when i first came on this site i assumed it was "just another frugal site linked from another page i had been on. i am on like 27 yahoo groups just for fruglaity and so many linked pages to see oftne to keep up with recipes. you see this past year i had alot happen in septenber my two older kids moved out and move away to go to college away from home. i then got divorced in novemver 1st my youngest decided she was used to dads high living of 75,00 a year and moms income went down to 556.00 a month so she then moved in with him. so you see two kids moved, divorced, then youngest moved, oh did i also mention i lost my job of 17 years that i was making 55,000 a year as well due to a ovelry severe depressive mood swing due to me being bi-polar and went on SSI... well...i am now living with a roomate and a 1 year old puppy to keep me comapny and i have had to quickly discover fruglaity fast. but due to some prior investing i had bought some die cuts and die cutting maching to sell for scrapbooking on ebay for extra cash here and there and i own two web sites that make me some spare cash on the side. one of them being a survey profit in which you take surveys and get tons of free stuff not always just cash but lots of free stuff. normally i make it a paid member ship but if you are a member email me and mention this list and we can make a freeby deal. just for the great advice i got from here. you have no idea how many great peo-le i have met here and all the great advice i have gotten from just this one site, comapired to all the other places on the entire net combined. and it was all from going from following one link to another. so..if ever you think oh its just another link... follow it..you never know if that is that one you will find your refuge.. for this place has made my day every day since i found it. always a positive face or a great word...guess i had better say... i am in no way afficialtiated with this site in any way...i sound like a walking advertizement but gosh... for a bi-polar person to find a place to hang her head and find others that accept her and not turn her away it is a nce place to call home to me... hugs you all... Teri
