I spent $1.31 including tax at Dollar Tree. I'm such a spendthrift!

Then spent another $5.22 including tax for little individual servings of tuna and crackers and chicken and crackers for the homeless man who sleeps in the shade around the corner of the store. So there went $6.43 of my $20 windfall from Kaiser.

DD spent some $ for a few snacks, individual servings of fruit packed in syrup, a protein drink and two cold drinks to put in the sack for the homeless man. He was sleeping so I just left his food/drinks for him.

She bought some Hallowe'en decorations and six more pair of readers because the six pair she had were no longer strong enough. Her total including the stuff for the homeless man? $52!!!

Am about to buy more cameras (a couple are replacements for some that stopped working after a power outage). What chaps my hide is that I now need to pay a monthly subscription to review videos. The cameras are inexpensive but my total bill for cloud service will be $216/year.

This is like inkjet printers where they practically give you the printer then charge a fortune for the ink.

Back in the 1960s, I heard my uncle say, "I've got $1 in my pocket and ten people trying get me to part with it." Nowadays they not only want that dollar, they want to set it up so they get another one every month.

Congrats on the new car! Did you get an automatic? Thinking about how beat up you are right now an automatic would be easier for you to get back on the road as you recover. I know how Europeans love manual transmissions so just curious.

No.... I don't like automatics.. so I bought a manual.... ..the car above isn't the car I bought it's just the same year and model, my car is a different colour, I just didn't want to post the exact car on here... .. but no I find automatics much less responsive than manuals...,, and remember tho' my injuries are almost all entirely on my right side.. arm, hand, ribs..etc... and the gearstick is on my left... :sneaky::D

this is so true... where printers and ink are concerned the cost of the ink has made the actual rinters almost disposable
