How did you hear about frugal village? just surfing around looking for frugal hints and tips

What interests you here? the tips! also sharing what i know and meeting new people who have the same thinking i have about money and wealth

Do you know any other members here? nope but im excited about making new friends

How many kids? Ages? no human children

Tell us about yourself. SINKy (single income, no kids) turned 40 may 18th of this year. i love being frugal but have not been for quite a few years now (changed jobs a few times and was just doing what was easiest--meaning spending money carelessly) i want to get back to making the most out of my life and my money, learn some new things and share what i know. i used to be a coupon fanatic when i was married (and back when there were triple coupons) ive just started a new coupon box and clipping again, so hopefully i can get back on track with a little help.

Do you own any pets? "the girls"

i had to put my first cat to sleep last year which was harder than i thought it would be (i still miss her)  so now i have marlee and lucy-- they are sisters and fight and carry on daily--i just love them to pieces.

SAHM or working mom? i work as a medical receptionist for 4 cardiothoracic surgeons

Married or single? divorced for ten years or so. would like to remarry--still have faith that there is a someone out there somewhere :-)

Interests and hobbies?

i love to read (faves include steve king, patricia cornwell, jonathan kellerman, john grisham, on and on) ive cross-stitched for years- i like the stoneycreek patterns the best, on my first crochet blanket--which is just the basic double stitch? i think. im not very advanced but it's a blanket and it will be usable. i'm addicted to the internet. i have a forum started www.jots.forrumate.com  with not too much on it--i get carried away with surfing so much which leads to my blog http://jackieoneil.blogspot.com/  where i post some of the websites ive been to and have gotten a kick out of or just a lot of information/reference. both of those are mainly for fun and it's kinda neat to have things you wrote on the internet (i know, im a nut) i like to do logic puzzles but im not so good after i get past the medium ones LOL i usually play tanglewords (on playsite) or the inspector parker game on yahoo (wish they would come up with some new stuff for that)

i spent yesterday afternoon reading a lot of stuff on the forum and was quite impressed. i hope to contribute when i can.
