  • Looking good for an old guy

    "It was necessary for me to obtain a tuxedo to wear at my Exemplification to the 4th Degree in the Knights of Columbus. A purchase seemed more appropiate rather than renting as I expect to wear the "uniform" often at various functions. My wife was with me when I made the purchase and she remarked that not only will I be wearing it as a Knight, but that she intends that I be buried in it. "

  • Popping bottles to pay the bills

    "I have like 4 jobs and have been trying to bartend so i can at least only have 2 that can make ends meet. I used my stimulus check to pay some bills and supplements my income for 2 weeks while i took the bartending class. I put that on my credit card so i hope it pays itself off soon."

  • CUBAN CIGARS

    "Taking a day trip to Freeport to see how many Cuban cigars I can smoke in one day. George says embargo still on re: human rights. What crap. There isn't 5 cents difference between Cuba & China in that regard. The real difference is that corporate America gets fat off the importation of Chinese junk & contributes to political campaigns."

  • Property Taxes are a BEACH!

    "I wish I could say that I spent my pathetic $300 stimulus on a trip to some exotic beach...but instead I spent $50 on a tank of gas and spent the day a few hours away in Venice (picture) and the rest made a very small dent in my $26,000 PROPERTY TAX bill! Thanks Sammy!"
