Costco American Express Cash Back Reward

Costco and American Express are breaking up. My American Express card will no longer work at Costco next year. I will no longer receive a cashback reward check. Without a Costco cash-back reward, I have no reason to continue using the American Express card.

Anyway, here’s my cash back reward certificate of $262.03

I am crossing my fingers for good news on the AmEx alternative for Costco members.

Happy Valentine’s Day (2015)

Happy Valentine’s Day (2015).

Viagra girl says that half of the men over 40 suffer from some form of ED. But, I think most men can solve their problems by just watching this commercial (this model).

Product Review – Water Ridge Kitchen Faucet

February 1, 2015 – after 2 weeks of use.

  • This kitchen faucet by Water Ridge is good for what you pay ($78.99). The pull-out feature & spray features function OK. Installation was easy. It works for me, but this is not for rich people.
  • Money to value score: 91%
  • Satisfaction score: 89%
  • Regret score: 0%
  • Complaints: (The faucet is good overall. I’m just being picky).
    • The faucet feels lighter than it should. It doesn’t feel solid, heavy, and expensive. You may even say it feels (somewhat) flimsy.
    • It lacks precision in water flow control. Control is OK/good, but not great. I bet expensive faucets provide better control (precision).
    • I cannot use the spray at low flow.
    • It comes with 1 sinkhole cover. But, I can see many people would need the second sinkhole cover.
  • Rich men score: I would buy a better faucet if I made $250K / year
  • I don’t understand the bad reviews – maybe I have a low standard? Or maybe I need to give it more time? we’ll have to wait and see. So far, I am happy with it. My kitchen looks better. I enjoy my time in the kitchen more.

Pictures for my mother – Costco Tulips

I bought this jar of tulips two weeks ago for my mother. It was $11.99 at Costco. I normally see my parents every weekend. But my parents have been busy the last 2 weekends. Tulips are now in full bloom. So, I took pictures of them and emailed them to my mother.

My mother enjoyed the images I sent her.

I set it on the chair by the window so it will get some Sunlight. I bought that chair last week for $5 at a garage sale.

Photography: I am still enjoying my Canon PowerShot S120.
