Re: Can we please dispense with all references to politics in this forum

Logics, I am sorry you find OP's (Other Poster's) comments maddening. I get it, I really do, but the great thing about this country and this forum is that we can express our support and frustrations with things. I am grateful the comments are isolated to the newly voted-in tax plan and not other pol...

Re: What's your guilty (unfrugal) pleasure and can you find a frugal substitute?

Patty, what a great post to go along with my "year of no spending". Another is craft supplies. I will normally pick them up cheap at dollar stores or thrift stores but for this year I will not be buying any at all - I am challenging myself to only do DIY projects and crafts using what I h...
