You must save a ton of money by working on your own cars, Jimmy. I know I dread every time mine has to go in the shop...cha ching!
I have a ton of errands to run this afternoon. Of course, they're spread out all over town, so I'm trying to decide which ones I can put off until later...typical me.
my Daddy owned a mechanic place. i swear, he refused to repair cars we owned. lol. jerk.
Worked around here getting ready for the cold and snow coming tonight. Amish boys were up this afternoon for a few hours and we got another stack in the woodshed. Still have a long way to go. Temp dropped like a rock this afternoon and the wind really got blowing hard.

Leaves, Leaves and more leaves!
I get finished blowing leaves, and in 1 hour, looks like before I started. LOL
Tomorrow, I ride and mulch them with the tractor now that they are not piled too high! There are still 1/2 of the leaves stuck on the trees. Wished I could hire a few giraffs
to eat the leaves off the trees. hahahahaha
Tomorrow, I tune up the snow throwers. Just got another one from my cousin in PA. He got a new one, and gave me the 22 year old Troy Bilt. It is in showroom condition.
Boy, Is that blower made well. No plastic parts on that one.

I have busy picking fixtures for my bathroom project. It's getting down to the wire, so I've got to make some decisions, which is very hard for me.
I've also been shopping for home and auto insurance just to make sure that what I've got is a good deal. I read that you should check different company's rates every two or so years. I bet I've been with the same company for over 15 years without checking other rates
.
I'm sure loving the commercial-free Netflix. I've been hooked on Switched at Birth.

Glad to hear the N-Fix is going fine for you.
Tina has been on my rear to consolidate the car and home insurance to get a cheaper price. We have Plymouth Rock car, and Liberty Mutual Home ins.
They are high! $$$$$$$
Tina is right. Tina is right. Tina is right.
Tina is right. Tina is right. Tina is right.
Tina is right. Tina is right. Tina is right.
I've always had mine consolidated for the discount. I'm checking out State Farm and Allstate.
Am in the process of making meatballs and spaghetti. I eat low carb, so am not supposed to eat pasta, but this is Dreamfield's, they use to advertise it as being lower carb and not shooting the blood sugar up as high as regular pasta. Yeah, I know that has proved not to be true, but once in a while I pretend it is true and just go for it.

That's a lotta right! Right?
It's MY FAULT... I had the cars and the home on Liberty Mutual, and I got a cheaper rate from Plymouth Rock.... but then the House insurance went up a lot because I did that.
So the cheaper didn't really mean a thing.

My husband is alo diabetic and his doctor told him to eat whole wheat pasta. It doesn't affect the blood sugar as much.

A couple Tbs. of Apple Cider Vinegar when eating spaghetti or high carbs, cuts the carbs in half. Gotta disguise it in lemonade or lemon drink, and we take the capsules.
Tina gets them at the health food store or Puritan Pride. It works for us.
Apple cider vinegar slows the carb absorption as I was told by a severe diabetic who watches her numbers.
Thanks. I treat my diabetes different than most, I don't eat any grains at all (unless I cheat, like today) because I strive to keep my blood sugar below 140 at all times. 4 years and I still don't have to take any meds, so far so good, knock on wood.
That's some great information. I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks.
. I've already found a way to save $500 by switching. I've still got one more quote coming before I make up my mind.sylviadewy

Thanks you so much.
The house was prepped for three days of guests who will be arriving soon and I'm set up to start smoking a turkey later tomorrow morning.
Wow, that is just delightful, JoeV. I wish I had that much counter space! Looks like House Beautiful happening at your place.
I braved the wild people and did a little Black Friday shopping yesterday. Everyone in the stores seemed nice and calm, but the maniacs driving in the traffic were a different story.
Sams had some Kenneth Cole boots that I wanted to look at, pretty good deal for $29. Ended up with just a few things and came home and ordered some shower fixtures online.
