For the record "young folk" the PC crap I'm pretty sure was referring to Politically Correct crap, not a personal computer.     There is something wrong in your company if the 'old folks' don't know how to run email...  as the tail end of the Boomer generation I can assure you that all us 'old folk' are the ones that b...more

This assumes a few things... first that meat is something you are willing to cut out of your budget on a whim and second that you have a huge freezer.   I happen to agree that having a huge freezer is one way to save BIG on groceries in the long run.  Buying during a GOOD sale on things can save 30-40% off even good pr...more

I can relate, I'm a single Mom and run my own business...  and the crockpot idea is great along with making a 3-4 hour slot for making stuff in mass quantity.  Make a BIG pot of spaghetti with meat sauce, and freeze 2 meals and eat one.  Then all you have to do is reheat it twice while boiling noodles.   There are a nu...more

EPASTINKS - you make some valid points, but you also come off as an idiot. (example: there are no laws restricting voting to the ignorant and undereducated. Many of us that do not fall into those categories vote) More notable is how judgmental you have been through many of these posts. Do you REALLY believe that you a...more

I've been looking for ANY explanation as to WHY the sale of these cars would be restricted by the government. That the car companies may not WANT to try and sell them in some areas where $150-$400 may reduce their sales is simple to comprehend, but why would they NOT ALLOW people to buy them, even from out of state if ...more

Well, I used to agree with all you 'natural' women, but having my first child at 39 and being about 1/2 grey then, I got tired of people asking me how old my grandson was!!    It's too bad that people associate age with hair color, but it became obviously so. As a business woman, I had found that not lookiing so you...
