I had to stop mowing my own lawn when I got migraines, ( and my battery powered mower, which weighs a tonne, the battery died during the years I didn't use it, what a waste! My old fashined reel push mower rusted too much to push anymore. :( ) I found at a discount store an electric cord powered lawn mower that weighs about as much as a vacuum cleaner. It was at Ollies: Good Stuff Cheap and cost about $100 but I had a 20% off coupon and came back for it. It is so much lighter, quieter and easier to navigate. My front yard has a slope and even the lawn service guys have difficulty on it. My overpowered box fan on wheels takes care of it and the only funny thing is dragging a bright yellow heavy-duty cord behind me. OTOH, I have given up on trying to find that plumbing clog. I've gone through 2 augers and the clog is further than I can reach. I don't want to pay the plumber but the cost to buy an engine powered auger, I may as well have them do it and do it right. I'm probably gonna be that 80 year old that can't be convinced to hire someone but your message reminds me I won't be able to DIY everything as I get older, despite that being my upbringing.

I've been saving money by doing curbside pick-up for my groceries. It's free, and I don't walk around the store picking up things I don't need. I may not see those clearance deals, but I'm at least not putting extra stuff in my cart. When I do go into the store, I like to bring a drink that I enjoy and is my own little treat while I'm shopping. It's from home, so no extra cost, and it helps with that feeling of wanting to buy extra treats while shopping.

It is crazy at the amount of people that still pay $100+ for phone bills. I have used mint before and now currently use boost infinite $25 unlimited plan. Same great service as mint and as Verizon as use that as work provided cell. Have used cricket years ago and no issues with it when used. Anyone paying over $35 a month for phone service needs to check out these companies for service. Also credit cards started offering phone insurance if pay phone bill using that card so check that as a perk instead of paying for ins thru provider.

Since I have ADHD, dopamine shopping 🛍️ is a battle. So now I let myself put whatever I want in the online cart.

My local Senior Center is a wonderful place to go for free activities and they serve a healthy breakfast and lunch for cheaper than you can buy the ingredients to make it. You can also sign up for free meals! I know you aren't a senior but many of your viewers are - especially since 55 is the age you qualify for most senior centers. They have travel clubs, raised gardens, ceramics, painting, dance and exercise classes, sooo many activities! Most businesses offer something for seniors like one day a week for seniors to get a discount, free coffee for seniors or special menu for seniors. Also, when I turned 66 (awhile back, LOL!), I got a Silver Sneakers card and can go to almost ANY gym free!!! There are special exercise programs at most of the gyms for the Silver Sneaker folks! If you weren't frugal before, being on a fixed income will get you watching all the good KZfaqrs! You are my fav! Thanks for all the amazing content!

As Kristine said, the library comin’ in clutch again. My state’s libraries offer FREE tickets to local museums, zoos & aquariums, botanical gardens & other local attractions. IIRC, the offerings are separated in either 3 parts - Northern state, Central & possibly Southern. Central & Southern might be combined. My county limits 3 tickets (2 people per ticket) per library card per month. The county south of here only allows 2 tickets (2 people per ticket) per library card per month. We tried to go to one of the botanical gardens last weekend just to see the butterflies, but the line was way too long so we left. If we paid $25 per ticket we would’ve had to stand in the sun.

Praise be on your finger injury is finally getting there!!!! I work for a hand surgeon and it's amazing how many people don't realize how vital even 1 finger being injured can be to your overall health - especially mentally!!! So glad you are getting back to normal Christine - whatever normal is, right? ;)

1:47 I live in Santa Cruz County, CA which has a ton of state parks (think redwoods) and state beaches. So my library has, get this, state park day parking PASSES you can check out for three WEEKS for free! Keep in mind, our state parks charge TEN DOLLARS to park! Speaking of parks, some of our parks have street parking close by that allow you to walk in at no charge! Plus, we have plenty of city and county parks you can use for free. Also, I have a disabled parking placard which I can use to park in nearby Mt. Madonna for free. It's in Santa Clara County, which does charge for parking.

So happy to hear your finger is feeling better! I appreciate you sharing your journey. I especially appreciate hearing what your PT said about doing the activities you. I had surgery several years ago and it took a good year for my nerves to re-learn new pathways and for the numbness to dissipate. Praying answered!

Woo Hoo for your finger healing and doing what you love! You go girl! Doing my daily stairs (46 flights) as I'm listening to you. My husband just did a free online exercise program in our basement. There is never a weather issue😅. Thanks for the reminder to look for reduced meat at our local store. You're the best Christine! Enjoy the sunshine and being active. 🌞

Oh gosh, don't get me started on kids birthday parties. My kids are 23 and 26 now, but they grew up in the era of kids inviting every classmate to a party, parents spending hundreds on a venue, etc. Not the values I wanted for my kids. I only let them invite kids they were actually GOOD friends with, invited through phone and email, we only had parties at our house, we played a few party games, had cake, opened gifts. Then run around and play together until parent pick-up. 2 hour party. I made all their cakes. Set out some chips and pretzels. I did let them pick a theme and I decorated for the theme. $50 max per party, which included decorations, food, any game supplies that might be needed. They had a party every year, until they didn't want them anymore. We all have such wonderful memories of all the parties.

I have nerve pain in my legs. I pulled something in my back by lifting a feed bag for my chickens. Going to doctor next week for some help. Yes nerve pain isnt fun. Glad your finger is doing better.

@Sasa-pm7jc 2 ай бұрын

Chicken feed bags are heavy! I use a wheelbarrow to move bag where it needs to go. Scoop what I need into a bucket and then carry it!! Best wishes! Arnica is a good pain gel that has helped me a lot in my past.

Why not workout outdoors while your child plays near you with yoga mat, etc... I bought toys for my children, blocks, and simple instruments (musical) little hammer and work bench, leggos, there are large ones as well as the more evolved ones, my old clothes for dress up, but mainly my children played outside! We bought a trampoline, (instead of amusement park that year) a swing set, my husband built a fort and a playhouse. It was a wonderland for my children, grandchildren, and their friends! And we visited the library quite a bit!

Happy to hear your finger is healing and you're able to do the things you enjoy. We went to Costco on Christmas Eve, I bought a pack of batteries and a bag of cashews, that's all. I probably got some serious looks, but I was out the door and didn't think twice.

With my fibromyalgia I suffer from nerve pain every day and it sucks. However, when I did the same thing as you... I almost collapsed from the pain. All I can say is, it's made my day to day pain so much more manageable because I know what that felt like. ❤❤ Glad you're healing.

HALLELUJAH! Nerve pain is a tough battle! I've dealt with it for 30+ years. You can't let it dictate your life or you won't have one. Yours can take 1-2 years to completely heal. Give it time and hang in there!
