LAUNDRY, DRINKS, AND SAVING A FEW BUCKS

Well this is me waiting for the laundry to finish washing so I can toss it in the dryer. I tend to get 2 cans of coke from the machine but this time did it different.

See 2 cans of coke is the same size (about) as this bottle. This bottle was $2 and 2 cans of coke are $3. So saved $1.

Some think that is not much but when I do it several times it pays for a coffee and pie out with friends. I don't have much so I end up trying to save all I can. This drink is a much needed treat while doing the thing I least like to do with my evening.

Also to save on money I decided I don't want to get Shudder after all. 2 days from now the free preview is over and I won't be picking it up. Unfortunately all these "channels" on Prime now are confusing as you see content that you need to pay more to watch. I wish they would piss off and let you just search what you have - make it a setting so we can turn off the channels we done have.

Yeah, it's only $6.65, but that is a plate of fries and a coffee at the place we go for coffee at. So ya know. Or 2 coffee and a bag of chips. Either way it's money I can use for other things and I am just not sold on the content for the price. Honestly if it was $2 less I'd keep it.

As for laundry, I tend to do it late at night. I went down there at 11 PM thinking no way anyone will be washing. Well... seems a lot of people do it late at night these days.

For almost 3 years I got away doing it in the late night and being alone. Only a few times this one woman did the wash when I was doing it (I've told some people about her and why I'll remember her - but not posting it public).

Now it seems I have to show up at 2 AM to get the machines to myself. It's not that I don't like people, I spend time almost ever day sitting in the rec room talking to people. I have a lot of chemical sensitivities and the soap most people use bothers me. Tide actually causes me a lot of problems.

So I desire to be alone when I do the wash. Just my drink and I and well, my phone to watch YouTube videos on.

There is often some guy listening to podcasts I don't understand (different language) but he is never doing the wash when I am, just listening in the other room.

Being my body has gotten used to being up early once again after many years of being up very late, I don't want to go back to sleeping till noon. So I have to put up with the people in there.

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
