The divorce is nearly complete

[susandennis]

The Costco divorce, that is.  I went back this afternoon to get more cupcakes and they didn't have any.  They had another kind, not the kind I wanted.  Turns out, according to a guy in the bakery, sometimes they have them and sometimes they don't.  i left and thought, while I'm there, I should get gas if the line wasn't too long.  The line wasn't too long but, turns out, I can't buy gas there.  They don't accept cash or my ATM card.  My membership ends at the end of the month.  I may make one last run in a few weeks but I think we're done.

I did pass by the cellphone booth at Costco.  I was hopping to get a chatty salesman interested in talking deal but, turns out I am invisible.  Oh well.  Just as well, actually.

Now that I know what new phone I want, it's hard not to buy it.  I really really really don't need a new  phone.  I would like some data speed.  Sprint's one bit per hour is getting on my last nerve.  But it looks like the cheapest plan on the other carriers is still $30 more than what I'm paying now. Fast bits cost.  Sigh. I'm not ready to plunk down bucks for a phone I don't need on Sprint.

Betty says it's time for dinner. I say no dinner before 5.  She says it's 5 somewhere.

Odd that it didn't take your ATM card. "The Gas Station is entirely self-serve, with pay-at-the-pump technology. We accept: American Express, most PIN Debit Cards, Costco Credit, and Costco Cash Cards."

Our machines say 'cash not accepted - only these cards' and then it shows 6 cards, none of which i have/want.

I don't know about the gas at Costco, but I do know that you can buy pharmacy items, alcohol and eye exams without a membership.

And, you can even get a "day pass."

I think for you, it would be well worth the day pass.

I think the only stipulation is that you pay cash.

BTW, I braved a Saturday and went there today for the first time since before Thanksgiving.

I still have a membership, but damn, it was crowded..parking sucks..but, I got the canned Kirkland salmon that I like, and the Alaskan crab legs..

just a few other things..cheap bananas and tomatoes on the vine
