Also, see if your bank has something like the Keep the Change program at Bank of America. I regularly find $500+ in that account and don't even realize it! I use that money to make a payment on a credit cards which means I pay less interest. Win, win!

I don't pay attention to most of these (ridiculous) celebrities, but I DO love Vin Diesel. When I saw Pitch Black in 2000 I told my son "we are going to be seeing more of that guy" and I am so glad I was right. I may be an old lady, but I know what I like and he is absolutely on my short list!

I recently told my husband to stop using our bank card (debit/ATM/Visa) anywhere other than the bank or in case of dire emergency. I supplied him with a credit card he is to use everywhere and I pay it off every month. I started this because the credit card info I use for online purchases has been stolen quite a few…

1) If you don’t own your home, the landlord pays for them so you rarely have a choice.

I Love you Phillip Morris was a good movie! We were surprised, watched it on a whim. Ya never know! lol

My husband's excuse for not putting away the dishes out of the dishwasher: "I don't know where they go."

We just finished changing out all our fluorescents to LED (we got rid of incandescents many, many years ago). After much research we chose Cree and have been very happy with them so far (it's only been a year or so). We tested each one against our fluorescents and found no difference in light quality/brightness. …

Interesting! This goes very well with another article called How to Combat Diet and Exercise Self-Sabotage with Mindfulness which I printed and pinned to my bathroom wall. I think it's VERY important for people (especially fit people like my son - are you paying attention, Son?!) who think everyone's willpower is…

Great find, thanks!

lol I had no idea the cat liked toys. It sure does limit what I can buy, now. Finding something strong, yet soft, AND affordable ... gonna take some research!

My dog (poodle) loves playing with toys so we have purchased many from the 2nd hand store and the $1 store. She looks like she's tearing them apart, but she's incredibly gentle. None of her toys even had a hole in them ... until one of our cats got ahold of them. He likes to walk around the house with plastic cups,…

That's exactly what I was thinking. lol

Making a joke out of this type of thing just makes people feel bad about themselves for not knowing/understanding. I think it's great for people like Eric to post this stuff. You never know who you could be helping.

Great timing. I've been using a local news site for weather, but I absolutely hate having to see the local headlines (I tend to get depressed with all the bad crap going on lol - if it's that important, my husband or son will let me know!). Checked out your links and so far I'm really liking Weather Underground. …

I never drank coffee until I married and then my husbands coffee (full of fattening goodness) grew on me so quickly I now drink more than he does. But I like my food & drinks HOT or COLD, not in-between. So for coffee & tea we use the 34 oz Thermoserv Foam Insulated Coffee Mugs (he leaves the lid off, I put it on). …

Oh my, I don't recommend the banana peel method at all. Fruit flies. Gad, now I'm cringing because you've reminded me that fruit fly season is coming up! lol

Great idea ... but wow that is expensive! I'm gonna take a look around, see if I can find something cheaper that does this. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, I never thought to look!

Many, many, many years of owning cats has taught me one thing: you cannot completely cat-proof a home. :(

When a cat does something as specific as crapping on your pillow, he is most likely trying to tell YOU something. Either he is ill or he's unhappy about something. New cats or other pets? Any changes? Boredom? Not enough attention? Doesn't care for his food? The hard part is not allowing yourself to hate the…

That was well done. Makes me feel sorry for the poor little ants. That reminds me ... weather is getting warmer, gotta get my ant traps ready!
