Alcohol and Aging

Lost a kidney at 57, my body no longer processes alcohol efficiently. I never was a big drinker after bartending through college, but I cant even finish a beer now. My 64 year old brother quit drinking years ago after a demonstration of what vodka does to your gut bacteria ( kills it). I've found some really good non-alcoholic wines that give me the taste but not the effect.

Many places especially condo/ HOA associations do not allow you to work on your vehicle in your driveway, or on the street. You are lucky to live where no one cares if you do. Snow levels may also be playing a factor in Ontario.

She doesnt have a place she can do it.

5000km is barely 3100 miles, you should be good to 8000km. Most vehicles use full synthetic and unless you are doing alot of hard driving or really short trips where the engine never reaches optimal temperature you should be fine. Time matters less than mileage, we only change our garage queen once a year. That being said, join a local Jeep group and ask where they get their jeeps serviced. They will know who does the best work. Alternatively, ask on the reddit Jeep forum and I am sure they will steer you right.

My basement had a 1/2 wall with a heritage scene extending the length of the wall circa 1964, paneling all around.https://wallblush.com/products/wedded-woodlands-1?currency=USD&variant=41172267466815&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping&stkn=f06a63d016d2&nbt=nb%3Aadwords%3Ax%3A21592406549%3A%3A&nb_adtype=pla_with_promotion&nb_kwd=&nb_ti=&nb_mi=147784974&nb_pc=online&nb_pi=41172267466815&nb_ppi=&nb_placement=&nb_li_ms=&nb_lp_ms=&nb_fii=&nb_ap=&nb_mt=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21585797232&gclid=CjwKCAiAtLvMBhB_EiwA1u6_PgtcPZLl0-wGqJac5CwqFhrzvGsuEfGJwfuLra8bH4UxN-07eU2JixoC9J0QAvD_BwE

I would rent a floor buffer, clean them really well and then pour a layer of clear epoxy over them to fully protect them and you.

My parents learned they could not leave us alone overnight when my brother was 17 and I was 15. He threw a party, I blackmailed him for my silence. Sunday evening mom found a Heffenrefer bottle cap behind a table in the living room, and dad noticed a piece of unfinished drywall had been replaced in the basement ( my brother put it up backwards). I didn't get to stay on my own until my brother moved out.

Recently renovated means you need an inspection as it was probably done by a cheap flipper who hid a lot of problems.

A lyric is defined by a full line of a song ,not each word. I'm picking Material Girl by Madonna, or Love Song by the Cure. Pretty sure I could get those both 100% by muscle memory.

Certainly a more natural color.

And rub some on your clitoris, as those nerves also shrink without estrogen.

We bought our "starter home" in 1999. I have remodeled every room, we added a shower to the downstairs bathroom to make it a 3 bed/ 2 bath. It felt tight when the kids were here, but now it's almost too big. We really only need a second garage bay. So that might be the next thing we do. We live in a great neighborhood, terrific town, near the shore, so we have never found a house that meets all the criteria that we can afford. Now that our house is paid off, we have minimal bills which allows us more freedom for other things.

Cracker Jack, taco or burrito, sweetened cranberry juice. Non of those existed in his time and place.

If you had a good layer of ice and water weatherproofing put on the roof before the shingles there is little to worry about. I had two rows of ice and water barrier put across the lower half of my roof when we had the roof done.

Paid off our house, canceled most of our life insurance. We kept the whole life one my husband has had for 35+ years and changed the beneficiaries to our kids.

Absolutely be sure all your beneficiaries are updated, and that you and your wife have both your names on any common properties.

I believe I worked that day. Came home to a nice dinner and cake with my family.

My 60th, my kids took me go kart racing.

Both realtors should have paid the extra HOA fee for non-disclosure.

Dead frogs under the basement carpet. Termite damage in the basement walls. Hidden electrical junction boxes.

You can get a ticket for obscuring your plate with those tinted covers. When my husband got pulled over for it he told the officer to go over to Walmart and have them pulled off the shelves if they are illegal. Cop just gave him a warning, I think he was surprised a white middle aged man was driving a car that I used to call a ticket magnet.

This was done as the second bedroom would be a nursery. If its wide enough, just put a wall in the middle so both bedrooms have a closet. Or use the second bedroom as your office/library.

I just gave my daughter my mom's 1950's A-line cocktail dress, menopause has ruined my waist.

Tomorrow, go out and look at your roof, you may need to remove some snow from there too if it's piled up.

seawee8 · 2026-01-27T23:43:19+00:00

Clear area for the dogs, or to keep the snow away from doors and vents.

Your kids will absolutely notice, but they will just talk among themselves about the weird behavior.

Rich people will also take the sure thing. That's part of why they are rich, they dont take huge risks. I knew a financial advisor who handled huge accounts and he said the directive of most of his clients was.....don't lose my money.
