BigMontanaSKY Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Went to a yard sale super early and grabbed some very nice things. In my last place of residence the yard sales were terrible so this was a nice change. (This sounds dumb to be excited by a yard sale, but when you budget, you have to take your happiness when you can find it, lol.) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Had a good, long heart-to-heart with Ma today. Long overdue. It's always good to get on the same page about Life, the Universe and Everything. Edited August 7, 2023 by Principled Man 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 My tarantula molted successfully, and she looks beautiful in her new exoskeleton. I had a feeling she was gonna molt, her abdomen was changing and she was soaking up lots and lots of moisture. I'm very happy that everything went smoothly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it counts as repurposing/recycling. Recently bought a bunch of cat beds/carriers so I can donate them to the animal shelter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some good things, they also will fix stuff to sell, Goodwill just throws it out. My favorite is Savers, they support Big Brothers/Sisters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) I got a $15 Amazon ecard and all I had to do is give a 5 star review to some water flosser I purchased a month ago after my dentist recommended it when I got a deep cleaning on my last appointment.

I read the Wrecking Crew a few years back and enjoyed Carol Kaye's story, being the only gal in that legendary backup group. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Got to enjoy the first football game of the year Thursday, Utes vs Florida Gators. Got a great win without our #1 QB and RB playing. Had 53,000 people there (a record, now the stadium has been enlarged). Still not a fan of August games (too hot!!) but Go Utes!

The Duck book consist for the most part of transcriptions (+tabs), and the biographical part is pretty short. There are some nice photos, too. The book is in black and white. A recommended easy read for anybody interested in the subject. Carol is the godmother of bass, a true legend. I haven't read the Wrecking Crew book but I'm familiar with the story. Might be worth a read. Thank you for the tip. Edited September 8, 2023 by Sun & Moon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Moments ago: I was out on the back patio, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. Two squirrels were on a tree about ten feet away from me. Out of the sky came a hawk, swooping down at the squirrels, who managed to dodge it at the last split-second. The hawk whooshed over my shed and went up in the air, then circled once around my yard before departing. Just missed his dinner. The squirrels were screaming, some crows nearby were screaming.....but I wasn't screaming. I thought it was COOL!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 It was actually yesterday, the 14th was the anniversary of the first date between me and my hubby. 31 years ago...can't believe it has been so long. He's a great guy and he gave me a cute little hummingbird pull for the ceiling fan. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
