I'll just have water

We didn't play marbles very often. Tube of BBs for the one shot BB pistol.

For us, it was .38 slugs for slingshot ammo. There was an abandoned police shooting range nearby and an endless supply.

It's amazing how coordinated your body is and how close you come to so many things without ever realizing it.

I first learned this when I got my first pager and wore it on my belt. Constantly bumping it into stuff that I never hit before, but it was only 1" thick.

I was on call 24/7 for thirty years and kept a pager even when cell phones came in due to the cost of air time. It took the better part of a year to realize I didn't need it anymore when I noticed it wasn't on my hip.

Not a sight I would want to see!

Don't worry. That's also NOT a sight I'd want to show.

I'm wearing mostly cargo pants now but have a problem with the pocket on my thigh getting caught on Kitchen cupboard knobs. Doesn't happen too often but it's quite a shock when it does. I'm worried about ripping off a door.

Lever-style door handles always seem to get me. Catch a belt loop on them.

I have in floor registers and in the winter my lounge pants catch on them while walking over them. Darn near fall down every time. I probably should do something about it before I break a hip.

The largest part of our house was built in two phases, 1730’s and 1770’s. Most of the oldest Suffolk thumb latches were replaced with rim locks in an 1820’s renovation, but a few still remain which we use dozens of times every day.

Between the big hook style catches on the door jambs, the drop bar that sticks out from the edge of the door, the lift/pull on one side of the door and the thumb latches itself on the other, it’s basically impossible to walk anywhere near one of those things without catching some article of clothing on them. I lost quite a few belt loops, until I developed the habit of giving them a wider birth when running around the house.

I forgo garbage service in lieu of dropping it in the dumpster at work, likewise I fill gallon jugs of water at work for drinking at home. Those 2 things combined are probably saving me about $1000/year. There are many others like grinding our own meat, buying in bulk, paying annually rather than monthly etc.

Every once in awhile I am amazed by someone's cheapness.

Damn man...I bet you steal the toilet paper, or highly considered it.

Seriously, a guy where I worked used to steal toilet paper.

I save money by buying used toilet paper at less than 1/3 the price of new.


Just kidding!

I've worked for the same owner for over 33 years. I've never stolen anything and never would. He knows I haul water and use his dumpster. As I said before, it's about a $1000 saving per year and maybe $15000 over the past 33. Every little bit helps the bottom line.
