Virtually everyone is now looking to save some money when they shop. Even wealthy people report they actively look for ways to save and cut some of their expenses. Now here’s a startling statistic: food costs around the world have surged 75% since 2000! It’s no wonder that we’re all checking out all the ways [...]

I recently started thinking more about simplifying my life, and what things need to be cut. I am a full-time mom of three very busy little boys. I'm a wife, homemaker, and chief financial officer of our family. I'm a blogger, a bookkeeper, a volunteer, and a scrapbooker. On top of that, I also do online surveys, read paid e-mails, participate in product testing, and sell things on eBay. Wh

During these tough times its not uncommon to have some bills go unpaid and possibly even missed mortgage payments. These events can have devastating effects on their credit profile as well and some people find themselves in a position where their credit [...]

“Sometimes I forget that I like to read books.” - sex, art, and politics

credit: procsilas   Yesterday I read a post about zen habits, where the reader suggested the content was becoming a little dull and repetitive. This sentiment was shared by many of the commenters, and it was suggested that the tone of the posts were becoming a little preachy, or tended to have a ‘look at me [...] Related posts:Get me out of this boring life!Inner wealth.. and realism

Sometimes you need some perspective on life.

In the past, we've spoken about how to protect content that you post on your website, as well as methods to minimize the chance that it is stolen. Additionally, we have even spoken about what to do if your content is taken. But sometimes, thieves go one step further. And you might find yourself with more stolen than just your content.

My daughter Lily (like probably many of your daughters) needs my attention at all times. When I'm in the middle of an important task she seems to need me the most. Today, she decided that she wanted to wrap Christmas gifts for her best friend Gracie. It turned out to be quite an ordeal.First she needed me to get the wrapping paper down from the attic. Next she needed scissors and tape. Then she co

Simplest answer is because they are not that important. Backlinks are the feul that drives the rocket in the moon. Sure, it's not just the fuel. Same thing, without meta tags, spiders still show something to the searcher. Remember meta tags are considered important only because the meta title and meta description is what appears in the search results. The meta title linking to your site, and

A couple of days ago I got tagged to do this but I have been under the weather a bit and not up to blogging nor anything for that matter. So here you go Danny Thornton. 1) I hate to stay up late. When I was younger I could go with very little sleep and for years would get by on about 5 hours of sleep. Now though, if it is 10 o'clock I am likely to be in the bed and asleep already. 2) I hate

How does auto-focus work?All of us use it every time we click on the shutter button. Practically all modern cameras include some sort of an auto focus system. Thanks to the auto focus system we can enjoy an easier photography experience and can concentrate on composing the right photo and capturing the moment rather than on manually setting the focus.Automatic focus though has its limitations. For

Sometimes when the forex trading market is choppy, it forms range-trading channels, which sets one up for a breakout. If there's is no indication on which direction the market is moving, forex traders may go long when it's at the bottom range, and short when it is at the top range. This may earn you some pips, but again, it is better to wait for price to break out from the range-trading channels s

Hey there. I’m still on hiatus. I, um, just forgot to turn the iron off. Oh, there it is. I guess I never turned it on. Silly me. Bye... What’s that? You want a post? Oh fine, twist my arm. A two-working parent household can be a logistical nightmare. Flipping a coin to decide who uses a personal day when the kid gets sick, putting off any household chores or errands until Saturday (an

I found this movie clip recently. I kind of makes the point how sometimes learning the properly pronounce a foreign language can be the most frustrating of exercises and this doesn't apply to just English either!!! Enjoy--

So... good news. We got our flood insurance money. Yeah! I know! How awesome, right? Right?? The bad news is that they issued it under my name (that's okay because I am who I say I am), Andy's name (he is who I say he is so that's good too) AND OUR MORTGAGE COMPANIES. In little tiny print, it says "this is a multiple party check and cannot be cashed without having all parties sign it".

