Woman said "I never use coupons"

 when I was standing in line at the old United Super grocery store at Robandee Center
way back in the late 1990s

I wonder what happened to that woman.. never knew her name or her at all.

I remember she had some expensive single serving size bottles of flavored beer/liquor. She had dyed blonde peroxide short hair. Her skin looked like old leather with a fake tan. She wore shorts, flashy jewelry and cowboy boots. Her face had quite a bit of makeup. 

So me, Miss Money conscious thrifty one with a coupon holder, had lots of food items that were on sale. My grocery cart was half full of good stuff to eat like meat, vegetables, fruit, eggs and bread. I stood behind her in line. She turned around, looked at me then at the cashier and said, "I never use coupons!" As if she made the wisest, smartest comment in the world about her decisions on how to spend her money.

Porn is doled out ot teenaged boys who want and desire sex and dont have a woman.

Porn is doled out ot teenaged boys who want and desire sex and dont have a woman.

It is often introduced to vulnerable young males approaching or in puberty during

adolescence.

Many males continue on with this money market racket of

pornography and become obsessed with it

until the day they die. 

The world and society seize the opportunity to make

tons of money off of this knowledge of the instinctual male desire to procreate 

every day.

When taken out of context the obession can cause a twisted view of women, girls,

females in general and some men will see and view the opposite gender as 

merely a sex object.  

These men can become verbally and physically 

abusive to females in general, think they girls are just mere "playtoys",

a toy the play with and not an individual person. 


Her feelings, thoughts,

wants, needs, goals are not considered and do not matter because he

views her as a material object that he believes he can own and control.


He believes his attitude and behavior is the norm,  "normal", general,

respectable view of women and that this is how he is "supposed' to act

and be. He thinks that all red blooded males are this way so he

justifies his behavior in all aspects and sees nothing wrong with what he

says or does regarding anything in his life. 


He may view his girlfriend, wife, virtually any female anywhere as an

object put into the same category of things he wants and things he

owns like cars, trucks, houses, appliances, furniture, tools-- any

material physical thing imaginable.


He might believe she is just like a piece of machinery or equipment he

can take apart, change, manipulate, control and do whatever he wants

with at any time or place without any regard for the fact the he is

dealing with a live human being with their own feelings and emotions

and preferences.


He might think he can "get" any female to "cooperate" and do whatever

he wants. Some men believe they can do this by giving the female some

money or a material object. Some men think if they do something

for a woman such as some kind of work or service then she

"owes" him any sexual favor he wants from her.


Some males skip over all of the giving of

anything and niceties and feel outright entitled to take what they want

which is sex in any form and procede to kidnap, rape/raping, torture,

humiliation, bondage, sadism, masochism, any kind of perverted or 

supposedly normal 

activity. Some guys have gone over the deep end into this belief system

and will murder, kill, cut up, chop up, beat up their victim(s).

Some guys believe in slavery as if any person they want is to be their

slave and they are the master of this person, denying any right of self

to the individual.

The best investment is in yourself.

Several years ago my son asked me what I thought he should invest in
(to make money).

My answer: "Invest in yourself. That is the best thing you have."

It is the only thing you temporarily own for your entire life in your body.

Living cheap How to live cheap How I survive in poverty

Living cheap How to live cheap How I survive in poverty

Tracfone one of the cheapest and most reliable cell phone carriers around
(100-135 per year)

No magazine subscriptions

No movie rentals

No monthly subscriptions

No cable tv

Don't go to the movies/theater/drive-in picture shows

Buy most clothes and any items used/previously owned  at thrift stores

Progressive auto insurance is very inexpensive

Do your own repairs: house, cars, lawn care, cleaning, maintenance

Grocery shop: buy basic staples on sale

Groceries: avoid prepared food, processed, junk snack items and drinks

Cook your own food

Avoid eating out. If you eat out,  use coupons and/or go to fast food restaurants

Pick up junk stuff off the side of the road

Pick up aluminum cans anytime you see them and take them to recycling
place for cash

Keep up with yourself not the Jones' or the neighbors

Buy the most basic things you need to get the job done
examples
if a 30 dollar cell phone does all that you need why buy a 700 dollar phone?
a 2 dollar bottle of shampoo cleans your hair well why spend 35 dollars?
a 60 dollar printer works fine why buy a 600 model
a 2 or 3000 dollar used car is dependable and gets you around why buy a fancy car for 35 thousand?

I will be so happy when this 50 plus year old carpet is removed out of my bedroom in this house.

I will be so happy when this 50 plus year old carpet is removed out of my bedroom in this house.
It is old, dirty, filthy, not cleanable, rotten, disgusting, moldy, full of germs, microbes,
particles of everything imaginable embedded into its sickening self.

I have been asking my husband for his "permission" to get rid of this carpeting for over 20 years.
"Permission" I say because whatever I start to physically do he takes immediate control and
stops me from doing it if he doesn't agree with what I want to do.

He is reluctant to do it because of the fear of what he might find in the condition of the floor and
because he knows not only does the floor need to be replaced, the entire bedroom--
ceiling, walls, floors and windows needs to be gutted out and replaced with new materials.

As usual, it's all about the money. It's not about my health, what I want or my well-being.

This room and this house keeps me continually sick. Carpeting, rugs, inadequate ventilation,
no attic, no furnace, no central air conditioning (just 3 window a/c units), water coming in
the partial basement areas when it rains all contribute to mold, mildew and who knows what
else.

No partner/spouse is ever good enough for him or his siblings, cousins, uncles, aunts, mother

 all of them criticized, condemned, threatened, got into fights with any person they had an intimate relationship with that is their family ...
