Last Monday I asked if my readers had anything to ask, so here are the answers.

Mrs. Gardener asked how my garden was doing. It’s coming along, here let me show you a picture of the delicious baby greens that are doing wonderfully. I’ve already harvested one bunch of radishes, too!  I’m going … click here to continue reading Answers to Mrs. A’s Q&A

I Threw Away My Eyeliner!

I didn’t mean to!  I bought a new pencil since the old one had just a nub left in the tip. I prefer the kind that you twist and the eye liner moves up into position, as opposed to the old fashioned pencil types that you have to sharpen.  I haven’t found … click here to continue reading I Threw Away My Eyeliner!

Oh Shoot! Overdrafted Our Checking!

This is why I’m so danged paranoid about taking our checking account down to under $200.  Last weekend, our checking account showed that we had over $3000.  I paid some bills, made some credit card payments and took it down to $295.28.

Probably due to old age more than anything I would guess. … click here to continue reading The Kindness of Strangers

Losing $360 a month

Mr. A and I have had this side job that involves quite a bit of driving for the past three years.  We used to do it every single week, 146 miles round trip.

Credit Card Worries and Update

President Obama signed a new bill regarding credit card rules which will go into effect in 9 months.

I need to do some research on it as I have heard there are some good and bad points to the new bill. I’ve heard that it could have an effect on “responsible” credit card … click here to continue reading Credit Card Worries and Update

Your Questions, My Answers – Part II

Nancy asked:

Do you ever get stressed out, and splurge on coffee or chocolate?

Nancy, thank you for your question!  I’m sensitive to caffeine so I limit any intake to 4 ounces at a time. Otherwise I get shaky. I had an experience when I was sixteen where I got addicted to drinking coffee … click here to continue reading Your Questions, My Answers – Part II
