Precisely. Yes, I can’t afford a super vacation—I’d love to go to Europe. But I have enough money & time to take small vacations every year.

Man, y’all are making me glad I live in a small town with an excellent Farmers Market. We generally pay $3 for a dozen eggs, and if I ask, I can usually get a mixed color dozen (which includes green eggs) from a guy who lives in the same county and has been selling us eggs for years.

Keep stuff that you’ll like and use, and if you won’t use it, see if someone else can use it.

Does anyone else want the pictures to be larger, so you can see what the book titles are?

Also important (as other have noted) is to find things that will help make the exercise tolerable. I walk every day at lunch, and I discovered that when I’m listening to an audiobook, I’ll walk longer than when I’m listening to music, because often I’ll walk till I finish a chapter, whereas with music, I’d sometimes…

Oh YES. The people who always say please and thank you, who state up front that they don’t know what they’re doing, who apologize when they know it’s their fault, and above all, who bring doughnuts?

No, it’s not bad info. We don’t allow macs onto the printer and network shares.

CeraVe is what works best for me. I have sensitive skin that breaks out even with Neutrogena, but a light moisturizer followed by CeraVe works very well for me.

At my work (university) we recommend the Surface for those who are considering a laptop just for email and taking notes at meetings. It’s works quite well for that, and with the professional version, they can access Active Directory network resources, which they can’t do with a Mac of any flavor.

I have the Leatherman Skeletool for work and I love it!

I have USAA and I wouldn’t switch for anything. Whenever I have had an accident, they’ve helped with everything, including advising me to make a loss of value claim when someone hit our brand new car (sitting in my driveway for dog’s sake!). That kinda of assistance when I’m upset and freaking out was—quite…

I discovered when I started going along to my husband's conferences (for a cheap vacation) that doing things alone can be quite nice, and definitely relaxing.

Precisely!

One thing I did back when I was living paycheck to paycheck, to build up that secret buffer, was to round everything to the nearest dollar when I entered in in the register. $4.58? $5.00! $17.92? $18.00! $17.01? $18.00!

So you’re saying I need a neon sharpie? ;)

And I’m in WV, so lots of chemical contamination everywhere. :(

Ah. I think the sharpie might work as well for that—I’d just leave a note written on a tree. :)

OK. I admit, I’m confused. A notebook for emergencies?

I had a notebook for awhile, but never used it, so took it out. If I want to take notes on anything, I’ll just use my phone.

Booze is counter-indicated with the anxiety meds. ;)
