Have you noticed this too? And now people have to spend $1,000 just to make themselves feel good [about themselves]. This $1,000 thing has really caught on out there. Like if you sell services you have to ask for at least $1,000 now. Airlines are doing this – if you want to take a domestic fight across a few states it’s $1,000.00 now. What’s funny is they’ll take you somewhere for only $400.00, but they want $650.00 to return you back home? Why is that? So if I take a one-way trip and just stay there [forever] you mean I can save $650.00? Nice! Why don’t airlines want people to return home anymore? I mean, I think I would like to get back home [one day]. But then I could walk back I suppose. Gee, I wonder how many planes I’d see pass me in the sky on my two month trek back home? However, to be fair [in reporting], rides on the outside wings, [either one] are still free I suppose? So traveling “Afghan-style” is one option. 🙂

I needed some sheetrock repairs on some walls done in my townhouse, it’s a relatively small job. I had to tear out some sheetrock for a room renovation project. Called a guy out, a sheetrock contractor, he took a look at it and promptly emailed me a bid. “We can complete your job, your total cost is $1,000”. I was thinking maybe he was having to purchase that round-trip plane ticket too? No, must just be a coincidence, but then just maybe. I called his office back a few days later and told his assistant I was fine with his quote so please have him call me when he can get started. That was a week ago and he still hasn’t returned my phone call. I guess he opted to save money too by buying only a one-way ticket. He’s probably still not heard my message, I bet he’s walking back home from that one-way destination? This could take awhile.

Then I was looking at a sword, one of these vintage Civil War relics to hang on the wall. I talked to one guy, a dealer in these kind of things, he had taken one in for sale on consignment I guess, he said the owner wants $1,800 for it but I was thinking I could probably get it for $1,000, because again, isn’t everything else $1,000? Like if you take your car in for any repair, or even a minor scratch it’s going to run you $1,000. This is how life works now, remember several years ago when everything was $500? You don’t remember that far back? Neither do I… meh.
