About gDonna The photo is my son and myself. Now days you can get a photo made to look old like this one. This photo was taken when this was the new look.
Harry S Truman was president when I was born and world war II had ended. I grew up in a time when lunch was put in a brown paper bag and a sandwich was wrapped with wax paper. There was no such thing as pantyhose, we wore stockings that attached to the rubbery clippy things that attached to the girdle.

I live in a rural regional area of Australia and am moving house across town. Today I discovered that I am only able to use one retailer for my gas supply. This means that I have no choice and cannot look for better plans. This is the first time in 28 moves in 28 years that I have had this happen and your article prompted me to think that this is one of those 'creeping', insidious ways where we are being forced to pay more. My 8 year old granddaughter asked me why I had the soap scraps in a little mesh bag to wash with - she really had no idea why. So I explained and she understood as she said that we have to take care of our world. They do teach her that at her small country school. Maybe being connected to the land more closely is part of that. The envelope system is what I used to get us out of credit card debt 15 years ago and my children have never forgotten it. My daughter now uses the same but I admit that I have become lazier and not being as mindful with spending as I could. I appreciate all your suggestions and posts. Hello from Australia!
