Still shaking my head

At this point in time since I do print out coupons from the Internet and I get a tool bar with the printable coupons here it makes me wander in why some would holler about a tool bar on my big system period when they do not use it at all.  Since I am really done at this time with some folks and the Mac that I have was the last straw on things totally.  With that said for the one couple I have played nice for way to long around here with them and now I am noticing signs from before and let one know about part of it.  I did not tell all of it in what was really on my mind.  Alot of it over the years part of it I ate and kept my mouth shut the other part is still in the memo department.  Then again they were not my kids at all I was just the babysitter and had to let alot of it go in what was going on except for in the trailer when I had them with me.  Now at this point in time the girls did not draw on my walls with what they could get their hands on and there was only one time when one of the girls wet the bed and she caught it from me and got spanked for it, after that I did not have any problems at all when she was at the trailer on wetting the bed during a nap or down for the night.  When the 2 little ones at the time (they are teens now) went to their parents house they wet the bed once a night at least and were down for the night at 6 pm period.  The cut off time was about 6:30 for drinks in the winter 7 during the summer and they got stuck on the pot before they went to sleep at 8:30 at night.  That was the same time I was getting outfits for the girls from yard sales and other places dirt cheap at my place and they would go thru the washer and worn again.  So at this point the girls still remember in what I was trying to do for them and will still do around my place for them totally.  I may be the cheap Auntie and that is fine by them still to this day.  I think that is what is bothering the girls parents to this day is that I could do and did with their girls and I am still there for them no matter what the heck goes on.  Now the oldest out of the girls will hold her hand out when I go to where she works at for coupons.  It is like she expects me to have them on me at all times when I do shop and most of the times I do around here.  There are other parts that some do not know that I have done and will do to put extra money into the household here at this point in time.  Things like picking up nickels along the way on a walk or in the parking lot before I go in and shop.  Also I have been cutting alot of things down over the years that the girls knew about and never told their mother nor father at all.  And I have cut down alot more over the past 10 plus years around the trailer and here at the household also.  With the phone deal it just got to much when we moved into the house with all the rest of the bills and now I can say that since I did cut that part here it is an extra 50 dollars back into the house.  So now at this point in time here also more of the laundry is going outside on the drying racks and some people that have came over and seen that part say that I am the stupid one for doing something like that to save money yet again around the household.  Now I can hang laundry all year long and not think twice about it at all.  Also during the day everything is off here in the household except maybe a radio at times to help cut the costs of things while I am at it.  I guess this is why I have been thru 3 washers in the past 18 years of being up in NY State also.  Another thing that got to me was that the person here last week of course was complaining about having the A/C unit down at his place this summer.  All I could do was shake my head at that point in time.  Here I have no a coil for the furnace at all and I do not have the stand alone here from the trailer so I ended up with 2 window units for the house and they work well for the main floor and my bedroom.  The one I got first thing and the other I got my 10% off of with a coupons from the one store I go to all of the time down the street from me.  This is what some can not understand about in what I do for my place at all.  The window units I treat different around here just like I did before.  With that said 2 doors are still closed up and normally I close the bathroom door, and hung a curtain up going down stairs and for the upstairs bathroom I crack the bathroom door for the cat to help keep it cool.  So it is the little things that help out around here to save money also.
