Why have I been avoiding thrift stores al these years? There are a few around here I used to go to all the time, but haven't been to one since high school. I finally decided I had to hit the one a block away from my house today when I picked up Mika. She's wearing a sweatshirt that could have fit her mom, and floods.

I was able to get her 3 pairs of pants, 2 sweatshirts, 2 jackets, 2 t-shirts, and a dress. I got one hoodie for me and spent around $40! And all of this stuff is like new! Most of the clothes she has here are getting too small, and she needs colder weather stuff anyway. I figure I can replace all of her clothes here for around $80.

I even saw a really pretty girl working there that kept looking at me. Of course I never got the balls to talk to her, but I'd have to guess that she's too young anyway. Most are.

I'm not cheap, just broke!

Mika is lucky to have you. Thrift stores can be great, especially when you consider the crap they sell for huge amounts at all of these trendy stores popping up everywhere. At least Mika will look original. I try to buy my niece stuff that won't make her look like a Britney Spears clone. You are a very hot looking guy who probably comes across to women as intriguing and nice/honorable. Kind of like my friend Chris. So grab some self esteem, and talk to these women! Talk about anything! Notice something about them, even if it is the fact that they are noticing you. You have to try. They wouldn't be looking at you so intently if they weren't interested. If they try to crush you, oh well. You didn't start out caring about them when you talked to them anyways. This one may have been too young, but you won't know unless you find out. Just keep this in mind for the next time you see someone you really like, ok?
