This and That

November 13th, 2006 at 02:10 am

I have the turkey stock simmering on the stove and it is filling the house with a wonderful aroma. I also have turkey legs roasting in the oven and we will be having mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans with it for dinner tonight. I am making enough so that I don't have to cook tomorrow for dinner. I still feel yucky.

We went out for lunch today. I honestly could not face the idea of cooking earlier so I took the kids through drive-thru and spent $9.39 to feed the 3 of us. Had to drive 20 miles to get to the nearest drive-thru also. Not great. It did however give me the quarter I needed to roll a roll of quarters up, so that with the roll of pennies will be $10.50 deposited tomorrow into the savings account for the extra credit card payment.

Tomorrow I have to try to remember to call the phone company and drop our long distance service. It is only $3.33 a month, which is $39.96 a year, but we don't use it so it is wasted money. I always use my Costco calling card when I do call long distance, so there is really no point at all in having it. I wonder if that'll reduce the taxes and surcharges any at all? Probably just a few cents if it does.

Laundry room still isn't done. I am studiously ignoring it right now. Maybe tomorrow.

    getting rid of the LD plan fee should reduce your FUSF (federal universal survice fee) plus any state USF if you live in an area that has one. also, FET(federal exise tax), state and local sales taxes should go down a bit too.

    all in all, you might loose $0.50 in taxes & surcharges.

    wow, amazing what i remember considering the phone company laid me off in june! Big Grin

    Sometimes you just need that break from cooking a meal! We are a ways away from fast food too which is probably good!

    Sorry to hear you are feeling yucky! Hope you feel better soon!
