Bridget: That was a long drive!

Used to work 7-3 at the hospital in Frederick MD and I lived in Martinsburg, WV. It was about a 65 mile drive. Hated it. So happy when I got a job at City Hospital in Martinsburg. Made my workday so much easier.

Used to have to show up to work at 6 A.M. seven days a week. Salaried employee.

Prudent and frugal does not equal miser.

Pam,

Three days a week is a plus! I don’t think you would survive doing it more often than that.

You will be counting the days as you approach August.

Oh gosh the drive is what is getting to me, up at 4 am on the road by 5 and home at 8ish. Thankfully its only 3 days a week and some days I can carpool. August is my retirement goal and it can not come soon enough

Leaving the house at 7 a.m. is not nearly as bad as having to clock in by 7 a.m. Having to haul azz out of bed in the wee hours and hustle to work was one of the reasons I decided I'd rather live like a miser to make my inheritance last than go back to work.

I bet you are, Golden!

I still enjoy driving, but much prefer favorable conditions, and not too hot either of course.👵👵😇😇

Snow in the forecast again today. I think we have had more snow in the last month than the total for the past six years I have been here!

Even over 10 years later, I am glad I don't have to be out of the house on the way to work by 7:30 am at 30 below. Brrr! 😰❄🌨🥶

Glad,

100 miles! My word, that’s a trek. I would be relieved too.

Remember when we were young and couldn’t wait to drive a car? LOL 😆

Now, not so much. Well, not a 200 mile round trip anyway!

Still so relieved to not have to get up and drive 100 miles to work! Then to drive 100 miles back on Wednesday!😁😁

I am watching Shark Tank.

Some of the presentations on Shark Tank are so ridiculous!

I like some of them but the goofy, contrived ones are just dumb.

I do like watching the show occasionally because I like entrepreneurial spirits! I like seeing people succeed living out their dreams. That part of the show is cool to see.

I like to see what the sharks are interested in also. My favorite shark is Barbara. I like Robert a lot too.

I can’t imagine having that much money that I could invest in all of those things. It’s a gamble. Some pay off. Some bomb.

Margaret,

You reminded me of recess at our school. We had uniforms since it was a Catholic school.

Girls had pleated skirts in our elementary school. Mom bought the smallest size for me and they were still too big. So, I had to wear suspenders too! LOL 😆

My mom sewed but was frugal, she figured that if I wore the suspenders instead of altering my uniforms that I could wear them again the following year.

Anyway, at our school the girls and boys had separate playgrounds so the boys wouldn’t see up our skirts when we played on the monkey bars.

The nuns had us completely separated in different play areas.

NeedHelpWithMom, I had the same side effect from my covid booster. Was so very tired, but if that was the only side effect I had, I was happy with that :)

I'm not in such a hurry. We just started a business so it won't be for a bit.

In my youth I was a Tomboy, a Sporty Spice girl, so my favorite day was when we had gym because I got to wear shorts under my skirt/dress at school all day (because there was nowhere to change and not enough time). Today, I wear pants 99.9% of the time. I don't miss dresses (or pantyhose) at all. Girls today have the option to wear "athleisure wear" like yoga shorts under their skirts/dresses, so not sure what school would have a problem with that, except one where the admins had no brains or spines.

The ‘no dresses because they show your panties’ is actually quite a significant problem. One of my daughters went to a girls high school that had no climbing equipment in the yard. The only sport was ‘standing up and running,’ like hockey or net ball. Turning upside-down on the ‘monkey bars’ (and chatting at the top) was all the go at Primary School, then not allowed the next year in high school. The uniform was a tunic, and it seemed to me that the block on ‘alternative’ exercise really was about ‘not showing your panties’. We probably need more waist high black panties? And more options for shorts and trousers?

There's no contributing Glad, but there is a requirement that a certain number of guests book rooms there and the expectation is that will be all of us since there are transportation, distance and time constraints. And since this is a place the "beautiful people" frequent the rooms are VERY expensive and since I'm solo that means there will be no cost splitting, plus it's my understanding that any other expenses incurred beyond the wedding meal will be self pay.

I have been to several destination weddings and I have to say I see the appeal. They are often cheaper for the bride and groom as they normally pay for thier trip and alot of the wedding frills like photos are included by the resort ( hey they know they are going to get extra business from this ) and the honeymoon is already set! No pressure to attend normally, it;s come if you want. Our first time was to Jamaica, and we went for 6 days and called it our vacation too. My bonus daughter is also getting married in Jamaica this April, and we are going. It will be our vacation as we havent gone anywhere since COVID except to the beach and the river house. And my BFF is coming along,, she knows the bride and wants to go to Jamaica, and BD said no problem,, only about 40 are expected. BD will be getting off way cheaper than another of their crowd who spent over 10,000 10 years ago and NEVER lived with her spouse,, they broke up right after. We call that the most expensive party ever! ( in her group) So I guess it depends on your mindset,, we get a vacation we haven't had and get to see my wonderful BD get married. We decided if we didn;t go we would have a backyard party for them when they get back,, but decided to go.

My mom gave up on dresses, except for holidays. She said I was always doing things that showed my panties. That use to be unacceptable :-).

I had to go buy a dress when I started going to church, so whatever she said to me about wearing dresses stuck for a long time.

We still do parties outdoors. It just works.
