I used to make a recipe called’Block Party Beans’. It’s basically a sweet chili recipe with a lot of green beans, yellow beans, and ground beef with brown sugar. I used to can it, before I knew better. I’m only using safe recipes now.

My question is, are there and meals in a jar that are other than chili or soup? Any you have tried and tested? I can’t eat onions, so I don’t include them.

I’ve found a few in the books, but nothing very interesting or appealing for my husband.

If you have tried the beef stew, how does the meat get tender? I’m afraid it will be tough.

We had a King sized bed. Not because WE needed the space, but the dogs do. I have 2 German shepherds.

Now that I’m on the floor, I look up at the dogs on the bed. They were like oh, no! What did you do to get kicked to the floor??? I patted the dog bed next to me, and they were like _no way!_

We were dog sitting for our friends’ Lab. She felt so sorry for me, she slept with me, even though she LOVES being on the bed and isn’t allowed at home. What a sweetie pie Lab, ‘consoling’ me on the floor.

For those of you who have any sort of futon, do you put a cover on it? Does it affect the way you sleep?

I see people with futons, but no sheets or blankets. I have my own favorite blankets, but I feel weird without a sheet on the bottom.

I have an old duvet that I was thinking of cutting down so it would fit. Would that be okay?

I’m to the point where my husband doesn’t get to go out much, because I can’t walk without pain.

When did you decide to get a wheelchair, and under what circumstances? I’m 67F with back pain that can affect my wellbeing, and thus my CRPS.

Does anyone know of an inexpensive maker of futons that are XLtwin? I’m tall and I have dogs that sleep with me.

I just started floor sleeping 6 days ago and I’m convinced. Does everyone’s spouse also floor sleep?

We had a spiffy king, but it was too awkward for me to have a floor space. We put our guest room double in our room, but it’s too tight.

We think we might do 1 twin for him, but he wants to build a wooden box platform for me to sleep on. He wants me to be ‘up’ by him. And, as a 67F, I have to climb up from the floor, and he thinks it would be easier on me.

TLDR; Where does your spouse sleep? Would it be the same experience on a wooden box? Or are there frames? Or does that blow the whole experience?

I’m so bummed. I found out that every community I checked in my area has outlawed dumpster diving. As in no kidding, there are laws.

Now what? Do you still try or do you abide by the law?

Did you know that there is a Stony Creek exit on the Ohio Turnpike? Neither did I! And the exit number? 420. And I’m not even kidding.
