It's not often that I receive a parking ticket. Wait... let me rephrase that... It's not often enough that I receive a parking ticket. Here's how parking should work for me, if it were a perfect world. In a perfect world, I would feel completely safe leaving my car in the parking garage two blocks … Continue reading A Tale of Two Parking Citations
Money
Question of the Week #319
If what you owned had no bearing on what people thought of you, would you spend your money differently? Absolutely not. Because I'm 100% certain that nothing I own has anything to do with what anyone thinks of me. It's not as if I have lots of money and I try to show off by … Continue reading Question of the Week #319
Penny
Because today is Lucky Penny Day, our Sunday Scribblings prompt for this week is Penny. If you decide to write a post based on this week’s prompt, be sure to go back here and share your link so everyone can see how you interpreted things! Here’s what I did with it… The penny laid on the sidewalk throughout … Continue reading Penny
Question of the Week #263
For $30,000 would you go for 2 months without washing, brushing your teeth, shampooing, or even using deodorant? Assume you can't tell anyone why. Seems like this would have been super easy to accomplish in 2020 while everyone was on lock down at home, desperate to avoid COVID-19. Now that we're all making our way … Continue reading Question of the Week #263
Question of the Week #206
Would you be willing to eat a bowl of live crickets for $40,000? Heck yes I would. Actually, I say that... But I also think it's kind of gross when I watch people like Rhett & Link eat bugs for the sake of entertainment. I think I could do it, though. No, $40,000 isn't, in … Continue reading Question of the Week #206
Dropping Out
This might be a political post. But I'd like to keep things as un-political as possible. Because I hate politics. I was watching the news this morning and saw the report stating that Senator Kamala Harris has dropped out of the presidential race citing a lack of campaign funds. And it kind of made me … Continue reading Dropping Out
Question of the Week #199
You are given $1,000,000 to donate anonymously to charity or to a stranger. How would you dispose of it? At the moment, I'd go ahead and give it to my church. We're in the process of building our own ministry center after 18 years of meeting in a middle school. Raising the money for this … Continue reading Question of the Week #199
Unexpected Provision
Quick show of hands... How many of you, out there, spend time in prayer? I'm not just talking about when you're in the car and you nearly miss sideswiping or rear-ending someone in traffic and you shout a short, "Thank God I missed that car!" I mean... How many of you sit down and purposefully … Continue reading Unexpected Provision
Question of the Week #180
For $1 million, would you be willing to never again see or speak to your best friend? I don't think so, no. While $1 million is a great deal of money, it's not really all that much in the scheme of things. Money is fleeting. But a true friendship, like the kind I would expect … Continue reading Question of the Week #180
Broke as a Joke
It's humbling to watch that beautiful new paycheck containing your brand new salary as it suddenly dwindles down to nothing. I'm not trying to say that I was foolhardy with my paycheck. No... In fact, I started out being pretty wise about how my newfound wealth was to be spent and/or saved. See, I've gone … Continue reading Broke as a Joke
