Harry Tarklar and the Thrifty Hallows

I need my husband home to give me a massage.

Also, poor UPS man is about to deal with a package explosion at my back door. I ordered some stuff a while ago with the saver shipping to get the $1 credit (not enough IMO) and they all decided to come on the day that I ordered some stuff for our bathroom reno.

I swear I don't have a shopping addiction Mr. UPS man, but there are literally no stores around here to buy that stuff.

Hey Steve-O - any issues with the boat since there be snow? Baby in dry-dock? or something else?

There was a car fire on my block. It's like Ferguson here man.....

It probably wasn't Fook-inspired,

but,

was it a Fook that actually lit it off ?

1- if he can get autopay, he can get his own credit card.

2- why should I set up autopay for his balance? I don't use this credit card. I have no CC balance so interest rates don't bother me (Tho I doubt 3 days late will change anything on any of my cards), it's just annoying tho....I enjoy having credit power to wield. I don't want it tarnished.

2 - to protect your credit rating. it's your account, your credit rating. Not his.

if it was his account, his name, well, you'd be having a different convo. Sure, yer trying to be the nice guy, but hey.

A Ding in yer credit file only makes you grumpy, ya? But it'll be 4 seasons o grumpy. Who wants that?

The Secret Life Of Nola Mitty

I like this one, add to the end [complete with knitting needles and 3 etsy awards]

i don't know why i'm so frustrated. maybe because we had plans, we were going to go out together. but suddenly he was stopping by a bar to meet his friend. and suddenly they were going to be at the bar for "a little bit longer". then suddenly he was going to stay over. then suddenly all our plans went poof. oh well.

we still have one more weekend day. so maybe what i need to do is just forget this happened last night and push our yesterday plans to today. yep.

[snip]

How was it, those plans? any news? or bail needed?

Hey Steve-O - any issues with the boat since there be snow? Baby in dry-dock? or something else?

She's 6 and a half tons. No dry docking. She'll have to weather it out. I'll get down there to get the snow off when I get a chance. hopefully the bilge pumps didn't freeze over. At any rate, she's fully insured.

That's in Bay Ridge, not far from me. They place has turned into little lebanon...

It probably wasn't Fook-inspired,

but,

was it a Fook that actually lit it off ?

my neighbor thinks 3 mexicans did it. It's stolen from a Korean guy in Delaware.

you haven't met my husband lol. after work is computer time, either a game of Go or working on his writing. for some reason both require a constant supply of food next to him. he gets very stressed if he has to leave the house on his "downtime".

so an all-night boozer with a friend stressed him out even more? Man, that sucks !

right, because leaving my husband alone at home, without food, to go out with someone else, also taking that food with me, is a good way to keep our marriage alive...

mmhm.

darnell, i think you've been doing too much gardening, that texas heat is getting to you

But what about an unplanned but all night outside boozer with a friend, never coming by to bring you along ? Just asking, since you refuse to finish up the driving license thing, keeping a perfectly good car 'at the ready' ..

tempus fugit.

and hey - don't knock my gardening. it's fun, specially when yer an old geezer !

he has like a 600 dollar balance. I dunno why he doesn't pay it off. Is he that broke? (may be). But I monitor it, if he doesn't pay by the 19th, I'll pay the minimum for him. I missed it this time. It shouldn't have any recourse, it's only 2 days late.

Outta nowhere, I got a craving for smoked salmon...

Maybe can get some via the underground Jenny Pipeline, nearby ?

So, fat guy dug himself a hole. He's gotta backtrack on a few things. But now his pets won't be happy. The one that had to be hunted down yesterday, excused herself to go to the bathroom.

I kinda took that as sarcasm. My boss was there, I haven't had a chance to speak to him about that as we were both rushing to leave.

I'll sit on it for a few days and see how we feel about this.....

so, was it a hole lined with horse manure or lime?

I'm hoping lime or potash, aye?

I already got some, ate it with a steak and a bottle of Kendall Jackson grand reserve......
