POG Pub 2022: Tolerance; Hope; And **** Covid (nsfw; nc; lc) - Page 10

I think he did and talked about it before.

Earns cash and chips at the casino.

Nothing regular.

Pays for everything in cash.

Probably keeps his net worth in a box at the casino instead of a bank.

Seems reasonable on Costco's part.

Currently assembling a piece of flat pack furniture, shoutout to this random Chinese company whose directions are approximinately 168% easier to follow than your typical Ikea instruction sheet. Well done and kudos.

Also: Even though this one is super easy I'm too old for this ****. Next time I'm paying someone to do it for me.

I always found it kind of fun. I'll do it for $30.

Always use a power screwdriver.

However, I also admit. there is a certain "enjoyable feeling" telling my kids to assemble their own dorm furniture.

Yes. Something most people like to have in their home.

And it's not a 10k bed, it's a 0.069k bookcase.

I go thru 2 or 3 bags of HEB jalapeno kettle chips a week, they're a hot green blast of South Texas deliciousity (and only $2.33).

And each chip really is bright green, honestly I think they're beautiful.

COVID is raging through my home

First my oldest daughter, she already is back into civilization. Then my son, tuesday he can come out of quarantine.
Today my wife and youngest daughter also tested positive.

Only one resisting, for now, is me

It is more annoying than it is threatening. Symptoms have been light

That's a whole lot. We are all vaccinated, me and my wife have had our third. Also my dad was 79 with a heart condition and got COVID before there were vaccins. He was back home in a week. That's good news for his descendants, I assume.

I'm semi-retired from Wordle after getting it correct the handful of times I played. Just didn't keep my interest. Kinda suspect based on that the NYT is flushing their money away but good for the person that created it, hope you got CASH MONEY.
