My song of the day (February 23, 2013): My past Song of The Day's
There is no song of the day

This topic is not going away.  100+ Comments and counting...

*People are not happy with Costco's new toilet papers (I still think they are the best deal).  Read comments.

There has been big changes on Costco (Kirkland Signature) toilet papers.

• Old Costco toilet papers came in packages of 36 rolls.  The new package contains 30 rolls.
• Old Costco toilet papers were individually wrapped.  The new Costco toilet papers are packaged as 6 pack.
• New Costco toilet papers are supposed to be softer and thicker.  I do believe they are slightly softer and thicker.  I am beginning to wonder if they are not as strong, which can be a problem.
• Old Costco toilet papers were $17.99 for 36 rolls - this comes out to be $.50 each roll ($0.499722222) - this is a very good price.
• New Costco toilet papers are $14.99 for 30 rolls - this comes out to be $.50 each roll ($0.499666666).  So, per roll price was not changed.
• New rolls of toilet papers are too large (fat) for toilet paper holder.

People are not happy about the changes.  If there are better toilet papers (better deal) I would like to know, so please leave me a note.

After thought:
I wanted to shoot a demonstration video by using peanut butter as sample prop.  Then I decided not to do that due to the fact that a lot of people may find it distasteful.

I bought a Little Giant Ladder from Costco for $179.99.   I didn't bother to compare price at that time.  It was my educated guess that it was the best price in town.  I did price check after I brought it home, just to make sure and to make me feel good.

The exact model name is -  Model 17, Type 1A

On their official website, they sell these for $259.99 with free tax and shipping

Amazon sells them for $249.99 plush tax and shipping

Costco sells them for $179.99 with free shipping (if you want them shipped).  I bought mine at my local Costco warehouse.  The ladder will fit in the back seat of normal 4 door sedans.

This is an incredible deal at $55 savings.  One purchase of Little Giant ladder pays for Costco membership.  And there is no shipping hassle. Honestly, I don't know why some people don't have Costco membership.

Once these ladders are gone, it will take long time to see them again at Costco.  Go get yours now.  Enjoy.

I had a short day at work today (Friday). I came home around 4pm.

I drew up a shopping list - I was planning to go to Costco, Wal*Mart, ROSS,  Target, and Home Depot.

I enjoy shopping alone.  I weaseled out from a female friend who wanted to come shopping with me. Why ruin a perfect shopping night with a girl, I figured.  I guess I haven't met a true love.

I ate a light snack and took a nap before going out.  In my dream I shopped at a super Costco where toilet papers come in 70 rolls pack.

When I woke up it was 8:30pm - I slept for 4 hours.  Costco was closed!

So... no shopping, no girl.  :(

Did anyone watch Survivor last night?

Wasn't that the greatest show in history?  My heart was pumping.  I replayed that tribal council over and over for hours. 

Take a walk Fillup, take a walk!

I have no regret that I've wasted all my life watching TV in the dark room.

Now I can die happy.  I shall go to Costco to buy a casket.

This is a few weeks late entry.

I found a set of Adolfo suit (Pants and Jacket) that's just my size that I don't need any kind of alteration.  And I bought one extra jacket as a staple item (to wear over jeans & etc).  Now I have 5 brand new suits that I never wear.  I will be prepared when the occasion arise.  I've been lucky with my jobs that I never have to wear shirt, tie, or slack.

As much as I hate yard work, I was happy to find Scotts Turf Builder (Weed & Feed).  I hope I will apply this once, and I will never have to think about weeds forever.  :(

Nothing special... trying to eat good.

I had a lunch today (Thursday) at Costco with a super smart friend (A computer programmer who got his masters degree at 20).

I only eat hot dogs on weekend after Costco shopping (My weekend starts Friday 5pm).  As a matter of fact, I generally eat very healthy Monday to Friday. And I eat whatever I want on weekends.  I love KFC, steak, lobster, BBQ...  anything that's bad for human body.

I took below picture after I finished eating salad. 

I didn't eat croutons, and only ate 1/3 of salad dressing.  I even left out the cheese.  I don't really watch nutritional facts.  But I always use common sense when I eat.  My common logic tells me that it is better to avoid croutons and dressings.  I don't have to do a research to come to that conclusion.

I thought I share this little story to motivate some of you trying to lose weight. When it comes to losing weight, every bite counts.  You make 6 packs in the kitchen, not in the gym.  And, ladies, you will not get bulky if you workout, unless you take man hormon and do muscle building workout 8 hours a day for next 5 years. Most men don't get big from normal workout, either. We'll be happy if we look lean and cut.

This is the sexiest song I know of.  It is French.  And it's from 1969.  This is the song that inspired & influenced Donna Summer's 'Love To Love You Baby'

There is brief nudity (but not bad).  She is Jane Birkin (66 years old now).

Anyway, this is the sexiest song that I know of.

Play with your own discretion.
