You're right, I forgot about paying for coupons. Yikes. Lately
I've been doing that Troopon thing where you cut out coupons
that military families can use. Once a month or so, I organize them
and mail them out.

I'm not complaining, but cutting out and organizing all those wisps
of paper is kind of a hassle. And these people have books and
books of them.

With all the shelving which is not free, either. And the toilet paper
under the beds. A couple of them described their homes as mini
marts. It just makes them happy.
