Not only do I find my morning dump being much better but my health and strength are growing also . It did cost me personally though as I had to volunteer to do the immense pile of dishes from this mornings cube steak smothered in speltz gravy with home fried red skins and two free range eggs . I plan on living large through the entire coming Great Depression . No bugs for me thank you Greta . robehr orinskynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-41890263294398097272022-09-24T21:07:10.964-04:002022-09-24T21:07:10.964-04:00took a weekend trip to a favorite haunt. the same ...took a weekend trip to a favorite haunt. the same room that was 200 bucks last year was 104 dollars. of course the 29 dollar entree was 45 bucks this time. riverridernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-41529766348961144872022-09-24T17:44:10.445-04:002022-09-24T17:44:10.445-04:00That it does...That it does...Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-60019147309846779222022-09-24T13:48:19.338-04:002022-09-24T13:48:19.338-04:00ERJ, and that was right as inflation was really ta...ERJ, and that was right as inflation was really taking off. Add in costs all the way up the line, and things get serious.<br /><br />This is only a personal, non-statistical observation, but dinners are up about 30% since 2020 (and yes, to answer the question, my salary did not go up that much). What that has resulted in - as you suggest - is us going to out to dinner a lot less, and even when we go out, being a lot more selective about where we go. I am highly unlikely to gamble on a restaurant that is not something I am sure I will enjoy if I am paying a great deal more.<br /><br />That, or I am just going to avoid the experience entirely.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.com
