Honestly when @perez.patricia said it makes the total feel real, I felt that. Tbh I hit my 50th payment last month and realized I've basically paid for a fancy espresso machine every month for four years, but I don't even own one.

Nah, it wasn't just that. She's lived there for years and gave me the real rundown on the traffic and the cost of everything. It made me actually look at my budget again. Her take just added a layer I hadn't considered before.

A garden hose is not even close to being up to code, that's insane. The UV from sunlight would break that plastic down so fast. It's pure luck it didn't start a fire or melt onto the cable. Someone really just had a hose lying around and went for it, lmao. The fact they dated it is the best part, like they were proud of that work.

Honestly, I was right there with you on the meal kit hate. Felt like paying extra for someone to measure your spices. Then my sister had a baby and sent me a free Blue Apron box so she'd get credit. The chicken dish was shockingly good, and I've made the pan sauce from that recipe like five times since. Sometimes convenience teaches you a trick.
