I did enjoy watching Cubs highlights. It reminded me of how much I miss baseball.
And I saw a TLC snippet on cheapskates. This couple saved money by doing lots of extreme things.
Oh Terry, what did they do that was strange?
I am glad you asked.
Showered together. 2 minute showers. Every 30 seconds they rotated to get under the faucet. One person put shampoo in their hair and lathered, then the other person took that lather and washed their hair. He used her shaver to shave after she did her underarms and legs. Then they sharpened it. Used the same PIECE of dental floss, shared a toothbrush, kept track of how many flushes each person made so they could figure out how much each person paid for the water bill.
They were married, but kept separate bank accounts and split bills. If they bought a dozen eggs, they split the cost of the eggs and each person got six. One time she did not check the eggs at the store and 4 were broken, so she only got 2 that week.
She locks her snacks up because if she didn't, he would eat all of HER snacks. When she took one out, he asked to share and they each had 1 chip.
But the corker was when they opted for prepaid funerals because the cost of funerals keeps going up. The wanted a basic casket, no linens, linings or pillows, and since he probably would die first, they want one casket to bury him in and when she dies they will dig up the casket and put her in it!
I thought it was a spoof byThe Onion, but I Googled TLC shows and there they were.
Damn crazy people.
And it wasn't like they were saving up to take a vacation, or buy a house, or retire.....they were just cheap.
Sharing dental floss and a toothbrush....just damn disgusting.
Not a lot of progress on the puzzle today.....I sometimes can't see the forest through the trees.
Peace and Love
