A Fun, Inexpensive Event Is PossibleIt's time for spring, time for another gathering of friends. Sadly, I'm entertaining much less than I used to but it still nice when the occasional occasion happens. Sean in the past used to have a winter barbeque (and depending on...

Ebates: Is It Really All That?
Ebates Will Save You A Little At A Time, Especially If You Can Say No To Yourself
I’ve been meaning to blog about Ebates for awhile. They’ve been mentioned in a couple women’s magazines in the company breakroom and like most people, I do a little online shopping from time to time.
I finally made an account this morning because I have an online purchase to make. I need some new leggings. Mine are worn out from overwearing. Ebates has promised before to save me money online shopping so I went to them first. I gave them my contact information since they promised me that there is “no catch”.
Oh Dollar, Why Don’t Thou Go Up?
A Falling Dollar Gives Us All Something To Panic About
According to the financial buzz online, no one is sugar-coating the whole dollar tanking issue anymore.
Dollar’s Fall Is Scary but Not a Reason to Panic, Kiplinger’s tells us the dollar will plummet but eventually rebound. National Intelligence Director Michael McConnell has said the falling dollar is a weakness potentially expolitable by U.S. rivals, especially those with energy reserves we want and need. CNN released an article yesterday about the dollar value reaching a 12-year low vs. yen and how it’s at an all-time low versus the Euro (which to be fair has only been around for a few years). Plenty of people are talking about this, but our government officials are noticeably silent. It’s like people are only supposed to think we are in a recession/crisis if Ben Bernacki says so. But why would he?

An Invite To Guest Post
I’ve read in a few sources now that guest posts (posts written by special guests) are a great way to get more readers and interest in a blog. I am, of course, willing to try most anything so I thought I would offer readers an invitation. Do you know something about a...

Why I Paid A Pro To Deal With My Taxes
Two weeks ago, I sat down at my computer with all my paperwork and began my taxes. With four jobs last year, a move, and a retirement account, I was left paying over $400 in federal taxes. Discouraged, I saved the computer file I was working on and decided to call a pro. Asking around the office, I found someone who would do it on short notice and fairly inexpensively.
Volunteer Work With Zoey’s Room
