I'm really loose with my money as well.

One of the fabric stores my wife frequents is going out of business, because the owner died. One of my wife's friends (a school teacher, believe it or not) paid $1k for material, which by this time in the sale was 90% off. Crazy. I consider myself fortunate that my wife only dropped about $500. I do wood working and wood carving and do my best to spend as little as possible, including buying furniture from the local Habitat store as a source for wood. I don't spend that much in a multiple-year span.
I'm going to have to up my game, I guess.

That's quite a thought.
Give me fabrics or give me fuck-me pumps for the corner.

I've already been instructed that our proposed library will NOT be used for new tool storage 'just until I find a place'. You leave ONE mitre saw in the front room for three months and you never hear the end of it.

So, to you, odors are like subwoofers sound to the rest of us.

Subwoofers? Is that like an obedient little dog?

It's hard for me to believe that grandchild #2 turns 17 today. Sure glad I got to see her in May...it had been a long time.

Just thought I'd let you know, without examining it closely, your current avatar looks like a bearded Arab. The small size when reduced from the original you submitted doesn't help.
