* This purchase pays for your Costco membership.

I bought a Christmas gift for myself at the Costco website.

Vizio SB4051-C0 40″ 5.1 Bluetooth Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer.

Vizio Soun Bar Costco Saving

This Vizio Sound Bar is on Costco’s Pre-Thanksgiving flyer. It was $199.99 after an $80.00 discount.

This Vizio Sound Bar sits behind my TV that I can barely see it there. The subwoofer is hidden on the floor behind the TV. My TV remote controls the volume of the Sound Bar. Music channels sound amazing with this. And this is loud.

As a TV lover, this soundbar dramatically improves my lifestyle. I am really enjoying this.

FYI: I still haven’t installed the satellite speakers.

I came a long way. When I first started my blog, I had a 9 inch TV in my living room.

Kitchen Towels Suck – all of them

I don’t know why people buy, sell, & use kitchen towels like these. Yes, I own several of them myself (picture below).  But these towels SUCK!. They don’t perform well as I want them to. They are too small and thin that they quickly become soaking wet. They need to be thicker and larger. Dish towels have been around for many years… but am I the only person with this complaint?  Are you guys happy with your dish towels?

I keep some dish towels just because I want to follow the tradition. I may even use them when I have formal guests. But what really works for me is bathroom hand towels (28 to 30 inches long).

I don’t know what kind of dishtowels you guys use. To me, nothing even comes close to bathroom hand towels, and I will continue to use them in the kitchen.

FYI: The towels I use in the kitchen are from Costco.

First Sign of Christmas – July 21, 2015

I found a Christmas product at Costco today (July 21, 2015).
The Christmas season has officially started at Costco. We have 5+ long months to enjoy.

Sadly, I lost the Christmas spirit for the last 2 years. I went through depression 2 years ago. And I was mellow last year. Now I feel fantastic, I flew to San Francisco and Georgia making new friends.

Fist Bump

I had a lot of fun visiting Costco in Atlanta, Georgia. Now it was time for me to fly back home to California. I got on board and took my window seat on the left side. Soon, a beautiful young woman set next to me in the middle seat. I told her she can use the armrest between us. I said, “And I will not talk to you. I may give you a fist bump after we landed.” She smiled back.

A few minutes later her boyfriend came and set next to her on the aisle seat. I felt a little awkward that I didn’t know she was with her boyfriend. But I did tell her I will not talk to her. So…

It was a 4-hour flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles. The Sun was still up, and we flew by some beautiful clouds. I watched Harry Potter and Sound of Music on my iPad. The couple next to me talked for an hour, took a nap, and the girl played games on her smartphone. I caught her occasionally in the corner of my eye. She was tall and good-looking. If she was my girl, I would worship her.

And, of course, I didn’t talk to her.

We finally landed, but it took extra time to get to the gate. Finally, the seatbelt sign was turned off, and people started to stand up and reach for their luggage.

Her boyfriend stood up and turned his back on her for a short time. At that exact moment, she quickly turned to me with a big smile.  

And gave me a fist bump.
