As I've mentioned, I >am the difficult one here. Like you I prefer shopping in the early morning, however not now. Our supermarkets all close overnight now (10pm-7a.m) while they wipe everything down (they really do it, a friends teen got a job doing that). Then 7-9a.m. is seniors hour. Suits me, usually go there around 7a.m. but now I have to shop later, I can't be in a store with a bunch of other seniors. They can't seem to make up their minds, they don't follow the direction arrows and at the cashiers???? That's the very worst. I was behind an old guy who didn't know how to work his debit card. She tried to guide him by saying, put in your pin number. He didn't know what that was, she reminded him he must have a 'secret' number or word then he seemed to get it, it took about ten minutes arrrggh. However unlike you, I don't nap in the daytime or I would not get any sleep at night lol |

My grocery store opens at 6 am every day. Tuesdays and Thursdays 6-7 am are for seniors. I went on Thursdays for a while, then I switched to Fridays. It's much less crowded and there are no stupid old ditherers. Cindy Hamilton |

I also still paint occasionally (not a night job) but just pick and choose the easy quick ones. I have 2 nice inside jobs waiting. We agreed to wait until the Covid nonsense settles down. I'm starting to wonder about that though. I'm over 10 months now since my last haircut but I'll just keep waiting for that too. Hippy Gary. |

I cut my own, can even do the back. Using a pair of scissors looking in a mirror can be tricky. Learned to cut hair years ago. Give a few Covidcuts to other also. Just like this: https://indianexpress.com/article/trending/trending-globally/coronacut-quarantine-haircut-haircut-fails-coronavirus-6371107/ |

I've been trimming my own hair for years. Jill |

I've been trimming my own hair for years. > Jill Easy for you. Short hair is more difficult. A couple of weeks ago I grabbed my husband's electric clippers, put on the 3/8" head and did the back and sides. The top is about 1" long, maybe a little more. My husband cleaned up the nape of my neck for me. It's a terrible haircut. Ideally, the hair would be short at the nape and progressively longer toward the crown of my head. But it doesn't really matter. Cindy Hamilton |

Maybe only 20 year >life but a big savings now and in the long term. There are several types of asphalt shingles, from cheapos with a 15 year warranty to archetectural asphalt with a 25-50 year warranty. When I bought this house it had recently installed 50 year warranty archetextural asphalt shingles.... after about 20 years they still look brand new. Kootchie is mentally retarded to pay more than that entire house is worth for a roof REPAIR that will likely well outlive him, except for a hail storm that those tiles won't survive. There are many styles of archetextural tiles and many companies that produce them: https://www.iko.com/na/learning-center/learn-about-roofing/what-are-architectural-shingles/ >And not new copper gutters either. Those are also only >for historic houses. Copper gutters and leaders turn splotchy green (verdigris) and won't look good on all houses... also quite pricey. I recently had new gutters and leaders installed because those that were there were too small to carry the water from such a large roof... those were only 3 1/2", I had 5" installed, easily carries all the water from heavy rains... all the schmutz too, winds blow pine cones onto the roof from 50' away, now they wash down the 5" leaders. BTW putting those screens over gutters is a waste, then you'll need to constantly clean the screens, which requires removing and replacing. |

Ours don't. Twice a year we attach the snorkel that my husband made out of Schedule 80 PVC to the leaf blower and walk around the house getting the maple tree seeds (spring) or leaves (fall) off the gutter screens. Much easier than cleaning 10x the debris out of the gutters. Cindy Hamilton |

Come on people. Everyone needs to clean out their gutters once or twice a year. If you have pine trees near the house, do it 3 times a year. Pine cones aren't the problem, it's the needles that constantly fall. |

Roofing contractors pay an exorbitant amount for insurance just like > tree trimmers. I have no doubt that roofing liability insurance is high. Especially when they do a flat roof. One little missed spot could cause much damage below and inside. Talk about high insurance. I read that just a GP doctor paid about 100K per year for insurance 30 years ago. I don't doubt it. |

I had new architectural blue shingles last year with rip and 15 sheets of ply $4700. Small 1000 sq ranch. Looks great, 30 year. I'll be gone by then. My last 30 lasted 20. I'll still probably be fertilizer. At 113k I would off myself the next day. |

My Aunt does that. Is that myth even true. Sound so dumb. I've always just fished out a couple pieces of pasta and chewed to test for doneness. Throwing it against the wall... lol. Get outta here. |

| bruce2bowser@gmail.com: Jul 17 07:32AM -0700 Too many gardens are scary because of snakes, bee swarms, poison ivy, etc... I remember I was hit with about 20 or 25 hornets or wasps. And that was because I was close enough to the house to run inside and shut the door quick enough to leave the rest of the swarm outside. I was hurting for a whole day or so. |

I worked with a guy years ago that wore his wifes old panty hose rather than long underwear to stay warmer when working outside in cold weather. I'm sure it did help insulate. He did wear normal pants on top of that. |
