6. Always ask about military discount when you shop.

My husband gets one from Lowe’s, a local hardware store, and one of his favorite guitar and accessories stores online, among others. All he had to do was email a copy of his DD214 to a verification agent the companies use. Some stores it’s good on any purchase, some it’s just on “selected items” but every little bit helps.

He says always ask for a senior discount, too. He says he is sometimes not as old as he thinks he is, depending on the vendor.😉 Almost 70 should always qualify if you ask me, but they didn’t ask me. 🤦🏽‍♀️. Some vendors will stack military and senior discounts.

Siwsan and the Kitcats: The Saga continues. And I’m so glad it does.

I’ve been titrating down on a prescription antidepressant. In just a couple of months I’m down to 5 mg from 20mg. So far so good. I may get all the way off, and I’ve been on them since the 80s, where I started out at 80 mg after I got T-boned by a drunk driver on the highway. Recovery from that was intense.

DU and you and your four foots get some credit for this decision to wean off the Rx. Total knee replacement late last August helps, too. Retirement and getting out of FloraBama has also been quite restorative.
