Frugal
Maybe I have too much time to spare, or could it be I'm an over thinker, but what happened to the term
"frugal"? I remember a show called "The Frugal Gourmet" not long ago. Now, with the price of food we all
are Frugal Gourmets!
I often wondered why people would drive miles to join a gym? First, try hanging out laundry- exercise
and save energy (electric energy, that is).
Second.....mow your own lawn. Check it out - 3 in one. Get the lawn mowed, a natural tan,
and exercise all at the same time.
Third.....an automatic dishwasher. I have to confess, I had two at one time... until
they both tuned 18. At ten years of age, I was no rocket scientist, but I contemplated
"Why am I 'rinsing' off the dishes before loading the "dishwasher"? The dishes are
already in the sink. Just wash, rinse, letting they drip dry, ending with putting
dishes back in the cabinet (optional). Save yourself a couple of steps and be
considered energy efficient in the process.
Now, my last energy saving tip, listen close.....Shower with YOUR mate only.
This maybe both pro and con. Con being- shower may not hold two people at once.
Pro- might create offspring.....WAIT A MINUTE....that would solve the dish, mowing,
and laundry issue....and you would have time to be the "Galloping Gourmet" and earn
brownie points. Just something to digest.
