Sounds like a great outcome to me... except we don't get a picture if it. My healthy tooth, according to dentist, is trying to wiggle out of my mouth very slowly...but indeed is still intact in the mouth. 😉 Sorry no picture of my tooth...but my friend wants to show hers off... 😄 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play gullible and ask stupid questions. I figure if they’re busy with me they aren’t bothering someone else. Of course, I usually just ignore them. I used to do that...but found it made the calls more frequent. I think having answered the phone sets up the robo call computer as a live person it can reach. Eh...so now I don't answer it at all unless I am absolutely sure of who it is. I pay to use my phone...scammers don't pay any of my bill. 😉 And I have voice mail. 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted February 10, 2021 #7629 Share Posted February 10, 2021 That is why I like the setting on my phone, that it will only let calls through if it is someone in my address book. All others don’t even ring, and they go straight to voicemail. If it is important, they can leave a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And living room, family room, Chris’s office.... We are slowly working our way through the house. Kitchen done, guest bath done, main bath almost done, next up: Carpeting in bedroom, and walk in closet. Then total upgrade, tile flooring, and custom furniture design in office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which brings me to this point. Years ago, when applying for new phone number, I had to submit credit report, proof of residency...etc. Now? It's anything goes. Phone companies greedily hand out millions of phone numbers for these scammers to use for a price. 😡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not positive, but I think they stopped making it many years ago. Beautiful strawberries. I love strawberries like you love raspberries. Hope they enjoy 😍 Oh no...they still make Corelle dishes. I have a full set in the motor home (AKA "land yacht"). They are practically indestructible and light weight...perfect for an RV. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted February 10, 2021 #7635 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Lately I have been sharing how even though I am retired I have been busy with our daughters wedding planning ( she lives out of town) and I have been doing a great job of I do say so myself. Plus re-decorating and get new floors in our house. In addition my husband had lost his last remaining relative last year ( he inherited the house) and my new job has been in dealing with their hoarding throwing away tons of old bags, bills, disposable store containers, they never threw anything out. Organizing for a massive garage sale. After 7 large dumpsters. And after all the donations to goodwill, amvets, maternity house and moving all sellable items to storage till spring garage sale the house is empty. And will be going on the market. Well kind of empty. I saved the best for last. I found these old bottles with no expiration date on them. I wonder if they are still good. I know this is their collection , some bottles are over 75 years old. Just wondering if they are still good ? Wonder if they are drinkable? Asking for a friend. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is their collection , some bottles are over 75 years old. Just wondering if they are still good ? Wonder if they are drinkable? Asking for a friend. Well I need to start on organizing in my flat. We have a large attic space. Good for summer clothes and kids toys (we have brought down the Sylvanians for the younger family members at family meals) - but there is stuff that needs to go. We married here in 1988 when it was a brand new flat. We have never needed to sort out. When I finish my thesis that is the first job. I am nearly retired and I could leave it till then, but I do want to get on with it now. Now alcohol is not something that we have stockpiled !! I would not be happy drinking half opened bottles, doesn’t seem right even though if you go to a bar that is what you do!! The tanqueray is winking at me. I can’t see why things like the whisky would go off - alcohol is a preservative. Is that a bottle of chianti? That wont have lasted. The Baileys is not something to keep. What is the one on the far right at the back row? Did they get it as a ‘gift’ in their room from NCL? MD 2020 looks and sounds horrid. Definitely one for the bin bag. The vodka looks cheap and nasty. Google ‘what can I use vodka for’ and you will find uses around the house that don’t involve you drinking it. Enough procrastination, back to my thesis.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of the alcohol like Jameson and J&B and Tanqueray will be fine. Send the cheap Paramount vodka to John. I would keep the vintage Chianti because of nostalgia. The cream liquors, probably should toss, but they probably won’t hurt you, if they haven’t been opened. Mixers trash. MD 20/20, I used to put in my Bota Bag for skiing, 40 years ago. I would probably be willing to test any of them for fun.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rented a cabin for two weeks from Catkin Kilcher of the "Alaska the Last Frontier" series located out next to the "Homestead" on their property out there in Homer Alaska. The cabin/house had full running water, electricity, washer/dryer, dishwasher...etc....and internet. 😉 Had a lot of nice visits from not only her, but many from Otto, ...coming by in his tractor most times. Pretty cute. Enjoyed walks down to area they rebuilt the old original family one room cabin near the bay. Met a lot of the family, all nice people. Nice family, but indeed no where near the drama they show on TV. And no where near the "remote" that they make it seem. 2 miles of gravel road coming in off the main paved highway there, then just 12 miles into town with hospitals, 3 grocery stores, lots of restaurants, tourist trap shops, car repair, building supplies, etc...etc. AND...yes a McDonalds in the middle of town. 🤭 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not usually big on reality shows either. However, this one does have me rather hooked. I'm not sure if it the boats, the locations, some sort of glimpse into yachty life and the people that charter these boats, or all of the above. Sometimes I watch The Love Boat retuns just to look at the ship. The secondary stories are usually pretty lame. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted February 10, 2021 #7645 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Far right back row is a bottle of pre mixed margarita mix. Alcohol and mix combine. Just like Jack Sparrow, all I want is rum. Captains 100 will do just fine. And of course. No rum to my liking. Stay healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen haywood Posted February 10, 2021 #7647 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Speaking of phones, our IPhones often show “Spam Risk” when a call comes up. My husband answered one by chance one day and it was the health department scheduling his covid vaccine! They won’t leave a message. Good thing he answered it! I’ve tried to find an answer as to how to disable this function to no avail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
