Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Something that I have found helpful is writing lists of things that need doing and checking them off when done so at the end of the day I know what I got done. Sometimes I would be driving away from the house I was not sure if I had closed the garage door so I would drive back and check. I solve that and other issues by taking a mental picture of the door closing and stopping at the bottom. When I have misplaced something or trying to remember a name or object I clear my mind and relax and it pops right in (the issue as long as I am forced to remember it stays out on the edge.) Having worked in facility maintenance for many years I have learned the ability to do many tasks and jobs in whole or in pieces (start a job and go back to it) There is the argument that we are not meant to multi-task but I don't buy that belief as our brain is resilient when we keep it active and use it. I have found in the past I could keep about 16 things afloat in my mind but once a new item loaded the last item dropped off the chart so that is how my lists came into being. Hope some of this helps.
Many places will give a cash, or debit card discount some it is 3 to 5 % because they have to pay it. I don't like paying taxes and would rather that the price on the shelf reflected the total cost and it would not bother me as much. Most places do that by adding whatever the cost of credit card use is. When someone pays cash, check, or debit card they make an additional 3-5%. Credit card companies can charge a yearly fee for using their card or hope that you pay the minimum amount so they make interest. Most of my tips are when on the rare occasion I eat out and give in cash to the individual not on a credit card. As far as dog grooming I bought the industry-style clippers, and learnd how to do the job. That paid for the clippers and scissors in a short time.
As a kid, I had a paper route and a height of 200 papers to deliver on a bike. The once-a-month collection of money was always a challenge. I still, read a local paper but many are online now. As a kid, there was a five-and-dime store with a soda fountain.

Belongs in Attic
I am curious why you believed my topic belonged in the Attic? What part of the topic was a complaint or rant?
I had an advisory topic from a legit website and wanted to comment. I had never heard of the Attic and read,
"Where we put stuff we don't want our guests to see. Complaints and rants about topics moved The Attic will also be moved to The Attic." The topic that I put in the general chit-chat was neither a complaint nor a rant and reading what is in the Attic I don't see a need to visit this topic.
I found this interesting article on the National Institue of Justice website
https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/understanding-domestic-radicalization-and-terrorism Part of the article, "What makes this issue complex is that in the United States, terrorist acts are carried out by people who are motivated by a wide variety of ideological viewpoints, who have gone through different radicalization processes, and who have unique grievances or life experiences that lead them toward radicalization to terrorism. This, in turn, makes it difficult to target prevention and intervention efforts toward any one “vulnerable” population. Radicalization to terrorism can be motivated by extremist groups/ideologies, or it can occur at an individual level (commonly referred to as “lone wolf terrorism”). In the United States, terrorists are usually associated with one of the six most commonly known ideologies: right-wing extremism, left-wing extremism, environmental extremism, nationalist/separatist extremism, religious extremism, and single-issue extremism.[3] Further, the nature of radicalization and types of extremist attacks are dynamic, changing from year to year and from decade to decade.[4]"
Thankfully most people are peaceful and find nonviolent means to deal with issues and those with mental health issues often don't see a problem or want help even if it were available.
Sam,

I back Americans and their having choice and control of their country. I don't support any social construct that takes away the power of the people to have choice and control, so no I don't support or back communism.
