Seniors, like me, get no break on anything. You cant qualify for any help because your income is just over being desolate. Its just not fair. Nobody gives a senior discount on things you need. I was less than $200 over to qualify for any help on electric bills.

My boiler as been cycling on much more often during this spell of negative temps. I have already used almost half of my years oil. This as been a brutal winter so far for me. But the ski slopes and snowmobile lovers are very happy. I just wish all the cold and snow can go there and stay there...

So do I, wedding present in 1975. Still got some but most of the lids got broken.

For me, simple Cremation, no obit or funeral, be placed in my designated spot between my parents with my brother and sister .My will and everything is all taken care of. Now I hope I wont have to go in there for as long as I can.

I can tell if my Silverado is in 4 or 8 by pushing one of the buttons or simply watch the tach drop.

I have a 1977 Whirlpool Mark Series M/W that was the top of the line but it only puts out 750 watts. Still works but fan is very noisy. Its on my refrigerator and only use the digital clock and timer now. I use a small Kenmore basic M/W from the 80"s with 1100 watts and a simple dial timer
