COLD TURKEY

[Duchess]

Could you go thirty days without spending a dime on anything that wasn't a necessity? Keep in mind, I don't consider Starbucks a necessity, you all know exactly what I mean by necessity.

I guess I could if I was in jail, but even then I'd probally spend my commissary money on hooch and smokes.

I'd be hard pressed to go a day much less 30. When you think about all the crap that we have in our lives that isn't really essential, it's staggering.

[OnBendedKnee]

What's the payoff for doing so?
A gentlemen's bet? Absolutely not.
My child's life? Probably, yes.

All in perspective.

[Maggot]

I do that all day long, its everyone else that spends my money.

[Jimbone]

I do this exact thing once a year. Gas and groceries only.

Just to prove to myself that I can.

[ramseycat]

I could. Probably. Maybe.


Never mind. I can't do it.

[QueenBee]

Not right now. I probably could. But at this point in my life, no. Depends on what a necessity is. I am assuming under this scenario, paying rent and bills are OK.

Any beer or wine in those groceries?

Funny you should ask... I have already done my wine buying for the year, just picked up the order this weekend. Those charges will hit with this statement.

I usually do my cold turkey month after the holidays (usually February cycle as it is the shortest). But now that I think about it, it's gas, groceries, and lunch at work. I don't brown bag it.

[Duchess]

lunch at work. I don't brown bag it.

What's a typical work lunch for you?

3 martinis.











j/k

I usually have a mid-sized meal... cup of soup and a sandwich or soup and salad. There's a pizza place not far that I might get a stromboli once in awhile.. but usually just a slice or something when we go.

Mmmm Wine, what would you recommend as a favorite red ?

Do you like bold reds, or something a little lighter?
