The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Expensive food? OK, I can work my way around the problem. A few PB&J sandwiches won’t hurt me.

I won't scrimp on the grocery bill. Dear Husband needs and deserve the best.

Expensive healthcare? Well, at least I have it. I can avoid buying the newest foldable iPhone so I can afford insurance.

A benefit is my former employer supplements our health insurance premium. We never receive a doctor or hospital bill. There is medicaid for low income families and ER.

Expensive housing? My home is paid off. Whew.

Same here.

Expensive gasoline? It sucks, but I’ve got a hybrid. Still stings a bit.

We are a one car family now, My Dear Husband can no longer drive. I do take advantage of free grocery delivery and other items. Saves on gas and time I can’t afford being away from home for a long period of time.
I still buy my meat from the butcher shop I’ve shopped at for years. Don’t like those
wrapped up meat packages piled up in the grocery store meat department.

But the line has been drawn! It is imperative to vote out every Republican national-wide.

Nah, I like our closed borders, ICE rounding up the illegals, our feisty in your face prez
fighting so not to transform our Country into a socialist commie state.

Expensive chocolate??? Outfuckingrageous!!!!!!!!

I tried something different this trick or treat afternoon we had on Sunday, I handed out bags of
potatoes chips and the kids were very happy with it.

Vote the bums out. NOW!!!

Yep, vote out those dem socialist, they don’t belong in America.
