Guest guest Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 See what's free at AOL.com. Hello Frugalistas, Thank you for your patience while I took a vacation. It was a pleasing one to say the least, limited access to a computer, no music, just hanging with people and enjoying their company and learning more about them. I even sold an item on Craigslist.com and the man who came also sat down and chit-chatted for about an hour. It was fun to learn about a stranger’s point of view on things and find out what they hold dear. I am glad to get back to a regular routine, even if it is a busy one. Over the vacation time, I listed a penny that I picked up, on eBay and what it sold for, blew my socks off- it helped pay for some of the vacation stuff we did. I hope your start to May has been enjoyable.
