Yikes!
Elon been wearing beer goggles?
Plot twist: It was a water bed.
What’s wrong with eating peanut butter?
I have had the occasion to meet several extremely wealthy people. Most of them were quite frugal. For example, I met a woman who was probably worth 30 or 40 million US dollars in HK. Not only did she ride the bus, but she’d wait to take the non-air-conditioned bus to save a HK dime (1.3 US cents). I reported a HK landlord to the Canadian version of the IRS. The woman had 20 -25 rental properties in HK, she was worth millions, but was living on welfare in Vancouver not reporting her HK income and taking cash in so it didn’t show in her bank account.
Li Kai Shing, at the time the 8th richest person in the world, is famous for having his driver fish a $2.00 HK coin from a storm drain (about 26 US cents) because it was a waste to leave it there.
Warren Buffet is renowned for driving a 25-year-old station-wagon and living in a 2000 square foot tract house.
Granted there are areas where they spend money. But in a lot of ways the the wealthy are often frugal.
Then there is E. Howard Hunt who you used to take a sack lunch to work. He ate in the bank vault where his money was stored. (Or so I’ve been told.)
I like Elon Musk, quirky genius gotta quirk.
He and my cat DaisyJane follow each other on Twitter.
So there!
Hey that mattress hole makes your butt look smaller.
I know a person who has an arsenal of peanut, almond, etc. butter. Also a hard working millionaire. She sees no roadblocks, only opportunities.
Oy vey, Republicans have spent hours? All that idiot had to say was one sentence.
And it was over for her—if indeed it’s a her. Who knows? She obviously does not.
OOOPS, POSTED TO WRONG THREAD.
PAST MY BEDTIME. NIGHT NIGHT
I read today that Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter.
I don’t know if he was just joking or not.
Seems that he could start his own kind of Twitter if he chose to. It may be easier said than done.
That would be a trip if he were able to gain control of that.
Almost a game changer. He and Rogan and others have been awakened.
Like an old mule pulling a milk cart,
the carrot remains out of reach.
Sounds Hughes.
How about just turning over the mattress? She won’t see the hole, and he won’t have to spend a few bucks.
The other side to this coin is that he has enough money to tell a woman to fix her own dam mattress.
It’s not frugality, it’s dominance.

Nothing a wad of bathroom tissue and a couple of strips of duct tape won’t fix.
She looks as skanky as Yoko Ono. Looks like money can't buy common sense or taste in women.
Ok, she makes a fair point, but… Manning?!
A man that I knew very well came in and sat next to me. We talked.
He was a millionaire a few times over. The SOB didn't even pay or offer to pay for my coffee.
