We had a reprieve from the heat over the weekend, but now the summer is upon us. We have experimented with the thermostat and it seems we can tolerate 81°F during the day but no higher. Here are a few numbers for comparison; we are consistently using less kilowatt hours, so there is improvement [CLICK TO CONTINUE...] You know – the honest truth is I actually hate housework. But if there’s something I HAVE to do, like sit down and put receipts into Quicken, well you know, the dishwater’s cooling and I really need to get those dishes washed. And the floor needs swept and mopping, too. Oh, the dishes have [CLICK TO CONTINUE...] When I opened a new checking account recently, with the bank I’ve been with for eleven years, the gal who helped me out gave me her business card and told me she’d be my “personal banker”. What a novel idea, one which I’d never experienced before. This branch does seem to go the extra [CLICK TO CONTINUE...] If I order something for someone else who doesn’t use the Internet, and I go through Ebates or MyPoints, am I stealing from that person by taking the rebates or points for myself? As I mentioned in earlier posts, I recently started using Ebates and MyPoints again. I used them faithfully years ago, when [CLICK TO CONTINUE...] I’ve known about Craigslist and Freecycle for several years. I used to moderate one of the Freecycle groups when they first got started, but I had to bow after a couple of years ago due to time constraints. So I’ve used Freecycle, but have never actually used Craigslist. This past March our youngest son [CLICK TO CONTINUE...] I began the No Poo Experiment on July 30th, 2007. What is No Poo, you ask?

Baking soda and vinegar. My hair is doing great. The first [CLICK TO CONTINUE...] When you consider wedding dresses can start in the hundreds and end up in the thousands, I think my Goodwill wedding gown for $25 was quite a frugal find. But the poor dress was filthy. So dirty in fact, I suspect it had been worn as a Halloween costume, and the trick or treater [CLICK TO CONTINUE...] My template wouldn’t save when I tried to add META tags earlier this afternoon. I got the dreaded error message from Blogger, “Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly. XML error message: Element type “META” must be followed by either attribute [CLICK TO CONTINUE...] This past week I ordered 250 business cards and paid ~$9.67 for them. I’ve been working for the same company since 2001. I’ve never had my own business cards, for a couple of reasons. 1) I don’t seem to have much need for them 2) The agency for which I work is a non-profit [CLICK TO CONTINUE...] I was a welfare mom with $6000 in credit card debt. Living at poverty level made credit card use almost a necessity some months, yet I knew deep down inside it was wrong. I didn’t want to be in debt, so I did something about it. Here’s my story.
