In Goodwill with the wife. Can't wait to get out of here.
"What do you mean you don't love this?"
:face-with-tears-of-joy: I got lucky my wife is not interested in shopping in any shape or form. By the time I'm over it she's done
 
I admit that she saves a ton of money by shopping at thrift stores while still making us all look good. I spin through the store and am done in ten minutes tops. She actually pages through whole rows of clothes to find clothes that are the right size and that she is willing to see us wear (as well as finding things her daughters are willing to wear).

My wife's the same way, that said, there's three of us so it's not as impressive :grinning-face-with-sweat:
 
Stay with them as long as you all get along, I lost my father in 2016 and my mother in 2018. My brother passed on my birthday 2 years ago. I am the youngest of 4, my middle sister disowned our family in 2018 after my mother passed. So its basically me who turns 60 in may and my oldest sister who turned 76 in January . The flow of life can be hard on the heart
That is absolutely right, well said. It's so important to focus on the love we DO have.
 
Don't forget to choose a color spectrum. Not sure if we have a choice, but it doesn't hurt to suggest?
You want red
