Oh, and this....

I came in to post this link and got distracted by the watch talk.

[Simpy]

I have a dozen (no joke) watches sitting in my drawer all needing batteries.

I used to work in a watch store and I just can't bring myself to pay $7+ for a batter change when I know how much the actual battery costs and what it takes to change one.

Walmart just charges for the battery. Actually, you buy the battery and they let you use the little screwdriver thingy that pops the back off and you change it yourself.

I won't judge since I've been known to mix OJ and Sprite. I loved that combo when I was a kid. It's like Orangina before I knew WTF Orangina was.

The only problem, really, with calling it "Breakfast Soda" is that it makes it sound healthy and like a meal replacement. Otherwise, I'd rather have someone drink half OJ/half Mountain Dew than just a plain Mountain Dew. At least there are a few good things in OJ.

How much do they charge for the battery?

Not that it would be the same here but watch most batteries run between $0.10 - $0.25. Is Walmart really charging that little?

I mix juice and pop all the time.

Just not for breakfast.

I'm not judging the mixing, I'm judging the pop at breakfast.

I can't do it. No carbonation before noon for me, thank you.

Also I giggled at "higher end" Catalina menu.

Higher end food at Taco Bell? Right.

I think they charge around $5. Where would I find a battery cheaper? If I don't buy it in bulk like Walmart I'll never get that kind of price for one. The mark up on printer cables that connect your printer to your computer - oh my word, it's outrageous. They can get away with marking those types of things very high though because it's the kind of thing you need. I'd rather pay $5-$10 to have my battery fixed than to buy a new watch. I'd rather pay $25 for a cable that cost about $3 than to not use my printer.

That's the problem - the watch store I worked at bought them in bulk from a jewellers.

I just can't bring myself to pay $7/battery when they'd order A BOX of assorted batteries for $20.

I should look into opening a store specifically for battery changes. That seems like it would be very profitable.

There's a battery store on the other side of town. Supposedly it's a lot cheaper to get batteries there, but it's too time consuming to drive to that side of town. My time is worth more than the $2-$3 I'd be saving.

Morning! Last day before school starts and it's pouring out. Good for Mike - he can finish the paper he had to write over the summer. Bad for Kevin - he's already upset about going back to school and now he can't even go out and play today.

[Simpy]

Poor Kevin. LOL. He can play in the rain. It absolutely poured for about 15 minutes on Sunday afternoon. The kind of rain that stings when it hits you. Jack took off his shirt and ran sprints in the driveway in it. It was so funny and I'm kicking myself for sitting there drinking wine and not getting it on video.


Simptember began today. I'm going to be sore.

[erinlee01]

I kicked my workouts up a notch this week. Going back to the 5/3/1 4 day split instead of 2. And I started running yesterday. We'll see if my leg will let me keep that up. If it doesn't, I'm going to have to break down and get an elliptical which will tick me off considering what I spent on my treadmill.

[HARRYBEAST]

Eva starts school tomorrow too. She is excited and nervous and so are we

Erinlee are you running on a leg that is still going numb?????
be careful! We ended up buying both the treadmill and the eliptical. I liked the eliptical better.

[erinlee01]

School doesn't start until tomorrow here. I've been home with my kids today and I am ready. They have done nothing but fight.

Yes. At some point, I have to accept that it might not get better. I run at TKD already. Just slowly adding in distance.

[HappySnowBunny]

Must have been a pretty big party if everyone is still sleeping in. Hangover, anyone?

[PLANETGETLOW]

Well, no party for me, just same ole day-to-day grindin!!

[HARRYBEAST]

This is what I did




Also Eva started preschool today

[Simpy]

Looks good, Harry! Was Eva super excited about school? I see her as the kind of kid that will love school.

[PLANETGETLOW]

Pretty cool!! Will the heat from the firepit wilt the garden items?

She was excited and loved it. I just got done eating lunch with her

Shouldn't. I rarely would use them in the same season. By the time lettuce is freezing over It will be fire season and then when it gets too warm for fires for me it will be time to plant next years crops

Really? We have fires all year long.
