As I said in another comment, I think the problem is that thrifty ways of shopping (or eating) lack the necessary excess to make it really work. I never claimed this was a *healthy* coping mechanism. :)
Also, having just hauled 50+ boxes of books into storage, the last thing I need right now is more books. :)
re: The Combat Engineer Song - I've heard much worse. :)
I'll get by. It's not like those are my ONLY coping mechanisms. I was just reflecting on the blindingly-obvious-in-hindsight realisation that they were two reliable ones that I was, for various reasons, assiduously denying myself.
