A cheap-ass ordinary Dutchy

The twenty second day of "30-Day Bloggers Group"  [13+]

Fun Fact Friday!
On this day in 1926, legendary baseball player Babe Ruth caught a baseball at Mitchell Field in New York. The ball had been dropped from an airplane flying at 250 feet. Have you ever done anything extraordinary that no one else you know has done? Or, do you have any kind of weird/unique talent that your friends can't do?

Nope, I don’t have any special talent, in fact I am quite ordinary. I once saved a woman’s life from the quicksand and wrote about this in "Surviving the bog"  but that’s about it.

On the other hand I hope my writing will be extraordinary one day. I have always cherished the publication of three booklets of Dutch poetry in my early years. And I was very proud when a lunch play I wrote took to the stages. Seeing your work performed by others is a crazy but great feel.

Prompt: How many things do you pay for, that you really don't need too? Have you thought about this? (BC)

We as Dutch have a name for wanting things cheap or for free. So the Internet is my thing and for free. I don’t pay for a virus scanner, I have AVG for free and it suits me fine. I often buy thing second hand in stead of paying for it in full. Books, sometimes clothing, my sofa, my cars I bought them all second hand. I am all in favor of giving items a second life. Recycling is better for the planet.
