So glad it didn't turn out too serious and I too have that fear of being found in the tub unconscious. As for people chuckling, that is a good sign. You told it well but it also means you are young enough for people to laugh. It is a sign you are old if no one laughs when you fall.

She wasn't really Frugal per se but very practical. So that's how I see myself practical and frugal. Makes sense to me except if you end up in a hospital bed to save the drippings from a bottle of shampoo.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16894294588507668479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-53427468706175562022018-11-06T12:33:47.658-05:002018-11-06T12:33:47.658-05:00Haha.

And I was only 28! <br />I had those parents too and my husband was very poor growing up so he is that way about things as well. Sometimes the soap is a sliver and I will say, get a new bar. He does finally and then sticks the Margaret (Peggy or Peg too)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247428494327269983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-4434588878579336342018-11-06T11:39:39.765-05:002018-11-06T11:39:39.765-05:00sorry for the accident.
