Rare Lionesss Posted July 25, 2022 #65751 Share Posted July 25, 2022 In the summer when we host outside BBQ of course we always use paper products. But for birthdays and holidays and when we have indoor dinner parties of course I bring out the good stuff. But my paper products supply is diversified. I buy on sale at “PartyOn” or Dollar Tree. Only one year I used paper plates at Christmas. Not doing that again. The new green border with watermelons ( back right ) was this year’s purchase at Sams. Not on sale. But thought it was cute and got it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately we have that darn humidity all the time. Here in southeastern PA, In the last week we had a high of 104 one day others have been 98 or 100f, humidity too! Very muggy today with storms to arrive this evening. Stay cool😃 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only important thing is acceptance of each other's methods and willingness to listen respectfully to suggestions for improvements, As was just shown we can all keep on learning shortcuts and ways to simplify posting.

No worries, just not surprised at all. I may have inadvertently placed myself in the old boys club. My bad. Thought the exchange was tongue-in-cheek.

We will use them especially for a lunch sandwich or breakfast. For dinner if I make a meal we will use or dishes and always use dishes for guests. This is exactly what we do. Paper plates for a sandwich, pizza or late night snack. As paper plates were hard to find during covid we really stopped using them as often. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly Ben Franklin said that. I never subscribed to this theory. I can spend a lot of time and effort saving 100 pennies. If I lose just one dollar, I'm back to even. I focus on the dollars and I don't sweat the pennies. At least sometimes. We went to dinner the other night and spent $150 with nothing to show for it but a good memory and a few extra pounds. Yet I'm looking at buying a $20 wireless charger for my iPhone and am questioning if I really need to spend that money given that I can just plug it in to charge. Priorities I guess. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I have wireless chargers and hate them. Makes your phone unusable until the charge is completed. It's a gimmick. My only use case for one is to charge a device where the charging port is broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting empties to good use. But seriously, the grandkids classrooms usually have a penny drive each year, so we let them take them and donate to their cause. Without the rum bottles, of course. 🤣 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only use case for one is to charge a device where the charging port is broken I thought they were fully functional while charging...watch videos, FaceTime, etc. My main use case is for my nightstand. Set the phone on the charger in landscape mode with a clock app that doesn't let the screen go to sleep (I use this one) and I no longer need a charging cable or nightstand alarm clock. Might also put one in the office for hands free video calls with the kids. Here's the charger that I'm contemplating: Anker 313 Wireless Charger (Stand) MagSafe looks interesting and has a few advantages (particularly aligning the charging coil) but is also significantly more expensive than a basic Qi charger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now my phone is over two years old and I've noticed that it does not stay charged the whole day. What do you recommend on a cruise or an airplane where you don't have access to a plug for charging. Any good portable chargers out there? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's running but hardly feel cool air coming out of the vents. Late afternoon/early evening we went from a comfortable 72 to 81 f in the house. Set up fans last night. Called hvac guy this morning, waiting for call back. Fingers crossed it is an easy fix. It is storming here now and very,very windy.There is a tornado watch for my area as well as a flood watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
