Happy solar return, Barb. Glad you're here with us, still.

Re: 55-- That's when my mom started looking for "senior" discounts. If you're over 50, I think you can start to take advantage of them! Look some up :-) Even though 65 is Medicare, I would highly recommend seeing if you're eligible for AARP or anything else too

Thank you, Christa! I’m an AARP member lol, and I actually have Medicare because I’m disabled.

I'm glad you're here, Barb. Happy birthday. I relate to the feeling of not wanting to live past a certain age, but I'm still here, too. Grateful.

Happy 55th birthday! I'm so glad you made it this far, and look at that beautiful smile on your face! I'm touched by your resilience and transformation, depsite the challenging condition you've been living with. I laughed when you mentioned the senior discounts and apartments. I can't wait till it's my turn... less than 4 years now, LOL!

I'm 36 and I'm just lucky to be alive. Just lucky I'm out of jail 😆 all those stupid things I had done. But the truth is it feels like it goes by fast, doesn't it? some times life drags on too. we're still here is what's most important

I can’t believe I’m 55. Time does go by so fast unless I’m depressed and that’s when it drags. I’m glad we’re both here.

The Seafood City in San Diego gives a 6% discount on Thursdays! And now they have an app for earning points too.

Hmm, I wonder if the Seafood City here does the same, but we usually shop at a local independent grocer. Still, it’s not like they carry patis!

I make adobo only from the soy sauce and vinegar from there. It doesn't taste the same with any other.
