Shopping--What did you buy?

[John Brunner]

I felt kind of bad but it took a bit to deal with tools and parts. This morning they were both out and glared at us. No nod or raised hand. Truck still sitting there. We have appointments which require two vehicles 2-3 times a week.

The entitlement some people have for the belongings of others (or in life in general) is insane.

I find 2 things have changed the older I get:

1-I'm more patient with those who deserve it.
2-I'm more blunt with those who deserve it.

I have all the time in the world for someone who needs help, and no time at all for someone who just needs.

May I borrow your last line please?

It's yours. Daggone people who burn up more energy making others accountable for their lives than they would figuring out how to be responsible for themselves.

I went to ACE and returned the grass cutter that doesn't work, and I went into the Closeout area they have.

I bought two magnetic pickups that are bendable to reach stuff that's fallen around corners and in awkward spots:

I also bought a carpenter's pencil holder with a retractile cord that clips on your belt. It solves the problem of laying the thing down "somewhere" or shoving it in one of your pockets:

Not yard sale prices but better than half price, and under $20.

It does work! Gator skin is going back to normal within three days of slathering it on. No scent, no stickiness.

I am having a case of want. My cutting board is a butcher block beast of 1.5x2.5 which fit over one of the islands in the house in Texas. I generally use commercial thin plastic cutting sheets on it.
Want or need?

I use those thin plastic cutting boards as well. I've been thinking of getting one of those metal ones that's supposed to be anti-bacterial, but haven't researched what they'll do to my knife edges.

I use a large correlle plate. Plastic cutting boards release plastic and my beautiful wood boards I feel guilt using.

I own probably a dozen cutting boards of various sizes, all of them are wood or bamboo,. My most used is a small thin bamboo board that is easy to clean. I have some very good knives and there's no way I'd use anything but wood cutting boards.

My husband has made me some beautiful wooden cutting boards. They are solid wood and can be refinished, if need be.

I only use the wood cutting board when carving roasts or chicken, because it has the moat around the circumference.
