Sometimes things amaze me, and they aren't always interesting or exciting things, mind you. Take my microwave, for example. It has a turntable inside, as many do these days, that spins round and round when you microwave...

Jim Bauer @kareng Most of the time that's all I use the microwave for. Heat up my leftovers for lunch. Heat up m y coffee. Cook baked potatoes and veggies. Other than that, there's not much else I really use it for. Oh yeah, and I defrost my meat.

I let the hubby decide on what was for dinner tonight and his choice was hamburgers! So hamburgers it was! We haven't had them in a couple of weeks, so it was a nice change. I added cheese to mine for a Cheeseburger. It was a...

It's not much, honestly. But it's still worth SOMETHING. I like to do these posts sometimes just to help to illustrate that to some extent. With $5 you can buy 2.7 dozen eggs at Ruler at $1.79 a dozen. You can buy 4.2 loves of...

You may recognize the name, Tylertown--you may not. Tylertown is the city where the flea market is where I have a booth. When I heard a tornado hit, I sent a text to one of the weekend workers and asked if the flea market got...

I often do a lot of traveling around the country, and as a result I am a member of a certain hotel loyalty/rewards program. So I tend to stay at that brand's hotels when I can due to the rewards program and other perks. In a...

Jim Bauer @lovebuglena It's a silly rule. If you want your guests to be comfortable, don't make them uncomfortable. It was like one lady who had vinyl covers on her couch and chairs. "Would you like to sit down?" "No. I'll stand, thank you, and as a matter of fact, I...
