I received our next electric bill. $109 - and that's a/c in the whole house. Yay! I will be very interested to see how the winter months bills are, but according to our hvac guy, they should be similar.
We got rid of the old couch, finally, for $25. A lady in the next town over wanted it and sent her kids to pick it up. OMG. LOL. 3 of them show up in an old jeep cherokee. How to get the full size couch in? They put the back seats down, shoved it in the back, with 1/4 of it hanging out. They at least had some straps, but then where to put the 3rd person? LOL. Somehow one of the guys crawled in back on top of the couch. At least it is gone and no longer taking up space in our shop and we didn't have to take it to the dump.
The savings on my cell phone bill is going to be $5.25 a month, from the discount with our new payroll company. Better than nothing! When I have time I'm going to search through some of the other discounts offered and see if I can take advantage of anything else.
As soon as we got out of the mountains on the drive home, and got data on our phone back, I posted a few pics of the wedding on Facebook. When we got home DH did, too. We are active on Facebook, mostly with sharing just personal type stuff. Neither of us are much for posting meme's and sharing other stuff (especially political), like some people do. We are Facebook friends with DD's new MIL. She makes numerous posts per day....all political. It's actually quite annoying, to me. Once in a while she'll post something personal. Whether a facebook friend is conservative or liberal, I find the onslaught of a bunch of posts a day, to be highly annoying. I usually just unfollow them. We have a few friends that do that - it's like they have nothing better to do than share political post after post. Give it a rest. Do you find it odd, that since DD's MIL has been home from the wedding she didn't post one picture or make a post about the wedding, but she shared a picture of one of her dogs? I guess I do find it odd, LOL. I mean, I know her life is pretty consumed with her political agenda, but dang. If you can post all that political crap on Facebook, you can congratulate your son and new DIL, right? I was very surprised she was able to keep her politics to herself all weekend, LOL. I noticed that whenever she was sitting her leg is constantly bouncing. I glanced around at every one else and they are all relaxed legs.
Anyhow, to each is own, I guess. The newlyweds are enjoying their honeymoon. They've sent some pics via text and are enjoying the scenery and wildlife. I think they are going to a big rodeo later in the week. Our little town fair/rodeo is coming up soon. We'll have to try to go again. We didn't go last summer, since we were getting ready to move to the shop.
Be careful, as she might find your blog. Pictures for your blog? I cannot wait to see them.
ReplyDeletesorry, no pics of the wedding. Since my blog is anonymous, I've never shared people pics.
DeleteI don't post photos of my kids or grandkids on Facebook....deliberately. If they want their photo or their kids photos all over the internet they will post it themselves...to me it's a matter of personal privacy. I didn't post any photos of either wedding, neither has anyone else that I am friends with on Facebook. Just too many creeps out there!
ReplyDeletegood point! but, I knew dd would be posting pics as soon as she could get phone service again (and she did). Plus we all share lots of friends in common on FB. I only have 81 friends and 42 are her friends too. All of us do have our FB pages set to private, so only friends can see what is posted.
DeleteI will only post a pic of my kids and granddaughter if they have already been posted by them. The exception is sharing Son3 and DIL3's professional posts. They are both musicians and frequently post snippets and links to their music.I do share all of those
ReplyDeleteI'm in agreement about grandkids pics (if I had any LOL). Young ones don't have FB and should be up to the parents if they want pics posted, though I figure my adult kid is fair game, haha. She has FB and posts pics often, so if I occasionally share one of her, no big deal to either of us.
DeleteI completely agree with you in regards to sharing pictures of family and friends. If they want their pictures out there, that is up to them.
ReplyDeleteAs for your daughter's new MIL, kind of strange that she is so focused on politics rather than her son's wedding. Hopefully they are at least memes and posts that your daughter and SIL can agree with. Not to long ago, I saw a post about a Trump themed wedding. Now (IMO) that would be something totally appropriate to share. Lol
she is super focused on politics (like it's her main focus in life, pretty much), which is hard for DD, because #1, DD isn't much into politics and #2, DD is very conservative, haha. I have conservative FB friends who overload with that viewpoint too, and that is too much. I'm mostly interested in people's personal stuff or sharing cute animal stuff, LOL.
DeleteRants and political posts are cause for me to immediately unfollow people on FB. I actually hate the rants more. A distant relative blasted the photographer of her wedding. I unfollowed her at that. So annoying!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I only enjoy FB for the positive posts. I want to see people happy with their family, friends, and pets. We have one friend who does post quite a bit of political, but it's not stuff that bashes and puts down the other side. It's mostly just stuff on policies he supports, which isn't quite as annoying, at least. Or the friends that are suddenly selling stuff and every other post is "buy my diet stuff" or whatever they are selling. I unfollow them, too. We've been following our son's now ex gf's posts. Oh lordy. Hard to believe this is stuff from a 39 year old adult! People need to filter their lives a bit more. No one cares about every little thought that is popping out of their head, haha.
