My only credit card debt is work related that my procrastinating ass doesn’t submit.

Exactly why I stay away from.

Looks like @Souce left us again.

I use cc’s for everything, have not paid a penny in interest in years (and only then because I spaced on the calendar), get hundreds back in rewards dollars, and have FICOs in the 800s.

Credit is like a chainsaw: a great tool if you’re careful with it.

And we will be fine. He’ll be back....or not?

Publix Today had fresh never frozen, $11.99/lb. Why didn’t I buy a pound??

Why didn't you buy 5 pounds!

Waited until the basketball game was over before going to get takeout. As soon as I walked outside another storm was coming through.

I’m hungry dammit.

Delivery, that’s what I would go to...or just cook something out of ingredients that are about to be out of date, call it goulash.

Just threw away a can of Vienna sausages that expired last week. How in the heck did they ever not get eaten a year or so ago??

I didn’t know they expired. Did you buy them in the 80s?

Lol, Cleaning the pantry at mom and dads lake house. Good lord, some of the stuff had changed branding twice since it was bought

I just found some bagels I bought in prep for hurricane Dorian. Could’ve made a lot of penicillin.

Yea, looked back on my comment to NorCal, pretty much made no sense. No defense, lol. Wasn’t paying attention.

When I was cleaning out my mom’s house, I was horrified at some of the dates. I had figured that I would donate most food in cans and cartons to a food pantry, but it went into the trash.

Dad would just cut mold off of bread or cheese and never miss a beat. Personally cheese never gets past a week at my house anyway

My grandmother god rest her soul tried to cook meat frozen in 1995. Right before we moved her to moms 2014

I have done that, but not close to recently.

I sometimes wonder how my mother made it in her home for as long as she did (age 91 when The Big Fall happened.)

The microwave fire was pretty spectacular. She called me to ask how to turn off that thing that made the loud noise (the smoke alarm.) The flames from the microwave did not seem to be a prob.

Gotta love moms. Prob in a calm voice too.

Calm, but slightly irritated, as I had installed the smoke detectors (and separate CO detectors) on my previous visit, and she felt that they were silly.

The last time that I was cleaning out my mothers pantry, I found a bottle of liquid smoke which expired in 1967.
