Me too, @elkhound and you were actually supposed to laugh at my post about Mr. Peanut.
I cleaned inside my windshield, cleaned the bathroom, straightened some things up, got stuff for trash pick-up ready, went to the bank, gave an old lady a ride (poor little thing was walking UP a long steep hill on a highway, no beverage, it was kinda hot out), went to a store, had lunch, played rope with the dog, took dog for a walk, did two loads of laundry, ran the dishwasher, got gas. And so much more to do.
i was wowed though...think how many peanut jars are in the landfills around the country

there was a time glass was so high valued...colored glass even more...theres an old ship wreack from way way back in the day and its filled with blue colored ingots of glass to be heated and shaped into items at destination it was headed...the ships cargo was worth millions back then....i forget what else it had on it.

yall women are about to commit sins !!

thought shall not toss the old mans boxs out.....lol
These boxes need an expiration date!!
Thank goodness for dumpster pickup tomorrow morning. Little granddaughter and I stuffed 2 big screen tv boxes in the dumpster. They were in the garage for months "just in case".
 
I got rid of some of my LH's stuff many years ago, things he had for when he moved out of living with M&D. I don't think he liked that much. He had collected glass jars with the stopper lids, seems it was Mr. Peanut on the jars. They were good for storing dried beans, sugar, etc. I told him Mr. Peanut was gay and we wouldn't be having Mr. Peanut around anymore. (Stole photo off ebay.) Shame on me. They are collector items now.

How can a Mr Peanut be gay?
 
Do I have a recipe for my ...world famous beans... Yes and no... Will post that in the cooking area..

Lazy Sunday.. Really nice today.. Same predicted tomorrow and Tuesday.. Wednesday and remainder of week to be cooler.. We are about 50/75% leaf color change with most still on the trees yet.. Problem is we are under a ..severe.. fire danger warning.. Need some rain..

Monday is semi annual teeth cleaning appointment.. Will need to be sure to take Tylenol before that as I usually have 2-3 days of tender mouth after...
Will look for the recipe- thank you.
Me thinks you might need a new dentist. A cleaning shouldn’t hurt 😞

My internet is barely working so I might not be able to reply on here much tonight.
 
I'm home. Ate something before I decided to sit down at the computer. Exhausted. Tow guy was nice. I pointed out some good stuff in the deli bc he was hungry. Dude hasn't had a day off in 3 months and he had to go to Texas and back today-- had 5 tows and hopefully mine was the last. Good sense of humor. Very good driver too. No problems controlling his rig.

I'm about to take a nap and see about getting a replacement tire in the morning. Will see if the local tire shop has an old tire that can work until I can get new ones. Need all 4 tires replaced bc they are bald. Might keep a 4th one as a spare.
 
its why i told family now if i croak not to toss books on my shelves as so many are highly valuable...talked about it in the book thread where ever it is at....lol...i lose track of threads on forum easily.
That’s an awesome point. Need to put something of the sort in my will - don’t donate until you look up the value. Most are nonfiction or historical.
 
Why is it women ...manage... mens stuff when they get into there ..nesting mood.. and not big bunch of ...shoes, purses, scarves... you name it on there 9/10 of the closet ?? Why is there never money for a fishing reel that will last for years, but the toilet gets matching rug, tank top, seat carpet 5-6 times a year ?? Why isn't there a medication for this ??

Don't get me started...

🤔 Girly girls!! Just saying!!
 
These boxes need an expiration date!!
ahhhhh...no.....lol...boxes only expire when they fall apart and then resort to line #8 on marriage,concubine and girlfriend contract which says....upon boxes falling apart i promise to rebox till death do us part.


finally found a crack in amish hearts armor.....boxes !
 
Argghhh! Boxes.
You know if something breaks anyway (like a tv with an extended warantee), no need to keep the box This happened. You take a photo of the ID numbers of the tv, and they send you another one. Same with the ice maker. I found that happens this year. Since husband can't get out and shop, he buys stuff online and has it delivered. Sooo many boxes. You don't have to save them. Really.

I generally don't mess with other people's stuff and I like to keep boxes. Unfortunately, cats like to shred boxes and roaches love to infest them.
What? You mean you don't like this look?

LOL. Don't mind me. I'm tired and had been really bored waiting for the towtruck. Glad to be back home.
 
No one's throwing away my junk. Around '04 I did a lot of gold prospecting, even gave everyone little vials of gold for christmas one year. Now they all think I have gold stashed everywhere. They'll be fighting over my boxes of junk when I kick! 🤣

Did almost nothing today, getting some badly needed rest.
