For those of you in your 70's, please use this forum to

talk about everyday problems, financial matters, recommended healthy recipes,

things you enjoy doing, or whatever

you think would be good. It's like a well-wisher's meeting.

Why don't you tweet about it?

Please don't be sarcastic or cold-hearted.

Yesterday a piece of buried sprinkler PVC pipe leaked and I had to fix it.

I was so exhausted from all the digging and stuff that I took a nap and had a good night's sleep.

I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep at night after my nap, but then I fell asleep again.



Costco gas station always has a long line, so

I got up at 6:00 this morning to go fill up, and there is always a long line

only 3 cars at 8 pumps. Regular is also down a lot $ 3.899.

Costco has a large parking lot and there is room for EV charging, but

I guess management is not ready to do that yet.

There is a planned Nijya site on the north side of the Costco I frequent, across the railroad tracks,

and EV charging facilities are already in that parking lot.

Soapy water works well to repel insects. I try to use soap with as few additives （ fragrances, etc. ） as possible.

1. Choose a clean spray bottle or sprayer for your mixture.
2. Mix 1 tablespoon of soap per quart of water, or 4 to 5 tablespoons of soap Make sure to evenly coat infected plants, from top to bottom, for best results. The soap-spray has to come in contact with the insects for it to work.

Round-trip ticket price to Japan

Which airline do you all buy your tickets to Japan from ？ I checked with the Japanese airlines, but Expedia is more than $300 cheaper. （ Ticket changes are not allowed ）
But since I have only ever purchased from Japanese airlines, I am worried about problems and reliability.　
But nowadays, all tickets are e-tickets and payment is made by credit card and online, so I wonder if the credibility is the same
.

You should check the terms and conditions as Expedia, Orbitz, etc. may have rates that say 1 piece （ 50lb ） free checked baggage and ＄ 200 ／ additional baggage cost.

I also use Expedia to purchase airline tickets all the time.
A while ago, I had to cancel a domestic trip due to a family member's sudden illness.
I was able to use the chat function to process the cancellation and everything else without having to call customer service.
Although it was a chat function, the person who responded to me was also very nice.

I've never seen expiration dates on vegetables. There's no way they label each and every potato or onion with an expiration date.　What are you talking about? ？

Are you talking about the eggplants and cucumbers in plastic containers that are wrapped and sold? ？

People usually judge vegetables and fruits by their appearance.

Wage inflation is Wage inflation.
Wage inflation is not stopping because there is labor shortage everywhere.
Even if you raise wages and recruit, you can't attract people.
Wage inflation is most pernicious because once it goes up, it can no longer go down.
Chairman Powell has said he will not turn to cutting interest rates until this rise is stopped.

I'm impressed👍🎶
I explored today and saw that "Kill Bill 2" has many Japanese actors who are active in Japan. I was too busy raising my kids 18 years ago to watch action movies.
I'm a fan now and back to feeling like a young high school student 🙄.

I don't know the details, but
if you are still living in the same building
since 1979 under Rent Control, you would be eligible.

If you move out of a place that is subject to Rent Control,
the room would be out of Rent Control and
the landlord would set the regular rent.
