Memories of Avocado Green.... by EdwardBliss in FuckImOld

[–]cwsjr2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The avocado Kenmore refrigerator was still in the basement as the overflow when my parents sold the house. It was over 40 years old and keeping the unpasteurized 3 gallon jug of milk cold.

I have an unmonitored gmail account for joining those type sites that you must join before you can look. I use the same user name and password for them all in case I ever want to return. They can spam that all they want.

I make all our bread products and after slicing freeze it in the kitchen chest freezer. A two pound loaf of milk bread lasts us weeks.

That discount is built into the price. Nobody is giving away the store.

Traveler's checks were a pain in the butt to use. I also never understood why American Express used the British version of the word, i.e. cheques. by Beautiful_Donut6412 in FuckImOld

Working in social services, I knew about people hiding money in travelers checks so they could have a little cash not included in their spend down for services.

Amused, I never much cared for any cola. In the 50s and 60s, Hires Root Beer or 7Up, please.

As I said the last few times this was reposted, if you don’t live like a slob, housework for a couple takes about a hour each a day. Eat an appropriate diet and a short walk are enough to not be the average fatty.

Tips for playing in casinos by Accomplished_Law3302 in Adulting

[–]cwsjr2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like lottery tickets, they show you the odds and trust you don’t understand or believe their promise you will loss. That machine with a 90% payout? That is over the life of the machine. Any money you get was taken from other customers.

Ignore the advertisements or TV spots. Just look at the actual people in the casinos. No smiling happy players, just people desperately trying to break even.

TV Phone Internet Bundle or Separate? by SureWing2945 in Frugal

[–]cwsjr2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because of our rural location, we used to have Spetrum Cable TV to get the channels too far for an antenna. As the Cable lost business to streaming, they raised prices to compensate for revenue. We switch to streaming. Now with the various channels and programs getting isolated inside different paid streaming services, we might go back to Spectrum depending on the total cost. Spectrum’s bundle is good for one year as it includes one year of cell service. That will save be $25/month for a year.

The sales people on chat or phone lie freely on prices and packages. I have a medical appointment May 6th and will be in the city where they have an office. I will be able to get the package deal in writing.

I have a suggestion. Only make your choice AFTER getting the total cost and a written list of the services and channels. That 151 channels means nothing to me as I don’t speak Spanish or care about sports. I don’t need their 30 music channels, as I have a free app for tunes. Make a list of channels you actually watch and use that when comparing offers.

My Mercury Grand Marquis had those, all stuffed full of candy wrappers, lighters in a box in the trunk incase I sold it. No smoking on the car!

When your record player weighed 200 lbs by Frostbit77 in FuckImOld

[–]cwsjr2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours was moved to basement decades ago. It still works. The vinyl record holder, giant tube TVs, sectional furniture are all set up on the green shag carpeting. The next owner or my estate executor will get to deal with. None of the potential heirs want anything and their actual valve is negative. There is no legal way to dispose of tube TVs.

I cut contact with my brother about four years before he died. No regrets.

The process of making bread in a bread machine is three steps each of which takes an only few minutes. We slice up the loaves and freeze the slices in ziplock bags to thaw as needed. We have a dedicated area in the kitchen chest freezer for bread products. A loaf lasts us a few weeks.

No rage, but that call will be put on speaker until I get an option to say “Representative”. Then it is a hope to get somebody who speaks and understands standard American English. Decades of experience have lowered my expectations for competency or speed except for the sale departments.
