Long day

I have done most of the house work already around here and lots of laundery. Pluss one extra cat fed also while I was at it also. Well my cat won't eat wet food and now I found a cat who will so money on it was not wasted at all. So I know I am early for getting on the computer around here and that is ok. The T.V. is still off around here and the dryer only went on for about 20 min to get undies dry around here. 99.99% of the laundery is hanging on the line outside at this point for today. And after talking to my Grandmother today I have went cheap compaired to some of her other grandbabies in the family. Well I do not have over 150 grand in debt like others also while I am at it at this point in time. I have went cheap for a reason and I am likeing it all. Well it is smart management on my part since I am totally on my own around here and do not have any help at all and refuse to hold my hand out to any family member to have it held over my head for the next 20 years. I have been sitting here and thinking of ways to cut and slash most of the budget once again. The funny thing is that around here I have been shopping for sales for most of the 17 years of being up here along with the bargin racks for to feed the household and then some. While I have been thinking of alot of things I ask for very little anyway from some folks anyway. Eather I am a saint or I refuse to take advantage of someone just becuase. Eather way I am the better person for it all. Also to top it off what pissed me off the most is that I am the cook out of the family anyway. Why not give me the industreal KitchenAid mixer to me. Other than that you will not hear a nother peep out of me on that at all. I guess I will have to take the high road on it and start saveing up for that also around here. I am so use to getting dogged out of both sides of the family that it is not even funny around here anymore. SO I got tired and moved 14 hrs away from everyone down in the St. Louis area. I have not been bothered to much at all from family members that have a need to use and abuse for what they all get in life. Well I do not plan on liveing forever myself and don't bother to try with me becuase I may come back and haunt some folks while I am at it all. So I told my father what I would like to have and went from there. What more could I do.

Another day

I have another day for alot of laundery around here. I got one load out yeaterday and that is ok by me. Today is one of them days to where I will be in and out to hang laundery outside. Pluss I have been ignoring some of the housework again around here. Well I can admit that there has not been enough dishes to do for most of the week so I did let them pile up. So I will be doing a hot load here first thing and go from there. I try to get the towels out first while I am hanging laundery. It is a fource of habbit since they take longer to dry. With almost 16 years of really doing this you learn quick about what and how. Alot of things get repetitive around here. OR rutine eather way. Sometimes you have to do it this way untill it eather works or you give totally up on it. I know some folks who just do not care on what goes on at all. I got asked yesterday of how I do things here since I do live in a trailer. My father diden't know how I did things and still keep the bills low around here. I hardly use the dryer in the summer anyway around here unless it is really early or the sun has went down. Also I start cooking in the convection oven and the cook top on the regular oven. Also I keep a fan going if I do have the A/C unit going. I block off the bedroom also in the massive heat also. There are alot of the tricks that I do around here to keep the bills down. All I could do was laugh and, then he knew that I diden't play with alot of things around here. Pluss I said that I am running a double kitchen once again around here. It is not that hard to do once you get use to it all and know where the sales are going on or hit the Dollar stores to stock up for the truck. Pluss since I do streach out everything around here it keeps me busy around here also. That is once of the nice things about my place also. I can streach even more without a problem nor getting hollared at for what I do. Some folks do not have a say in what I do around here also. That is how it goes with me. Now just recently in the past couple of years here I have been unplugging alot more around my place. The power bill has droped by at least 75 dollars when I got it all straightened out also. Then some in the can noticed in what I had did and said no more of things being plugged in and drawing what we do not need around here. That is why I was so mad at the person who I let stay here. Between the phone charger being plugged in constantly and the deep fryer going at all times I lost my cool and him not washing the dishes properly. With the 3 bills going up to the total of 400 dollars all togeather with one extra person I was mad. So now I have everything almost back to normal and down to a reasonable level once again no more folks are staying at my place period around here for an extended period of time. I will be laying down harshest of rules if I do let someone in to stay. I have got along so far without help from some folks also since my Husband went back to driveing the big trucks. What some have not realized around here is that I can walk to every place from the can. Even though I hate the neighborhood here I like the fact that I can walk to alot of the stores and take my wheel bags with me to do some of the shopping if need be. The only thing that I ask for is a lift out to the reservation about once a month. That is what some folks do not like about me at all. I also do not mind the walk around here at all. Pluss it gives me more of a chance while I am at it to pick up more cans for my wood burning kitchen stove that I want. And I got the chance to explain to some people yesterday of why I diden't want to go all electric also. I pay about 107 around here in the winter time anyway and why drive up that bill even more if and when I get the new place also. That is the bad part of here in Greedy NY State. Most of my power bill is taxes no matter what I do.

Getting stuff done

I have been getting some stuff done today. I felt like doing nothing all day and scraped my toush out of the can. There was a few thing at Kmart that I needed since they were on sale and most of my stuff is almost rags and well you get the point. Tomarrow I will take a walk when I get most of the laundery out on the lines once again and then go. I will pick up cans while I am at it also tomarrow and after yesterday I am hopeing to get a smal bag full of cans to haul home around here. Since most of the folks on SSI and Welfare get paid tomarrow more cans will be chucked out of car windows or bottles it is still a nickle to me eather way. Some things are not to bad around here at all. I have calmed down alot lately and went even cheaper around here as a way to take it out on things that I should have anyway. Alot of things got done that I have been ignoring since it was fairly cold out during the winter. With everything going on around here I have not had the will to put up with things from nobody around the park as of late. Pluss I had the laughing fit of the day sitting at the kitchen table also. I had to not to be rude to someone but I coulden't help it at all. Also I have found out that most of us are putting our feet down on alot of things around where I came from. There is gonna be a total battle and I will win this one also. Well as it was put to me I was the one totally left out of the whole thing to begin with. And a few other things were said also on top of it. Well now I remember of why I moved to NY also none of the mouches from one side of the family come up here at all. Well I am better off more than some are down there. I will admit to that one. I am also alot cheaper also while I am at it all. As I told my father my Kmart card would tell on me without a problem around here. All he could do was laugh at me at that point becuase he knows I never get anything at full price at all. That is part of the joy in my place around here. That and part of the family thinking that they would catch poverty by coming to my place. All I can do is laugh at part of them. Most of them would not survive on what I do anyway around here. Between cutting the dryer sheets in half, useing less of the laundery deturgant, cutting the packaged meat down, hardly any soda to say it is here pluss clipping coupons on top of it all. Oh and the power going out every time you turn around here. That is why I have so many candles around the place. Oh well at least I do not have to worry about it all untill all Hell breaks loose.

