It only depends on the level that was chosen, not how many levels an enchantment has, so Infinity will cost as much as Protection I or Sharpness I. However, Mending does cost twice as much since it is a treasure enchantment, but that is the only difference.
Another thing to note is that enchantments with fewer levels are more likely to be obtained at their maximum level; the game first chooses an enchantment at random with a uniform probability of any enchantment, then it chooses a random level, which is always 1 for enchantments like infinity and Mending while Sharpness has 5 levels, so there is a 20% chance of each level, making Sharpness V 5 times rarer than Infinity (but any level of Sharpness is just as likely). This is also true of books found in dungeons and other structures, and is reflected by the number of each enchantment I've collected while caving (these rules also apply to 1.6), where I have many more Infinity books than Sharpness V, including books made by combining lower level books.

As long as I can still see to use a computer. 80 years old now so may have a few more years. Been playing for a couple of decades so why stop now.

Always chop them manually.
Preferred trees for large harvests, as for making a large charcoal batch, are beech as they don't branch and when raised from seedlings are never too tall to reach all from the ground, I plant on a 2X2 grid and it's fast going.
For cutting the 2X2 trees like Dark Oak and Jungle, I stand against them, and pillar up to the top with dirt. I then stand in the top of the tree and chop myself down to the ground, layer by layer, downing the dirt pillar also as I go. No problem at all..

Couldn't find a Bee nest so I decided to try and take advantage of a feature listed in the WIKI. To paraphrase ...
A Bee nest may occur at 5% probability when certain tree seedlings are grown near flowers.
I planted a row of flowers and started growing Birch seedlings spaced 2 blocks away from them. As soon as a tree grew if it did not have a nest, I cut it down and replanted. In 10 minutes time I had produced 3 Bee nests, and had a lot of birch logs and sticks as a bonus.
Sure beat traipsing around all over the map searching for them.

I've always thought that Oak trees were overly generous with seedlings, but Cherry trees seem to be even more so. From cutting down one Cherry tree, I got 15 seedlings. Maybe I should think about a Cherry Festival like in DC.
The falling petals remind me of one time I was in Woodbury, NJ as the Kanzan cherry trees they have lining the streets were dropping petals. Looked like about 1 inch of pink snow on all the sidewalks.

I'm just short of 79 years old and have been playing for years. I play with my 42 year old son and my 18 year old granddaughter. Age?? Why should it matter?

In most of my worlds (latest one included) all my really long-distance travel ends up being by a rail setup in the nether roof.
After I first enter the nether, I rapidly build a tower from that first portal to the sky and bore into the overhead up to about 120, from there I tunnel at that height to maike portals coincident with portals at all important points in overworld and have a rail network between all points. Whenever I find a new area of interest, I build a potral there, and tnen go back to nether via closest portal, tunnel over to the equivalent coords, and build a portal there. Then just add the rail lines.
Just started a 1.18 world and only have 5 sets of portals in it yet, but in my last world, I had over 50 pairs and about 4k rail connecting them.

I've got a MOB farm floating way up at 190 level, which can only be reached by portal from the nether. One time while I was on the roof of it, up at about 252, adjusting the flush timing, one of the traders spawned up there on the roof with me

I almost never use creative mode.
Most often when I go to creative its just to try out a new redstone device idea or get some measurements for a new build I'm thinking about. I never actually play a lot there.

The dimensions I just cited for my typical bui;d means that above 64 blocks you will hit world ceiling. I suppose one could make a gigantic spawn platform and get over 64 blocks away in the X or Z direction but I can't think why anyone would want to

Sounds like the DIM-1 file in your world save got corrupted and the game replaced it. You can wipe out all changes since the world started if this happens. The DIM-1 file is the nether map and the DIM1 file is the map of the end.
Some players, for example, remove the DIM1 file on purpose so the game replaces it to allow fighting the dragon again. I suggest destroying your overworld portals and rebuilding them. This should give you back the netherside portals.
