Neck tattoo: They had seen the movie From Dusk till Dawn, and a character had a tattoo going up to his neck. For years and years they always wanted a tattoo like this. They are a big Quentin Tarantino fan. They woke up one morning and got the tattoo. They started to add more and more to it. When they are at work, bored, or on lunch break they add to the tattoo. They kind of do it just because they like the pain from the healing. They keep adding more to the tattoo.

Save Money on Your BJs Experience

bjs wholesale

I don’t get any money if you sign up for BJ’s. I have been a BJ’s member for years.  I have done my cost comparisons to Costco. I think as far as price they are about even; though BJs does win by a little. I would not sign up for both.

I have been getting a BJ’s corporate discount for a long time. This would normally give me a couple of extra months, and a slightly cheaper price. The person assigned to do this either isn’t doing it anymore, or either they just got tired of responding to me. So I stopped getting that discount.

I called up BJ’s the month I needed to renew. I just told them I want a lower price. I did not explain why. I got moved to several people, but in under 15 minutes,  I got an additional month and $10 off of the renewal price.

If your a BJ’s shopper let me know if you can do better. If you can do even better at Costco, let me know. Thank you!

Nauthiz the rune of need

Posted by on April 13, 2019 No comments

Nauthiz is the 10th rune in the Elder Futhark. Phonetically, it is an “n.” It is the second rune in Heimdal’s Aett. This rune appears to be connected to the Norns.

The spelling is Nauthiz, Naudhiz, Naudiz, or Naudr. I am spelling it the way it reads on my pendant, and the way I pronounce it is Nauthiz.

Nauthiz is the rune of need. If you are cold you need fire to keep you warm. This is not a want. This should also not be used in a love spell.

In a reading:
Need or primal need
What in life is not worth living without
Bring the future into existence
short-term pain for long-term gain
Life lessons
Urgency

Upside Down:
Not a big deal
if you don’t do it, will not break you
If you don’t get or do it, it will be ok
Not a need

I am not sure how wearing and focusing on this rune will affect this month. I’m hoping I will fix things that need to be fixed for a long-term gain.

Insane Gump

Insane Clown Posse Tattoo

Insane Clown Posse tattoo: They got the tattoo in memory of one of their best friends that passed away in Afghanistan. The friend had the same tattoo in his arm. If it was not for this friend they would not have gotten into Insane Clown Posse. They grew up together in middle and high school. While they were waiting to get the tattoo, they noticed that Forest Gump was on TV. Every time their friend was at a party or got drunk, he wanted to watch Forest Gump. It was his favorite scene that was playing. Then they knew the friend knew they were getting this tattoo. The friend was also giving them shit, because they did not change the color on anything on the tattoo.

Get Stock with Bumped!

Posted by on April 1, 2019 No comments

Here is my link to try Bumped.

Bumped is an amazing thrifty idea. It was my trigger to start writing thrifty blog posts. Once you are approved, you give them access to your credit cards. You also make some loyalty selections for restaurants/places that you shop at often. When you buy anything from a company you have selected, you get a partial stock. For instance, if you spend $250 at Home Depot, you get $2.50 in Home Depot stock. If you spend $3.00 at Taco Bell, you get $0.06 in YUM stock. If the stock pays dividends you get these as well for the partial share that you own.

You must make loyalty selections. For instance, you must choose between Target and Walmart. You can change your mind but they limit how often you can do this.

Here are the current loyalty choices:
Burgers: McDonald’s, Jack in the Box, Wendy’s
Coffee: Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks
Drug Stores: CVS, Walgreens
Family Dining: Applebee’s, Chili’s, Olive Garden, Red Robin
Grocery: Kroger
Home Improvement: Home Depot
Mexican Food: Taco Bell, Chipotle
Music: Spotify, Pandora
Pizza: Domino’s, Papa John’s, Pizza Hut
Telecommunications: AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon
Superstores: Target, Walmart
Video Subscriptions: Netflix, Sling TV
Vineyards: Willamette Valley Vineyards

This is the type of thing you can ignore for a year, and then find you have a lot of stock in a couple of companies. I will now be shopping more at Walmart.

Let me know what you think.
