However, we could definitely de-clutter, get rid of some old stuff we don't use, not buy as much stuff unless we really need it, etc.

    We spent the majority of Saturday re-folding our clothes so they fit in our dresser better, making a donation pile for stuff we don't wear anymore, etc. Then, yesterday we went to grab breakfast and she said she started reading a book about finances, making wise decisions, saving money, etc. I'm like "wow, this is all good ***". And after we leave there we go to Home Depot to grab a couple of things that we need.

    We went into Home Depot to grab three things but once I'm there I forget what the third thing is. So I said "let's just walk around for awhile and maybe I'll see something that we jog my memory". As were going aisle by aisle we walk past the refrigerator section and she see's the Samsung refrigerator that has a big touchscreen and is basically like a giant smartphone (that has apps like Spotify, you can write notes, look up recipes or anything online, etc) on your refrigerator door... and she's like "I have to have this".

    I say "you're kidding, right?" but she wasn't. I say "what about only buying stuff you really need? Because there's nothing wrong with the refrigerator we have now." But she wasn't having it. Eventually, she relented but she said that she's not going to forget about the refrigerator until we have one.



    My reaction on the inside during all of this:

    Hahaha. That's a great story. Reminds me of the other day me and my wife were grocery shopping and I grabbed a Kombucha drink that wasn't on the list. It was $3. She gave me **** about it because we're trying to cut back in unnecessary spending. Then we come home to an Amazon package for the 6th day in a row. I'm like wtf?!?! She totally blows it off like it's nothing. Women man lol.

            This is the part they never show on "Cops". But I always wondered about that. I mean, some of those foot pursuits are insane, and with gear, and a fight, and whatever else...yikes.

About arrested dad for disorderly. I had plenty of probable cause with his behavior and being drunk. It was rough. He was a mess. Approached me like he wanted to go, so I told him to let me finish my cigar and unbuttoned my jacket and he looked at me kind of taken aback. Apparently I'd gashed my neck pretty good at some point during the pursuit and when I reached up, I came back down with a hand full of blood. He said I'd be hearing from his lawyer. I told him I figured such, as that's how the legal system works.

            If you ever want to lose all faith in humanity immediately, spend a night following around a police officer in a tough neighborhood, spend the night in a county hospital emergency room, or go to a Walmart on Black Friday. My hypothesis has always been that people that think "most people are basically good/decent" have never done any of those things...
