Stingy or Frugal?



Growing up it was the family joke the way my Mother was very thrifty. As a lot of people were who were brought up during the depression or rationed during WWII. Only I called it "stingy" and "tight". For instance, after slightly using a paper towel, she'd carefully hang it up to dry so she could later re-use it. We weren't poor by any stretch of the imagination. I guess you'd call us middle-class. Now that I'm much older, I'm kinda glad that I retained some of her unique frugality. It's helpful when you try to live on a budget and raise a family. Thanks, Mother. I learned a lot from you about being thrifty. But I do have my limits. At least I haven't re-used any paper towels yet...........today.



Quadra-Boobs



Have you girls ever had quadra-boobs? [Guys are thinking, 'Yes, quadra must mean "four". So it's gotta be a good thing, right?'] It's when you put on a bra and it's the one that's too small on you. You end up with 2 little boobs popping up over the top of your bra....piggy-backing on the big ones. No, four boobs are not a good thing. Well, not in my neighborhood.
