He ended up getting new lenses for his glasses, kept the old frames, and still cost $255 out of pocket. Mine wasn't so bad this year since I didn't…

@emgracewrites Sad that your community no longer recycles. I live in a city where each house has a recycling bin that is placed curbside every other week for collection by the city. We recycle paper, (select) plastic, glass bottles & aluminum. Whatever I can keep out of the landfills, I do, have for decades. Certain other…

Hubby and I no longer have gifts…

Not an insane question at all. But, nope, I do not walk our 45# dog on the treadmill. Mostly because she absolutely hates the treadmill. Once I turn it on, she leaves the room. She doesn't particularly like cold, but once she's on leash, she doesn't much mind. We have a fenced in backyard which is big enough for her to run…

Late posting today, but keeping myself accountable. @pridesabtch Prayers for Hayden! @sugarfreesquirrel I agree with what @pridesabtch said about this thread. It's a great group for accountability without judgment, and support for each other. I find if I type goals out for others to read, it makes me more likely to follow…
