King George is turning into an adventure since we moved there. Oven fires in the neighborhood, power outages, water main breaks. Is a tornado next?
Nope just a case of the Tritty's

I took my parents with me to look at a house not long ago, my dad looked around the master suite and said "son, you realize this suite is bigger than the house we raised you in right?"

I'm very frugal too. There was a time I wouldn't spend anything on myself. I still buy most of my clothes from thrift stores. It's been in the last 5 years I've actually allowed myself to reward myself.

I saw those Saturday night at about $19.75. Was going to pull the trigger on a couple but didn't. Now I see there are only 4 under $30.