Well I got out

I went to Wegmans today for the cans of course. Over 30 dollars later out of the mud room of my can is always a good thing around here. Now for a load of laundery that I have left out there and I am done with all of that after we went garbage picking. There were 3 huge bags of stuff out to the curb and of course we got some of it. And of course my Hubby piled the stuff up in the corner and I diden't get to them untill today. Well since I do alittle at a time around here it is not so bad. I have been hollared at by alot of people except from my Hubby. I work untill I have to sit and go from there. Some realize I get more done when I sit for 15 and work for 15. And it really depends on what I am doing also. Heavy lifting I have to sit for longer. Today was not so bad after I went to the store. It was nice and relaxing as normal to me. What can I say feeding cans is a pain to get the nickel back but, it works for some of us. Anyway maybe this weekend I will get the KitchenAid mixer started up and make a few things in between loads of laundery. Since I have been slacking on the bakeing around here it might be nice to have at least a scratch cake done or a pie one. Like it matters in this house anyway it will get ate eather way. The KitchenAid mixer has been a good buy in my place eather way I go around here. I haven't burnt up a hand mixer since I bought the stand mixer. I have alot of the atachments for it also. I could not pass it up since I can slice veggies, grind meats, and make ice cream in it. Now I haven't checked thier site out for awhile to see what kind of rebates and sales they have there. The site I go to is www.KitchenAid.com. Now how I got my KitchenAid was after almost 20 years of being cheap and I diden't get it from my ex husband niether. Pluss I got it on a Black Friday special. So after that the poor thing has been around for almost 2 years and never failed me as of yet. I figure I have another 48 years with the stand mixer before the brushes have to be replaced in it.

Still plotting

I am still plotting out the day around here. I am wandering what the day will bring eather way around here besides more cleaning on my part once again. I will take a walk tomarrow when it is fairly nice out. It will not be bad once I get started walking again it is just the first couple of days when my legs hurt the most. Anyway I got out for a bit yesterday and loved it. I made my Jackie happy with a new chewy and why shoulden't he be spoiled like my Annie. Well at this point in time I can say that some of us are going very cheap to make it out of here from the park also. Now for the past almost week I have been useing the crafe more and more for the coffee and unplugging the coffee pot. The funny thing is around here is that my Husband is not argueing about what I am doing at all. I can say that I have went cheaper than my poor Hubby now. The poor man does not care in what I do for the most part around here as long as it all works. Also when I am by myself around here I do some odd ball things while I am at it. THings like when I get into the shower after I get the conditioner in my hair and the wash rag wet I turn off the water untill I am done sudsing down. I have started that last year about this time just to see how far the water bill would come down. It came down between the washer and doing that in the shower. Well there is more to do in my eyes to save money around here and I will start trying to add more things here slowly so I can get use to it all. Pluss I have to let the Hubby in on it also to have him yay or nay it while he is here. It does not mean that I can not do it while he is gone also for 5 days a week. That and I know that some folks that come over to my place do not like in what I do around here. I know of 2 folks that just put up a fight eather way. Around here I start hollering when folks throw away the nickel deposits. I figure why throw away money that you can get back. That is why when I go for walks I pick up the bottles and cans. I also take a bag with me and normally I can get from nothing to about a dollar on my walks around here. It depends on what is going on and where I walk at. I throw the extra money back into a jar and have a fund. The fund is the wood burnning cook stove. It will take me a while for it and that is ok in my book. While I am at it all around here I do try to streach out everything that I possably can also. What else can I do while I am alone besides save as much money as I can. And come up with new ways also to save. What I mainly do is sit and look to see what I can do to streach out something and write it down while I am at it. I have note books to write stuff down to remember in what I can try next also.

Well I have not failed at all today

I haven't failed at all today with the power. There are some things in life you have to do like work, pay taxes, and die at the same time. Also it has sunk in with all the taxes that this part of NY State has. Well the 79 dollars does not apply to this part apparently for the bills. So I have been watching hugely on what I have been doing lately and my have everything off by 9 pm around here again. It could be worse around here. I have to do this weather I like it or not around here. I got told today that someone was suprized that some of us were not out of here yet. I am trying trust me to get out of here to say the least. At this point I have to start cracking down on myself to get out of here fully anyway. Now at this point I know why I really can't stand it looking at some trailers around here except the ones that I always did like and I am going dirt cheap right along with it so I can get out of here. Event he person that I talked to and with this after noon is looking also right along with the rest of us. We have no choice in the matter eather way at this point in time. With how the park is being ran and soem that have wood burning heaters can barely run them becuase of the park anyway. This is why I have refused to get mine so far and I still do not have enough to get one even if I wanted to as of yet. Tomarrow will be the walk to get someplace and a part time job while I am at it all. I am looking at it like this I may as well do something while I am waiting around for the word on the place and save up as much as I can eather way. I am so tired of most of the park that it is not even funny at this point in time. The only thing that has kept me going is my dog and Mr. Jackie 3 trailers behind me. Otherwise I would have done lost my marbles by now around here. Pluss the walk tomarrow may do me some good also while I am thinking of it all. The place that I am thinking of is not that far on foot eather way in how I look at it at this point in time and it is a good way for me to pick up cans while I am at it also. A nickel here and there never hurt nobody when some floks are sloppy or just don't give a damn one. Like it matters around here at all. So lets see what tomarrow brings and I will go from there of course. That is the worst part of not knowing what the weather will bring for tomarrow of course. Well watching one of the news channels to got the weather of course they were talking about several things on to save on the electric bills around the place. Well I have had some cfl bulbs for light for over 12 years and yes it is the same bulb. When I started switching them out there was no differance in the bill at the time to cut the power at all.

Lets see

Well yesterday was not so bad after I got thru it. For most of the day everything was off around here. My Husband was laughing becuase, he knew that I wanted to go cheaper in the can. And the letter the so called management said to ignore it. If I get a ticket over it there will be so many gaskets blown up at the lazy person in the office that she won't know what to do after I get done around here. Now what I have done in the past weeks will look like childs play to this blowing up. On top of everything I did get alot done around here and figured let my hands have a rest out of the dish water for one day. I normally wait untill I am alone to get most of the housework done anyway and it makes it alot easier on me also. Then for at least 4 days the place is fairly clean and I get to look at it that way. I do not have to redo anything during the week after I get done so yes it does save some money on that end of the deal. After all said and done I can say that it was a fairly cheap day around here. Pluss it was so quiet that you could have heard a pin drop out in the streets along with the big trucks going. Since I do have 2 Quaker Parrots here in the place some do not realize about how nervous they really are with anyone. Pluss it gets old with 3-5 hours of the radio blasting to where you can hear everything also. I have been mainly quiet around here only becuase you never know who works Midnights around here also. Now I do not mind the radio part of the time when I am not forced to listen to it and get told Tough Shit Deal With it when it is that loud. Witht he car stareos I do not mind becuase they last for maybe 2 min and that is it. I noticed that the boys do not quake and shake as bad over it also. Ok here is to another quiet day I hope and for the totall cheapness while I am at it all around here. I am sitting here looking at the mess in the kitchen and need to clean.

