Not Much To Tell


 Hello all well here's the story for the week. Nothing much to tell. Still trying to get the van sold. I am hoping this guy I talked to can get me a buyer. I only want $1500 for the van. The cost of my repairs.

Being retired takes a lot out of you. I have to be responsible for our finances, calling for doctors appointments, keeping track of household situations, It's like being a secretary , financial officer, driver, travel planner and so many other thing all at different times.  Sometimes it gets frustrating and  tiresome.

I had to cancel my reservations for Atlantic city because we are still waiting for our car to come back from the repair shop and the car I am using now I dare not take to far. It's over 30 years old and has some issues. I love my car but she does have her limits.

Other then that nothing much to talk about my week has been quite so far.

                                             Well that's my story what do you think?

To Hot




 Hello all here's the story for the week. It's to hot to do anything. New York is 90 degrees but feels like 100 degrees. Friday it was 98 but felt like 108. Me and my partner cleaned the van that we are trying to sell. A guy that we know said that he was going to take pictures of the van because he has a buyer. But for the last 2 days it was to hot to move. So the guy did not show up , But I understand it's to hot. The guy told us to give him time. The van will be sold for like $2000. That's what I am asking for it anyway. It cost us $1500 to get it fixed and we thought $2000 is the right price to sell the van for just to get rid of it.

I was sweating like a pig just walking outside to my car. That ever happen to you  where you just can not stop sweating because it's just to hot?

                                                 Well that's my story what do you think?

Update

Hello all  I am tired. I have been working  making phone calls to  Insurance companies, car repair shops,  I need a break. When you get into any kind of  accident you might as well say that you have do do most of the work yourself.
Here's the crazy part Saturday the repair shop called to say that the  Allstate  claims adjustment guy  has not shown up yet to inspect the damage to the car.  The repair guys  took my car for repairs on Wednesday. The repair guy says that he can not do anything until the Allstate guys sees it and tells him how much he will be paid for the repairs. That's crazy. Now I have to wait until someone decides to check on my car  and give them  a repair price to get my car back.

  I swear since covid things have not been right since.

I am tired..

     Well that's my story what do you think?

Company Truck



  Hello well well here's the story  for this week. They hit me!!! My car got hit by a  major company truck Can you said that I am mad. I am mad!! The damage is extensive. what is it about red cars that people don't like. I have a red car and it keeps getting abused. The crazy part is that I waited 5 hours for the police to show up. I called 911 70 times every 15 minutes on the 15 minutes. They told me that the police were on their way. So 5 hours later  I was still waiting.

I ended going to my local precinct  to get a police report the cop tells me that they do not  comes to  personal property accidents anymore.  They also said our insurance company should fill out the police report. What does that mean??  Well it means they do not come to  car  accidents unless somebody is badly hurt  or god forbid dead and the insurance company can do the paper work for the accident.  If I would have known the police would not show up  I would not have waited so long.

 I can not tell you the damage to my car and my personal self. What a way to start the week

                                                 That's My  Story what Do You Think?

Stupid Spending


  Hello all well here's the story for the week. I have made some stupid choices when it comes to spending. Here's one of them. I have this van  a ford econoline 1984. That has been sitting in my drive way for 2 years getting rusty. I use to use it  for  doing  flea markets and taking  stuff to the donation center. But no more. It sat for 2 years  maybe 3 getting rusty in my driveway. Now it needs new tires, calibrator's, you name it it needs it. But get this the department of moto vehicles sent me a letter saying the car needs inspecting. So that I can get my inspection sticker to drive it . I  said  no the  van needs to be dumped. It's a piece of junk. 

But my partner wanted the van inspected so  we sent it to the gas station had to tow it there by a tow truck to get it fixed. That was las week Wednesday.  I am hoping that it will not cost us much money to get that piece of junk fixed because to me we are wasting money. Junk it and it will lower our insurance and  repair cost.

To fix a piece of junk that will not work or  is no longer needed is stupid spending. That's all I am saying.

                                              That's My Story What do you think?

It's Time


 Hello all well here's the story for the week.  This week was family time.  Since the virus was quite I took advantage and spent  some well deserved time with family. I had a mini- vacation. Went down to jersey visited the beach  ate all the wrong foods  and relaxed. If one thing that this virus has taught me is that life is to short. So if you get the chance spent the time with loved ones. Because you just never know what the future holds.

Also I can tell you this with spending time with family I did not need to visit Atlantic city to gamble I spent just as much money  with them then I would have gambling. But I am not complaining it was fun.

                                             Well that's my story what do you think?

Got The Rip-Off Bills Today




  Hello all here's the story. I got my visa bill today it was $4697. I almost cried when I saw that bill. Then I took a good look  it was all my rip- off services that were done for the month of June. The plumbing services with new pipes a new faucet and sink  for my  bathroom. That was about $3000. The car inspection which turned into an oil change was $75. That was suppose to be free with me proving that I took the corvid shot. I spend way to much on groceries for 2 people $500. That and other basic things like my deposit for my cruise next year $150. I still cried I hate spending that kind of money on rip-off stuff  even though I needed it. Well some of it anyway.


 I am willing to pay $7300 for 11 days for this view in 2022. I just booked my holiday cruise for Christmas 2022  and returning after new years 2023. It's 11 days and it was expensive. but I saved on  airfare because I am cruising from New York. 2022 is a big birthday  milestone  for me. I want 2022 to be  about me  enjoying life  (God Willing)  Oh I will be looking for better deals since I have time. I am hoping to get this holiday day trip for under $4000 for 2 people.

                                                 Well that's the story what do you think.