After working out three days in a row with weights my body feels like a train wreck so I decided to take the night off from the gym. I should feel a little bad about it but I'm reasoning with myself that if I take the night off I will come back tommorow stronger and fresh. I did a leg workout on tuesday and I must have did it right because they are still sore today. So tonight my plan is simple. I

I used to have very good impression of the Mainland Chinese, they were like hardworking, hungry for success, blah blah blah.My contacts with the Chinese have increased tremendously given their presence in Singapore, I mean: they are everywhere! On one occasion, I was in a bus towards Suntec City, a Chinese national was stand next to me near the door, when the bus stopped to pick up passenger, the

Yep. Sometimes this is how it feels. :)

As both an appraiser and a real estate agent, I can safely say that appraisers often get a bad rap among the real estate community. Heck, on my really bad days, I’ve even been known to rip myself apart a little (sounds like someone needs a little more quality time on the couch, Doc…). But [...]

A lot of men have been ignoring this unknown threat. This pertains to the pain they sometimes felt on their testicles. Testicles are part of the male reproductive system. The testicles are responsible in manufacturing the male hormones, including testosterone.It is also the part of men’s body that produces sperm. If there is an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells on the testicle, there’s

We signed the BoyChild up for basketball again this season. He’s still a spaz.  He can’t dribble for crap.  But he shoots with enthusism even if he couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. There weren’t enough little boys signed up from his class to make a team, so we got assigned out to another school’s [...]

Sometimes it takes more than medication.

When a listing of mine sells, sellers ask me just how sure the transaction is.  My response is “it’s as sure as I can tell them”.  Why do I answer with those words?  It’s because life just happens to interfere sometimes and there are always risks when selling or buying real estate. If the buyers are pre-approved, if the [...]

Sometimes in dreams I’ll forget that she’s dead and I’ll see her dancing on the wing of a plane or waving good-bye from the back of a train. Or laughing on a gurney, as if she’d never gone. As if we’d never cried and laid her in the ground. And if my dreams keep this up, how will I ever know if I’m dead or alive [...]

In years past, if our typically decibel-dense household went suddenly silent, it was just cause for maternal alarm. This morning, after sending the kids upstairs post-breakfast to get ready for school, the daily squeals, laughter and tattles were surprisingly extinct. Figuring it wise, I went up to see the student-prep status.Both children were huddled over Sarah's desk lamp-lit desk.Today, I'm th

Akin to a foreclosure, corporate owned, or “Relocation” homes and condos in Center City Philadelphia are often marked down in order to get them to sell fairly quickly.

Do you ever wonder why a relationship can’t always be based on love? Don’t get me wrong, love is of the utmost importance in your relationship, but there’s more to the words “I Love You” than just saying the words.

After conducting statistical test after statistical test, Fannie, Freddie and Ginnie, the 3 big lending institutions, mandated that the credit score should b

ok, so you how much it pains me to get on here and bitch about tommy. i hate doing it, really i do. but my therapist insists that i get my emotions out of my body and in the open so i can deal with them.

Do you ever have moments that happen to you as a kid that you review in your head as an adult and suddenly the light bulb of maturity goes on and you are filled with embarrassment, guilt, or you just have a major “A-HA!” moment? Or, if you haven’t actually had those moments, was there a [...]

I got a little nostalgic thinking of the song 'Sometimes Love Just Aint Enough by Patty Smyth'. It goes something like:I don't wanna lose you,But I don't wanna use youJust to have sombody by my side.And I don't wanna hate youI don't wanna take youBut I don't wanna be the one to cry.And I don't really matter To anyone, anymore.But like a fool I keep losing my placeAnd I keep seeing you walk through

Sometimes it’s for the best that we miss an opportunity. My mother had a chance to draw for Walt Disney when she was very young. When he died, his death hurt her so bad. Now that I am older, I can see God’s hidden reasons why my mother missed that opportunity. It was not meant to be. Read More

Making a statement by buying Trader Joe's organic green tea, be it for the environment or because of your own personal dietary preferences, leaves you feeling confused and somewhat cheated as each separate tea-bag are individually wrapped in plastic, which doesn't make any sense what so ever.(And also makes it really, really hard to get to the little buggers, too.)

I wimped out during childbirth. I have no problems admitting this as I was 20 years old and freaked out by the thought of squeezing a human being through my delicate and once virginal cooter.

Well we had another mom's night out last night. As part of our playgroup, occasionally us moms go out for a drink or two. This time, it was a couple regulars and a couple new moms that have never attended before. It is funny how you get a bunch of women together at a table and it is pretty obvious who are the partygirls and who are not. I like to drink and talk but after about an hour or two,
