The SWA subreddit is great reading right now.
They have pilots and crew stuck at airports too and aren't paying for their hotels/meals.

Who's got the best firework prices this year?
Posted by nikki6 on 12/27/22 at 2:00 pm
I don't buy much, maybe about $100 worth for the kids to shoot off at midnight.
Who's got the best prices? Should I go to Laplace, Gretna, Slidell (would rather not have to go through Nola East and get shot)

I returned an unopened Galaxy S22+to Best Buy to rebuy for the $800 trade in credit. The clerk kept telling me I don't want to do that b/c the $800+ wouldn't be refunded to my credit card for 5-6 business days. I to...

Same here. I think as they get older(mine are both in late 70's), it's harder to do those things like vacuum, dust, wipe down surfaces etc. They don't leave out dirty dishes, but they do have crap everywhere. Do you become a mini hoarder as you get older?
They can afford a maid or we, the kids, w...

I did all of my shopping back in October. I even wrapped everything back in October.

I didn't lease a 3 series so I could give the illusion of being "rich". I didn't buy $500 handbags or $500 designer shoes. My cellphone...
