Row over altered US Army photo -- (link) - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 19, 11:31 7
- I don't get it. It's like distributing a class photo of a high school student. 10 times out of 10, that class photo was altered. -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 11:43

- less go out lunches, less go out dinners, suspended the maid service for now - Pippy Nov 19, 11:33
- Eating out less. Bringing lunch to work more often. Drinking less. Going to the movies less. Getting mel drunk less. Using Charlie Card more often. -- nm - Diva Nov 19, 11:32
- Nothing now. I changed many of my bad habits about 3 years ago. -- nm - Dano Nov 19, 11:29 1
  - actually this is me too - decline Nov 19, 11:34

- I spend a lot less in eating out. Also dropped organic food from the grocery shopping list. - celedhrymandias Nov 19, 11:21 7
  - i do the same thing. i still spend more for cage-free eggs, but that's my only "splurge" in that area -- nm - kare Nov 19, 11:28 1
    - I actually do that too, since it's not that much more $ for what you get. - celedhrymandias Nov 19, 11:33
  - I'm also more selective in the overall grocery shopping. I go to 3 different markets since they have better prices in different things - celedhrymandias Nov 19, 11:23 4

        See, it really was simple as I only have one sibling, and my mom is an only child. - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Nov 19, 11:30
    - saves SO much money. -- nm - El Fandie Nov 19, 11:21 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Then suggest that parents be left out of the deal - then everyone can buy presents for mum and dad -- nm - Roger More Nov 19, 11:34

Just to be clear, my position is that A) marine conflict is unaviodable in the Somalia situation. And B) it will only fix a symptom, not the problem. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 11:13 1
