Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just input my credit cards into iBank so I can track actual spending habits! And wow, I had no idea we spent that much on food. Let's hope December was anomalous because if not we need to make some *serious* changes to our dining habits. Like cutting spending in half serious.
Next onerous task is making a yogurt sauce for tonight's dinner and then heading out into the snow to pick up Dylan from preschool.
So it has to be impossible for an honest person to be conned.
But! They have had at least one episode where they give back the money because they conned someone who didn't deserve to be stolen from. So it's in-universe established bullshit. They have episodes where they get revenge against mean people who've been conning honest people--but how can that work?
eating out or groceries? cuz the first is easy to curb, the second, kinda essential!
SMG returning to TV. I'm not sure if I saw that linked to here already.
My onerous task for today was making a fool of myself in front of upper management. ::sigh:: Now off to long meeting.
I bought a San Pellegrino Limonata. I hope I don't hate it.
So it's in-universe established bullshit.
Okay, so, saying you can't con an honest man makes cons feel better about themselves.
Bills paid and lunch eaten
sometimes it is easier to cut the grocery bills than you think. for me -- by what I was tossing, I figured out that I was buying way to much food
saying you can't con an honest man makes cons feel better about themselves.
Which is why I hope the Leverage team never says it (and I've told John as much). I respect them more for it.
I've really cut down on bill paying as an onerous task by setting up autopay through my bank. The only thing I really have to think about is my rent. So much better.
When we were living on a lot less than we are now, a coworker was telling me about her budget problems but noted brightly that they stopped drinking wine except on the weekends are were saving so much! I could only wonder exactly how much wine they had been drinking during the week (we basically didn't drink because it was too expensive at that point. Also I think I was nursing, and I'm a ridiculous lightweight.)
Onerosity (slightly late): made telephone calls.