Getting up early

Well this morning I was up by 3:30 am. That is fine by me the more I get done today the better off that I am. Also I get to work by candle light and that is way cool in my book again. It is so quiet that I can not believe it around here this early in the morning. That feeling it will go to snot sometime today is there while I am at it. Oh well at least I have some peace in the mornings around here and enjoy it. I will always be plotting out the mornings and what to do first during the day. Since I am staying home for most of the week around here it is safer that way in my book. Now to start being really cheap this week and some are going to out of luck with me barrowing anything untill they pay me back. Alot of what went on is very poor management of money eather way on thier part. I have always put back enough money for groceries and a few other things around here. Well it stems back to think before you do also and watch what ya buy in the stores. Of course I was looking thru the sale adds yesterday. I may not need anything for the place at this point in time and knowing that some things are 3 for 8 dollars is it really worth the time. What gets to me around here is that since some of us always are looking at the sales adds and there are several good sales one couple will just buy whatever in the store and are totally broke about a week after they get thier food stamps and do not get much from them. Another couple just has peanut butter and jelly all month long also. Granted I know some folks who can't cook to save thier own toushes at all. Still all in all try to cook at least one hot meal a day instead of makeing the school system do it if you have children. I remember acouple of years ago that someone went shopping with me at one of the stores. I ended up with alot of groceries for 50 dollars and for the same amount of money the person that went with me got very few things for her 50 dollars at that time. I adjatated the person to the point she diden't talk to me for about a week after that. I thought it was funny myself. Anyway at least there are times where I can still do everything fairly cheap around here and will be doing everything even cheaper from now on. Between all the bills and a few other things around here I think I have it all covered.

Finally figured it out kinda

Well I am figureing on going cheaper anyway. What I got in the mail is just down right stupid on the Sabre parks part. They are telling us that we have to fix the neighbors shed now. Let me tell ya it will be a cold day in hell when I start dumping money into my own can let alone someone elses can. So now I have really made up my mind to go really really cheap so I can get out of here. Well there is still alot that I can do to cut the costs around here besides staying out of the stores. Most of the times I will go to the grocery store early becuase that is when it is quiet around here and I get better meat deals that way. Anyway at this point there will be a new change with me and trust me I may have to sit on a couple of desks to get my point across also around here. The only thing I am sure of is that I know I have to watch what I do to get out of here. So lets see what I can do to get out of here and how cheap I can really get to. I will be reporting if something does or doesen't work around here.

Rain today

Well when I got up this morning it was already raining. The boys are talking up a storm also this morning. I guess it could be worse. With the day begining I am not sure in what I want to do and I know I have housework to do today. Last night was not a good night at all. I got asked to do something and I want no part of it knowing what has happened 8 years ago with the children. Even though it was found not true in what was said that happened. So with some children I just won't take in at all. Pluss I would have to really think of 3 children to feed also. Some do not know what has gone one period with the 3. Some folks figure that I can take children in for 3 days and not get paid for takeing in the children. Then there is the fact of 3 meals a day and try to figure out with 3 children growing also and CPS knocking at the door becuase of thier father. I have always tried to keep food and other things in the can anyway. Well I am not knocking the children's mother at all I just don't want the problems that goes with the so called father. Since they are on total solid foods now I can really cook on the cheap for the children at this point in time. Pluss I can slip in the vegies without a problem also. The funny thing is, is that some do not realize that I can cook fairly cheap and have enough for a family of 5 without a problem. And have it down to a dollar a person while I am at it all along with some leftovers for the next day. It includes alot of pasta and rice. Some folks have freaked out with what I do cook around here and make it all work. On the food network channel I have alot of the girls beat to a pulp when it comes to cooking on a tight budget around here. When some say 4 folks for 10 dollars that is way to much to me for dinners in my place. Then again there is not much beef in my house except for burger. And there is alot of chicken in the freezer also. Well chicken is so cheap most of the time that it does help. Also I have a rotissory in the convection oven. That is one of the things that sold me on the convection oven besides holding a 12 muffin pan without a problem in it. It works wanders here in keeping the food warm if I am still makeing food and need to keep some things warm. I will start useing the convection oven in the summer months around my place becuase it doesen't heat up the place like the oven does. Now for the cooking on the cheap figure what works best for your place. Now with here I can make some things without a problem at all. There for awhile I thought I was sick of rice and pasta. We had it constantly around here. Then I started mixing it all up. There are nights when I feel like something totally differant also. Now for football season I do make alot of pizza on Sundays. That is how it goes around here. Right along with other finger foods also. Anyway if you plan out a meal it becomes cheaper on you.

Laughing now

Well I was out in the kitchen as normal getting things done for dinner for tonight the Town Clowns pulled up to 34 before noon once again. The girl got into trouble again. Of course the father tried to talk thier way out of it and coulden't do it this time since the other mother was standing right there with whom the girl started on. All I can do is laugh becuase the father tried to talk his way out of it all again. The Town Clowns are getting tired of being called for the kids at 34. That was the 5th time this week they have been there. Well since the so called Park Manager does not want to do nothing about 34 we all will. And I know the kids from Niagara-Wheatfield are still after the kids at 34. I can not last that long at all around here. I have been done for the past 5 years around here. It has went down that far around here. Also I may have a place here shortly anyway. That is the best part about it. Well with what I want to do and I am going cheaper weather folks want me to or not around here also. I am getting my toush and several others in gear around here. When I can say that I do not have to go to the store any time soon at all around here I will stay out of them altogeather for awhile just to piss some folks off around here. This is what happends when you get stocked up also you do not have to go to the store that often also. So I have the upper hand so far around here. With some of the things that I am trying around here I will not know anything for at least a couple of months in the power bill at all. Now also there are several other things that I am trying out around here. One of the things that I am trying is not to run the coffee pot as much in the mornings. Just enough to get the pot of coffee brewed and to shut it down and get into the crafe as soon as possible. Pluss since the days are getting longer I can leave the lights off longer also. It is almost that time to unplug the heat tape also. There are alot more things that I am doing to save money around here also while I am at it. The funny thing is around here between haveing the power off by the power strips, shopping the bargin racks, sales with coupons, hanging out the laundery on nice days and, with streaching out the groceries also I have been saveing money around here. It is hard to believe some times in what very little that I have done so far has worked well for my place. I was always the one to sit in the dark anyway since I have been on my own. I have also been saveing on the water while I am at it all also. The new washer and running 2 sinks full of water with very little dish soap has done wanders on the water consumption also around here. There has been times when some folks have laughed about what I do to streach out the money around here. Untill they found out that I was spending a quarter of what they were on laundery supplies, dish deturgant, and a few other things at my place.

