“I’m glad I picked up my great grandmother’s attitude of frugality. When asked if she wanted a microwave oven for her 90th birthday she said “Why? If you’re that hungry, you have bigger problems than how fast you can cook it”.”

Thank you!
a 50 year old boomer, a ‘slow food’ foodie and a hyper frugal ‘waste not want not’ debt free kid of depression era parents, I really really like that quote!

I’m still using her Techumseh rototiller built around 1947. I hated the wheelbarrow she made me use as a kid. Its almost all sheet metal patches. Its beyond use but it hangs on the wall in the garage.
