(4,854 posts)22. I can't afford it either and I'm grateful to Skinner and all for letting me come here anyway.
Since most of the ads I've seen so far in the new DU are products or services that actually interest me then I've been able to give a little payback to the DU by buying on the net via a click through from DU.
For instance my raincoat has been mended so many times it's almost unmendable. Time for a new one. I've been surfing online to find a new one I can afford that's hopefully also made in USA. Within a few days I was fed an ad from King Louis, union made in the USA clothing line and found a man's raincoat on clearance in size small.

Dear Paper Roses, as a GD host, I would prefer to lock this thread, since it doesn't meet the SOP
