Well, when I budget the time to dig out all the pans, tools and ingredients
Ill need  and the time to clean up the mess it's a lot easier if not as
tqsty to do the store bought.

That's sad. My grandmother pretty much "lost it" her last year. She missed
bein 100 by just a few days. But it was a relief when she did go. I hope 
something takes me before I get in that situation. My pulmonologist was 
hectoring me about my refusal to use a BiPap when sleeping. "You could
die in your sleep" he argued. 

"Doc, I'm 82. That's my preferred way to go." I returned.

Something else you can do while you sleep .... (no, not that)
