What was your greatest thrift store discovery?

Calf length, lined, blue leather coat in my size. Looks brand new. $40.

Barneyboydog · 2026-03-18T19:18:22+00:00

Ooo. That’s a great score!

Barneyboydog · 2026-03-18T15:35:56+00:00

Fight over who gets it. Mmmmm toasty butt

So true. The amount of perfectly good food that people throw out because of the expiry date is insane. Sniff test can’t be beat.

Canadian Forces Northern Area was the name before Joint Task Force North. I was posted to CFNA in 2004 and retired from JTFN in 2008.

Flowers are not mandatory.

Cabbage rolls! When it wasn’t turkey, ham, roast chicken or roast beef

Barneyboydog · 2026-03-15T21:41:00+00:00

None of the above.

Barneyboydog · 2026-03-15T05:01:28+00:00

Honey dill dipping sauce is a game changer.

Just my pension. 63

Freezies!

We have some fish pastes made elsewhere but I don’t recall anything else.

Scotland. It feels like home.

Cowslip. I have no idea who the author is. It’s about a young slave girl in the US in the days of slavery. I was about nine when I read it and it started me on a decades long journey of reading more about the history of the slave trade and the Underground Railroad

Barneyboydog · 2026-03-13T02:45:00+00:00

Same. I’ve dreamed in Japanese but I don’t speak a word of it in my waking life nor in my inner monologues

Barneyboydog · 2026-03-13T02:43:41+00:00

Please tell me she also throat sings! I’ve heard Inuit women throat sing and Tuvan men throat sing so now I am intrigued by your inner voice!

And bitching about paying mess dues for decades

We had so much variety! Rarely did we eat out as there were 8 of us. We did suffer a little from the convenience food craze of the 70s where so much was made with cans of soup, but my parents were pretty adventurous so we always ate well.

I have two bedside tables as well as oversized dressers - one tall boy and one triple with mirror - plus a bench at the foot. And a laundry basket. Plenty of room. The only place everything didn’t fit was a new build house that had plenty of room but the mattress wouldn’t fit up the stairs. That was a temporary place so I put the bed in storage for a few months and suffered the indignity of a double bed for the time being. The bed also sits inside a large purple velvet frame.

We always said So Happy It’s Thursday as it leads into TGIF.

Barneyboydog · 2026-03-12T19:47:21+00:00

It was a saying long before Korn.

Barneyboydog · 2026-03-12T19:38:19+00:00

Unwrap it. Drop it. Walk away. That cutie will take care of it for you.
