Lisa you are so ooo right! Being honest with our kids about money is the onlly way to go. My two youngest get it. My oldest never did.
Roberta, use those pinto beans in chili. You can also use pinto beans and white rice in dirty rice.
I took the dogs to the vet this morning. It was a disaster. The little one had to be medicated to get her nails clipped. She threw such a fit, Stuie was a basket case when it was his turn. I am sure he thought we killed Giz. It didn't help when he saw her she could not walk or hold her head up. I posted more details on Friendship thread. What a morning!!
After spending $100 at the vet, then I bought four bags of groceries another $100.
Frugal today will be the neighbor mowing his moms lawn. He is supposed to but more than half the time we end up doing it. No he did do it all last summer because I told him mom ( we are great friends) I would not have time to do it with dh down. This year he isn't doing a great job. He is like our son, very lazy. No job, just drinking and living off mom.
