Consider putting together some cold cuts, good bread And live on some sandwiches. If you have simple cooking I have the recipes. cook enough for two meals. Go to Sam's get a rotesierire chicken for $5 & have four meals....
In the sixth month of 2013 the average price of gold was $1,389 per ounce. Today the price on the spot market, per Kitco, In the middle part of last month the price was around $3,380, a difference of $1,991, about 1.4 times the 2013 price. I suspect that the retailers are narrowing their profit margin on food items and keeping their profit margin on drinks as is tradition in retail food sales.
It is good to learn to swim. Uptown at 3030 Broadway in New York city is a gym named after Marcellus Hartley Dodge. When I was a freshman at Columbia they told me that Dodge had made a restricted donation which Columbia accepted to build the gym, name it after him, and include a large swimming pool (75 yards long it was) provided that every entering freshman would be tested to see if they could swim, and required to take swimming before graduation if they could not. It seems that Dodge lost family members and friends on the RMS Titanic. I aced the test and took fencing.
There is another sort of fencing that I've done involving barbed wire. It is one of the many less-than-skilled types of labour where work is often available in rural areas. For skilled trades, I often suggest locksmithing and welding, as there is always a need for these. Just last night three men were busy working to get into a locked car that one had left the keys within near where I'm staying. Of course, welding tools aren't so heavy if someone else is providing the gas and power. Locksmith tools fit in a small case or tote.
As always, these updates are very welcome and helpful. Thanks.
More and more people are dining at home, out of necessity. As a woman; I thought that in my later years, (after raising a son and cooking for many years), I could get free of it all, and get take out, dine out, and enjoy! Not so fast. In California, the cost of a sandwich has gone up to $13 to $15 dollars, and here in the cheaper Midwest...probably $11.99 for a simple hamburger, with no fries. An actual meal (pasta with bread, and no salad) is $18 dollars or more. Twenty dollar pizzas are the norm if ordered with everything on them. If this gets worse, it is back to olden times, when women baked their own bread for the family, and steak was what you ate on Sunday, now and then for a treat. I do not know how a family of 4 survives at all. If liquor is bought at a cheap restaurant; it is $9 dollars for a half glass of garbage wine
Anyway, this was a good read, and you are a good writer,..... getting better all the time. Stay happy.
