Cash is KING here.
Several businesses have two pricing schedules and cash is always the lower price. Dealing face to face with people, cask is the most convenient and impossible to track.
It is nobody’s business what I bought or how much money that I got when I sold something.
Cash for labor is excellent. The government doesn’t deserve a cut since they didn’t do the work, I did.

I’ll take cash anytime but somehow it disappears when I get in the truck. To this day I haven’t found out why?!

Nope. I use cash....but for my convenience when machines break down. Pay for ice-cream and stuff with cash.

You sound a lot like me; when I had my painting business I would get lots of offers for “a cash discount”. I just charged them the same price with the tax added on. They paid me in cash and I dutifully paid the tax. It would be hypocritical for me to mock free loaders then turn around and not pay my share. If I pay for freeloaders too, who cares, really. Whoever said life was fair is naive.
We have a friend who, besides working hard and being wealthy runs a coffee shop on the side. One day I’m paying for lunch. “Credit card or debit?” she asks. I whip out my VISA. “People who have money have credit. Those that don’t, don’t” I reply. Knowing my humour she laughs. Haven’t paid a cent in interest in decades because we pay our full balance early. The credit card companies hate it, and from what I’ve heard your credit rating is better if you are occasionally paying interest. Dunno if that’s true or not.
We only have cash for garage sales, and Pesos cash because Mexico is a cash society.

WHY are you charging a tax? We did for maybe 30 years, every month on the 20th paid tax on sales to state. We according to state guy a ‘manufacturing’ outfit, making cabinets. Then in 05 another business friend (cabinet maker who did very large commercial work) said WHY, you pay tax on materials and other stuff you buy. How many deck builders, yard work, carpenters, gen contractors fixing-repainting a door collects ANY tax? If you do a $30-40,000 job, that’s a lot of money (7.5%) the home owner has to fork out. State tax people said that’s fine as long as I’m NOT tax exempt.
I’ll add one thing, on any sale but cash I payed 50% on taxes of each dollar. On cash I got the whole dollar, so I could do the job less 10% and still make 40% more than with a check (paper trail)

Cardboard box wine is great ....every carton you get a free 'pillow' after you have finished the contents. :lol:

We used to get through a lot of boxed wine for cooking only - it's about half price of bottled wine, and tastes the same in a pot of lasagna meat sauce.

Fixed. :lol:
 
It is popular for some of the "youngins" to refer to having sex as "smash".
I'd smash that...
Slang sometimes sounds witty, funny or just clever. Saying that you want to smash someone just sounds stupid.

I pay off my cards every month too and my credit score is fairly high. The card companies call us 'dead beats' lol. And last year I got back 250 bucks on top of it.

Yup, I loath the credit card companies and will not pay them a cent if I can at all help it. While I like the convenience of just carrying a thin plastic card instead of a wad of cash, I think that they are parasites; charging high interest that traps many into a debt that they can’t pay. Case in point: my youngest brother has hardcore fetal alcohol syndrome. He has zero concept of consequences for actions. The credit card companies keep giving him cards, which he runs up and has no chance of repaying. My parents used to bail him out, and he would get another card and run it up. When my parents died that source of easy money ran out. When I refused to bail him out he cut all ties with me. That was more then twenty years ago.
 
Cringe.
Some people have replaced the words awkward/clumsy/uncomfortable with the word Cringe.
Her performance was Cringe. The ugly dude was hitting on young pretty girls. That was so Cringe.
This is another misuse of the word that sounds stupid. Now, saying cringeworthy is proper but some people love to shorten words thinking that they sound trendy or cool.
Dizzy instead of distributor? Eddy instead of Edelbrock? Va-cay short for vacation?

I thought cringe was backing off from something. Like a dog cringing when it realized it had done something wrong, and would get reprimanded.

One version of this that cheeses my Danish is the people that refer to Mercedes Benz’s as “mercs”. That may wash in Europe but over here mercs are vintage Mercury’s.

We have a younger bird (31 actually) at our Supplier. Her name is Ashley, but most call her Smash or Smashley....mainly because she managed to wreck a delivery vehicle.
But Greg's meaning also applies I suspect....... :lol:
