Keep using your American Express Costco card through June 19th (Sunday)
Start using your new Citi card on Monday, June 20th.
Your Costco rewards will be carried over to your Citi card automatically
If you received your new Citi card, activate/check-in your card. You can do so by calling or getting online. It took me about 5 minutes (or less) to check-in online.
I don’t know about you, but I have absolutely no reason to use an American Express card anymore. I’ve always thought American Express was hoity-toity. Costco was the only reason I opened the account.

Have you tried jerkies by Golden Island? I see them occasionally at Costco. I usually see one flavor at a time. They sell jerkies with exotic & unique flavors such as Kung Pao Beef & Korean Barbecue Pork. They are tender and rich in flavor.
Their jerkies are handcrafted in small batches – according to their website.
I wondered about how they tasted. Then I received these samples. I can’t describe the taste with words – but they are all very nice. My favorite is Kung Pao beef. If I see them at Costco I will buy some.
Most jerkies in the market have a similar taste. They have a common theme going on. But, Golden Island sells jerkies with unique tastes that if I have a craving for Kung Pao beef, there will be no substitute for it.
If you are a jerky lover who likes Asian & ethnic taste, these may be a special treat for you. You can see them occasionally at Costco.
Look below for pictures and my quick reviews on each product.
Grilled Barbecue – Although I enjoyed it, this tasted more “Common” to me.
Korean Barbeque (Pork) – Very nice and exotic (different)
Sriracha (pork) – Very nice and exotic (different)
Kung Pao (Beef) – Perhaps my favorite of them all. It’s exotic, spicy (not very spicy), and has a rich ethnic taste. Look at all that peppers. It doesn’t taste like anything I’ve tasted before. I liked it a lot. I want some more.
My favorite coworker at work is exactly 20 years younger than I am. I call her my “Little buddy”. I think I am her favorite coworker as well. Sometimes she declines lunch dates with young guys so she can have a fun and relaxing lunch with “Uncle John”, that’s what she calls me.
One day we were talking about how old I was – like we often do for fun. Then she told me about this exclusive club named Pen 15. “Either you’re in or out. But, I think you are too old to even know about it” she stated.
“10-15?” I asked. “Nono.. Pen15,” she said… “Ah~ let me show you. Give me your hand.” So I gave her my hand.
This is what she wrote on my hand (below)
“You suck!” I yelled at her. “Hahaha! I owned you!” she laughed.
I recently bought a computer desk for $30, and a 7up crate for $5. I bought both of them at garage sales. I used 7-up crate to hide a massive amount of clutter. Inside the crate, I put two external hard drives, a fan to cool the hard drives, an extension cord, 3 AC adapters, and a lot of wires.
*The black box on top of the 7up crate is a battery backup system for my computer.
Here’s a picture of my master bathroom, AKA bathroom #1
I only buy Q-Tips and body lotions from Costco. 3 packs of Q-Tips last about 3 years. I take about 10 minutes to put the Q-Tips neatly in the container as pictured.
I got colognes over the years for various reasons. The oldest bottle of cologne is Tuscany. I received it about 27 years ago from a girl who had a crush on me. Bottle of Gucci is 20+ years old.
I rarely wear colognes. Sometimes I wear cologne on Sunday when I’m home alone. Colognes are like music. Some people will love your smell. But it will make a lot of people gag. So, please think twice when you wear perfumes or colognes to work. I guarantee you some of your co-workers are talking about your smell behind your back.
Sometimes, I wear fragrance when I’m with a female companion, but ONLY after she approves the smell.
