Using Too Many Rebate Companies

By Mrs. Accountability on November 12th, 2008

When I bought Big A’s shoes from Zappos at the end of October, I remember thinking I would get back 10%.

But darn it, I can’t remember who I used through Evreward. I have only signed up with Ebates, BigCrumbs, Mr. Rebates and Cashbaq, but none show pending rebates. Drat! That would have [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Last week I got an envelope from Amazon. It always looks like junk mail. So much so that the first gift certificate I received from them I almost tore it in half and threw it away. But luckily I opened it, to find a $25 gift certificate inside.

When I was applying for the [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

How My Computer Lost $75

By Mrs. Accountability on November 10th, 2008

I guess it was really me, as we all know that computers don’t do anything on their own. Right?

A couple of weeks ago the morning started out like any other day, and a window popped open warning me that the computer had to be restarted as it had just finished downloading updates. It [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Hard Cooked (Not Boiled) Eggs

By Mrs. Accountability on November 9th, 2008

How do you make hard cooked eggs? Do you, like me, actually call them hard boiled eggs? Am I dating myself using the term boiled eggs? Apparently the proper term is hard cooked eggs. Do you put the eggs into water and boil them for 10-15 minutes? While researching raised beds, of all things, [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

Garden Gleanings

By Mrs. Accountability on November 8th, 2008

My first garden harvest for this season – Bright Lights Swiss Chard. We steamed the Swiss Chard and had it with butter and salt. Look at the beautiful stems! Red, yellow, pink and white plants came up; the only color that didn’t germinate was orange. Beautiful, delicious, and nutritious!

Looseleaf lettuce and radishes, and [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

What Are You Doing? Twitter

By Mrs. Accountability on November 7th, 2008

I decided to check out Twitter today. It’s easy to join; just click here to follow me on Twitter.

I have to pay $4.95/month on my cell phone to send up to 500 text messages a month, so I won’t be using Twitter via my cell phone. Maybe I’ll use Mr. A’s phone sometimes, [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]

By Mrs. Accountability on November 1st, 2008

It’s been a very busy week and the weekend is proving to be even busier. Our church is hosting our first annual conference and I’m helping out in various areas. We’ll be attending several teachings throughout the day, and tomorrow morning. Thankfully the conference is just 40 miles from where we live so there [CLICK TO CONTINUE...]
