Money
I'm getting pretty frustrated about money. I just can't seem to get things to where I want them. I have more debt than I would like but if I could even just get rid of the credit card debt (which is the lowest amount) then I would be pretty happy.
I feel like I'm going to get a
migraine if I don't get something figured out soon. I just want to be on the road to recovery from our financial mistakes and I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels. It just never seems like we are making a dent and it's frustrating.
I just wish I could find a way to make some significant money in a side job sort of way that would make a real difference, but so far I haven't come up with anything.
Travel
I'm not the type that travels a lot. I'd like to, but I just can't afford it. So I don't really need
travel insurance, but I do have to wonder what kinds of things it really covers.
Can it cover high gas prices? Bad hotels? Annoying tourists? What kind of payout do you get on a claim for a cloudy view? Are there certain airports you have to use to keep from voiding your coverage? How many forms do you have to fill out while on vacation, just to keep your policy from expiring?
These would all be the type of questions I would ask if I were in the market, but thankfully I'm not, so all you insurance salesman guys can rest easy, assuming you aren't traveling right now.
Another One
A rather large man walks into Ann Summers to purchase some see-through lingerie for His rather large wife.
He is shown several possibilities that range from £50 to £150 in price, the more see-through, the higher the price.
He opts for the sheerest item, pays the £150 and takes the
plus size lingerie home.
He presents it to his wife and asks her to go upstairs, put it on and model It for him.
Upstairs, the wife thinks, "I have an idea. It's so see-through that it might as well be nothing.
I'll not put it on, do the modeling naked and return it tomorrow and get a £150 refund for myself".
So she appears naked at the top of the stairs and strikes a pose.
The husband says, "Hmm, it wasn't that creased in the shop".
His funeral is on Thursday
Stop me if you've heard this one....
A blonde in cowgirl clothes decides to learn and try horse back riding unassisted without prior experience or lessons. She mounts the horse with great effort, and the tall, shiny horse springs into motion.
It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slip from the saddle. Out of shear terror, she grabs for the horse's mane but cannot seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. The horse gallops along, seemingly oblivious to its slipping rider.
Finally, giving up her frail grip, she leaps away from the horse to try and throw herself to safety.
Unfortunately, her foot has become entangled in the stirrup. She is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground again and again. As her head is battered against the ground, she is mere moments away from unconsciousness or even death when Frank, the Wal-Mart manager runs out to shut the horse off.
Car Stuff
I'm looking forward to doing some upgrades to my car now that I own it instead of lease it. I have a few ideas but for the most part it will have to free or almost free things. That limits me greatly but not totally as there are still some options.
I first want to remove the silencer from the car so that I can hear the turbo better. I'd also like to do some moderate HP improvement mods if I can find any cheap enough. It's not high on my priority list but I will work on these things as I have time.

New Clubs
I would love to buy new golf clubs someday. My clubs are fine, but they were hand me downs and I would love to get fitted for some specific clubs for me someday.
Cleveland golf clubs, ping, titleist, who knows, but it would be a lot of fun.
It will be a long time before I can afford such a thing but maybe someday. My golf game probably wouldn't be affected much but I would immensely enjoy the experience. I'm not planning on this by any stretch but I still love to look at the clubs in the store when I get the chance.
Sandy Shells Out
If you ever need to make a tough decision and need the advice of a serious risk taker, just find someone who had an outdoor wedding. Preferably one of those
beach weddings on a tropical island.
That's like asking for sun in the Sahara. It's practically guaranteed. Weddings are pressure packed in the sense that everything has to go right anyway, and then you throw in the weather. I can't imagine how people ever think that that will work out ok.
So if you know someone who did it, and succeeded, then they are the risk taker for you. Clearly their advice will have merit beyond what most peoples would because at the very least, they are really blessed people.
Practice Safe Home Buying, use Condos
I can't look at the word "condo" or a sign like "
condos for sale" anymore without laughing.
It all started one day when my mother in law (whom is extremely cool and I really like a lot) was trying to tell us that some friends of theirs had looked at a property in Florida...
To set the stage, Betty is famous for her Bettyisms. She really is the female Yogi Berra. She often says things like this that are never forgotten and my wife even started a list of them.
Betty: yep they are moving to Florida
Wiff: thats cool
Betty: I think they are going to buy one of those comdoms...
Wiff: What?!?!
Betty: You know, condoms that people live in.
Wiff: You don't by chance mean, condominiums do you?
Laughter ensues....
