If I could ever to get my grandmother to stop being so frugal, I think that that would be a miracle in and of itself.  As she is getting up in her age, I have done everything that I can to make her feel as comfortable as possible in our home.  It is wheel chair accessible and everything is arranged to be within her reach.  Yet, she is always complaining about the amount of money that we spend to make her happy.  Well, when I got her the acrylic soaking tub and showed her the receipt, her only comment was, “It’s about this you got me one of these things!”
