TALKING MONEY NOW AND IN THE FUTURE


So this is my food shopping bill for the month. I cashed in to say the least. Most things where on sale and I saved about $40. This is good being I was $98 on my overdraft last month as it was the holiday season and I went over the top nuts having fun.

I also managed to go from 6800 points to 23600 points in this session. There where a LOT of bonus points.

To top it off the bottle of booze I wanted for New Years Eve was on sale and I had $20 in airmiles I could use - so a 40 of Rye was only $16.04 after taxes. Trust me where I live this is a GREAT deal for a 40.

Being I was so on my overdraft I only had about $100 left in the account after bills, rent and food. This was 80$ spent on a bit of fun and a couple more movies I ordered and 3 bottles of hemp oil.

Not to worry, I knew this was going to happen and it was the plan. I also am getting $180.25 on Friday for the GST rebate (sales tax rebate). So ya know it's all good.

Now I need a medical device called a binder. This might end up around $100 if it is not covered - but even with that, I'll have about $80 left for the month for fun money - so it's all good.

If the binder is covered I'm going to order a second charging bank for the phone. This way if I am out of town (unlikely) or there is no power for a long time - I can charge the phone. The new one is the same size as my old one and they will both charge the phone about 5 1/2 times - so I'll be good for several days this way.

The only other thing in my wish list right now is ink for the printer but I won't be needing any until my next GST (3 months from now) - so it's all god.

I have been toying with the idea of faster internet, but I literally don't need the faster download speed. The thing I want is faster upload speed and an increase of 5mb/s is really not worth $10 to me so the hell with that. Now if it was 15 - I'd do it. But 5 is not enough of a change to warrant the money.

The only other money thing I have changed is getting Amazon prime. This is more than covered by the $20 change in my cell phone plan. I went from 5gb to 1gb and got rid of the unlimited long distance plan. I have not gone over 1gb in my life - not even when I moved and had no internet for 3 days and uploaded video every day on my data plan.

Future changes will be dropping cable when my contract expires. May 27, 2019 I stop having to pay for cable and will drop it after that. The disconect fee is out of this world of I'd do it sooner. After that I'll continue to have Netflix and Prime Video - I will also add in Crave TV that has a bunch of HBO content. I'll get a Fire Stick Classic (1080p) to stream with and it will be $90 less a month. I can use that money for other things to say the least.

The only thing I want to get this month I have not bought yet is deodorant - if I see it on sale I'll get 3 of them. I have one I'm using now and 1 extra so I don't need them but it's extra money month - so I stock up. I also have enough toilet paper in for the next 3 months I think - so It's all good.

Anyway that's it for this. Have a good one eh.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns
