The difference between a check and a debit card is that with a check, you have to enter the amt and date of the purchase in the ckbook. So you're much more conscious of how much you're spending, and how much you have left, if you balance the book at the end of the day. With a card, you don't see anything. The debit card makes it too easy to spend the money without concern. I refuse to own a debit card.
Good for you. Yes, the debit card makes it way too easy. Letting go of cash is painful for me, and it disappears really fast.

Stick with Whole Foods. It's more expensive, but worth it. Totally different crowd, with only rare exceptions.

I see people sneeze without covering their mouths. In my corner of Reality, they turn to the side and sneeze, so they're not blowing stuff all over for other people to inhale. Especially the cashiers. If it's one person you DON"T want covering their mouths when they sneeze, it's the cashiers. Think about it. They handle your money.

I'm sorry life is so grotesque, hotair. Consider moving to civilization. How far are you from retirement?
A long way. I used to live in Colorado. I loved it. Moved here for my wife. The first day that I moved here I went to the movie store to rent a movie. I pulled up beside an old beater truck. I opened my door and almost stepped in mound of chicken bones. Next to me, sitting in the truck was a man so fat that he had a bucket of KFC resting on his stomach, so much so that the rim of the bucket was touching one of his many chins. He had eaten the whole bucket of chicken while sitting in the parking lot and was throwing the bones out the window onto the parking lot.

My wife was in the car with me. She saw it too. I turned and looked at her and she started laughing..."I don't care" she said, "We are still staying".

People who drive behind you when you are trying to back out. Seattle's drivers are famous for this. Too much caffeine.

People popping their zits (or their SO's zits) on the beach. Ick.

People who don't give a "thank you" wave if you let them in.

People who pull out their devices at the table in a restaurant or the dinner table.

People who don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom. These people need to wear a sign.

People that won't wait until the aisle ahead of them to get out before pressing forward to disembark an aircraft.

People who douse themselves in perfume, cologne or body spray.

People who won't take 30 seconds to return a shopping cart to the cart corral, leading to parking lot mayhem with loose carts everywhere.

Parents who let their kids run wild.

People who permanently wear their Bluetooth as if it's a new, vital organ.

People who e-mail back "You're welcome" to a "Thanks" e-mail.
And misspell You're as "Your"
People who e-mail the work "Thanks".
Just kidding on the last ones...sort of.
forgive me, what's a Bluetooth?

She got into a chrysler convertible with another 80 something year old woman who had an oxygen tank in the back seat with tubes in her nose with the top down. All I could think of is why the oxygen tank, just stick head out the window like a dog and get oxygen at 60 mph.

Where I live...you would not believe the stuff that goes on around here unless you actually saw it for yourself. These have to be the rudest, most uncouth people that I have ever seen.
give us a hint. Florida?

A type of hands-free earpiece for receiving cell phone calls. Some people have them in their ear from the moment they wake up to the time they go to bed. Like the Borg.

In Arkansas, it is what you get when your fake gold tooth turns.

Wow. Wife's cracking the whip. Tough situation, H-A. Thanx for another laugh, though. Yeah, I know--not funny from where you're sitting. Colorado is amazing, really so beautiful! I think at some point, maybe in a few more years, you're going to have to throw yourself at your wife's feet, begging for mercy. Maybe you two can move back to CO. Really, she owes you that, for making this sacrifice for however many years. Best wishes, HA.
