Bad luck backfired in my favor!

I figured out how I managed to have enough leftover cash to snap up that computer deal.

Being SKANK-ASS SICK meant that I didn't go out (not even the CTA got my money), had no social life, smoked 1/4 as much as normal, and didn't eat solid food at all.

Therefore I saved a lot of money. Yet I suspect that if I post this as a helpful hint at one of those thrifty-living sites, it wouldn't go over well.

But now I know what to do when I need to save up for something else. Forget to wash my hands and pay someone a couple bucks to cough on me.

Ha, wait til they both see what I'm going to use that computer for.

You can flush a lot of money in Chicago, though. *nodsnods* Hope he gets home before the CTA rate hike.

*Giggles* CTA? (All he's doing there is pretty much working and sleeping, and he drives home on the weekends.)

Oh, I think they can't help but suspect, just a bit. The scorch marks on your own keyboard gives you away.
