how much money do you spend on food and booze in a month including eating out
how the hell do i cut down
i aint even extravagant
between frankie and myself we spend kind of a lot on food
she likes to go out at least once per week and it generally runs from $50 to like $150 between us.
and i buy groceries a couple of times per month and generally drop $100 or so each time.
also i keep my home bar stocked and that isn't really cheap either.
it's easy to spend less - just buy cheap, nutritious foods like potatoes, eggs, ground beef, dried beans, greens, bacon, etc. and eat in instead of going out. buy cheap-but-decent booze and mix and drink that at home instead of going out to drink.
but the key to saving the money is not to go out to eat or drink, and that's kind of a silly thing to commit to if you're young and employed and living in NYC
Why do people think potatos are "cheap, nutritious foods"?
It's a ball of starch (amyloplasts) that people put salt and pepper and fat on top of to make it taste good.
so i only got like four hours of sleep last night (a combination of you assholes wanting to play another in-house, and my douchebag cat)
i am finding that i am wayyy more productive today than i have been all week
scanning ALL the slides, analyzing ALL the images, and chewing out creationists on the internets
You might want to double check your accuracy. Reduced sleep and increased speed and unwarranted confidence seem like a combination that just screams sloppy.
been doing this, because i know that as well
Considering you missed the shot I took at you, I would consider triple checking. :P
Anyone know when the Secret Santa thing begins?
I'm ready to send some presents up in this bitch. Tempted to sign up for the G&T one, but I usually lurk/post D&D more.
Rumor in [Chat] is there probably won't be a D&D secret satan this year due to last years apparently being a bit of a clusterfuck I guess.
If it does happen, Elki tends to start it up later than most of the other subforums.
Also, last year was hell. I don't think I ever completed my spreadsheet.

I'm impressed you manage to go supermarket shopping twice a month, that is what we did back in the day when we only visited an urban settlement 2x a month! I myself blow a lot of money at the supermarket because there are just so goddam many in London that it is more convenient to do so than not. I got 3-4 times a week at least
Damnit....just found out that during my field testing last week, where we spent a bunch of money to keep me out in field looking for one specific issue, apparently only occurred in certain places I didn't know to test.
So now my already grump of a coworker is extremely pissed at me, and I'm rather confident he's sperging out to my boss over it while they're at lunch since I just borked a huge chunk of his project up. This afternoon will not be fun.
Oh well.

See that up there in the red? Stop doing that as much. If you still need the occasional mid level meal, go to restaurant.com and buy a few $25 gift certificates for $2.

I probably averaged a little over $250 a month going out on booze this summer. I go out to a lot of local live shows at bars in the summer though, usually around 1-3 a week.

That's bullgoosery.
Also Lame and not at all in the Christmas spirit.
I am so fucking full of awesome Chinese. Went to lunch with the folks to a place near by that is good and tried their curry for the first time. Holy fuck, the shit was like an explosion of awesome in my mouth. And since it was curry I am super fucking full atm.

well
i tend to avoid starches and carbs where i can
but lots of people consider them essential to their diet
and in terms of calories/ dollars, potatoes and rice are basically your central value propositions
Considering messaging someone I know IRL and being like HEY IM RAD RIGHT? RIGHT??
Also considering how annyoing and needy that would be
instead maeking poast
Has your therapist covered some of the anti-anxiety techniques with you? It's not a cure for panic attacks but it can take the edge off and sometimes that's very helpful.
My therapist has been focusing on the PTSD, i haven't had too many sessions with him since I only see him once every two/three weeks.

its not a shot
i do have unwarranted confidence
That's the problem with setting up a joke two or three posts in advance, sometimes they hit a speed bump.

it actually took me a second to catch because i was simultaneously like "yes unwarranted confidence is a symptom of little sleep" AND "yeah I am kinda unwarrantably confident at all times"
but the key to saving the money is not to go out to eat or drink, and that's kind of a silly thing to commit to if you're young and employed and living in NYC
yeah it is true
otherwise i'd just go move to somewhere shitty and boring and cheap

You might want to look at some of the deep breathing techniques. I suspect the breathing itself doesn't do shit, but it gives you something to focus on and control which for me at least gives me enough sometimes to keep from going into a full blown panic attack.

well, i have to drive in my commute to work, so it's not impractical for me to load up the car on the way home. there's actually a large supermarket a block away from my house, but their produce is kind of shitty and their workers were on strike for a long time and i didn't want to get my nice clothes spat on while i crossed the lines, so i kind of fell out of the habit of popping over for foods.
also, when i cook, i cook in volume and tend to eat what i made over the rest of the week. frankie kind of hates this way of doing things, but if she wants different then she can learn to cook for herself dammit.

with one obvious exception that is a ridiculously good looking office

If you need to get a fierce drunk on, pre-game.

well
let's not go overboard here
cass is lots of fun to have in vent
but actually playing lol with her is just an extended session of getting ganked over and over
cass will just ignore your tower at L6 or so, swoop in, gank your ass and flit away
because she has a demon pact with Riot games
That's bullgoosery.

You think so? Looks pretty regular to me, in a good way
....which is always why i finagle my way onto her team
There was this time that I killed Organichu like seven times over
Then he was sitting at his tower at like half health
I felt bad and I didn't go in for the kill
Then Rammus came out of the bushes and it was all over
NEVER AGAIN
ALL SCRUBS ARE GOING DOWN
FOREVER
my weekly budget for stuff involving that is $100, so $400 a month
feminism is bullshit

This is some awesome scary shit. I think what's even more spectacular is that it's fan made
Okay Mr. Lock Dog, I see your hobbies are drinking, smoking weed, and doing all types of ill shit.
I rather enjoyed the idea Bob mentioned in [chat] the other day
Baked beans (I assume) and cheese on top of a baked potato
Sounds good
What happened last year?
