Good morning flan and Vette! And all the Geeks! smile

Another nice, cool morning here. I think I'll take my walk before I start doing chores.

I hope everyone has a great day! smile

Good morning! Husband will be gone today so I'm on my own. Probably just clean the house. And spend time here.

I'm being cranky already so it might be an interesting day on the boards for me. For some reason, I'm unable, or unwilling, to stay off the boards when I'm in a snit. biggrin

Hope the walk is lovely fwm, work is wonderful flan and vette, I hope you're in a good place today.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

VoR, you made me laugh right off the bat!!! Go ahead, be in a snit.
Morning all. Cool morning here again.
My plans for the day.....finish all the baby stuff for the shower on Saturday!! ARGH!!

If everything goes as planned I will announce tomorrow. I don't want to jinx it.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I just realized if I had had enough mason jars last night I could have canned my leftover chili. Darn!

Vette · Owl drink to that!

You can can chili?

Haha, that sentence makes me smile :)

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Yes! I learned how to can spaghetti sauce! I COULD have done the same with my chili! I wish I'd thought ahead. I'm new to this canning stuff.

I went to this gourmet burger place for lunch today. My burger had fries, chili and cheese on it. I honestly think it was the messiest thing I've ever eaten.

I know people like that kind of food, but I think it's gross.

Hope it tasted great for you, LL.

It sounds like something I would try but I'm on a diet :(

I don't like burgers like that either. If I had to eat it I'd prob use a fork. Of course I use a fork on chili dogs so there's that.

I used a fork after the first couple of bites.

Her friend likes it. DD is annoyed so BFF and I said we will see the sequel in May without her.

I'm watching Extreme Cheapskates. The length some people go to to save a penny is amazing.

Being cheap like them sure takes a lot of energy. My time is valuable. Sometimes it's better to just spend a buck.

Well, we got through the first session of the Lego Mindstorms program. Luckily, one of the mothers is a teacher so she stayed and helped, which helped me know how to facilitate something like this in the future. They got about half of the first robot done today.

I've been told that some of these women put in 60-80 hours a week couponing. That's a full time job. You could just get a job and pay for the stuff... Just saying.

What kills me is they don't buy a ton of fresh items. It's all boxed and canned. And they are greedy. No one needs to strip the grocery isle of every tube of toothpaste or every can of chef-boy-ardee.

I saw one episode where they bought a whole cart full of deodorant. What are they going to do with all that deodorant?

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

I did see an episode where the lady said she had enough but still did the couponing and then took everything to the food bank. That was nice.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

It is great if they donate the items.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

None of the foods they buy actually look healthy. It's all canned or boxed. Nothing fresh. You don't even see them buying frozen stuff. And I wouldn't know what to do with 40 tubes of toothpaste. We buy four at a time at Sam's and they last us forever.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

I agree NJN. A barrel full of deodorant is disgusting - it's hoarding. And if you have to store your toilet paper under your child's bed and in their closet...you need a hobby, it isn't fair to that child.

If these people spend 60 -80 hours a week couponing, at $10 an hour would get them close to $4000 a month in income. I say get a job.

I might be biased because I dealt with this from the perspective of the business when I worked at Target. Sorry, I will NOT look in the back room for you to get another 2 dozen free bottles of soy sauce.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Who the fvck needs that much soy sauce? Honest to god, I end up throwing mine away because it gets nasty. We buy the tiniest bottle at a time. Sometimes DH marinates steak in it but not often. We just don't use it. I guess if you have the time and want to donate the food to a food bank that's really cool. I like that idea. Otherwise if you're spending that much time on it you need to just get a job.

Vette · Owl drink to that!

I've heard soy sauce is good for your pores and hair.

sike.
