What are you doing right now?

I love it!
Years ago my wife and SD went through all the legal steps, and it was expensive, but doable.
More recently, my nephew married an "undocumented" person a few years ago. This past year they finally got scared and took family's advice and went to Immigration. They had her do the paperwork, get the birth certificate, foreign legal background check, get them translated, and pay the fees. They called her in and said if she self deported they would make a appointment at the US Embassy in Honduras to plead her case. The two of them went and two weeks after the appointment she had a green card and returned.
So all this it's too hard and we're cruel falls on deaf ears with me. The current administration granted her a green card because she did what they told her to do.
My ancestors came to VA in 1623.
 
Just sucked down another...

Just got the last dog walks in until probably Monday. Generally 20 degrees F is my cut off, especially if the wind chill is bad. Don’t want the dogs to get frost bite on their ears or anything. In for some extreme cold here, although not as bad as I have seen. Wind chills as low as about -35F and Friday won’t even see positive temperatures.

Great post
 
We are doing DoorDash orders. I tell you what I might have to start going to bars cause there’s no shortage of hotties there lol.

We also had a very satisfying deodorant discussion today that me and another coworker started when we gave our coworker with the last nice Tice another nickname and started calling him Ole Old Spice Tice and that quickly escalated to my coworker going around asking everyone their preferred deodorant and if they were a stick or spray type of guy. I bought him lunch for doing that cause it was great. Old Spice is the winner in my shop and Dove for Men was second. Lady boss says she likes Dove and Native the best but wears whatever.
 
Got home from Costco. Lots of dummies getting their shopping done and buying gas before the storm, including me. Still don't understand why people think Costco is so special. Wife is a health nut and we don't buy much there food.

Better deals, and cheaper gas ... who doesn't want to save money.

Time is money. If there is one thing I'd like to have, it's more time. Even being retired, there is never enough time in the day for everything I/we want to do.

I refuse to wait in long lines to buy gas, or groceries. Any possible savings is not worth it to us. Yes, I have had Costco memberships in the past.

Some people go when it's not so much a mad-house ... same with anyplace that has a membership discount fuel and lines. People adjust, or not, if something makes saving money worthwhile to them. Send the wife in to start shopping while the hubby go fills up is another strategy.

I’m lucky that the Costco that is two minutes away from my girlfriends place never has a long wait for the gas station, even though I’m usually getting gas there on Saturday or Sunday afternoon (the price is always lower in the later part of the day) Most of the time I can pull right up to a pump with no wait. And 99% of the time it is the lowest price around. And it has the highest level of detergents of any other station in its 87 octane and its premium has almost as much detergents as Shell V Power 93. With me doing about 25k worth of driving in my Civic per year I easily save hundreds of dollars on gas.

A Costco membership actually cost us more money to feed and supply a family of 6 than shopping at Aldi and Walmart Market for food and household supplies. I did a year’s worth of expense spreadsheets shopping at Costco and compared that to all the other years we had shopped elsewhere. It isn’t the screaming deal people think it is, they are just blinded by the bulk purchase sizes.

Like your wife, we eat significantly healthier than a sizeable portion of the population does and the food quality just isn’t what we hoped for (like the bag of frozen “chicken breasts” that were more like pounded out excuses for them). We don’t buy food in boxes and the only frozen foods we buy are vegetables.