A day of cooking

Well today I will be cooking for most of the day around here. I could figure alot worse things that I could be doing other than that. Pluss I will be cooking on the cheap while I am at it all also may as well as I look at it. A nice thing about cooking on the cheap is that you never know in what you might come up with for dinners and breakfasts during the day. Yes granted in my place there is some stuff that I always have. Others not so often around but,to give a veriaty in the can. Some folks do not realize in what I really do also. I may spend about 200 dollars a month around here and I do make plans of what I want for dinner most of the time also. That is off the once a month shopping. I get alot of chicken and burger for the place. Last month sausage was on sale constantly and I had coupons for the sausage rolls also so I stocked up on that part of it all. With that being said I also have noodles in the place with canned cream soups to go along with what is here in the place. Now there are also things I will never do without here in my place at all. Onions, potatoes, rice, flour, yeast, bakeing powder, and garlic. All of the items I won't do without are the fairly cheap staples that I use on a constant basis around here. Along with the cheap noodle soup packets. When I start with eather the main meat dish I put in the add ons with it. The plan will work for the month as to chicken with potatoes and a veggie, then the next night if I have leftovers from the chicken then it becomes a chicken cassarole. That is how I work the grocery budget around here and end up with a months worth of meals here. Pluss I may have one dish as leftovers also around here for the week. It depends on how much I cook on the weekends also. Now if your household is not a big leftover fan, mix up the leftovers. Make something totally new out of it. I have never seen the leftovers hurt anyone as of yet in over 30 years. The leftovers when I have them saved my place to many times to count also in the past 16 years. There are things that are better the next day also once you think about it. For tonight with dinner is a hamberger fries cassarole. It is not hard to make at all. Tomarrow night may be all breakfast foods for dinner around here. That is what I call mixing up food ideas also. I find it easier to do this becuase my Husband is not that picky at all about what gets slapped on the table. I better get started on somethings around here so I can have dinner by the Hubbs gets back.

Figureing it out still

At this point I am wandering and still thinking no on some things around here. And I am wandering if I can get enough cans to get a wood burning stove soon. Well I will be takeing some of the cans from here in the place back. I may get more when I get up to the store to cash in all the nickles here shortly within the next couple of days here. Now when I started doing this all I diden't think much of it when folks handed me the cans at all. In the past about 6 months or so I have been putting the money from the cans in a jar here. Pluss that doesen't include the cans that I pick up out of the yard and on my walks also. They also go into the jar. I can laugh sometimes about how lazy some folks are around here. Sometimes I have to wait for the TOMARA machine myself. Like I care about it as long as I can excape the can for a bit it is all good in my eyes. Now with about 15 dollars in the jar from folks handing me cans and picking some up along the way I am on my way for a wood burning cook stove. Well with me I am saveing up for it and some understand why I am also. Others figure why bother with it. Well with the bills around here are out of controle becuase the Polititions don't give a rats behind about the folks who work and that are on Social Security also there is a problem. Besides some have poor management of money anyway around here. I live as cheap as I can and some do not like in what I do to cut the bills down at all. I have begun to hang laundery outside again if it is nice out, Along with unplugging everything here in the can. To shopping the sales and useing coupons on top of it all. There are lots of ways I do streach out the dollar as much as I can around here at all times. I am useing less of alot of things and most of the major companies have not caught on yet in what some of us do to save money. In what I do is think do I really need all of what some call for on the lables of bottles and a few other things around here. I am guilty along with some others around here on not eating unless I am hungery. So if that means one meal a day that is it for me. I have always been like this also. Now with 3 meals aday for some folks I can still get it down to 1 dollar to 5 dollars a meal for 2-4 people in the place. Some do not realize this about me at all. When the polititions are doing the fund raisers of 600 dollars a plate I am in total shock becuase that is at least 3 months of food in my place if not more. Most folks would not survive in my place when I go to cooking. That is the funny part about the whole thing. If I did not have the birds the lights would not get turned on at night also around my place. I would be useing alot more candles also. But that is me. Anyway I have not deprived my self of nonthing around here.

Fell behind

Well I know I am really late with the post today. I filled the van up and went out to the reservation already. Pluss a few other things that a Friday brings before my Husband comes home. I will say that nobody can say that I was a slouch this morning at all. I have got more done than some have within a week just in acouple of hours worth of my time. Between everything I am almost considering a friends offer. I said almost. When there is more to do than a gal in heat on a tin roof and bleeding half to death on top of it. It is a situation of dang if I do dang if I don't around here. Pluss the drive times for everything. That is what I have been hung up on eather way pluss the Winter time. The pot holes are getting fixed today here in the slum park also. I damn near fell out of the van if the door wasen't shut. Now for the FEMA Trailers that are up front of the park being eye sores and health hazzords on top of it. Now I know some things will not set up in cold weather and that is why I haven't totally hollered about everything at all. I have kept my mouth shut for the most part about the slum loards around here. In Febuary I started smelling the back off from the sewer system around here and asked if anyone else complained also about it. I figured it was just me and would fix the problem here at my trailer if it was. It is called a huge bottle of Draino and pulling out the Pine needles out of the vent once again. So of course I amde a few phone calls to some of the old park maintenace that are still in the area and the sewer system is colapseing here in the park that the Ass Wipes in Rochester could care less about and the health of thier tenants. Becuase that was my next call was to the health department anyway for NY State. To see what they could do If they were not getting hush money from the park also. It is a well known fact that the Building inspector in the Town of Niagara is still getting the Hush money from Cavalier and Associates along with Sabre park. A quick audit of the books will say so also. Why should anything change in 10 years is how I look at things. Each park manager has been worse than the last one and thy switch out about every 12-18 months around here. All I can do is laugh about some of them. The others who have really stuck to thier guns have been fired or made to quit. Then some of us who can really do some damage around here we mean squat to the owners at all. That is the joys of haveing the knowladge of the Section 233 up here in NY State. And when the government wants nothing to do with it all then I am about ready to take matters into my own hands. WHat is the worst that can happen. A 15 year vacation in Jail to where I know I can have the same cell and 3 meals a day. I would be screaming turn out the lights to the cell and 2 rolls of T.P. I could care less about the others that are there also. There are some things that I can still do and get by with since I am in the right looking out for the elderly and a few others in here. This week I have said that the pot holes are very bad once again. They are getting patched up also. It is amazeing in what one simple blog can do around here, pluss a few phone calls along with the E-mail can do.

