Tire places used to plug holes with something like a crochet hook and glue and a gump of rubber. Now they wont do that as it's 'unsafe' read: they want you to buy new tires. <br /><br />My fix-a-flat repair works great altho I'm starting to stress about it a bit, lol.Gladyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379796403577898107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-58718718741301798682014-10-10T03:16:25.236-07:002014-10-10T03:16:25.236-07:00I know, just to learn about the brands and stuff i...I know, just to learn about the brands and stuff is all. I wish I lived back int he day where I could take in other people's laundry, or sewing. I don't think anyone would pay me to do any other housework though. lol.<br /><br />It's good you make that much money doing that, and it does sound like fun. I don't mind doing laundry either. <br /><br />Joan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775873193806083833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-84794897619487561022014-10-09T08:46:19.567-07:002014-10-09T08:46:19.567-07:00Joan - it's terrifying thinking about stuff li...Joan - it's terrifying thinking about stuff like that. I have been VOLUNTARILY out of the work force long enough that I cannot seem to get a job even at Walmart or Target - I applied last Xmas. I'm also middle aged, and that counts against me too.<br /><br />I started my financial tracker/cash only system up again because I got to thinking about what would happen if Jeff had a stroke and couldn't work. We would be completely, absolutely fucked. I want to pay off as many bills/credit cards as I can in the hopes of mitigating whatever comes my way. The more we have in savings, the better.<br /><br />It IS possible to save something, even on a very tight budget. This thrift store/Ebay thing is working to bring me about $100 a week profit. It's perfect for someone who doesn't want to interact with the public or go to 'happy doodle fun time office crap'. Like ME.Gladyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379796403577898107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-14733250447142242962014-10-08T06:51:09.433-07:002014-10-08T06:51:09.433-07:00Gladys I absolutely love when you post this stuff!...Gladys I absolutely love when you post this stuff! I'm still doing the "side hustle" on Facebook Storage Wars groups. I belong to three and if stuff doesn't sell I just keep cycling it through the three groups until it does. No fees, no postage and folks pick up from my front porch and leave the money in my mailbox. So far I haven't run out of things to sell that are lying around gathering dust but last night, one of the neighbours helped me haul a bit pine cupboard off the curb two doors down into my garage. It will hit Storage Wars this weekend. I was thinking...Gladys will SO proud of me.<br />Might soon tear myself away from the Vera Bradley that's been hanging on the back of my closet door for at least ten years.<br />I WANT, don't NEED a stainless steel fridge so all that I make goes into the fridge fund. Closing in fast!<br />Oh and the old fridge will go on Storage Wars.<br />Sending you a pic of the cupboard so you can give me an A+ in side hustle!<br />The footprints on the shirt might be for "one step at a time".<br />mulderfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500535934417551223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-9308060115062898022014-10-08T04:50:22.999-07:002014-10-08T04:50:22.999-07:00This got me to thinking, what would happen to some...This got me to thinking, what would happen to someone who can't work or hold down a job? Like me. If my husband didn't earn enough I'd be so screwed. I don't know if I would qualify for disability seeing that I don't go see doctors, I'm scared of them, I'd need to talk to lots of people to go on it and that would be impossible.<br /><br />I can't work cause my nerves are bad and I lose my employment every time. I've had lots of jobs, have a good education, and I'm seen as a freak.<br /><br />I can't be the only one like this, and I wonder about the others.Joan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775873193806083833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679637238769603836.post-23653951631132491592014-10-07T13:07:27.506-07:002014-10-07T13:07:27.506-07:00I am working up to my second year of sobriety.

The tire guys need to make a profit, but if you knew how friggan easy it was. You would never take a flat out to be fixed again. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
