I spent most of my life living like you, then in middle age I suddenly
smartened up about being overly frugal... everyone dies the same, but it's
all about how we live... and everyone lives differently. It was very
stressful being careful not to use an extra dish, glass, fork, or spoon, and
even more stressful being driven to wash every utensil immediately or it
would pile up where it looked like slob city. It's amzing how we adopt
frugality from our parents... my parents had to die before I treated myself
to a dish washer. I bet you ration how many sheets of TP you permit
yourself, and you use both sides. LOL You wanna talk frugal, my father
insisted that only he knew how to properly close a water spigot, if over
tightened one millionth of a foot pound the washer would wear out a day
sooner. Maybe Victor can help, I can't write Russian, my father's favorite
word was "Jholahver" or some such transliteration.