Trying something new

Well as of this morning I am trying to keep the coffee in the crafe that I have. As soon as the pot of coffee is brewed it automaticly goes to the crafe. I figured it would save about 6 dollars in power around here in just the coffee pot alone. I have made some changes after yesterday morning and got to really thinking about it all when there was total silents on this end of the park. Well I finally got my Husband to explain why he said no to a friend about moveing to the Southern Tier. Well after all said and done he said that I was nobodies maid also and the answer is still no. I went postal the last time I got treated as a maid and the slave in my own place. I can understand why my Husband said no eather way. Granted I keep to myself anyway, but do not totally isolate me just for the hell of things. I do plan out alot of things around here and I mainly do it a month at a time anyway. To plan out 3 months at a time is just to much when you are not use to it at all. Anyway at least I do shop once a month for the main bulk of the food for the can/household. I know that seems strange to alot of folks. There are some things that I have to get thru the month eather way. I am trying to stop that part at the moment and just go back to once a month shopping. Now I have the grocery bill includeing a few other things comes out to be about 200 dollars a month for 2 of us. Yes granted I do streach the dollars out for groceries around my place. Now normally I get 8 bags of flour from Aldi's every month to 2 months. It depends on how many recipies have flour in them that I cook thru the month. I know of a couple who gets about 275 a month in food stamps. They have almost ran out of food within 2 weeks also of getting them. The both of them would have never survived off of what I got a month years ago. Pluss I was working 80 hrs a week also while I was at it all. I had to find the time to cook, clean, and get to the store. Then everything came back to me on cooking on the cheap also. The both of us in the can ended up with so much rice and a few other things that I started coming up with odd ball combinations on cooking. That is where my beans in mater sauce, rice, and a can of maters came into play. That was a weeks worth of meals right there. I can laugh about it now but, at the time it wasen't at all funny. Also there comes a point to where that is when the total meal planing comes out also. When I found www.hillbillyhousewife.com I loved it. Susanne gave me alot of meals that I had forgot about that were and still are on the cheap. There are alot of things that I have made and got by with in my place. When I only had about 20 dollars for the month to make a months worth of meals out of I got to thinking in how I could do this. It also helps out when you have some things on hand also in the household or the canhold. I started pulling some things in what I use to do when I was really broke also. That is where the dozen eggs, 2 bags of flour, a bag of onions, 2 bags of rice, pluss 2 hamberger bullets, 12 pack of the munchun soups packets, a jar of yeast, and bakeing powder. Well we ate at least in the place and it worked untill the pay checks started coming in again. It wasen't pretty at all when I would start to cook. With the last few days here I did get some things while I was at the flea market also. I was laughing about it yesterday afternoon becuase I got at least 2 weeks worth of food for about 75 dollars. My Husband was in shock over it all. Now granted around here my food bill went up by another 50 dollars becuase I have another kitchen to run while I am at it all. In what I try to do is get everything as cheap as possible around here for both kitchens. Since the truck is way to small to have a fridge in it I have to think of to get things like peanut butter and a few others so my Hsuband can eat also and not pay an arm and a leg for things out on the road. Some folks it would eat up thier pay checks if they only knew. Ok folks it is time to hang out the first load of laundery already.

Plotting the day

Well I already know how the day is going to be for the most part around here. I get alot of things done in the mornings anyway. That is do to heat in the summer and cold in the winter. Between a few things there's not much to do today since I did get most of it done yesterday. In between the one neighbors children being brats and a few other things. Now I will let the 2 birds hollar to thier hearts content today. As I call it the quakers have big bird syndrome and get fairly loud at times. I have to laugh at times about it. There is nothing I can really do to keep them quiet also. I am hopeing for a quiet day without the radios going while I am at it all. I am also waiting on word back from acouple of folks also on what to do besides the advice that I got last night from a dear friend. All I can say is I am quiet and respect most of the neighbors that are quiet around here also. I do not mind when a radio is going that a person has it loud enough to hear it in thier own trailer also. It gets bad when everyone can hear one radio for 2 blocks down and to the back of the one grocery store that is a quarter of a mile away from here. Anyway today I may get out for a bit just becuase. It might do me some good around here. Pluss there are a couple of things that I need to do anyway. So lets see what the day brings and go from there. It will be a cheap day weather I want it to be or not around here.

Shakeing my head

Well maybe I will get a quiet day tomarrow. The best advice I got today way make an example out of the Ass Holes totally. Pretty bad when I can ask a land loard about something and he gives me an honest answer on what he would do and he doesen't even own property that I know of in NY State. I do realize that not every land loard will be a slum loard out of the bunch at all. The birds are so calm at the moment I do not know how to react at all. One of the neighbors on the other corner has the radio up but not loud enough to disturb anyone by any means at all. I diden't know it was on untill I steped outside to let the dog out also. Now when a radio is like that I do not mind what so ever at all. Well after an hour as I found out it is a nusance call if the radio is up that loud in the first place. Even with the car radios going thru I can deal with that also becuase it is like here and gone at the same time. So I am happy I did contact who I did. Now let them do what they pretty much want becuase I will cry foul on them and a few other things in the park. Now I have been cheaper than snot to pay the bills that I have. I am ready to go cheaper now since the crap today broke out. I have my ways and I have figured it out totally now. Some people are out of luck and I will give up some things also around here. Well put it to you this way today is the last day for alot of things around here. One of the joys of being cheap around here is that I get out of here faster than ever. The slum loards can make it without another lot being paid for in rent.

Birds are quiet

Well after 3-4 hours of loud music I have had enough of it. I called the park office to say hay this is what is going on and I got blown off as normal and said I will sit on your desk fro about 6 months now to get my point across. I got told I was threatining the manager. Well I have a few things up my sleeve for this one. I have called CPS the town clowns and finally got someplace with the State troupers barricks and told them the situation of the mess. The Wanderfull dispature guy who answered my call understood when I said that they had a scanner at thier place as soon as the call went out and there goes the radio that was playing Loud Enough to where I could here the music and the words to the song and the dispature heard it over the birds also told me that here is how ya deal with this again. Then made a note of it in the computer about it. Now this has been going on for 2 years at least and this year of all things the boy gets totally thrown out of school also. Robert Keyhole Jr. has only went to school for a month and then got expeled from Niagara Wheatfield school. IF I would have done that I would have been 6 feet under without a problem and never been missed. What has happened to the parents today except for that the government has way to much controle over the parents and children. I am not saying to beat the Hell out of the children but correct them when they are wrong. And no parent should fear thier children at all now adays. So I started makeing phone calls and a few E-mails and I think I have it all covered by now on what is going on. Between the Pot Holes, the Fema trailers that most were unsafe to live in and a few other things around here. MOst of the folks are scared to say anything to the office or the main office becuase, most of us will get evicted out of here PERIOD. I have a place to go to that is what folks do not understand about the whole thing. Pluss I am blunt, truthfull and to the point and will not lie for anyone around me no matter what the Hell it costs me. I am not rich by far and do not care at all. I will come up with money even if I have to hook myself out on the streets to come up with it. Now for the past 2 days around here if not longer I have been eating leftovers and I am willing to go dog snot cheap to cut and slash bills around here. As long as my rent is paid to the Slum Loards there is nothing they can do about me at all if I am right on things that are going on and the SO Called Management should do thier job also. Most of the neighbors will tell ya that they do not even know if I am home or not around here. I am that quiet even with the 2 Quaker Parrots in the can. I keep to myself for a good reason. I play the internet raido loud enough to where I can hear it and none of the neighbors most of the time, and the neighbors know they are more than welcome to come over while I am cooking out side on the grill. I do not ask for much around here bring a dish and your own beer or what you want to drink also and I will supply the meat. That is how I am and do not care. Most of the neighbors I will give the shirt off my back for and go from there except one place. When a child pops off with first thing she hates me to another child out of the neighborhood I really do not like the child at all. And I gave the child a fair chance with me and my belief system. So after that I have tried to ignore everything that has went on and when my T.V. is up above the half way mark and I still can not hear it and the birds are going nuts then I have a problem. I have over 400 dollars worth of birds that I have adopted and took into my place. And nobody can tell me that I do not have a heart also. The concence is a totally differant story at this point in time. Now that I have made up my mind to go really dirt cheap around here some folks will figure things out after I leave around here. I hope that I can find a real Bastard to move in after I do here in the can that won't give a Damn on what the children have and just beat the Hell out of the father for ignoring the Children. That does not include the Dog that has been out 24/7 in the weather also across the street. That is my next phone call also. Now with all that being said I could care what I loose here. I have nothing to loose anyway. I can have my place packed withing 3 days and moved by the 4th day to another place. If not less. Pluss to top it off I can live without power and a few other things. That is what some folks do not understand at all.

