So, once again it's "Steal this Post Thursday" and I forgot all about it until Ang mentioned "Thrifty Thursday." Then I remember that we do something on Thursday. Ang, why are you competing with your own blog (remember this is your blog, too)? Why not "Thrifty Tuesday"(though, I do admit it's not as catchy), we don't do anything on Tuesday.
Anyway, I stole this from Ethel who stole it from someone else.

BTW, you know, I think I'm going to come up with a cute graphic like Shannon has for Works for Me Wednesday.
Updated to add:
Pamela played and she is the first to have ever done "Steal this Post Thursday" the right way.
I noticed that Mel stole it from Pamela.
And Conservative Musings stole it from her.
Ang made it in under the wire.
I think we're playing six degrees of separation here.
