Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for October 04, 2021

I won’t ask her for a loan.

I know that one too well. It’s why I pinch pennies so hard that I decapitate Lincoln.

How can that be? I’ve still got checks left!

The calculator’s broke too, Aunty?

Get a better job….

I’m one fart from bankrupt. Death is my only saving grace.

Anybody else NOT have to calculate to know that?

Hope she has overdraft protection at the bank.

“I’m sitting here, completely surrounded by no money!” (Thanks, Onslow… ☺)

i used to work retail…had to run a register…i always said…so close, yet so far away…and that was the truth all the time…

and Aunty Acid i totally hear you there

Absolute zero is cold enough.

Join the club, Aunty! Join the club…

I doubt that will stop you.

that is probably how those who chose not to get the vaccine to keep their jobs will be feeling soon.

I resemble that statement! Had to replace the AC system, which was an unexpected output. Laying low until that is paid for.

I’m in the red.

i don’t need to do any calculations to figure that out…

Been there. Done those computations.

I once, many years ago, lived for almost two months on just the Small Change I’d taken out of my pockets and thrown into a dresser drawer when I got home from work each night.

Of course, that was easier back when you could buy Hamburger for 35 Cents per pound and Rice cost so little it might as well have been Free. Divide the hamburger into 12 tiny little meatballs and put one of them into each bowl of rice you cook and you’ve got almost a week’s worth of meals.

That’s about the easiest calculation I’ve ever had to make.