Mondays

Well I diden't get nothing done yesterday at all except for the pictures. Today I will be going thru the can and cleaning for most of the day anyway. It is not bad as it sounds at all around here. It is the dishes that I diden't get to and a few other things also. At least the can is not that bad at all. I did get the second kitchen stocked up once again for at least 2 weeks around here and that is always a nice thing. Since I do not eat many chips at all most of the bags of chips are going with my Husband. I should start makeing my own for the poor man. Since there is not alot of room in the truck he takes about a weeks worth of groceries with him. So eather way there is alot of planning and ok what would he want in the truck with him. I ended up with some doubles and triples of things for the truck also. Since Kmart was on the way home I stoped in and went from there. I am waiting for the total on my card to bounce up also around here. I already have $1.60 on my card not includeing what I spent yesterday. Yes it is a slow go for the money on the card and that is ok. I have another 7 months before I even bother to use the money on the card and alot of shopping to do for the rest of the year also. I figure it is free money that is being held back for the shopping that I do. And I will let it all build up also. The poor cashier yesterday got blasted with keep the money on the card that is already there. She is like not a problem. She is doing the same thing of when there is a broke time for her she will use the card points. We both laughed about it. I figure with all the pets and a few other things I have it covered for January. I can always hope for it. Now with everything going down at this point in time and some things are up in the air as normal I am thinking way to much on who I really want to deal with everything. The answer that I came up with is go totally to the cheap/frugal side and tough bones on other folks in the place. With that being said here I will be revamping the place once again. Well a cheaper walk with life will not hurt anyone at all in the can. I will be doing more around here to save money. Since it is starting to get nice again outside I will use it to my advantage also around here. With alot of things going on with most of the power bill being taxes I will start useing less of the power. Yes I am cutting back on the power around here also once again. I have my tricks still on how to do this. I was thinking of this yesterday also while I was doing some running outside of the can. As always I am finding more ways to get everything down in the place. I say it is a never ending battle once you get started on cutting things down to dirt cheap. I started this 20 years ago for going more frugal or cheap in my first place. I took the things that I already knew about and added on thru the years also. Now I keep adding on or find a differant way on how I can work something better. My Mom the last time I was there started laughing that I was just compleatly out of my mind on some things in what I was doing. Pluss she knew that I had cleaned also when she went to the doctors that day. I was working with bleach and I diden't want it to bother her at all while I was cleaning. By the time she got back the place was dusted, mopped, and the bathroom sparkled brighter than when my Oldest Sister tags it down. I still got hollared at and all I could tell her was that was your nose burning when ya walked in then I cleaned. Well what could I do I could not tell my Mother no at all while I was there. My sister walked in before we left also and was in shock that she diden't have to do much to the house. I think more shock set in becuase I was walking into the bedroom to remake the beds and I was done in 2 min flat. Well that is what happends when I started doing hotel work and doing my won house work for years by then also. And remakeing the beds are not at the top of my list on things to do anyway. Ok folks I have to try to start in on the can and clean.

Well now realizing

Well I know of why and what if's now. It takes me a bit to figure out of why and what the Hell happended for some things around here. I figured out alot while I was out of the place today. I went to Kmart today also while I was out. Now I have been the cheap one always to keep the place going around here. Some folks have realized this over the years. Others say that I am the "Rich Bitch" on the block. What alot of it is, is that I save up for things and go from there. Now it took me over 20 years to get my KitchenAid stand mixer. I told this husband I wanted one and when we could afford it and I got one. Once the child support ended from a child who believed her mother and never got the other side of the story on things. Well after thinking of it hard and heavy for about 3 weeks since some folks do not have a spine nor a linder spine they are not worth my time at all. I got things since I am cheap and frugal at the same time around the can. That is the only reason I agreed to stay in this God forsaken slum park to begin with. Now that I have put my foot totally down and just don't give a damn anymore, now it is my turn to get for my Husband and make him let go in away. Now that I keep working the budget like I do around here I will make it all happen for him. I will be getting cheaper around here and I don't care at all. Since I am here alone for a week at a time I can do all of this without a total problem around here. The whole funny part of it all is that I can really do this and get by with it all. With alot of things I am a terror in a way. Now the other night my Niece said that she diden't know that I could get by with so much with her uncle at all. I looked at her and said ya better thank my ex husband for that one. Well I will admit that I stuck my foot down with this Husband and ment it all. I do not put up with much and when I do bite my tounge, I stew in alot of things untill I blow up over it all. Well after I blew up I sort of stuck my foot up my step daughters toush also. Now there will be no money going out for her and the rest of it she is on her own for and I don't care. My Mother started laughing today becuase I held down 3 jobs pluss went to school at the same time time my step daughter got prego. I have been out in the world since 16 and never had my doubts on squat. It has been 20 years this year since I have left the nest also.

Shakeing my head

Well yesterday I got alot done around here. Pluss I got to visit with others also while I was at it. For today I get to do more when I get back to the can of course and that is ok by me. Alot of the cleaning can wait in my place. Today is a normal Monday I get to clean and run to the bank and go see family also. While I am out going to the bank I may as well see family also. Also I have been paying bills this morning while I am at it all. That is why I like the net around here. Some of the bills get paied on line and some I have to write checks for. I refuse to have the lot rent on direct payment. They will get the money by the 10th of every month. The Slum Loards do not need to dip into my account any more than what they already do. I got the letter and I started laughing untill I had tears running down my cheeks. Even my Husband said no they are not doing this to us. How they will run it all is that rent is 355 a month at this point. They want to charge all differant rates for everyone that is left in the park. They can't even fill the pot holes so what makes them figure that I will let them take out thier cut once a month as an automatic payment. Then this way I can hand the rent over and not get the evection notice becuase it diden't kick over also. Anyway at this point in time I almost forgot about the bird cages that I have to clean out today. Ok so I am kind of on overload around here for a Monday morning. At least that is one of the easier things to do around here. Well I haven't made out the list yet. My Niece thought it was a cool thing to do as a reminder. She was also asking what the lines at the end of everything ment. So I told her that when I got done with something I got to check the thing off the list. I use the post it note things. I use both sides of the post it note around here also. It drives some bananas around here in the can when I do stuff like that. Some like it also it depends on the person. Pluss some of us were talking about how cheap we can get around the households also. I have most folks beat to snot on being cheap. I also know that some have me just beat also. Ok I have to get started around here and not sit on my toush.

