If I can save that 50 bucks for something else or to make my bottom line work, I am going to do it. For my Eagle Scout project, instead of spending 15 bucks on two pizzas, I had them donated. I just saved 15 dollars that later went into something else (in this case a patch kit for our tents). Aaron --- Trent Litchfield <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > I find this attitude disturbing.
