Definitely. I sometimes go to the convenience store and spend as much on a few snacks as what I used to spend for a week's worth of grocery!

Welp!

These are all excellent ideas. I know I am certainly trying to use quite a few of those tactics myself. 1,2,8,10,12,13. Probably need to start doing 9,11. And I'm definitely planning on cutting a lot of my subscriptions like netflix, hbomax etc.

I feel ya. I used to go to the grocery store and spend $50 or $60 and have a lot of food. Now that's just enough to get snacks or food for the evening!

Try to plan ahead just in case. It's always better to be ready and not need to be than to not be ready and need to be!

Yeah I am definitely trying to watch my spending. I honestly was being lazy and eating out a lot. I have started trying to cook at home more. It's a lot healthier, cheaper and let's face it I cook better too. Ain't a fast food restaurant that can out do authentic Louisiana cooking!

I'm pretty certain I don't recall inflation being this bad during my adult life. I don't think I remember a point where it has been this bad even when I was a child. I feel like Joe Biden and the Democrats have failed the country and more specifically failed the black community. I've always...

Yeah I'd say he over reacted. My wife is like that. When she is asleep she doesn't want to be bothered. She will literally be like "Just wait until I wake up and I'll blow your mind but don't mess with me right now!" It's always worth the wait!

What would anyone have to gain by tricking us into thinking that the Earth is a sphere if it wasn't? If there were some kind of financial benefit then I get it, but why trick us just for the sake of doing so? Example when people try to build cars that run off alternate sources like solar...

Ended up working from home for a while. Since I am a nurse I eventually took advantage of the situation and signed up for a lot of overtime. I used that money to get myself a house. Remember always use those lemons to make lemonade!

I'm pretty much the same. I was never forced to go as a child. My parents went on a infrequent basis! They left it up to me if I wanted to go with them or not. I respect my parents for always allowing me to make my own decsions. They let me know their view and if I disagreed they left me to do...

One of the things that really grinds my: I think most black people after a certain point can just feel out racism. You can tell when a person is racist. You can just feel the energy that they put out in the world. As for me I have it down to a point where I can tell if the person is racist and...

I notice a trend on YouTube. It seems like if you are listening to the major media channels like MSNBC or CNN the video plays through without interruption. It can be a 20-minute video and almost no commercial interruption. If you listen to anything that is black empowerment there is a lot of ad...

That's exactly what I'm thinking. If I take time for myself and give my mind and body a break more often then I will be a lot more productive and less likely to have burn out! That's a real problem in the nursing field. People hit burn out and just don't want to do it. That's why there is such...

Chantelle Simone pointed this out in one of her podcasts. I can't necessarily disagree. This isn't something that is specific to one race but women tend to fall into one of two categories. The 3 Fs. Fit, Feminine and Friendly or The 3 Ms. Massive, Masculine and Mean

I'm trying to put my annual leave days off around federal holidays. Like if I had a 3 day weekend that includes a holiday then I take 2 day off in front of that and 2 days off behind it. I end up being off for 7 days in a row but only used 4 days of leave.

I was talking to a physician who is a co-worker. I don't get to talk to her often because she works on a different pod. She was telling me that she uses her leave in smaller amounts spread throughout the year! I reviewed my own annual leave in congruence with my holidays off! I found that if I...

I was away from the site for a while. I was on vacation. I took a week away and went out of state and went to visit my parents. It was a fun time. Got to eat a lot of great Louisiana cooking and spend some time with my family. I'll be posting again more regularly! Glad to be back fam!

As for me, I am prochoice. My wife is anti abortion. Myself personally would never want my wife or daughters to have an abortion other than in case of rape or if the child would be born with a birth defect. Where me and my wife disagree is that she doesn't think there is any exception at all...