Haveing quietness

I have a quiet place for the moment. And the pile of dishes are not going anywhere untill I get ahold of them. At this point I am ploting on how to get the day done around here. Pluss this week some days are going to be nice so I will be going for a walk this week. It will clear out my mind somewhat and I can pick up cans while I am at it all. Yes I still have a fund out there for my woodburning stove. It may turn into an extra house fund also while I am at it. Well I have been wanting for the past 10 years to get out of the can anyway and now is the time that some of us can swing it. With the lot rent going up like it has been and nothing is being done with the extra money that I am shelling out I may as well pay taxes and sit on the Mayor's desk and get something done that way. I have held out long enough in the can also and it is time that my Husband and I got a house. I had the poor guy doing the taxes this year just in laughture. He asked what I did for work. Telling him I was head maid, cook, and book keeper he understood. Now to get cracking on myself to get more walks in it will do me some good. Also it will help with rearangeing the budget around here and more dinner ideas. And Summer is coming up so that means more of the nickels I can get on my walks. That goes hand in hand with the cheapness out of me. It gets me out of the can and clears my mind. The fresh air does some of us good anyway. Anyway at this point I will be adding more cheapness to my life here in the coming weeks around here. The more that gets done the more I save around here also and the quicker I get out of here. There are alot of changes that are going to be going on during the week. With my self being here it is an easy transition. The funny part of it all is that I don't have to give addresses out to some folks if and when I do move out of here. I have gave up on some folks that never have bothered with me after when I have asked the hard questions. So that is why I will not bother with some folks. Anyway over the years I have got to the point of doing what I have to do for myself and acouple of others also. Pluss I went even cheaper over the years while I was at it all also. I think that is what has just irritated more folks than anything else that I have done. Well my Niece has figured it all out in how I have done things within all most a week of being here. All I could do was laugh about it.

Family Fueds

I over bought today and that is ok by me. I also over cook while I am at it all. Well I thought more folks were coming over today also. Oh well at least I have food in the place once again. Pluss not only that some folks just do not know what they are missing with my cooking. Homemade sauce even around here and yummy. So here I sit and wait on some things and oh well. Well after the bakery today I may gain before I can loose some weight around here. There was to many goodies that I did pick up. Anyway I was going thru old pic's of myself and my husband around here. I have to laugh about the hair on some of us around here. And some do not know what they are missing at all. It is that persons loss on things and not mine. The person I am saying about is somewhat relation to me and here is to another 300 years of family fueds in the makeing. Never trust families that move from out of the area as I say becuase ya never know who you are related to at all. I was gonna let some things rest in peace not any more. Now I know why battles go on for years. Well knowing in how I am I can not let this one go at all. Sorry my name says it all. I have not changed out of my madin name period and will refuse to. I use both names and big fat harry deal in my book. Well I will do as I see fit and always will. That is how I was raised and I am not the spinless balless person that folks figure me to be at all. Well I got sick of folks like that when I was in High School since I was married to my first husband. Well I have been on my own since 16 years of age if not before. I am suprized that I have made it to almost 36. I have lived and learned thru the years and loved most of what went on. Would I traid it for anything not a chance in Hell.

Just sat down

I have just sat down for the first time since about 10 am this morning. I have been on the run since about 9 am also. I love the flea/farmers market where we go to. It is alot cheaper going out there for alot of stuff than it is to buy it in the grocery store. Dinner is almost done also while I was at it all today. I have streached out the dollars pretty far today while I was out and about also. Now to start for the baby food thank goodness for some appliances around here that I have required over the years. Even though I can go without power most of the time around here. I have to laugh sometimes around here becuase, there are times where I just do not care to do and see also. Today has been kind of wierd, since it has been so long since I have been to the flea market. Here come spring, summer, and fall that is when the farmers market side of it really opens up and lots of good things come out. Pluss all the prices out that way goes down also on the veggies and fruits. Pluss there are sever other vinders that I hit up also while I am there. Some of the folks I have worked with and threw out of my office with great fun. Yes I am a terror when I need to be. That is how I am and always will be. Then there are times when I am just plain out evile and right at the same time. When I say that there is no right nor wrong way of doing some things it also depends on what the persons needs are and what they are after. With me I can make it without some things in life. IF I could go with solar power I would be happy with a wood burning cook stove also for heat. Lights I can deal without along with other things in the place that I am at. There are so many gatgets that a person can have. And why bother to keep up with anyone else in the world. I will say that I enjoy streaching out the dollars in my place. I want to see how far I can go makeing everyone scream that it is not possible for me to do it all nor cut as much as I have. I also try to cook as cheap as I can around here also. When I can get food for fairly cheap I will do it. If it means cooking from scratch it will get done in my place. I look at the total cost of what is cheaper pre made stuff out of the box or the cooking from scratch. If you can find a way to do something cheaper go for it. There are times when I still find some whay of doing something cheaper around here in the place. Or start reading and find something that I have missed and would try around here. Some things I try again if I have failed before. I will always try new things here in my household and go from there. Some will never know my ways of doing things unless they read the blog here. Now I have started with the coupons and the laundery area. I will admit to it. Then slowly after that I started adding things here in my household/canhold. I am still adding things to be cheaper in my place. Some are things that I have learned it has made since to me on what was said. So I have tried some things and they have worked out for me. Ok folks more for later.

Well today

Today I am going to the Flea/Farmars market today. I need some things anyway and it is cheaper over there than out in the regular stores. The fruits and vegies are alot better also when I know which farm they are coming from. Anyway in the past few weeks here I have came to realize that I can do more around here to be cheaper/frugal. Since I am here alone for 5-6 days a week I can handle it. Alot of what I can get done here will be on those days when I am alone. I see alot of the bills just going down even further than I expected also. I do not watch much T.V. anyway around here and during the day I have it off compleately includeing the power strip. Pluss everything is unplugged around my place also for the most part. Some folks have hollared at me for unplugging everything. Well when the power bill is mainly taxes I will do everything I can to keep the usage down as much as I can. The bill was 107 dollars and 27 dollars was what we used the rest is taxes thanks to NY State's greediness. That is how it is around here also in a trailer park. When the lot rent goes up I start clipping more coupons and cutting back also on alot of things. Some of the folks I hang out with always laughs about how I keep from squeeking when I walk around here. I have cut, slashed, and streached out alot of things around here over the years and keep on going with rebudgeting also. When it takes me at least 2 months on a small bottle of dish deturgant to go thru I know I am really streaching out the dollars there.

