I live by hard work pays off even if you don't see it on a pay check.

I've been low on money for months now and the other day I needed to buy a new pair of pants. That can be justified to buy in a thrift store when times are bad. Although every time I go in a thrift store I look for vintage video ( formats no longer in use ). That time I saw a number of LaserDiscs for the first time in that store for years. Didn't buy them, knew better. Later that day some one had thrown essentially canvas at over 4x4 off a deck and into the yard as trash. It's fun being an artist and always having paint on hand & brushes to boot.

Today I woke up at 4:10am thanks to the heat and couldn't go back to sleep. It hit me I might as well after doing my normal morning business, I should get to work before the heat of the day sets in. Around 6am I saw a grill by the side of the road labeled "free". ..Over two hours later and feeling sick from the heat on my way back home, no one had taken the grill. I'm going to have some fun cooking outside later today 8) .


Interesting note, I'd been needing a new grill ever since my pet broke the last in Jan. '07. ( She hopped on to it making it crash and break. )< Don't worry it was electic and not plugged in. >
 
Well, it sounds as though you've had a very good day. Don't worry; you are not the only person that I know who goes to shop at discount stores. I'd shop there, but I can't really find anything I like at those stores. My last expedition was to find a suit vest to make a suit three-pieced, but the designs on them were not really what I was looking for... :|

Smoke's started up again here, so I could probably just put a hot dog on a plate, put it outside, and let it cook itself :lol.

Hey thats not the same pet that your dad was sending through the post for your birthday is it???
Did we ever find out what it was?


I still can't believe he did this, I was bad with them even as a kid. He got his adult daughter an ant farm. The pet that knocked down the grill was my cat.

An ant farm! :lol What was he thinking!

Gee, why pay money for them? Anyone who wants ants can have the ones in my kitchen for free!
