Oh, God! Why are you reading this?

I want to get a new TV console. There's one I like, but it costs $899. Guess what, there's a huge sale at the furniture store for Labor Day.
On their website, they have a clock ticking away till the sale ends. They slashed price by at least 10%. The console was $899, but the new price is $999, but it's on sale for $899- WOW!! 10% Off!!!
Kind of puts used car dealerships to shame.
 

My lawyer said prepaying for cremation was the way to go, so I've been checking out local hot oven shops. And I came across something I hadn't figured on- my obituary. Now, you can write your own obit. What would I put down? I guess I should mention my Olympic Gold Medals, and the time I was knighted by the Pope and QE2. Probably should mention I started Microsoft, and Apple too. Of course, in my 20s, I played pro football as a quarterback, and broke Babe Ruth's batting average when I played pro-baseball. Come on, who fact checks obituaries?;)
 
I'm truly amazed at the kindness of people. Shopping, yesterday, I used one of those electric shopping carts, and people were so helpful. Women usually are, but lots of men wanted to help, too. That led to a conclusion. It's either people are generally warm hearted and filled with brotherly love, or I really must look like hell.

Some grocery stores will give "points" for the amount you spend, and if you get enough points you get 20 cents off something you'd never buy. At the check out, a lady was 6 points away from getting 20 cents off some bananas. The clerk couldn't give her the discount, so we had to get the manger thing. No deal. Then the lady wondered if she got 3 oranges instead of two would that put her over the 6 points. No. So, we began going through her order trying to find 6 points, but not spending any money to get the points. I had all my stuff on the counter and there was a huge line now behind me. I think the Supreme Court would agree it would be perfectly legal to strangle her.
 
That lady, yesterday, who held up the line to try to get 20 cents off her bananas irked me. She tried to bully the clerk into getting her discount. Then she tried it with the manager. It became a "thing" with her- she was determined to get 20 cents off her bananas. She was screwing around and holding the long line of customers hostage till she got it. I was happy the manager didn't budge, and reward her. Then she'd go to her car and come back in wanting her 20 cents off bananas she now refused to buy. And she knew she didn't have enough 'points' to get the discount. Plus, she & her husband had a large order, so it wasn't like she needed the 20 cents off to stave off starvation.

It’s just that some people seem insane over their worship of money. … there is no help for them
 
I finally lost 20 lbs. Now, my pants fall down, so I need new ones. I went pants shopping, yesterday. In the store there's only "slim fit" and "tapered" pants. I don't have a "slim fit" nor "tapered" body. And you want to tell me how pants the size of XXXL can be a "slim fit" ? Right now "tapered" is a fad, it's like the 70s bell bottoms. I don't want to be a geezer in the home wearing out of date pants.

Every year I go to the local fair- the West End Fair. They usually have a stand with really hot sausage subs. It's my tradition to chow down on one at the fair. I'm looking forward to the fair, so I checked out the dates. OMG!!!! It was last month. I don't know why time seems to fly by now, and when I was a kid, time just dragged along. I was 5, then 5 and 1/2. 6 seemed decades away. Now, I have nieces and nephews in their 50s, when did that happen?
I'm thinking of getting a new TV console, so I went to the furniture store last night. There's one I wanted to check out. The price is $899, but now it's "on sale" for only $899 😡 I got one of those salesmen, who is way too eager for a sale. He kept following me around the store.

TA DA, I'm getting ready to make the final lawn mowing of 2025. In order to have a proper celebration, I'll mow the lawn, tomorrow. Maybe.
My will is coming along. You'd think this would be a morbid topic, but somehow, it's rather comforting getting it done. One thing, though, my kid brother (70), my heir, seems a little too eager to pull the plug on me.
I'm going for some lab tests. If you just walked in ,you have to go to the front desk and answer a million questions. I answered them on line, and guess what- I have to go the front desk and answer the same million questions.
