    I never had a weight issue and the ole BP used to be classified as being in the high normal/normal range up until last year. Last year that became elevated/elevated a lot of people now have high BP.

    yes, learning new limitation is tough. That is why I have about 6 canes placed around different spots. Outside is the most dangerous. Picking something up from the floor is next.
    Turning around without thinking where I place my feet is another. All my ladders have been put where I can't get to them. I have a step stool I bought and keep where I can keep a eye on it so someone doesn't take that away from me. Catboxes, damm things. I have 4 boxes I change every other day. Litter goes into used pellet bags, then duct taped closed. Bags go to the landfill with the rest of the trash. I bleach the catboxes. catlitter is bought from Amazon and delivered right to my door. I have a little flatbed to haul it and other stuff into the house. Greatful that USPS and UPS provide that service. I have seen them use a hand truck and come up the ramp with their deliveries.

    I'm lucky if USPS can find the mailbox and it is plenty big enough. UPS has never been an issue.

    I go up and down the stairs no problem but outside the cane goes with me and usually I don't go outside.

    I am pretty sure the reporter was misquoted about Corinth

    "Biomass Magazine in a report published last month says that Corinth Wood Pellets has the capacity to produce about 85 metric tons of pellets a year."

    o_O

    I hope they can produce more than that !!

    David, with your luck w/ USPS - you could put up a 60 ft. billboard saying "SmokeyTheBear Lives Here!" .. and they'd still drive right by. :picard: * Hope you're feeling well, and takin' it easy up there in Bear country. :yes:

    imacman and others w an he top loader, advice? Is there a prewash on yours? Also, granted my last top loader was old school=non he, I loaded a fair amount of clothes and looked, they were all on the bottom 1/3 to 1/2 of the tub....... I was being conservative, maybe I did not put enough in? Thanks

    Eta, just checked that load that is done in the dryer, it was not a small load despite what it looked like during the washing process. Guess I'm getting up to speed with technology. Maybe? Still shocked there is no prewash.

    Just over the past three days, we are starting to see leaves changing color, drifting in the air, and collecting on the side of the road. It is also cooler and far lees humid than it has been, and the fall smell is just becoming noticeable in the air. It seems at last we are at the very beginning of what most of us consider "fall". FINALLY!!! Good grief, it was starting to seem like this summer of non-stop humidity and 90+ degree days would never end!

    Oh, and today is pretty close to a top 10 day. Let them keep on coming...
