FINANCIALLY FIT HOTTIES FRIDAY june 4

[Hotness77]

Morning

[Hotness77]

Yesterday was what I posted plus 50 to a fundraiser for a gf at work that was in a super bad motorcycle accident

Today groceries

Tootles the only thing "new" that I have smoked was homemade jalapeno cheddar burgers. We actually smoke our burgers and brats now. They only take 2 hours. I really need to work on some wings as that's my biggest failure right now

Yay for raises

[Jels]

Morning, Ners, and ATF! Yesterday was a no spender. Today should be, too.

[tootles]

Good morning hotties. Happy Friday.

I've never had a smoked burger but would love to try one.

Is it 5:00 yet?

I need to pick up a few cases of water. I don't think I'm going to buy Kroger water anymore. It's the cheapest but the bottles keep cracking and leaking. It's hard to hold the bottles because they crush under the weight of your hand.

Morning ladies.

Hotness77, yikes! Prayers that your friend heals soon

Jels, you're rocking the no spenders already this month!

tootles, hope you can get the 4 day work week

bensgirl1, YAY for a nice raise!

Azflamingo22, Cabelas and Bass Pro are the same company now. I think Bass Pro bought out Cabelas.

More data to move through today. We have 1 early shift chemist and 3 regular shift chemists here today. It's going to be nice and quiet, I hope.

But the 2 new people that started 2 weeks ago STILL aren't training on anything because BL can't get her stuff together and won't let them do anything but read random crap until they have their plant tour next Wednesday. How dumb is that?! She doesn't know how to manage anything. It's pitiful, but I'm not cluing her in - just validating data and making the staff schedule.

Morning Hotties:
Yesterday was $73 for flowers for my friend. Last night I was in the process of picking up the phone to call her to complain about the clothes on our soap opera before I realized it. We talk 2-3 times a week.
NO spender today.
CB, glad you have stopped doing stuff BL should have thought of.
Bens, surprise raises are always nice. Means someone is actually thinking of you.
Tootles, I would prefer 3 days on and 4 off so you can go places.
Scarlett, cute new pic.
Ann, nice job on WWering. I never thought an interview was fun. Hated them.
Happy Friday to all. I am going out to lunch with two friends and then to the pool if the rain holds off. I did get in yesterday, but only for about 20 min before I thought it was getting too dark and lightening could come in on us....it didn't.
Happy National Cheese Day!

[Hotness77]

Tootles they are the bomb!!! 2 hours at 225.

Also Aquafina and Dasani water bottles are the same way. It sucks

[bensgirl1]

TGIF hots!

So sorry about your friend SherryD.

I get my water from Costco and their bottles are flimsy but not as bad as the Kroger ones seem to have gotten. Of course I drink flavored perrier in plastic bottles by the 2 pack so those are much sturdier. but I have been having to order from Amazon all the time now since no stores around me carry flavored 24 packs anymore it seems.

[Gypsy3n8]

So much for a quiet day! I'm running around like crazy here.

sherrydorlando2, sorry about your friend

Hi Hotts,

Yesterday was a no spender.

Work is still busy. I don't really get much down time between tax deadlines anymore.

[bensgirl1]

FREAKING HOLYHELLBALLS

SO DH talks to the inlaws today and FIL is talking like he wants to come out for just a couple days - IN LIKE 2 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MIL is trying to talk him out of it since it would be *alot* of driving for them for just a few days here since we go to Mexico end of the month.

Oy.

My brother left this morning 😥, but in a way it's nice to have my house and privacy back. Yesterday he took me grocery shopping and I spent $57.52. My sister bought me a case of Publix water, and their bottles are flimsy too.

Yesterday I had to remove the adhesive bandage from my chest incision. 😧 I did it while I was standing in the shower to sort of soften it up. My body is black, blue, yellow, and green with bruises from shots, IVs, drains, etc.

I'm having a lot of difficulty eating vegetables. They taste like dirt. Fruit is pretty much OK. Bread is kind of iffy. Tastes very "earthy".

[Gypsy3n8]

squid, safe travels for your brother. Prayers for speedy healing.

sheshyone, work sucks

bensgirl1, YIKES on the inlaws!

[Azflamingo22]

Hotties!

Things are moving forward. The truck is ready to be picked up. Should be around $100.  At long last the trailer will be ready Monday.
DH wants to pick it up, bring it home and start loading before we take it to the other shop. I'm thinking we should leave it until Tuesday morning when we could take it right to the brake shop. Logistics. It's what I do.

And of course I just got all the plans to be in Missouri for Father's Day moved to the 4th of July. 

DH is having a stress test this morning so it will all depend on what the cardiologist says.

DH offered to buy dinner. I think I'll have him get the all you can eat fish. He can have the dinner. I'll make a salad and have some shrimp from the extra he'll get. Save us $15.  I don't need the fries, carrots or soup anyway.

AND, I killed seven. Yes, seven mosquitos in my bathroom yesterday. There is another in there one today. So far I have missed it. I just had one in the kitchen, too. I have no clue where they are all coming from. DH thinks they come in on the cats. But that many?


squid , When you talked about your hospital bill. It took almost a year for all the bills to get worked out by the insurance before I got any kind of a bill.  I'm not sure if you have Medicare? That takes extra time, too.

Hbeloo hots


I can’t seem to get out of bed or keep my eyes open
I’ve been sleeping the days away all weekend

[Jels]

Bens, Boo on inlaws and sudden unplanned visits. That would drive me crazy.

Squid, sorry your brother had to leave but sounds like you're doing very well. I can only imagine how bruised you are and hope you heal soon!

AZ, could you put one of those sticky fly strips up somewhere? I bought some because flies come in through my dog door, but no flies ever got stuck on it.

[Jels]

Shel, it's not the weekend. lol When do you go back to work? How is your shoulder?

[squid]

Azflamingo22, my primary insurance is thru my employer (State of TN) and Medicare Part A is my secondary. I'm assuming it's going to take a while to get everything sorted out. I think I've been billed for all the pre-op stuff.

[Gypsy3n8]

spicy, feel better!

DANG, I worked my tail off the last 2 days. Time to head home, crack a beer and relax. It's going to be gorgeous here - mid to upper 80s and sunny, so I foresee some pool time! Have a great weekend!

 I think that may be backwards, but you know your system. Medicare was primary for my hospital stays. I pay for the Medicare part B and then my ST of AZ insurance usually covers the doctor appts and tests. It took for ever to get everything worked out. I got an ER bill. When I called and gave them the information she said just ignore everything until we deal with Medicare. Never got another bill. It all worked out. The hospital was very easy to deal with. I think they are happy to have people actually offer to pay rather than complain about the bill, or not pay at all.
