    I also have never ran out of gas and do not plan to experience it anytime soon. Sometimes when I drive after my parents, the cars will be low and I panic that I won't have enough gas to make it to the first gas station I see (the closest one I'm aware of is 10 minutes away from my house). My mom likes to get gas at places that is the cheapest, my dad goes to the store he gets points at, and I go to what's closest but also in an area I'm familiar with because I don't want to be lost😂 I do love that the newer cars tell you miles per gallon, miles left until empty, and can start GPS directions to a gas station nearby

    Thank you for sharing your Once Upon A Child haul. I never think of going to ours since it’s on the other side of town but now I might have to check it out for spring/summer clothes and some Easter basket goodies.

    • @thecozycommune
      @thecozycommune  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes definitely check! I also think going right when they open is the best for finding good toys.

    My oldest brother used to annoy the crap out of me. He worked in a car dealership for years and knew a lot about mechanics from his dad, so he knew how long cars could run while low on gas (this before they would tell you how many miles you had left). He would deliberately pass gas station after gas station while we were at less than a quarter of a tank, while I would be yelling at him to just stop and get gas. The Housewife book sounds interesting. I'm in agreement with you, while I'm not currently married nor a mother, I would love to be a stay-at-home mom/housewife, but I do think that women should be able to choose and not forced to stay home if that's not what they want.

    • @thecozycommune
      @thecozycommune  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I feel like if my car didn't tell me the miles, I'd be getting gas at the 1/4 tank out of fear 🤣

    I DNF’d The Lost Girls for multiple reason - but one of them most definitely was the twin thing. I have identical twins and I would say most twins at that age look a bit different and for sure would try to look different from their identical twin - it just wasnt believable!
