You post a list of things you'd rather spend money on than getting a new appliance, and you get 32 freakin' comments! I write passionate screeds about the injustice in the world and I get one or two notes, usually saying "You go, girl!" or "get a life." Perhaps I shall begin posting about furniture. Or appliances. I tried posting about tools and those I lost to the recent flood in my basement, but I think that got six comments at most. This is truly discouraging.<BR/>Kudos to you though!

I could use a new TV, ours died and we are using a very small one until we find just the right flat screen AND have a few more funds in the jar. You did come up with some better alternatives to the bore of an appliance. There are other things I hate to spend money on.... pans, sheets, and towels!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976580812752160878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-42372258054473815132008-09-19T04:03:00.000+03:002008-09-19T04:03:00.000+03:00Ya, but what good are new clothes if you cant wash...Ya, but what good are new clothes if you cant wash them???lol...Happy TT and thanks for stopping by:)Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819332544413521893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-30178870605681627652008-09-19T01:46:00.000+03:002008-09-19T01:46:00.000+03:00Oh sigh, how I hate that too : appliances that bre...Oh sigh, how I hate that too : appliances that break down, and also : house repairs.
