I am learning to let go of a lot of stuff, mostly because out next generation have little to no interest in it... so I'd rather get it in appreciative hands than know it's going to end up in a garage sale

Our outages seem to have gotten worse, rather than better, as time goes by. I guess we just have a very old and decaying infrastructure.

Oil lamps are a good idea; we have a few of those. We also have cats, though... so they have to be locked away so they don't get knocked over and spilled, when not in use. That backwards-running clock

It doesn't take much at all. We've gotten fairly used to it... it was just a week since I wrote this post, and we were once again in the dark, this evening.

Thank you! It has always been one of my favorite places, growing up. Barely a week since I wrote this post, and the electricity was out this evening. We read, and I even managed to post a Hive post from

The vast majority of tribal tokens are sketchy propositions, in my opinions. When your starting premise is "earn some extra rewards," sellers invariably end up outnumbering buyers by 20-to-1...

I regularly remind myself to feel happy about Hive on a "unit basis" because my stash has kept growing, in terms of HP. In tough times it becomes especially important to stick with quality because

Always be yourself! Besides, everyone else is already taken... I don't remember who said that, but it has resonated since the very first time I read it. Authenticity matters!

Wise, indeed, to take the time to just pause and enjoy what is all around us... and not take it for granted. Even those of us who work from home sometimes tend to get caught up in the hopeless rat race

I guess I consider myself fortunate that I am not a crypto trader, just someone who'll choose an asset with long term potential, buy in, and just hand on to it... It;s nice to see Hive law its way back

Well, we're just not 19, anymore... I was never a "high energy" type of person, but I was the one who'd methodically keep going for 10, 12, 16 hours straight, LONG after everyone else had gotten

Happy New Year to you, Joan! Sticking to it is always a challenge, isn't it? Part of my shcedule this year is about keeping it simple. Planning for more of what actually is proven and works while getting

Much success in reaching your goals! Happy New Year!
