Nrthwnd Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 ^ Well, Happy B-Day to You! Now, go eat some cake. Won this the next day..... (o: And a $3 win on a scratch ticket!
cal1br3tto Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Although it's been a weird week, today was not the most worstest day. --Got paid. (Payday is Friday, and checks come in on Thursday, but I found out mine was mailed. It was given to my mail carrier on Friday for delivery on Friday, but only came in today, because God-knows-why.) --I'm getting a new credit card!!! --My cousin, who's a writer, shared an article on Twitter. I clicked because I knew there was a good chance he wrote it. It turns out his 14-year-old daughter wrote the article, which is super-extra awesome!
thrillseeker4552 Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 I’m about done with my second week of school this semester, and I’m actually staying on top of things and not procrastinating.........yet. And it feels good! But we’ll see how long it lasts.
Nrthwnd Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Not that impre$$ive, but not bad for a three dollar scratch ticket, hmm? It won me $12 on the $3 ticket. Happy me!
Dombot Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Funny story from yesterday during a brief trip to Busch Gardens. I was sitting the front row of Montu, so while I was waiting to dispatch, I decided struck up a conversation with the girl next to me. What follows is an *almost* exact play-by-play. Me: You ever done this before? (best conversation starter ever btw) Girl: Oh yeah, tons of times. I don't live in Florida, but I come down here every year or so just to ride this. It's my favorite coaster ever. Me: Yeah, it's definitely one of the better B&Ms out there. Girl: ...I'm sorry, did you just say B&M? Me: ...yeah, sorry. It's the manufacturer of this coa... Girl: I know! Me: YOU DO?! And so we geeked out for like 10 minutes after we exited about everything coaster related. First enthusiast I've ever met at a park. Win.
thrillseeker4552 Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 ^That's awesome! I have an interview this Saturday to be a ride operator at Lagoon this summer! So excited!
viking86 Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 That wonderful feeling when it's well past 5 PM and it's still daylight outside!
cal1br3tto Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I have just determined that the government owes me money!!! For the record, I blame Texas. Thank you, Texas.
Mrlittle Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 For the record, I blame Texas. Thank you, Texas. I’m not sure why this makes me happy but it does.
Nrthwnd Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Finished doing my taxes, today. And....I get money back! Not a lot. But I still don't have to pay the Gov't, hah!
viking86 Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Easter vacation has started. Almost a whole week off work, fantastic!
Nrthwnd Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Mmmm. Gonna do - Some Bar Bi Queue - very very soon. I'm starting to salivate, since we're going for the MEMPHIS FEAST..... a bit of everything. I had to post this somewhere!!!!
Nrthwnd Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Not as often as I would like it to happen, but.... And I won a FREE TICKET on another Sushi Bar Bucks ticket I bought! (o: And omgomgomgOMG I just bought a $2 ticket and won $10!!!
viking86 Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Just checked my taxes and I'm getting almost $2k back this year!
Nrthwnd Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 ^Congrats to you for that! I'm getting only 400$Cdn back, but it's better than paying The Government, right? I also won another bunch of $$ from my current Poker Lotto scratch tickets, too! Woo hoo for that!
Nrthwnd Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) (After an amaaaaazing local restaurant meal...) French Cooking Rawks!!! Time and time again! Where we just ate... a couple of blocks from our home... http://www.bistroabsinthe.com/ EDIT: And I reserved myself a solo dinner, while David's away for most of the evening, in early May, woo hoo! Edited April 9, 2018 by Nrthwnd
Nrthwnd Posted April 10, 2018 Posted April 10, 2018 ...And I got myself a few bucks on my lottery/scratch tickets! Once I figured it all out, I won $18! And I paid for these with the previous week's winnings, too.
JG-77 Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 I'm probably going to get to ride el toro again sometime this year
ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Today I was offered, and accepted, a promotion! Downside is that I will have 8 weeks of mandatory training this summer that totally screws with my vacation plans...good news is it's a much better job and a significant pay raise. So not so many coasters this year, but more money for coasters later!
Nrthwnd Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 ^ Congratulations on your promotion! More $$$ always makes traveling better.
Mrlittle Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 I won free tickets from a radio station. Never has happen to me before.
Nrthwnd Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Whew! My new monthly "lower Income" was deposited into my bank account today...and it's not too bad! This is from turning 65 back at the end of March. Pension and Old Age Security do change. But... Less than a couple of hundred dollars difference between what I was getting, and what I get now! Not a windfall, but much MUCH better than what I was expecting.
