What I'm going to do at the Delegates Meeting next Saturday,
via Zoom, emphasize that "I am NOT the Treasurer, and have
NO BUSINESS handling money meant for the organization". I've
created a new reminder card with the renewal form, and the
address of where to mail it. If they still send it back to
me, I'll send it back to them, with a note, saying "Don't
even bother sending any more money... since you can't follow
the directions on the form, your transaction will NOT be
processed".
I'm not holding my breath. I told the President and the
Treasurer of the organization that "For several weeks (if
not months), this stuff has been in the publication, on the
websites, on the meeting handouts, and I've even discussed
it at the meetings. But, apparently no one was reading the
info (a waste of time, paper, ink, and money), and not
paying attention to me (a waste of my time and my breath)".
2) Health issues. I never know when I'll have a kidney[snip]
stone, migraine, or gastroenteritis attack (nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea). Plus, driving or riding in a car for
long distances, causes my legs to spasm...
...Never mind all the crap with COVID-19, and
transportation issues when you travel if you're not driving
yourself.
3) Should I get a generator or not?? The commercials you see
are very deceptive... that's just the price of the
generator, and NOT including the labor and installation
costs, which can be rather substantial.
Only The Good Lord knows who is going to win the election,
but I pray I'm dead and gone before the bottom falls out.
Some commentators have said that "the last trump" is not
only "the last trumpet before the final series of prophetic
events before The Second Coming Of Christ, are set into
motion"... but that Trump is the last US President before
the bottom falls out on this country.
I've got insomia from all the stress, so I likely will have
to nap later today. That's why I'm answering BBS mail at
this hour.
I'd rather pay via PayPal or the debit card. My bank has a
Fraud Prevention program, that if a transaction looks
suspicious, I will get a call or a text message, asking me
to verify the transaction. I was the victim of identity
theft several years ago, and have several deals in place to
protect me from it happening again.
I was sick much of Tuesday with a migraine sinus headache,
that I could not hold my eyes open. I didn't even get out of
bed until 3pm, and only ate a couple of cheese danish all
day. I'm about to use the last 2 of those, and all I have
left in the house is flavored water. It looks like it's back
to bread and lunch meat sandwiches for another month... if I
can even afford that.
That's not the healthiest diet, but right now, I have no
choice.
if I can ever get funds to put the BBS in the cloud, I'll
get rid of the high speed internet here, as I can logon via
a Verizon Mi-Fi. That'd save at least $100 a month, that I
could use for groceries.
I tend to not like sweet cereals and so stick with shredded
wheat (plain), topped with a generic Grape Nuts and
raisins - lots of raisins!
I haven't had cereal in ages, and am not a breakfast person.
I love chocolate iced donuts (with a Diet Doctor Pepper),
though. <G> The only time I eat breakfast is if I have an
early morning medical appointment, and had to fast
beforehand... or if I'm doing a morning ham radio license
exam session.
Are these payments from square dance members? If so, why not make the announcements during a dance event? Maybe even design a call that
gives instructions:
Grab yer partner, doe see doe
I'll tell ya where the cheques should go..
The members are dancers, not readers! LOL.
Definitely not a good time to plan a trip of any kind by any mode of travel right now.
How do your neighbor's cope when the power goes out?
Lean not on thine own understanding. ;) It is interesting that Trump
has now contracted the virus.
Yep.. 3:10a is pretty early! Hopefully your stress/insomnia is
temporary.
I thought debit card was a poorer choice for making payments vs credit card. Debit is treated like cash. Once it is gone out of your account, it's gone. Whereas with credit card the amount is in process for
atleast the pay period and can be reversed or challenged more easily.
The other cooked half can store in the fridge for a few days. Fresh
yams store well, and are pretty cheap imho.
Hopefully for healthier groceries. ;)
Today, an egg + 1/2 avocado + 1/2 banana takes me through the morning
for 5 hours before I even *think* of anything else to eat.
Cereals are empty carbs. And noone has just the labeled quantity of "1 serving" of that stuff + milk + other add ons.
An egg + avocado + a couple spoons of peanut butter are a better low
carbs + protein choice than a bowl of cereal. I have about two
servings of unsalted almonds and cashews in the early afternoon - they
are fine sources of natural fat energy for the body.
