DH accidentally left his cell phone in his pants pocket yesterday and it went through the wash, so need to get him a new cellphone. He needed a new one anyway, but we were waiting until next year to get it. Sprayed a few more weeds this morning. The only spending to far today is sandwiches at Subway and getting more gas for the lawn mower. We'll be buying gas for the snow blowers soon. Hamburger thawed for dinner tonight. Not sure what I will do with it. I hope everyone has a great day. Jill less

Well yesterday tummy was off again. Had to go vote after work so did not get home until around 2:15pm. Had lunch soup and a ham sandwich. Had a 2 hour nap then vomited up the lunch. Went on the computer and then watched some PVR'd shows. Had leftovers for dinner still did not sit well. 2 hours later that all came back up too. Strangely enough after that the stomach went really really quiet and felt so calm and settled down. Not had it feel like that for ages. Stayed up late on computer. Stomach still quiet, it is un nerving to say the least. Wonder if I had some sort of bug in there and it got expelled.
Ex FIL passed away yesterday morning in the UK. I told his only daughter he was ill last week and she went around and visited him for the first time in years. They had a falling out years ago and never spoke after he told her to stay away. Later he blamed her husband for... less

I could handle each of those situations if they happened further apart (like a week apart)but to have them happen on back to back days is just to much. I'd like some time to process one before the next one hits me. The X used to create back to back chaos like that whenever he got bored and made everything a big drama for months at a time so I'm also dealing with the flash backs from my marriage as well.
Yesterday I did a non frugal thing of driving 70 miles out of the way to get a case of chicken breast. I was hoping to catch up with a friend of mine that lived in the area but they were working so no such luck. I got my chicken breast ($1. lb) and drove back home. It's a good thing I stocked up on the chicken breast, pork chops and sliced cheese that I got locally. When I opened the mail I learned that I'm losing my food stamps next month. Thankfully the pantry is somewhat stocked.
Today it's church and laundr... less

Mags- I hope your holiday schedule is open and available when you want to travel. That would be a pain if it gets booked up.
Angie- Glad your teams won.
I was gonna make tacos but DH made steak nachos instead. So IO ate at work and had a cilantro rice burrito. It was tasty.
DS2 was showing me his pokemon card collection and telling me all about the different collections. I may get him a new set for his birthday to add to his tournament deck. less
Dear Dollar Stretcher,
Several months ago, I lost both my job and company health insurance. I found I could not pay for continuation of coverage AND pay my mortgage, and I didn't want to be homeless, so I did not opt to continue under COBRA. Ditto, the health ins. marketplace coverage. So I've been...
Just finished reading an interesting article on the Inc website.
Here's the focus of the article:
"The series of experiments from psychologists Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and Ayelet Fishbach was based on a simple but powerful insight. Most times, when people don't do what they should d...
Hi Mr. Foreman: I am a Girl Scout leader for a high school troop. They expressed interest in earning a badge called Financing my Future and after reading your article (on compound interest) I wanted to know if you have advice for teenagers on the topic of the badge. Thank you for your consideration....
Financial peace of mind is one of the most important things Angie and I have been able to achieve in life. It was a long time coming, but I can tell you that beyond a shadow of a doubt, our financial freedom has had an incredible impact on our lives that goes far beyond money and finances.
In...
