[quote=Anonymous]FP here.

What did I say that gave you the idea of owing "large numbers of favors" to others? We got a few things from 2 friends. I asked if they wanted it back. What else am I expected to do? We're friends an that's what friends do. We give rides o each other, we have dinner together, we go to wolf trap for concerts, we throw parties, we talk when we need a shoulder and we pass stuff along when we don't need it anymore. Do you keep tabs on such things? Ew! I'm glad we're not friends, then.

(I'm laughing inside now thinking of that episode of The Office where Dwight and Andy follow each other around returning favors LOL)
 
[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if Frugal Poster is annoying the hell out of her friends/family ... "You done with that? DD could really use ***"

I also wonder what she does to reciprocate the favor. [/quote]

I think you're envious. [/quote]

Of what? Spending my entire day making watermelon rind jello and finding ways to save money? Asking around for various hand-me-downs?

I also think it's a legitimate question to ask what Frugal poster does to [b]reciprocate the large numbers of favors[/b] that seem to be done for her.

For every Frugal Poster, someone, somewhere had to buy that stuff new. Yet another wrinkle in the Paradox of Thrift. [/quote][/quote]
