Verizon...

       It would be so amazing and convenient to actually have cell service in my area. I haven't upgraded my phone in so long I bet the newer stuff is lightyears beyond my 5C. Yes, it still works just fine. It is blue in color and fits perfectly in the palm of my hand. Upgrading now seems almost ridiculous. My motto is, "if it works why fix it or replace it?"  We still have the traditional land line too. Verizon needs to get with the game and upgrade their towers. I've had a cell phone for over thirty years and have never had service at home. Not that I need it, but it would be an extra layer of protection. It takes our local small sheriff office more than 40 minutes to respond to our house. 

       Discount?  You would think they would give customers like me some sort of discount, but sadly no. They suggest we use wifi calling, but then again we don't really access to this either. Wild Blue satellite internet is over priced and often doesn't work. Our local "high speed" also doesn't reach our home. We are in a very remote area. Power you say? Yes we have electricity, but it usually goes out for days at a time. There is always a price to pay to avoid people.

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
