A wet book, if it hasn’t soaked for a long time, can be rescued fairly well by being placed in a freezer. Once frozen, the ice crystals can just be brushed off the pages. Next time you accidentally drop a book in the tub or leave one out in the rain, pop it in the freezer for a couple of hours. If it hasn’t been too thoroughly soaked you may not have any signs of water damage at all. Sometimes the pages remain somewhat wavy or wrinkled.
No, just kidding. I understand where she is coming from. My grandparents were also young parents during the depression (my mum was born in 1934 and my dad in 1928) and my maternal grandfather had what you guys would call a homestead and was pretty much self-sufficient. My mum washed out and reused plastic bags for years, etc.
TBH, I was kind of glad I could move to the city and pig out on croissants and lattes when I got the chance. Pretty sure they were appalled at my profligacy. Things go full circle I guess, if you give it enough time. Slowly I'm coming back to what my grandparents taught me, but with a ton of other riches to boot, stuff that would probably make their toes curl.
I need to do better myself in this regard which means the less you hear from regarding things that do not involve music, the better. Good news for most of you as well.
even tho i may not agree with your opinion/thoughts on certain subjects i'd still like to hear them

I very early on identified and reacted to cell phones the same way as I did as a teenager to cigarettes. I was aware enough of the potential, very strong addictive qualities and overall negative impact to ones life of these products to not engage from the get go. I do have a cell phone that I keep in my vehicle when traveling, I am full aware of the benefits of the talking stone in the right circumstance, but I have always been completely free of the yoke that encumbers so many:
Sometimes going outside and getting some fresh air is good for the soul. Opening a window and crying out I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore is too but I digress.
