JJ I think you are completely right. It does make you cheap.

If you want to have a real nice and fun date then why not have her back to your place and chill out watching a movie. You could even add an extra spice to it by using some pyramat chairs. See more here www.pyramatgamingchairs.co.uk

I agree with Donna. Also, ordering extra food just for leftovers on a date doesn't make you frugal, it makes you cheap (and an expensive date)!

"To drastically reduce food bills, ladies can order large portions for each course when a fellow takes them out to dinner. Then, Captain Frugal says, "Eat a few bites of each and proclaim how stuffed you are. Take the rest home 'for later.'"

Was this written in the 50's?

There are some people who would recycle an old toilet to use...as a toilet!!! Because federal law mandates that new toilets use no more than 1 1/2 gallons per flush, some new toilets don't work as well as the old models, which used 5 gallons or more per flush. Sometimes you have to flush a newer toilet twice for everything to go down. Some people who are recycling older toilets are restoring an older house and want vintage fixtures in their bathrooms; others prefer the performance of the older models, since they only have to be flushed once. They would clean the rust and stains off the old porcelain and install new flushing parts inside the old toilets.

I hope the person who lied to the librarian about "leaving the umbrella behind" does leave something precious to him/her behind and someone else claims it. What if the umbrella claimed was a gift from a dear somebody and the real owner came to claim it? What goes around, comes around. The world is a nicer,safer, lovelier place if we remember the kindergarten and Sunday school lessons from our elders about playing nice with others!!! pj
