I played in the dirt and played with the water (worked on the sprinkler system).

For a very vegetative taste, use a bag of frozen peas and carrots. Put about a cup of it into a blender with some water and blend it into a smooth puree. Be sure to use a juice nipple on the bottle. 🤢
The perfect way to make sure you eat your veggies!

I picked tomatoes from our garden and watered the container plants. Then, I went to the office instead of working from home for a change.

"Mom, dad, I'm not feeling well... can I sleep with you..." (you can imagine the rest)
I have a vivid memory of uttering those words when I was very young. The next thing I knew, my mother was rushing me to the bathroom in the nick of time. In retrospect, I'm amazed at how fast she got out of bed!
And, since I didn't mention it before, we also have a mattress protector on our bed (though I also slide 3x4 protector under the sheet when I diapered because it is easier to wash).

Same here. We change/wash the sheets every couple of weeks. The leaks are always small and I just let them air dry. In the event of a major leak, I'd pull the sheet off and wash it right away. So far, that's never happened.

Since the 80s we've had 13 cats. There was 1 shelter adoption and the rest were strays. The most at one time was 5.
Currently we just have a tabby that was separated from her litter mates while only a couple of months old. She had all the parasites (fleas, ticks, tape worms and ringworm). My wife caught the ringworm from her. Took for ever to get rid of that one (uh, the ringworm not my wife). That was 18 years ago and we aren't planning on having any more.
There were also a couple of dogs back in the 90s, but who's counting 😉

I've never had a burning sensation before, but I've found it best to limit the bedtime water to less than 500ml about an hour before bed.
Too much water (for me anyway) results in waking up in the middle of the night bursting to pee and flooding my diaper beyond capacity. Also, drinking it right before bed (again, for me) doesn't get enough converted to urine while asleep and I wake up at the usual time bursting to pee.
I've also found my overall salt intake has a huge impact on the whole process. Having fast food for dinner or eating out in general (particularly Mexican, Indian and Chinese) will dam it up for a couple of days before getting back to normal.

Yes, I was still getting it years later when I moved to a new house.

That's who I got my Molicares from back in the day. Took me forever to cancel my subscription when I switched to North Shore.

My dad was born in 1920 on a farm, the 5th of 7 kids. He used to tell us they used corncobs for toilet paper (outhouse back then). He said they had red and white corncobs. You used a red corncob first, then a white corn cob to see if you needed another red one.
My mother grew up on a farm in the '20s as well. No running water or electricity and they listened to the radio from a 12v car battery that was charged up with a windmill (she called it a wind charger). They had an outhouse and used chamber pots at night. Somehow, I'm not sure why, but what they used for toilet paper never came up (though she died when I was 22).

Toilet paper replacement?
I'm trying to figure out how to get my backside "clean" with 8.1 sheets.

I limit mine to 4 cups, though I call it 2 mugs.

We had burgers on the grill. I'm planning to make ribs next weekend though.

I'd go snow skiing at St. Moritz.

Here's the first thing that came to my mind:

we just today filled up only a half tank,, $50, and it was $4.50 a gallon and that's not a horrible price for here..I would love it to be $2 , I don't think we have had it that low since the 1980's if then.
Living in the oil patch has some advantages in the cost of energy. Our gas tax is also among the lowest in the country.
I remember buying gas in the '60s to fill the lawn mower and paying 25 to 30 cents for it. That was back when middle eastern oil was being imported for less than $5 a barrel. The flip side to that was my father could barely make enough money to scrape by because all the local O&G exploration dried up.

We have not seen anything less than $3.89 in 10 years
During the pandemic, my records show I paid less than $2 for most of 2020 (a side effect of keeping track of my gas mileage). But the summer of 2022 I paid as much as $5.

On May 1st, I paid $3

My wife is very understanding about eating out, my son wanted to do something yesterday or today, you would have an hr or more wait today for eating out,,we live in a small town that is full of people on holidays and then car shows festivals etc, so you have to do stuff on a week day, to get around the crowd, so we are still trying to figure out what fun thing to do today, and my sone will meet up with us on a non busy weekend..
When our kids were teenagers, we started going to our local Indian restaurant for their lunch buffet because there was never a crowd. Our youngest wasn't quite old enough to appreciate the food, but liked the tandoori chicken and was happy. That strategy does require you to live somewhere that has that kind of exotic cuisine. These days, sadly, our grandchildren are too young to even consider any kind of chicken that isn't called a "nugget" or a "strip".

My mother has been dead for well over 40 years. My wife, however, wants lighters for her candles (at least 1 for every room), lots of cheap scissors and tape. She also gets a card and flowers.

My wife will change mine if I ask her to. She's not really into it though, so I only rarely ask.

We regularly use our neighbors trash and vice versa, but not without asking first.