Some things

Now I have left some things alone over the years PERIOD. Now I have walked out of someones life totally and feel ok with it all. I have put my food town on alot and got blamed also for it. At least I am ok for what I did and got shoved out with trying to do what was right in life. Now I am sorry for not putting my foot down earlier and makeing folks move when I should have. I still have money eather way and afew other things now is the time on what I should have done years ago. Maybe that is what is bothering some folks about me is that I am very blunt and to the point that I just do not give a rats behind anymore on things. I have moved to a me stage on things and now I am happy that I have. Other wise I would have not known some folks and happy that I have opened my place up to some family members also. And I know why some family fueds go on for years upon years now. I will make sure that one stays for the next 300 years eather way. And of why some folks come back to haunt others also in life. My Mother In Law is a blessing to me when I do see her from beyond. I know I am on track when she does show up to me and I can see her. I have said my piece and I am letting alot go now. I have no choice in the matter anymore. As long as I know I have done right in my life and tried to make things right eather way I am ok with it all. As some people who know me have said eather you love me or totally hate me it will not bother me eather way. I just can't let it all affect me eather way at all. I will wander about a spineless child who hasen't bothered to listen to the other side at all and go from there. All I was doing was makeing sure that someone was alright and went from there and now I hope that she will never know about me nor her own biological father at all. So that means that my first thru 3rd guesses were right and now I do not have to say a thing at all nor put the anouncement into the paper on squat that goes on. Now I have a reason and then some of what I have been doing and will get even cheaper/frugal in life around here. Now I will get things on sale and with coupons when I am at the store and alot of other things that some will never know at all. Some things are better left unsaid and some who gave me the advice was totally right on the mark. I have came up swinging for a reason and I will admit that I am the rock out of the family. As the saying also goes that God may shut the door on some things and He always leaves a window open for other things to come into your life. So now I will be looking at the saying in a whole new light and will count my blessings on alot of things from now on. I have not got pregnate for a reason so far and knowing the reasons of why I haven't. I will be looking into that all togeather and there is always adoption as another way also. I have had my medical problems I will not deny that. And knowing the family on the one side I will be trying like gang busters around here to have Children just for my Husband and myself. At least to carry on the family name from both sides. I am not a product from my father side at all I will admit to that much. I am my mother the person who raised me thru and thru and my work ethic may come from all sides of the family. I have worked hard for most of my life and keep proveing myself on a daily basis. After a while you need a break in life and I haven't found it as of yet. Even though good friends and family have pumped me up thru the years and I have the appreciation for that. Well now I know that several friends and family were right about some things in life as of now. You can't pick your family but, you can pick your friends a Hell of alot better. Also my Niece was also right on the situation along with someone else not my loss on the long term at all. I know who I am and someone elses loss for not knowing me at all. Ok folks that is what I have to say for now. Go on and be cheap on your own pace.

Well I get to cook today

I will be cooking for most of the day today. I am not worried about it at all around here. It is just alot of prep work to get more done. At least I will be cooking for family that I like also around here. The fun part is that I will not have any leftovers by the time everyone is done eating. Some will be missing out of the good food and conversation of it all. After I got the sauce done about 2 weeks ago I have had some happy campers in my can. The sauce wasen't as expensive as some might think of it. That is what I get for shopping the bargin racks for the dent cans of tomatoes. One of the cashiers where I go to to hit the rack has been there for years she started laughing becuase she knew that I was going to make sauce and cookies when I put away the groceries that day. Well after 10 years of her working at the one store you get to know folks after that long. So anyway the meatballs will be done today and 2 loaves of bread also. So I will have a somewhat busy day today. Pluss knowing the boys they will be wanting to be picked up also. Just another day in my place I could say. Well at least I am never board around here with cleaning and a few other things that go on. And I have lost most of the family drama also this week and I am likeing it. Here is for another 300 years of fueds in the family. The only drama that I really get is the kids outside. Go figure on that one and most of them I point and laugh at anyway. One of the neighbors had asked me how I manage to do things around here on the cheap. I told him some of the things that I did and he said he coulden't do it that way. I told him it was his loss on the few things that I had told him about. Well some things are easy like cutting the dryer sheets in half and useing less laundery deturgant. There are ways to cut costs all of the time in the household. Most of it I have been doing for years just to streach out everything. Some things do not work for me at all that I have tried. Like washing the foil after I get done bakeing. Some of the plastic bags I do reuse. When I go to cut the dryer sheets I do not bother to wash them out at all and the bags are still good. I get have of a box of the sheets cut them in half and plunk them in the zipper bags. Yes it gets smelly while you are cutting them and that is ok. I have not bought dryer sheets for about a year now. When I get what I call loose burger the stuff that comes from the meat counter. I split it in half pound sizes for the can around here. That is some of the tricks. Another is when you go to pre treat something for the laundery in what I do is spray it down rub for a min and throw it in the pile of the dirty stuff. The things do not have spots at all after I started with that. I will say it again there is no right nor wrong way of being cheap. It depends on the person and the household.

Ok I have started on my rampage again

I am both cheap and very blunt about things and thank the woman who raised me right on both things. I have got blamed, mulled, and tacked to the wall in the past couple of weeks here for reaching out my hand in good faith. I have steped up to the plate for the past 16 years becuase that is all I know how to do in what I have been delt with. Since my step daughter has no Balls and no spine to work with I do not feel sorry for her at all for not stepping up to the plate after all thies years and I did waht she asked of me to do. I got blamed for breaking into her E-mail account which I expected and blamed for what she had said to begin with. Well working in Computers as long as I have it is not hard to break in and steal pass words and screen names at all any more. Pluss the Little Girl broke her Father my Husband to HELL. I told him she ain't worth it anymore without the balls and he turned his rage on me. So a screaming match broke out and I still won since I went totally silent on my Husband and the voice of reason. What some do not know is that they will never know my children from my husband and never will. SInce I got totally blasted and it is one of the regreats that I have always had in my life of not knowing my Baby Brothers at all. I am seeing this all over again. My door has been always open untill about 2 weeks ago when I got told to Fuck off and die in so many words by a girl that I have loved and had faith on to do the right thing in life. In the past 4 years I have crawled into the bottle and back out dealing with what I have delt with. And I will admit that 12 deaths in one year is alittle much on anyone. I haven't even told some that thier Auntie has passed on becuase she ain't worth the time nor trouble on it. I have been known as the liar for over 33 years of my life and have told the God's honest truth on everything. Pluss I was always scared that I would be 6 foot under if I did lie about something growing up. Some folks know I will not lie to save my own toush anyway. Still in all I went against my better judgement and got blamed still for what I had no part in except reaching out to someone. Pluss I know some things that have went on that some do not know about. Like family fueds that have been going on for 150 years by accident and an adoption. Pluss a few other things that my husbands ex accussed him of of what he diden't do to someone.
