FINANCIALLY FIT HOTTIES - THURSDAY, APRIL 16

[squid]

Good morning, Hots.

[squid]

I was able to make a Kroger run during my lunch break yesterday. Spent $49.77, and $16 of that was a phone card I got 4X fuel points for. All these fuel points and cheap gas and nowhere to go. The store wasn't crowded, most kept their distance, and I'd say about 75% of people wore a face covering. There was one jerk in the deli who wasn't covered and he had his hand flat on top of the glass counter that serves as a shield for the hot food like fried chicken. I wanted to say something but didn't want to get into with someone I didn't know.

Morning squid and ATF.

People are assy everywhere. I ran into the big store for 2 more bottles of DHs wine since you can only buy 2 at a time. I scored flour and sugar along with a bottle of Microban spray. We are low on Clorox wipes and those I still can't find.

Since I stopped there I decided to try Sam's Club for the ranch we like and the pulled pork. Some jackwagon woman with no mask was BROWSING the packaged meat aisle, picking up packages and putting them back. Grrrrrrr. She stood in front of the pulled pork so long I moved on. They were out of the ranch so I just left. Will try again Friday.

Morning

People are stupid. Personally right now masks need to be mandated.

Speaking of masks. U of Mich hospitals got a shipment from the federal reserve stockpile and had to send them back as they weren't medical grade for frontline workers

Yesterday was a no Spender. Today will be bills if I can get on my banks website. Also the furnace repair unless DH pays for it.

[prinlea2000]

Morning all.

Yesterday was $24.85 for gas, $22 for lunch, $13 for a kindle book. I got my stimulus check & sent that to two CC, so that's gone but put to good use. Today should be a no spender.

Agreed that people are stupid.

[Gypsy3n8]

Ners, the PA Gov did mandate masks. I wonder if my company is going to provide them because that's part of his order.

If BL stays the hell home on my work days, I can safely distance from the other staff. She just crowds and it bugs the shit our of me.

Hope the furnace is an easy fix like a fuse or something.

[Gypsy3n8]

OH! The egg roll in a bowl recipe was a hit. DH loved it!

Only thing I did differently was use extra lean ground turkey instead of sausage. We don't do sausage too often.

This recipe is definitely a keeper.

[Hotness77]

Gypsy BL needs to be furloughed.

I hope its an easy fix too. I changed the battery in the thermostat and that didn't work and the code it's blinking is non applicable so who knows. I am guessing its between 15 and 17 years old as we had it put in when I was in beauty school

[Gypsy3n8]

LMAO Ners, BL needs to friggin RETIRE!!

Lord I hope you don't need a new one 😟

[Hotness77]

Either do I!!! And it's too cold right now to be with out it. It's 53 in here right now

Shelly I don't pay a monthly fee for my fit bit. And I can track just about anything with it

[tootles]

Hiya Hots! I’m jealous of those of you that can go into a store. I have a nervous breakdown just picking up an order with no contact at all. If I didn’t have pick up available we would be eating emergency beans and rice by now. Lol. I haven’t been in any store for over 4 weeks and I miss it! My social distancing is more like social isolation which is stupid on my part.

100 people were laid off yesterday. I survived the cut. *hop*

What exactly is AGI? Anyone know what line on the final tax form has that amount? I’m trying to figure out if we will get any stimulus money. I thought we would but when I check, it says status unavailable which can mean we aren’t eligible.

We always owe taxes so we don’t put in bank info for a refund so maybe that could be why status is unavailable. I don’t know. Just don’t want to miss out if we should get it.

Morning hots!

Today should be a no spender - farm box delivery day and I need to figure out dinner and package the ham from Easter for the freezer

Supposed to snow today/tonight and forecasters have said anywhere from 2-10 inches as they can’t tell which way some snow bands will come off the mountain today.

Happy April 😂😂😂😂

[bensgirl1]

Tootles - is there a summary cover sheet on your tax return program output? I know for TurboTax it’s super easy to look at the pages that print or you can save for the AGI info.



Or google says line 37 on a 1040 form

[bensgirl1]

And tootles. Take a deep drop breathe. The chances of transmission via food packaging is minuscule at best.

[Gypsy3n8]

tootles AGI is adjusted gross income. I think it was line 8b on the 2019 1040 form.

Bens, keep your snow in the mountains!!! It snowed here last night but not enough to stick, but it's only 20 here.

[Hotness77]

Tootles go to irs.gov you will have to fill out a form with your info and you will get "check" with in a month they are saying

[Hotness77]

We are suppose to up to 4ins of snow Friday. My poor spring flowers

Well just got a phone call that my Florida snow bird, they are still there thanx to the virus and travel stuff, aunt and uncle tested positive for the virus. My uncle kids who live across from them tested positive and both are in the hospital. They found out as the DIL was having problems do to her acholoism and she got tested then they tested everyone else. Aunt and uncle have no symptoms but they did admit uncle as he is 90 some years old to stay ahead of it

[bensgirl1]

Oh wow Ners - hope they all recover soon.

So far we're leveling off in my county with new cases/admissions/deaths. There were a bunch early on due to old people bridge tournament and then the sick folks spread it to churches etc before they knew they were sick.

[annhtx]

Hey Hotties!

I spent $100 on DH yesterday for a workbench thingy he has been wanting. He is really good to/for me most of the time (haha) and I felt like doing something nice. He's been working on a bunch of projects and I think this will help a lot.

Today was payday, so bills paid and more to sinking funds. I should surpass my goal this month! I guess the no shopping/going to stores is a good thing.
Gyp, how long does it take for us to get our Hamilton Beach stuff? I'm pretty excited.

[Hotness77]

Thanx Bens

We have heat!!! Some switch was bad so they replaced with one that will get us by until the exact 0ne comes in

[Gypsy3n8]

Ners, prayers they all recover well.

Ann, it depends. Usually a couple weeks though. They will send it UPS and you'll get a tracking number when it ships.

Tootles, Bens is right. If you wear your mask and stay away from others, go in and get what you need and get out. The browsers drive me batty.

[Jels]

Morning! I’m off work today and tomorrow so I’m being lazy. No spender yesterday. I’m going to do some yard work as soon as it warms up a little. It’s 57 and sunny now, but heading for 75.

[sheshyone]

tootles ,I used this calculator to estimate how much I would be receiving. It was spot on!

Morning hotts,

Yesterday was a no spender. I forgot to pick up my prescription for the 2nd day in a row. I'll do that tonight so I'm going to make a list since I have to go inside anyway. Who knows what I'll find. I really need to switch to mail order. I've been waiting to do that until my prescription is up for annual renewal (cholesterol meds) but I think they are now renewing automatically.

I do not have a mask, but I have gloves and wipes in my car. I will just wipe down before I get in after shopping.
