There was an article in the L.A. TIMES today about artistic urns for ashes of our dead loved ones and they hd very nice ones for$300 to several thousand dollars. That reminded me of what i had done when looking to spread the ashes of my parents in the Pacific ocean.  In the end, as i was consigning the urns to the sea, I finally decided on a handmade pottery jar, a cookie jar to begin with? Which I found in a local thrift shop for less than $25.  There is a lot of handthrown pottery from the hippy era in the local thrift shops...it was perfect for the simple ceremony we had in a boat and i felt no guilt tossing it overboard. i wonder how man pots of various kinds will find their ways to the ocean at the mouth of the harbor?  Rest In peace.

Got some long-stemmed roses the other day and today already hd started to droop.  So, floral rx. for this problem florists use pins or floral wire, but i cut up a drinking straw in inch long segments, slit them down the side, and then snugged them up against the bloom along the drooping stem, reinforcing it, then i positioned the stem straight. voila! Rejuvenated roses, good for another few days!

I am BAAAACK

Gee wiz, it's back to the future, and I haven't posted in almost a YEAR???? So sorry, folks.  but, ok, I was in a dowwards cycle, as part of my bipolar disorder.  But I worked very hard on it with my Dr.s and changed meds and vitamins (I added COQ10 to my regimen, hwic h seems to give me more energy) and here I am.  AS I tried to share on Thriftyfun, I did a movie called HOW TO BEAT A BULLY, and it is finally out of Google Play.  That's the new reality of indie distribution.

Sio I get to put on my PR hat and get to tell everyone about my movie!! It is a really lcute comedic take on the whole issue of bullying, and is timely as October is National Anti-Bullying Month!  In it, I play the humorous, clueless teacher in a home sc hool, who loves hats! It's really a cute little movie, and a way to start a dialogue with your kids about the whole issue of bullying.  This is even true for older kids, as I was bullied in high school as a new kid in town, and a "brain"/  Wish I had had the resources that are now available to kids.  It took me years of thereapy to work all that through, and if it had been addressed at the time, it would have been much, much easier.....

So, hello again, thrifty funners.  As we all know, frugality is timeless!!
