re: #135 Dr Lizardo

Both of my parents grew up in the Great Depression/WWII era - which has stood me in good stead during this current crisis. Learned how to be economical, bargain hunt, hell, I’ve even indulged in a bit of dumpster diving and found some remarkable items (in perfectly good condition, or needing only minor repairs) that people have inexplicably thrown away.

Germans have Sperrmülltag (junk collection day) and I always stop and take a look, a lot of what they throw out is nicer than anything I have ever owned. Got end tables for myself and GF and a wooden chair or two.
