August,

 AA> Are these payments from square dance members? If so, why not make the
 AA> announcements during a dance event?  Maybe even design a call that
 AA> gives instructions:

 AA> Grab yer partner, doe see doe
 AA> I'll tell ya where the cheques should go..

  Yes, they are. I did amateur calling several years ago, and it's not
as easy as it looks.

 AA> The members are dancers, not readers! LOL.

  It would seem that way. It was as if "why don't you shut up, and
adjourn the meeting, so we can get back to dancing??".

 AA> Definitely not a good time to plan a trip of any kind by any mode of
 AA> travel right now.

  That's why I've basically given up on travel outside of central Arkansas.

 AA> How do your neighbor's cope when the power goes out?

  I have no clue. Depending on the time of year, I can put on more covers
if it gets too cool. But, the refrigerator/freezer can't be without power
for long periods of time, or the food goes bad.

 AA> Lean not on thine own understanding.  ;)  It is interesting that Trump
 AA> has now contracted the virus.

  It has really messed up the markets...investors hate uncertainty.

 AA> Yep.. 3:10a is pretty early!  Hopefully your stress/insomnia is
 AA> temporary.

  Sleep and I have a loving relationship. But, N. Somnia, and L. Armclock
are trying to break us up -- the jealous females!! <G>

 AA> I thought debit card was a poorer choice for making payments vs credit
 AA> card.  Debit is treated like cash. Once it is gone out of your account,
 AA> it's gone.  Whereas with credit card the amount is in process for
 AA> atleast the pay period and can be reversed or challenged more easily.

  I don't get enough with disability to have a credit card, and I've been
through Chapter 13 Bankruptcy before. I don't want to go down that road
again.

 AA> The other cooked half can store in the fridge for a few days. Fresh
 AA> yams store well, and are pretty cheap imho.

  Well, the yams and sweet potatoes have oxylates, which cause kidney stones.
So, anything that may cause such, is avoided.

 AA> Hopefully for healthier groceries.  ;)

  But, they charge through the nose and out the wazoo for them.

 AA> Today, an egg + 1/2 avocado + 1/2 banana takes me through the morning
 AA> for 5 hours before I even *think* of anything else to eat.

  Not much for avocadoes...but bananas do have potassium. Those pills are
"huge horse pills", and I have to get them cut up to take them, or I could
choke.

 AA> Cereals are empty carbs.  And noone has just the labeled quantity of "1
 AA> serving" of that stuff + milk + other add ons.

  Never mind the stuff settled during shipping and handling.

 AA> An egg + avocado + a couple spoons of peanut butter are a better low
 AA> carbs + protein choice than a bowl of cereal.  I have about two
 AA> servings of unsalted almonds and cashews in the early afternoon - they
 AA> are fine sources of natural fat energy for the body.

  Peanut butter and chocolate are 2 other "no-no's". Arkansas and Tennessee
have more kidney stones than anywhere else...likely due to the limestone in
the water. I'm avoiding sodas as much as possible. I'm just drinking flavored
water now...the regular water is too bland for me.

.... How do self addressed stamped envelopes do such??
