The Magic Jars

So today is the last day I have instant access to my credit and debit cards.  As you may have read in my previous posts, I am going on a cash only budget!  I somehow was able to get ahead of my paycheck and am a paycheck ahead.  This will allow me to ensure all of my bills are paid on time (as per u…

    Zero Megapixels

    I didn't want to include this in my last post because it had nothing to do with the theme of war.  In my pile of goodies that Uncle brought over, I also inherited two cameras.  Not just ANY cameras though.

    I was given a Brownie Hawkeye Camera Hash Model!  I have NO clue how to work it, whether …

    'Cec' as he was affectionately known was my Paternal Grandfather.  A well loved man who always greeted everyone with a smile and worked hard all his life.  Grandpa lived in Black Creek BC when I was growing up in a small rancher on a bit of land at the end of Oakes road.  For some time, my Aunt Cher…

    Don't hurt my feelers

    One of my biggest pet peeves is when I offer [could be anything] to a friend or a family member (offer, without being asked) and I don't get a response.  Obviously this is usually by email or text.  At least have the decency to respond with a simple, 'thanks, but no thanks' if they are not intereste…
