Happy to hear

Good evening all and happy Monday! I hope everyone's week started great!

I am working on some things and catching up on tasks I have set for myself! What are your plans for today?

 

[Dilip]

Nice to see you back in action

What are your plans for today?

I have no specific plans for today, but tomorrow I'll be taking my dad to his knee doctor for a checkup and we're probably going to meet my mom somewhere and she's going to look for a new car. She already has one in mind that she wants, but she wants to get a physical look at it. I'm sure we'll be eating out tomorrow too, one of my favorite parts of taking trips sometimes.

Good evening everyone! I got my Retro Game Treasure box in the mail today, but unfortunately for the second month in a row I got a duplicate game. :\ I reached out to their customer support, and now I'm thinking about maybe switching to a different subscription box called Video Games Monthly. I haven't decided yet though if I'm going to do that yet.

 

[Shortie]

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope everyone's week is going great! Halfway to the weekend!

I got a email back from the owner of Retro Game Treasure, and it turns out they changed their wish list system a bit which is probably why I got the duplicates since both games were on my wish list lol. I'll be keeping my subscription for now and will be getting a extra game next month. I just need to update my wish list.

Well, my mom got her new car yesterday. It was originally marked as "sold" and a day after they said there was a mishap and it wasn't sold, so they held it for her. It's a 2024 Chevy Equinox Premier, it has so many bells and whistles.

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you're all enjoying your weekend so far. I've been enjoying mine, my wife and I started rewatching Attack on Titan the other day and I beat Doom 64. However I noticed there's the lost levels but I got soft locked in one of the maps... So I have to replay a few maps. :\

My better 1/2 was excited that our son got his new 4Runner... and she commented that she was looking forward to getting her a hybrid RAV4 (she has a hybrid 2019 Toyota Camry with 32K on the clock). I asked her if she REALLY wanted to go back into debt for a vehicle since the one she has now will probably last her until she isn't driving any more. Her complaint had been because it was hard to get in/out of because of her knees. She's got 1 new knee (and is scheduled for the other one) now and she's getting around a LOT better.
We had an agreement that for big purchases we had to have justification for them... she couldn't give any other than "I wanted it"... so it's off the purchase selection currently. I had better justification for a 1 ton 4WD truck than her RAV4 want... and I am not pushing the bigger truck.
Since we are in our mid/upper 60's I explained to her we really didn't want to go back into getting into deep debt since we are pretty much debt free currently and at the best we have 5-15 years ahead of us.... and at the rate we put miles on the vehicles it was hard to justify a new one.

Evening all! I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you enjoy your day, I've been having a good one so far. Started working on yet another community, I'm still adding content to the community before I promote it.

I'm in a similar situation where I "want" to eat out more and occasionally splurge on things I want, but my bills have recently gone up and I don't have the money for that. After our vacation in August, I'm looking to find a second job. I don't have a whole lot of experience, I've only been in the food and retail industry, so those are the only types of jobs I can think to attend.

I had to buy a new car because my other car had to be totaled due to there being too many things wrong with it. My mom had quite a few things wrong with her car too. She got a lot less for her old car than I did because she had trade-in value while I got money from insurance.

Good evening! I am a few days ahead of myself this week, keep thinking it's Saturday, I blame the summer break for the kids, which throws me off!

I am still recovering from COVID but starting to feel better. Have a great Wednesday!

 

[Dilip]

Take rest. Weekend will be here sooner than you think

 

[Ravenfreak]

Thank god it's my weekend now, this has been a week from hell. It dragged on and Tuesday was terrible. I made a thread about it over on my forum. That's where I've been posting about my personal things. I should invest in getting Woltlab's blogging system lol, or just open up a Wordpress blog but eh I kind of prefer to have my blog on Thee Zone.
