I am a frugal person. I try hard to be frugal with what resources God has blessed me with, but, sometimes, I am met with some disputation about this.......hmm


frugal:
adjective......

careful about spending money or using things when you do not need to : using money or supplies in a very careful way



OR........as da Blond would say.......

tightwad.........


sigh


Forced frugality....no job for a while.....da Blond says thank God all the bills were met and no late fees for 5 months....and thanks goes out to a Christmas time helper in the food pantry.....Hugs to you and your family - You know who you are...

hello, friends, Frank update, for those of you who don't yet know....

his doc did a bunch of bloodwork and determined he's been overdosing on his heart meds since 4 Dec.
Walmart improperly filled his scripts and he's been taking between 3 and 10 times too much of three different meds. :eek:
it has affected his liver; to what extent remains unknown.

this is why he's been so ill and unable to keep anything down. he could wait it out and drink a lot of water to flush his system, or go to a hospital to have his blood purified by machine.
he chose the latter, he's just so tired of being sick and tired. :(

yesterday (last i heard anything) he said he was waiting to hear from a hospital in Atlanta. apparently not just any old hospital has a machine like that. meanwhile, he hasn't taken any heart meds since last Friday. i hope and pray this is okay for him.

i'll let you know when and if i hear anything more.

xoxo

Thank you for the Frank update. Prayers for Frank...




Lord Jesus, thank you that you love Frank. I know that You hate what their illness is doing to him and those who love him. I ask, in the name of Jesus, that you would heal Frank's illness, that you would have compassion on him, and bring healing from all sickness.

Your word says in Psalm 107:19-20 that when we call out to you the Eternal one you will give the order, heal and rescue us from certain death. I have read of miraculous healing and I believe that you still heal the same way today. I believe that there is no illness you cannot heal after all the bible tells of you raising people from the dead so I ask for your healing in this situation.

Help all of us to understand your plan for us.

Lord Jesus, thank you that our hope for healing is in you. If there are doctors or treatments that you would want to use to heal this disease I pray that you would guide Frank to them. I ask for wisdom and discernment about which treatments for Frank to pursue.

God, I thank you that Frank belongs to you and that you are in control of everything that happens from our first breath to our last sigh.

A doctor was addressing a large audience:
"The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?"
After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, "Wedding Cake."

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, "Surely I can't look that old." ... Could this be you?

My name is Alice, and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his DDS diploma, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 30-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?

Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate. After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School .

Yes. Yes, I did. I'm a mustang,” he gleamed with pride.

When did you graduate?” I asked.

He answered, “In 1970. Why do you ask?”

You were in my class!” I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old, bald, wrinkled, gray-haired, pot bellied, decrepit, old man asked, “What did you teach?”

Dear Husband,

I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you for good. I've been a good woman to you for seven years and I have nothing to show for it.

These last two weeks have been hell. Your boss called to tell me that you had quit your job today and that was the last straw. Last week, you came home and didn't notice that I had gotten my hair and nails done, cooked your favorite meal and even wore a brand new negligee. You came home and ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after watching the game.

You don't tell me you love me anymore, you don't touch me or anything. Either you're cheating or you don't love me anymore, what ever the case is, I'm gone.

P.S. If you're trying to find me, don't bother. Your BROTHER and I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!

Your Ex-Wife



Dear Ex-Wife,

Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter. It's true that you and I have been married for seven years, although a good woman is a far cry from what you've been.

I watch sports so much to try to drown out your constant nagging. Too bad that doesn't work. I did notice when you cut off all of your hair last week, the first thing that came to mind was "You look just like a man!" My mother raised me to not say anything if you can't say anything nice.

When you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with my BROTHER, because I stopped eating pork seven years ago.

I went to sleep on you when you had on that new negligee because the price tag was still on it. I prayed that it was a coincidence that my brother had just borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning and your negligee was $49.99.

After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out. So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto for ten million dollars, I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica. But when I got home you were gone. Everything happens for a reason I guess. I hope you have the filling life you always wanted.

My lawyer said with your letter that you wrote, you won't get a dime from me. So take care.

P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this but Carl, my brother was born Carla. I hope that's not a problem.

Signed
Rich and Free
