Plastic water bottles have become so thin they can not be easily opened without spilling the water.
Other plastic has become so hard and thick it can be dangerous to open and I find tin snips the tool of choice.
OK, I know I am getting old and losing hand strength but I got some peppermint candy the other day that the plastic rapper on each piece required tools to remove.

Not all is lost. Guitars still come in nicely made cases that are easy to open. Boxes of 40 caliber ammo for my Sig P226 have not changed. Even the supposed “child proof” medicine bottles have been reworked so they are not “adult proof”.

Now concerning promotions. The music software companies such as easykeys send me email on an almost daily basis. Berklee Online should know by now after three zillion emails I am not interested.
Don’t all these music software companies know that it is fishing season and don’t have time to look at their stuff?
I really have no desire to know my credit score on a daily basis. And speaking of credit, why would American Express increase my credit limit by another $10,000 without my permission? They must be aware that my wife has a card on my account.

And another thing, any of you notice how much.....

Cheers

Billy

What I love are the commercials where one party is complaining about how they are maxed out of their credit cards, and the monthly bills just arrived and they need money......Then the announcer says,,,,,,, Tapped out but need money quick? Get $3000 instantly on your phone.... just log on to www.be-a-sucker.com and we'll help bury you deeper in debt than you were last week.

Borrow your way out of debt? Sounds like the plan of those who have us $35 TRILLION in debt and counting.

OR..... the gizmo that's designed to easily cut open those hard shell blister packs that comes neatly packaged in a hard shell blister pack.

And I totally hear you on the adverts that come in via email and annoyingly on my Farcebook feed. I'm not interested just because I clicked on something by mistake.

I am joking about my wife and the credit card
She can have anything she wants
We don’t owe anyone anything
I use credit cards mostly for the boat and the business or stuff I order online

Today I got four emails from the same company trying to get me to get more credit card and two more from EZkeys

What I need is skilled labor, so where do I get that?

Oh well, I got to get off the phone and drive to Miami to pick up a new gen set for the boat
It only weighs 500 lbs so I should be able to move that around without help…right…lol

Skilled? In 2024? Surely, sir, you jest!!!

When was the last time you bought anything and the receipt didn't say "We are hiring"? Nobody wants to work.


I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.

1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.
