Ivory Tower Squabble EST 2011. WINDMILL SURVIVOR
I did drive in the snow but I genuinely avoid it still. My truck is 4x4 and it handles pretty darn well if you just use brain cells when driving.
Still some of my fellow 4x4 drivers fail to understand is 4 wheel drive doesn't do much on ice and doesn't nothing for the distance you need to leave to stop your truck. Me if I don't have to drive in the snow I do avoid it 'cause if I am cautious that doesn't stop other fools from hitting me.

It is rare in the summer for me to turn off the A/C. I'm more inclined to turn the heat on and off in the fall.

I'm wondering if it's worse because of allergies or stress.People too, I now have something called Plax Psoriasis. It really itches and makes it worse, but the meds. are worse than lousy skin on my leg. It's funny you go along, and then things start breaking down slowly in your body. My Dr. calls it old age. Hey, who is calling me old?

Don't discount household disinfectants! A couple recent studies have shown a strong correlation between households that clean a lot with cleaners and kids who have food allergies and sensitivities.

The factories in Germany are already mostly fully automated. Robots, man. But their joblessness numbers didn't change. Having automated work still creates work! I, for one, am looking forward to a lot more automation. I have several people I work with who are scared of it though.

That's part of the reason we went organic, hasn't helped
Modern day organic is nothing more than a marketing scheme. You do a really great job at getting your vegetables from the source, but the truth is that it's REALLY difficult to get all your food from the source. We eat organic as much as possible because it's better than nothing, but it's not free from all the things we assume it is free from.

Nope. Never heard of it. Maybe it was just a west coast thing? I remember seeing the self serve restaurants in older movies taking place in NY. The automat. Think they were gone by the time I was old enough to have menories.

And as always I agree. FLORIDA.
Still @betty rose pay close attention as you decide over the next year or so how the new tax structures that are being pulled and tugged at by our leaders to see how everything shakes out. If we can't deduct our state income tax from our fed taxes anymore that favors Florida. If we can no longer deduct our property tax bill from tax returns that would favor SC as they don't have that for seniors. If you have a mortgage doesn't matter where ya live if that interest isn't going to be deductible any longer. Makes my head spin.
I'm getting closer to seniorsville so I waiting to see how this all shakes out.

I think both. Our allergies have been really awful this year, and stress is something else too. I've got both.

Not sure it is marketing. I spoke with an employee at Wegman’s which has its own organic farms. The small farmers they also get their produce from have to pay the government tens of thousands of dollars for the organic label and inspection. The food cannot have pesticides. They need to rotate crops. They need to use natural pest control methods. We grow organic in our garden at home. We use organic soil and fertilizer. It is very hard to grow organic. Of course you have chemicals in the rain pouring down, so yeah nothing is perfect, but it is better than buying produce or food that you know contains poison. I only am adamant about food quality because my mom died of an autoimmune disease which has ties towards internal inflammation. I did research on the subject and while some people may not get affected by such things, others do. Considering what happened to my mom, I assume my genetics may have a similar sensitivity as well as my kids, so anything I can do preventive wise I consider it my due diligence.
Long post over.

Us too, these politicians should stay out of our lives. Being a senior is getting harder and harder. I think they want to kill us off as I am a baby boomer, I'm going to live longer, just for spite!And as always I agree. FLORIDA.
