Free Lunch

   

Hello all well here's my story for the past week. First the Board Of Education is giving out free breakfast and lunch for the summer no questions asked. Yes that's me standing on line with my blue protective gloves on and , a big white bag  in my hands. The breakfast is basically a small muffin, chocolate  or  1% milk. and a  apple/orange. The lunch as you can see in the picture is not bad, You get a choice of sandwiches ( this was a turkey & cheese)  in a plastic bag with a bag of sliced apples, pretzels and some hummus ( not sure what that is or how you eat it)  For lunch it was ok. I love the apples and pretzels the turkey sandwich and hummus not so much.

Also 

It's been to hot 80's & 90's here in New York to move around a lot . New York is really getting it's heat on this year. So  with me staying  home I am trying to get my old files and paperwork cleaned out. Who needs bank statements from the 80's Not me.

So that's my story what do you think?  

I Am For The Birds

Hello all well here's the story for the week. I am for the birds I have bluejays and many other birds in my backyard. So I wanted to get them a bird feeder.  Being a cheapskate I went to the 99 cent store, family dollar, dollar tree they only had bird feeders for  certain birds and not all birds. I am looking for all birds. So if you know where I can find a cheap bird feeder let a sister know.

 Had a birthday this past week. Like normal people they celebrate by doing something fancy or fun to celebrate their special day. Me I mowed the lawn in my rental home. Cleaned up the front to make it look nice for when I rent or sell it. Got myself a treat of  a Wendys chicken sandwich and  vanilla frosty.  Ok with  how I celebrated my birthday  I am not a big birthday celebrator anyway. As long as I wake  up in the morning I am fine. My mother did give me a PJ gift card for $100 for my birthday  which I will use at a later time. Thanks Mom!

                                    So that's my story for the week what do you think?

Darn Money Storm

Hello all have you ever had a money storm rain down on you all of a sudden? Well let me tell you about my money storm. First  when I filed my personal taxes I ended owing the government $4000. So that bill came in. A couple days later the property taxes came in I owed $15,000. because I have two properties and I live in New York. Which we all know the property taxes here are to high.

Then I get a membership bill for AAA ( Automobile Club Of America) which that's about $115 for 2 people. See where I am going with this money storm. It's taking most of the money I had saved up.

I had just finish paying for 3 cars to get inspected and my personal car needed repairs so that was an extra $150. This money storm is throwing me all kinds of ways and not in a good way. .

Now if I could just win the lotto this money storm would be no longer a problem for me because I would  have storm insurance for it. Being my big lotto check.

                                                 Well that's my story what do you think?

Grateful

Hello all well here's the story for the week. I am grateful and I will tell you why.  I have a roof over my head, food in my stomach, good medical services and I get up each morning. I am blessed.
 I don't know if I told you  that  I am into birds now. With that I am looking for a bird  feeder for outside. We have so many colorful birds this time of year and I see they are looking for food. You would think the 99 cent store would have bird feeders. They don't I looked on line I am not paying $30-45 dollars not including food for a bird to eat. So I am still looking got any suggestion

My frustration with the new normal now  is you have to wait in line just to go  into a store. Yesterday I went to P.C. Richards there was a line outside just to get inside. People who walked passed the line not knowing there was a line were getting yelled at by the people waiting in line. That happened to me in the grocery store I didn't know that their was a line. If I have to keep waiting in line to get in a store to wait in line I am done with shopping in stores for now anyway.

 Others then that it's been quite no major problems and I like it like that . So what do you think?

Great Friday

 Hello all wanted to tell you I had a great I mean Great Friday! First when I went to get the free Grab & go from the Public School. You know they give you free breakfast and lunch. Well they were giving out  a package that had cheese, graham crackers, fruit, and some other good stuff. Also their sandwiches were pretty tasting looking to. I basically go for the cut up apples in a bag they are good .

I got my stimulus debit card in the mail. I almost throw that bad boy away but something told me to open it. The government is so sneaky they did not tell us that your stimulus money was going to be in a debit card and not a  government check. Luck thing I opened it and investigated why is some unknow bank sending me a debit card. A lot of people were not so luck  they also though like I did and threw the cards ways thinking that it was a scam. To replace the card  it it will cost you $7.50.  This bank who issued these card will be making a killing on replacement fees I bet.

Also I am just grateful for a new day of waking up each and everyday. I am blessed and thankful.

                                                   Well That's My Story What do You Think?

News!!!

                                                       Hello all Long Time 

Well here's the story so far. My gardener which sold the business to  his worker. Never notified his clients that he sold the business. The  worker rang my bell yesterday asking for payment. Mind you they just started doing the yard 2 months ago. The worker was nice and explained to me the situation about how he purchased the business etc. I started to let his company go because we could not see eye to eye on the bill.  But I  can be a sucker at some points so we agreed upon what I owed him already $260 for his work so far this year. I paid in cash and going forward I told him he was being watched and if I don't like the service that he is doing.  On to the next company because where I live we got plenty of lawn care companies.

Free lunch the schools are offering free breakfast and lunch because of  school shut downs. I passed  a school close to my house and the line was not that long. They said that if  people do not get the food for the day they throw it in the garbage. What a waste. So today I am going to get the free lunch and breakfast that is being given to adults after 11.30-1:30 today. Why let it go to waste.

                                               Well that's my story what do you think?

Scary Times

 Hello all well  here's the  story for the week. Scary Times. What I mean by that is that I have been watching videos on food banks and unemployment. I see how people  who have lost their jobs and have no income coming in get on line at  various  food banks at 5 am in the morning  just to get some food to feed their families. I also see how the government has put a lot of people on hold when it comes to them giving out  either stimulus  checks or unemployment. I know I am still waiting on information regarding  my unemployment check status and I have been waiting 4 weeks now.

I am looking  at all of these and counting my blessing that I am still able to  keep a roof over my head, food in my stomach and a car that's still running. Thank you God! I am also looking at why is it that every time I go to the grocery store it's $100 bucks. For those of us still able to afford food  if prices of food keep going up it won't be long before we join the people on the food line for our bag of groceries.
                   
                                                                 Stay Safe & Healthy
