Taxpayers are paying billions of dollars for unused office space for the Federal Government. Many of the departments have capacities at less than 50% which costs us $$ to maintain.
Amazon has disappointed me again. They had previously changed their minimum order from $25 to $35. Now they are no longer accepting Amazon credits/points for gift cards. I turn in my Amazon credits from survey sites and focus groups for restaurant gift cards. Now I will have to spend my $ on merchandise which I probably don't need or want.
I'm almost done with my Christmas cards.
114 days until spring.
Breakfast - None
Lunch - Turkey, dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, sweet potato, corn
Dessert/Snack - Triple chocolate muffin
Dinner - None
What did you eat yesterday?

I see that you have skipped two meals.. breakfast and dinner there. Your lunch must have been too filling.
Sorry about the Amazon stuff .
It's Monday night here. I am in bed calling it a day. I had some leftovers from yesterday dinner for today's dinner. It's a popular Indian Street food called Pav bhaji.

@LindaOHio It's going good here.Today I have got some breathing space. It's been hectic week so far. Hope that coming two days are not so hectic at work.

I'm sorry to hear that about Amazon. I don't do surveys or have points to use there. However, I always spend a lot of money there. Or so it seems. Most of what I buy are my books. I need to put in an order for more today.
Thanksgiving leftovers are always good.
I had Raisin Bran and a banana for breakfast, a turkey sandwich for lunch, and a salad for supper and a banana. For my snack I had a Dove Promise chocolate and Dark Chocolate M&Ms. It was a light calorie day.

My hubby just made more turkey legs and thighs for himself. We still have mashed potatoes and some dressing left. Have a great week.

I bet there is a lot of other things our tax dollars are being used for that are just wasted.
I don't use Amazon and haven't for several years. I don't like how they buy out small businesses and how they treat their employees.

@LindaOHio ......Yes, indeed. So many of Trump's goings-ons while he was in office wasted our taxes terribly. I hope he doesn't get back in office. It's not looking good.

Yes, I'm sure our tax dollars are wasted on much more.

@LindaOHio me too. My husband won’t go beyond two days. I have to freeze most leftovers and wait a few weeks to have again.

When you take a survey, for example, you earn points. When you get enough points, you can cash out for various things, one of them being Amazon credits. Then you can go to Amazon, enter the codes, and purchase merchandise.

I buy Amazon Gift Cards on at least three of my sites then add them to my account balance. What is happening for you? Unless it just changed. I have redeemed three places over break for Amazon GC that go on my balance. I also link my PayPal and can pay Amazon with PayPal.

I can add the points/dollars to my balance; but when I go to check out, it will not allow me to apply that balance to restaurant gift cards. :-(

I'm going to have to think of something to order. Maybe when I run out of my supplements I can get them there....or protein bars.

Plus they probably don't make that much from gift cards of restaurants, etc.
