What are you doing?

[Andy M.]

...The food sample people probably have no idea.

At last around here, the free sample people don't work for Costco.

 

[Aunt Bea]

The facewipes have ALWAYS been in the first aisle before the soap and shampoo here! How dare Costco!

And of course, nobody around to ask. The food sample people probably have no idea.

Try COSTCO online, I think they have free shipping, also try Jet.com.

Thanks, AB, that was to be my next step. It's a travesty, I tell ya!

I have a few 15 packs left, and I rip the wipes in half, so they're good for 30 days.

Good idea!

I keep a pack of them in the drawer of the end table in my living room next to the recliner. Nice for a quick facial wipe before I inevitably fall asleep.

What I've been doing compared to what you all have been doing, is not nearly as much fun. I've been on a cleaning and throwing stuff away binge for the past 2 days. I might be going up to the Sacramento area in NoCal to visit my aunt and uncle for a few days in the coming week, and want to come home to a clean house with as little to do as possible.

Like you I've been doing the same for a few weeks. Binging and tossing out things is much easier when I can do it alone. Were up to at least 2 dump runs, and have about $200.00 in recyclables to be turned in.

When I've had the time I've been planting flat after flat of free flowers and plants. I think more is heading my way today. The plants and flowers that didn't sell are being given away. They've remembered my fessing up to my mistake a few weeks ago and have been telling my son to fill up the cars trunk with what it can hold. "Your Mom will love them!"
Gee thanks Wally...?

I have 8 Rosy Glow Barberry bushes to plant and it's raining. Looks like I'm getting a shower whether I want one or not. The front flower bed is almost done, found a penstemon and two anemones. Also going to plat a Flowering Almond. Then I have a backyard full of weeds to kill. All this after I run into town for my prescriptions...and I slept in today.

I don't know why I do that...when I'm planning on being gone from the house for more than a few days I feel like I've got to clean and purge. Next thing you know I'll be leaving a note for my survivors to delete my browsing history on my laptop.

Glad you got to sleep in today Princess, and it sure sounds like you've been busy in the yard of your new home. Glad the weather has been cooperating at least a little. Flowering Almonds are SO pretty!

 

[Dawgluver]

No, not quite! I love the Kirkland facial towelettes, Dawg. Sorry you couldn't find any this time. The last time I was in Costco - at least a year and a half ago - I found them in kind of a weird place, but I don't remember where. I bought 3 boxes of them.

Huh. Upon further inspection, the familiar blue box facewipes are now in lavendar boxes, and people are not happy. Though apparently it's the same formula, just a different color. I ordered some from Costco with free shipping.

....saying goodbye to this forum - time to move on to where appreciation of organic food is not given such a hard time!

Thanks to all those that have supported me here e.g. via likes and PMs.

Flight Review

Today I passed my Biennial Flight Review that allows me to fly for another 2 years before I need another one.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

Congrats, Souschef! Glad to hear you can keep making your Angel Flights.


I'm trying to make my head stop spinning. Spent a few hours online checking out signing up for Medicare. So much government speak! I'll just call my current medical insurance provider and talk to a medicare specialist. The conversation should be brief - since Himself is happy with his plan, I'll just say "I'll take what he has".

 

[Andy M.]

CG, A&B supplements are pretty standard across companies. There are differences in the Rx coverage which is extra. Look for ins. co. Websites that let you price out your Rx to see which plan is best for you.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

Thanks, Andy. I'm fortunate in that I don't have to worry about expensive meds. Two cheap maintenance meds, even if I were to absorb the entire cost with no insurance. After checking with Himself, it sounds like his plan will be very good coverage for me, too. Even though he is on more meds for more conditions than anyone should be, and has routine bloodwork, I don't have to write checks for out of pocket costs. His is a mid-level silver plan. Besides, after paying over $500. a month for my insurance premium through the health connector, even the best Platinum plan is looking pretty cheap to me.

Rx aside, I haven't paid a cent for medical care since I went on medicare with the A&B supplements.

^ Like. Many congrats, Souschef!

Thanks for the info, Dawg! Why can't they just keep the familiar packaging colors I'm used to seeing. The noive.

Indeed! I circled round and round in the cosmetic/pharm aisles searching for the familiar blue facewipe box. Thankfully that gave DH time to peruse the men's clothing dept.

The reviews are mixed. Many say it's totally different, others say it's the same. We shall see.

I stripped the carcass of the roasted chicken. Good grief! There is a lot of meat there. We will make just enough chicken salad for two and I will break up the rest in small packets. Each packet will make two salad sandwiches.

I have to remember that with the additions of celery, mayonnaise and onions to make each packet just a wee bit smaller. Neither one of us eats more than one sandwich at a sitting.

 

[Addie]

Spike brought me a good size package of Liverwurst ends. They don't show up too often. I guess it is not one of the bigger sellers like Mortadella. I love it and will have a half sandwich tonight for my evening meal.

I know, I am one of those weird folks that love liver. Along with any other products made from it.
