As for the money, l took a friend to lunch, bought two new to me skirts and a blouse, bought six books, and a Tunisian crochet hook, and I...

    indoor garden?

    I could put them in a room next to the living room. One wall is mostly window, it faces east. Plus heat would be available. And there are lights there, florescent, will that work?

    indoor garden?

    Probably not. Low on funds. :( I have lots of potting soil, and fertilizer. I could afford seeds, but grow lights and hydroponics are a bit out of my budget for now. I recently lost my job.

    indoor garden?

    My garden outside did poorly this year. I've been thinking about doing something indoors. I'd like to grow some foods, if possible. Does anyone know what would be good? Any help or advice is appreciated! Thanks!

    Picked up my stuff. Two blue ribbons, three white ribbons, and five red ribbons. The carrot cake didn't place, and neither did the blueberry muffins. Got a white ribbon for the brittle, and the buttermilk pie took second. Pickled eggs took top prize, as did my crocheted rug. Kraut took third...

    Yeah, but you have to be careful! Sometimes at auctions, they have "professional bidders ",people to drive up the prices.

    confession time....

    I know what you mean! I see things all the time and think "I could make that myself .....for a lot less! " and sometimes when I go shopping, I look at the price of something, figure in my coupon, and think no I can get a better deal. Sometimes I do, other times I do without.

    confession time....

    I am a.......cheapskate. yes, it's true. I don't buy new things unless they are on sale and I have a coupon for it. My clothes come from yard sales and thrift stores. Food is home cooked, and I'm always on the lookout for free stuff. I thought perhaps this would be a good place for other...
