The other day when I showed that old receipt to Kathy she made some remark about somebody being a cheapskate..... 
I don't think she understood that I was earning about $2.25/hr at that time.... so I put it into perspective for her. Now she understands. |
Quit your bitchin, cuz you know you're lucky she even said 'Yes'!
