Dunno who came up with the slogan, Money can’t buy happiness [googling isn’t a word] but it sure as biscuits can make you less sad. I’m/we’re 90% certain that current problems in the co-parenting roommate relationship (oh wait—I meant “marriage”) are related to my wholesale indifference to money and Half’s total, unabashed commitment to it. …
Is That … a Collective Middle Finger?
I/we/me got it. Strange how all the experts have missed this particular point, but methinks we got it. Somewhere ‘round these parts was the discussion of how the social contract is really just a hired hit on the poors of the populace, and how the entire system is rigged … well, the global pandemic lockdown …
Finance Defense
Because I didn’t actually feel like working, I looked into the history of the Great Wall of China. Yeh … that Wall. Fascinating factoids: the Great Wall of China stretches from the Gobi Desert to the Yellow Sea (‘bout 13K miles / 21K kilometers wat, round-bout ½ the distance of the EARTH’S EQUATOR) [the natives …
Where Were We Oh Yeeesss
DEBT MONKAAAYYYYYY!!! It’s actually better, smaller, quicker. Had to step away for a bit because LIFE-ing can be all-consuming but the day-to-day doings continue. Actually had planned to post in August (men plan / GOD laughs and laughs and laughs) so here we/I/us am/are/to be … Hello, glad/it’s good to be back. Guess we’ll getting …
HateBang the Monkey
Knocked off a bit of the debt monkey … unexpected fall of wind … nice. Could have gone in a couple different directions but found meself angry at specific parts of the primate and decided to just hack those pieces off with a nice, sharp blade. Goes back to the discussion on slush. Snowball / …
Spend This Instead
Love not sleep {Prov. 20:13} Rather than spend money … spend energy. Exercise. Free, and unlike sex, no real consequences, apart from injury, and that’s personal thing. Treatment is always optional and the decision to seek treatment is peculiar to the individual … it’s good that only you can feel your pain. Don’t have to …
dee debell & heez eemps
Or more properly translated: the devil, and his imps. {Luke 10:18} Here, tho’ in this little piece of the intersphere, we have a little different meaning: Incentive Motivation Passion Distraction See, a big part of the debt monkey comprises purpose – that thing that pushes each and every of us out of bed …
Smart A$$ Kid
Truth in disclosure? Took me a minute to warm up to theKid. Not that the love wasn’t there – that’s biology, like pooping – but enjoying theKid as a separate, distinct person with personality? That took a few years. While theKid was counted in months, the entire parenting experience – for us, as we – …
A Trip to the ThriftStore … yes
Interlude Prior to Half, my thoughts on spending re plates and such was dumb. Spent thousands on VHS/DVDs, but those were investments. So WHAT if the tech is dead. Now, however, I/we realize that eating exclusively off paper/plastic is tres gauche, so … kitchen utensils are in order. BUT! Spending on plates and stuff that …
Monkey Malnutrition
Found a truly stellar article that outlined the steps to getting out of debt while living P2P (AND I SURE DON’T MEAN PLAYSTATION) / of course most of it doesn’t work for us thusly or already in effect but it might be helpful to pass along the info … real brief/undies only: 1. Halt-cease-end use …
