Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

I hope you will have fun.

I was home alone for the last 2 Thanksgiving days. This year, I will be home with 2 guests. I am so looking forward to relaxing and eat. There will be a lot of food. I will do most of the cooking (including turkey). I plan to impress the guests with my cooking skill. I am excited. Wish me luck~!

I am sorry if some of you are home alone or if you have to go to work. I know how it is.

The day after Thanksgiving, I will put on a Santa hat… I plan to wear the Santa Hat until Christmas. (I bought 2 hats, just in case the first one would get dirty)

I am thankful that I have an able body to go to work, exercise, and play. I hope to become financially stable so I can give back to society. For now, I can use financial help.

God bless everyone.
Enjoy the magic moment.
2010 has been fun so far.

Happy Thanksgiving

A Lot of Socks (Calvin Klein)

I have been complaining about my socks for several years now.

My complaints:

  • I have a lot of different socks. It’s been a big hassle to match up the socks after laundry. If all my black socks are identical, that will eliminate the hassle.
  • It is not financially smart to have socks in different designs. Because if one of my socks is damaged, the matching sock is going to the trash as well. If I have 30 pairs of identical socks, I only trash the damaged sock.
  • Some socks feel OK, but some socks are uncomfortable. I would like all my socks to feel consistent (good).
  • Most of my socks are old and ugly.
  • Men’s “general size” socks are too big for my feet. Most socks are made for size 12 shoe size. If you wear size 9-10 shoes, you will find “general size” socks too big.
  • Men’s custom size socks are very expensive, like $20.00+ a pair

So, this is what I did:

Today, I brought my female friend to Costco. She has the same size feet as mine.

She went to Costco barefoot, wearing sandals.

We went to the lady’s underwear section where Calvin Klein socks were at. I found a pack of socks that was opened (somebody must have tried it on already). She tried the socks – it was a perfect fit for her. 

So, I bought 9 packs (36 pairs total,  $89.91+ tax = $97.78). 

As always, $97.78 seems a lot of money for socks.  But they are quality socks at $2.50/pair. And I may not buy another pair of socks for 10 years. I believe it was smart shopping. For example, Longs Drugs sells really ugly, cheap socks for $5/pair.

As we were checking out, a lady behind us said “Those are a lot of socks”. 

My friend kept saying, “You wear girls’ socks, GIRLS~!!”

I like these socks. They look just like men’s dress-socks, except they fit me well. 

I will rotate these socks about 5-7 times a year (I will wear the same socks 5-7 times a year). So, they will last many years.

I also wear white socks. I have about 40 pairs of white socks, and they need to be replaced as well.

I also need some brown socks.

Update 2021 – 11 years later, I still wear these socks, but rarely.

(vid) Cutting Pineapple

I told my friend how tasty Costco Pineapple was. Then we talked about how we cut pineapple. I have never seen anyone else cutting pineapple before. I came up with my own way to cut pineapples. I figured that’s how everyone else is doing.

I use this method to cut watermelon, Mellon, cantaloupe, & etc…

Anyway, it was difficult to explain how I cut pineapple over the phone, so I told her “Ok, ok, I will shoot a video so you will see how I do”.

Here’s the video I sent her.

* Oh yeah, I was listening to Christmas music. They were playing it on my cable TV channel already.
