In response to a couple of requests, here it is!...the Spring Countdown: 118 days until Spring! The Zoom interview for the focus group went OK yesterday; but after 20 minutes she said the quota was filled for my demographic group; but I would still get paid the $75. I was a little bit shocked; but I will still get paid; so I guess that's OK. I am officially done with Gravel Man. It's such a shame because I thought I found a friend that I could do things with. Breakfast - PB&J sandwich Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Chicken stew, biscuit, corn and peppers, mixed veggies Dessert/Snack - Natural brownie Dinner - Chicken/vegan cheese sandwich, veggie poppables, yogurt, juice What did you eat yesterday?

Well, at least you do get the $75, not bad at all for 20 minutes! So will you still have gravel man scoop your driveway this winter? I’m sorry he is such a disappointment. I keep forgetting to ask,will the sister in law be visiting you soon?

As long as I can keep him on the good side, I will have him plow. If he comes to me for $$ again what I have to say to him is not going to make him happy. My SIL still doesn't know what she wants to do.

@LindaOHio I do hope she visits you again sometime soon. It would be nice for you to have some company.

We all agree he is a jerk. People often assume that a person who is widowed is rolling in dough. Often they are not. They need friends, not users.

I couldn't ask for money 3 times. I'd be too embarrassed. Obviously he's not.

Sorry about Gravel man but you knew the asking for money was a bad sign. I had chicken nuggets yesterday with root vegetables for din.

That is good money for a 20 minutes work. I will definitely take it.

I had coffee for breakfast, a smoked turkey and harvatti sandwich I brought back from Walmart the night before, and dinner was a spinach salad with nuts, cranberries and honey dressing.

Nice that you will still get paid. She did ask for your time which you were going to give so I think it only right that she pay you. Too bad about Gravel Man but better you know now that to have given your time and been hurt later.

I am glad you are done with Gravel Man, I am sure he insisted so that you invest in his business.

Yes, he asked for the 3rd time. That was enough.

I ate a sausage, egg and cheese croissant for breakfast yesterday, took Pretty to Taco Bell while I went to McDonalds for lunch (I ate a double cheeseburger) and I ate a McChicken sandwich for supper last night.

@LindaOHio I hope you've got something good to eat at home. I've set out stuff to make an enchilada meal and corn bread muffins for breakfast this morning. Who knows if I'll actually make them, though.

I think Gravel Man was only ever interested in your bank account unfortunately. Good you moved on. For dinner, once again, we had a ton of leftovers and so it was a Friday night Bauer household smorgasbord. lol

Gravel Man lost an opportunity to have a good friend. Amber said it best --- his loss.

Glad you still get paid for your time. I would have ditched him a long time ago.
