Between $15 and $30 in retail value. I buy things on clearance or on sale and stock up. I have a gift shelf in my closet. ;)

Good point, but the situations and circumstances are different and one poster is posting anonymously (some may find this post to be trolling) so it's not exactly the same thing.

I personally don't know what to believe... and I am not just talking about these forums or PMs. Nothing is really sacred anymore, is it?

:confused: Sorry, but I don't see any sense in continuing counseling when obviously he isn't on the same page. I've seen my mom in heartache - even to the point of physically fighting with the other woman. Whatever you do - do not stoop to their level. I am so sorry that this is happening to...

Yes, I would definitely combine trips. Maybe visit other grocery or thrift stores nearby to make it worth the expense.

My first business experience was selling Bubble Yum stickers on the playground in the 2nd grade and then I started delivering newspapers. I also participated in Junior Achievement. Since then I never miss the opportunity to support entrepreneurship. I have owned many businesses and now I am a...

You do amazing work. I can't recall if you ever mentioned it, but can you tell me how you learned to sew - and who taught you or did you learn yourself? I teach kids and I am starting my first boys class this fall. I am sure whatever you come up with it, they will be lovely. You have that...

I have seen numerous ads in our area on Craigslist asking for wanted items. That might be a good option. GL!

A lot of professionals say an emotional affair is just as intense as a physical one. I consider that the same thing, really. I guess with the wide variety of responses, definitions of cheating, and tolerance levels it's really something that one has to consider what is best for them...

Oh my, I remember that lady! I used to be an avid couponer and rebater (thanks to mycoupons.com and refundcents.com) , but now not so much. :blush:

:hug: I had a m/c on April 7, 1997 and I don't think one ever forgets, you know? I went to a grief counselor at my hospital and I spoke with my reverend, but I really didn't get over it. I just found strength in my faith. I also planted a tree in memory of my baby. My prayers are with you...

Yup, oldies, but goodies. :laughing: plus southern and more... such as becka (I will always remember her as understanding my cause for encouraging girls to go into science/engineering/tech fields :) ) poohandwendy, DisneyPhD, and crisi are the one's who mostly post what I am thinking so I...

Thanks, Professor. Geez. I did look it up: I can't believe you are more concerned with my grammar. :rolleyes:

You mean vernacular? I don't think we are misunderstanding what she did. I am truly bothered by the OP's post.

Cute. We do that, too, but we call it "backwards night." ;) Yesterday we had fish fried in olive oil and S&P plus lima beans and rice. Tonight we had spaghetti and a salad. I am going to be cooking stir fry tomorrow. I plan to use up batches of Asian noodles in my pantry, too. Thanks...

I find a lot of my recipes in the vintage books I have plus sites like mothering.com and simpleliving.net. I mostly use Dr Bronner's soaps. Here's a recipe for countertop spray: http://livingbeautifullyfrugally.blogspot.com/2007/07/i-love-method-brand-products-countertop.html You can...

smoothies and juices - I use a Magic Bullet or my Vitamix. non traditional foods like soup or pizza :)

Well, let me preface everyone and say that my husband is a design engineer who works by contract (versus salary). He gets paid plus a per diem to cover living expenses. Even if he signed a contract with the company, he has been laid off in the past many times so there has never been any...

I think you did a great job! That Cars fabric is also the very same fabric that I am using for my youngest daughter's ruffled top. I was fortunate to find a lot of it in a Baltimore WalMart. You are very talented!

Hey, neighbor. :) I've noticed the same thing on the Hampton Roads CL. Sometimes people ask for crazy prices - and not just for furniture. Recently, I remember in the baby and kids section there were instances of people having an asking price of close to retail - and that is for a used toy...
