As you've read from my past posts on here, I love travelling. Because of our low income, we're somewhat limited, but we still manage to have a GREAT time! I went to +NYC on my own, for example, because Hubby was not interested in...

Desperate

scorpiobabes @scorpiobabes (7225) • United States 11 Apr 13

Every month, we end up short. Lately, it's been every payday we're short. I make budgets all the time-and everything works out. But then something happens-and we're overdrawn. I gave up everything-I sold my car, and gave the...

Lindalinda Dear Scorpio, My heart goes out to you. I think you are really desperate and your healh is a concern. You are doing many things to help yourself but it seems it is not enough to get you to a better place.This grinding desperation takes away your morale and...

Lindalinda The article did state the name of the restaurant. The manager was also interviewed and said she only put up the sign when the toilet in a convenience store across the street broke and 12 to 15 people a day came over to use the restaurant bathroom.

momalisa65 @momalisa65 (1971) • United States 23 Feb 13

Wow, I bought a jar of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil to use, because people were saying how healthy it is, and I was trying to use it everywhere I could. When I was making waffles for breakfast (with a box mix) I used the Coconut...

Frugal storage ideas anyone?

happythoughts @happythoughts (4109) • United States 27 Sep 12

Lindalinda Oh well, it happened and is what it is. I guess in the meantime you have acquired some clothes to help you out. Another thing I wanted to suggest to you is to put a wicker basket at the foot of each bed so all the dirty clothes are immediately stored and don't...

Lindalinda But in Italy you can also buy all sorts of flavours in teabags at the grocery store. It is nice to make a pot of hot tea on a cookl day. Also the bottled cold tea has way too much sugar. Not good for your health.
