yeah but okay daniel you're not wrong but also $500 a month is like "i was buying truffle oil and imported butter" territory lol. i feel called out because i definitely did the whole foods thing once and then acted shocked my budget was blown. and honestly half the time i swap brands and it's fine but then i buy store brand shredded cheese and it's like eating plastic so it's a gamble you know. the salt/sugar thing is real too, some of those no name brands are basically just trying to kill you with sodium. but hey if you're just switching from like, name brand pasta to the store one you're not getting rich, you're just not going broke as fast lol.

Forty minutes is forty minutes, though. I had a guy do the exact same thing - showed up super late to a coffee date on Third Street, told me his dog got sick. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, we dated for two months, and it turned out he was just chronically late to everything. His mom's medical scare could be totally legit, but that's the kind of detail that's really easy to lie about on a third date when you're trying to cover your tracks. Garlic bread and tiramisu are nice and all, but the foundation is shaky if someone can't even send a text when they're running late to the hospital. Maybe it worked out this time, but personally I'd be side-eyeing the next date hard.

I took photos of every room after the '21 freeze, even inside closets and cabinets. It made the insurance claim way easier because I had proof of my old water heater model and the brand of flooring ruined by the burst pipe. I also shot a quick video walking through the house narrating what was where. The adjuster said that was the most organized file he'd seen all month.
