Took a load of donations over to the thrift store.
Feels good when I can haul this crap outta here.
On the way home we stopped behind the Big Lots
shopping center to find more boxes to bring home.
This REALLY irritated us!!
We got stopped by security that had nothing
better to do and was told we could not take
boxes! Now is that a crock of crap or what???!!!
It was obvious we weren't dumping anything
in a dumpster that was overflowing.
And the dumpster was marked cardboard.
So what the hell was the problem?
He could have stood there and watched
us take a few boxes and could have
saw we weren't there to cause trouble.
We were trying to do Mother Earth a favor
by recycling some boxes. But I guess
they would rather see them go to the
landfill. GRRRRR that just bugs the crap
outta me!!!

Spent the day working on getting "The Buggy"
(that's my nickname for it) all cleaned up
and an oil change.
She will take some getting used to
as it is smaller than our Explorer.
The boys have to get a little closer
and show some brotherly love.
You gotta do what you gotta do to save
money even if it means getting a smaller
vehicle. Everyone will just have to cope!
Hey at least the spare tire isn't located
underneath the vehicle. Is that the stupidest
place to put one or what? The chances of getting
that bolt or wingnut holding it in place after
years of road debris and salt are slim to none.
Whatever happened to the good old fashioned
putting them inside the vehicle?
Oh well at least I can get to this one if need be!
And I have to add this funny lil note.
The kids keep thinking we are calling it a
Tractor instead of Tracker. LMAO
FRUGAL LIVING IN COLUMBUS,OHIO Frugal living is a lifestyle that involves careful planning and spending as well as avoiding waste. It's not about being cheap; it's really about being practical and making the most of available resources through various methods of saving money, reusing existing items instead of buying new ones, and finding bargains and good deals. The premise is that a person shouldn't pay more for something if he or she doesn't have to.
