The negative is that a water-guzzling plant would need to watered more often. Would need to be much more careful watering, as to not miss a pot, instead of just letting longer roots find the water on their own. And use square pots or they’ll be much less soil, stunting growth and requiring more frequent watering.

Instead you hand clean the knife and cutting board instead of throwing rack in dishwasher?

And then hand clean a cutting board and a knife instead of just tossing the rack in the dishwasher?

So how do you slice 4 bananas? Do you clean a cutting board and a knife? The rack just goes right in the dishwasher.

What is insane is that people feel it alright to make tight connections, because everyone should slow down their day to give priority. Get over yourself. You are not special, despite what your mother and grandmother claimed all your childhood. Plan connctions of 1 hour or more, chances are there will be a delay…

That is just a fad, because in America that is not reasonable given all the food choices. Avoiding meets and dairy is not realistic or substainable by the general public. And it looks VERY expensive.

Ultimately if you consistently eat 500 calories a day under what it takes to maintain your weight then you’ll lose weight. Eat 500 more and you’ll gain weight. Carbs minus fiber = calories, fat = calories. The calories you need decreases as you age. Weight Watchers is great at teaching you the foods do avoid,…

Would agree with low-carb, but the all-you-can-eat bacon versions (adkins) is a fad (and dangerous).

Many cities have a nearly 50% tax on car rentals. The more stadiums (public money paid to private developers), the more tax. Phoenix is something like 60%, off-site 20 miles away is closer to 15%. For a 10 day rental the difference was more than $300 ($160 at offsite from Enterprise vs $480 using cheapest agency at…

Poverty

15 years ago. I describe it as eagle vision. Simply life changing, having had thick glasses or contacts since elementary school.

Everyone should have a yard sale every five years. And every closet and drawer and box needs to be gone through in the two months prior. Yard sales are easy if instead of pricing stuff you just put down blankets and everything on a particular blanket is one price. At the end take the remainders to Goodwill. And never…

If you lose an income then IMMEDIATELY go into spending reduction mode. Cut out cable and any other non-essential monthly bills. Start paying the minimum on your mortgage (you did refi into the lowest monthly payment instead of reducing the term to save pennies, right? Knowing that you could always pay extra each…

All my trash gets composted in the landfill.

A can of Coke is 25 cents in the grocery store (12 pack $3.00 on sale when you can stock up). Only decent place to get it otherwise is Circle K at 69 cents for 32+ ounces. Everywhere else is a rip off, espcially $2.50 at most restaurants (Pizza Uno is $2.99!!!)

People wonder how we can afford taking so many vacations and weekends away. We don’t go to the convenience stores, we don’t go to coffee house, we don’t eat out more than once a week. And when we go out we look at the price of soda, if it is over $1.50 we order water or coffee. We really like picnics, which we always…

In brownies, too!
