I feel much the same as you. I've never liked the taste of coffee no matter how much sugar or cream I put in. But I do drink a soft drink similar to Mountain Dew to get my caffeine in the morning. I gave it up for several years but finally decided why not?, what's it going to hurt in my old age. Never smoked but my husband had a two-pack a day habit and then quit cold turkey in 1988; I'm sure he still thinks about smoking sometimes and could easily pick the habit up again. I also don't like beer; drank too much of it and got sick the first time I drank it. To this day, I can't stand the taste or smell - have to stay away from hubby when he drinks it which thankfully isn't too often. But there are some other alcoholic drinks that I used to enjoy; just don't have a taste for it anymore. Last time I saw my doctor last month, I told him I'm thinking of trying weed - he had nothing to say about it one way or the other. Never smoked it or had it any other way but I'm seriously thinking of it.
I enjoyed it a lot back in the day. Let's get together and have a pot party. Actually, I don't think that I can. I read somewhere that you aren't supposed to smoke marijuana if you have heart issues but hold on, I just said that I don't care about that stuff so the party is still on. Who else is coming?

There's so much available that doesn't need to be smoked. I don't think I would smoke it with my COPD; don't think that would work too good.

I automatically think of smoking it because that's what I always did.

I went to Wags a few minutes ago and, of course, my transaction didn't work. I came out ahead on the refund because I cashed out my RR's and got an extra $8 somehow. I also ended up with a $3 RR, 20% cat, and 9/40 cat. I didn't want any of this to happen. I just took what she gave me and jammed it into my pocket. The bad thing is that I still don't know why the transaction didn't work. Did I get items that didn't qualify for the RR? Did I mess it up by using a Crest RR to pay for a Crest item? Do all 4 items have to be the same? It could be any of these things or all of them. I can't even check to see which items qualify because the website won't let me. I decided to just get some Coke and call it a day. That transaction worked fine but I should've added Colgate so that I could've used $20 in W cash. I think that I'll just stick to soda pop and paper products and let you guys get all of the free stuff. I'll learn Wags if RA closes and I have to otherwise it's too much stress for me. If I ever want to kill myself, I know how to do it now - drink a Monster and then go to Wags and do a W Cash deal with a booster. That'll do it quicker than jumping off a bridge.

I got that Hulu promo 99 cents a month for a year (with ads). I wonder how much it is without ads. I have to do it.

It's up to $17 or 18 a month now without ads. Not sure they run promos on the ad free. If anyone knows of any, I'd appreciate hearing.

I think this is a great deal. I got ad supported Hulu last year for $1.99 a month for a year and if not cancelled it will go up to $7.99 next week. I was going to keep it as I want to at least see the fifth season of The Handmaid Tales but now will cancel and my husband will sign up for the 99 cents. One movie we recently watched on Hulu was Quiz Lady which wasn't bad. I believe it's $17.99 without ads but there is a break in price if you pay for a full year.

I ordered some coupons on Monday morning. I got an email that they had been shipped later that day. I paid for priority mail with insurance (as requested by the seller). As of today (Wednesday), the tracking says that a label has been created but the coupons were never dropped off at the post office. I emailed the seller yesterday and today but haven't received a response. It's a small order - $20 for everything. The seller has been very reliable in the past. The coupons have no value to me if I don't get them by Saturday. I was willing to take a chance that with the holiday on Thursday I might not get the coupons in time but I don't want to miss them because the seller took the week off and didn't ship anything. What should I do?

I've heard that the Handmaid's Tale is very good. What do you think?

I have liked it so far and look forward to seeing the conclusion which the next season will be (might actually be sixth not fifth as I stated earlier). As far as whether one will like it or not, I think it probably depends on one's political and religious persuasions. No matter what, I think it will make most think/wonder if this kind of society could occur.

At least after 5 years you're still watching.

I would email them and ask for a full refund unless they can prove these were dropped at the post office on Tuesday, unless they have a posted standard that coupons will go in the mail within 48 hours of payment. If they have something like that, you're kind of screwed. I think the chance of you getting them on Saturday is very low.

I'm not sure why they would send me an email on Monday that they had shipped when it's Thursday and they still haven't taken the item to the post office. I paid for priority mail. If they had shipped on Monday I would've received the coupons on Wednesday. The best they can do now is to ship on Friday and I'll get the coupons on Monday. They won't do me any good then. I've already emailed them twice with no response. I'd rather them not ship and keep my money as credit on the next order.

Edit: I sent them an email requesting them not to ship and issue me a store credit instead. The coupons would've helped me out today but I did ok without them.
