My sons first dog just died. He picked her out of the line up at the pound in 1998. She was a Schnauzer border collie mix.
We called her Mattie but in fact the pound had named her Mottie. When the girl showed her she pronounced it Mattie - so that's what she was called.

March stockpile challenges
I am participating in the stockpile olympics as well as the living off your stockpile. I noticed holes in stockpile a few months ago. I refuse to pay high prices when it's not absolutely neccesary. So I play to play and keep myself accountable in the challenges and rotate my stockpile.

Behind on posting what I threw out Jan/Feb.

Jan: 7 bags junk
Feb: 5 bags of magazine/coupon/scraps.

Plus I need to start back on condiment stockpiling. This is the time of year many mirs are found for things like hot sauce and salsa. Plus french's...
