It is the end of a year and maybe my last (my excuse for spoiling myself)  I found a website for a German butchershop and ordered over fifty bucks worth of coldcuts.  Blood sausage, bacon fat with Grieben ( no clue what the American term is for that); two different German coldcuts.  It will not get here until the middle of January, so I have time to wallow in my guilt for spending so much money on myself.  Of course, I never wasted one thought on buying expensive weed when I was still smoking , so I guess it is all relative.
Best wishes for the New Year.  I am looking out over my snow-coverd  yard wishing I had been smarter in my life.

Sweet Nothing
Splurging on my favorite foods is my favorite pass time. It makes me happy, so enjoy, there are far worse things to waste money on.

                                        Right you are. I had to have the plummer in yesterday. That was expensive and I almost regretted buying the German coldcuts. but screw it. I needed the reward. Happy New Year Glen.
@Spinliesel Happy New Year!
Investing in yourself is always a good thing, and if the food makes you happy go for it. I hope it is just what you need it to be. I think everyone wishes they had been smarter in life, and I say that at almost 66 years old, starting a new job search next week. Kinda sucks, but I'm not able to retire yet.

                                        I wish you much success in your job search,  The field is wide open,. With your experience, you should not have any problems.  Don't sell yourself short,
I still get job offers after eight years of retirement, all for healh care jobs.  I used to write grant applications for rural healthcare projects, and must have been good at it, because the same healthcare systems keep  contacting me.   I am 75 years old and almost blind.  My working days are over.
