    Life is good.

    Got my first reciprocating saw today finally! Had a rug that I got (free) from a foreclosure clean out (just by pestering the workers) and traded it today for my new tool (also got fifteen bucks off a mini-fridge-the last one I bought is %$#@ , so I'm gonna scrap it!).

    Went to buy medicine for my dog. The guy at the checkout (the manager, I think) asked me how much it was because it wasn't scanning and I told him. It was actually pretty expensive and he looked surprised that I told him the truth. So I said, "but you could give it to me half price for being so honest".....and he did!

    Yesterday, I got into a gardening class I really wanted to take but didn't have the $65.00 fee for - I told the woman my situation and she gave me a scholarship!



    Got two used knives today for 25% off - just by asking, I'm going to use them to strip the large coil of five strand copper wire I found while trash picking on New Year's Day.

    Life is good. My friend told me to make sure to buy a lottery ticket today!

    Not so much when you consider that the local jail actually charges you for room and board!

    hemp grows like a weed.

    glad things are workin out for ya scrapette, may the wind always be at our back, the rain always five minits behind you, and the walk always be down hill.
