Hi, my name's MM and I am a penny-pincher.

(crowd) Hi, MM!

Today I bought a pair of brand new hiking boots for $8. Yes, you read that right. $8

I also realized that I could buy the telescopic stablizing jacks for my travel trailer cheaper locally than online. Not only that, but if I got a Camping World membership, it would give me a Good Sam's membership for only $2, would give me $10 off the price of the jacks, and would give me a $10 coupon (used toward the price of the jacks). So basically, I paid the same price for the jacks as I would have anyway, but came out with a membership to Camping World (which we will use all the time) and Good Sam's for nothin'.

Yes, I am a miser and I am proud of it!

Anniversary present. My wife made me get rid of the slide rule and pocket protector.

I really did take this class in high school. I really did.

The kids I teach (or try to teach) have abacus to play with. Grant you they tilt them back and forth and drive me crazy but hey at least they play with them.

He fibbed. Ain't never voted for any of 'em.

On a completely different non-political note, I was a heckuva' swimmer when I was younger, and I tried to swim from Chappaquidick to Edgartown a few times. Near where the Ferry crosses. Current was so strong I just ended up in the harbor everytime. And I was sober. My back was just fine, too. :innocent:

Now that's just RUDE!

What those ladies do, in the privacy of their own home, is none of our business!:blushing:
