> [@MeanOldLady](#): > > Jesus, babies and pets are expensive. Remind me never to buy any. No shit. Funny enough, people are always asking me where I got my son. He takes after his dad - his skin is very dark, has has dimples and a cleft chin, and otherwise looks nothing like me. I usually tell them that I got him on sale at the supermarket. He was half off. ---

Today Car Wash - $9 Subway for 5 - $30ish Yesterday McDonalds - $6 Vietnamese Food - $10 Jiffy Lube (sigh…) - $60 Not sure which days, but I know what I paid for. Cash - $4 (friend made me pinch in gas money) Carl’s Jr pre-fishing breakfast for 2 - $8 Wylies (fishing lures, Krocadiles) - $25 Fishing Rod (an excellent deal!) - $150 Spent 300 more dollars at the Fred Hall Show (a fishing show) Yeah I like fishing. But I’ve been very low on cash because of that damn show. I actually ended up spending less then I wanted too but the rod I resisted the impulse buy because I can get the rod (Dobyns Champion Extreme DX 701C) at a discount if I look/wait. That did allow me to spend an extra $100 on some discontinued lures though. ---
