In search of...
Exercise, books, kitchen rugs; two out of three wasn't bad, especially with the company of the beloved spouse. In this junk-piled world, you'd think there'd be one small, colorful washable oval rug out there to buy; I may have to resort to Amish rug-making techniques. I don't like shopping, I'm not a greedy consumer; I just want stuff to last forever and don't give a damn about "fashion", which I think is brainwashing. I got over consumer fever attacks back in high school. Big box stores make me ill. A stop for hot chocolate washed away the unpleasantness.

Her one purchase from Victoria's Secret in all the years I've known her was a sweatshirt.
By which I mean (he hastened to add) that I'm proud of her. We buy good stuff and use it forever. I think it's from hearing parents and grandparents talk about life in the Depression, and buying into the ethos of thrift.
She's had what we call in the IT business a Low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).
