One of my close friends is in an abusive relationship and I constantly let her know that if she wants to leave him she can come stay with me for a while until she can get back on her feet. I know that I cannot make her leave him...

beautyqueen26 Good riddance then. And, I'm happy that your friend is doing so much better with her life and hopefully happy. It's so much easier when the abuser just leaves and walks out and then it's over and done and nothing left to be said, but in court for marriage...

beautyqueen26 On the same day, you posted this discussion I had the same issue. And, after dealing with Mylot for a couple hours trying to log out, I finally gave up and asked a friend to come over to Mylot to check it out. Turns out others were going through the...

I need some ideas for things in my house that I want to turn into something else the way they are or take parts of them and make another items. At this point in time I have a large (seems to be over sized) corkboard and 2 book...

beautyqueen26 Fantastic ideas! I'm constantly having to repurpose things in my own house. Someone in our neighborhood discarded two perfectly good kitchen chairs that had the backs torn off but had the base intact. Right now, the two chairs are in active duty...

Well as we all know when it comes to heating the home during the winter if you run on electricity it can be very expensive. When I say expensive I mean like $430 during the coldest month we had. This month thankfully it went down...

beautyqueen26 Some very good ideas. I live in a mobile home too and this past month, my electric bill was nearly $300 and I can't afford that either. That's the highest it's been. But, the month before, we ran our electric heaters almost constantly non-stop...

beautyqueen26 My spouse is constantly complaining that I cook in too large of portions. He thinks there are way too many leftovers. But, since I have started cooking in smaller batches, there's barely enough food to go around by the time HE has second portions...

I have often seen that people think that being frugal is a synonym for being poor. I think it´s just the opposite: you are frugal so you don´t get even near the experience of poverty. I feel that being frugal has to do with using...

beautyqueen26 Hello Marguicha and SallyJ. You are both lucky to know how to garden. I am very envious. I have always wanted to garden and think that I will try it out this year or next, depending on whether we move to another house. My frugal ways have been my...

beautyqueen26 Please don't feel guilty about accepting a freebie or offer, even if you don't intend to purchase the item later. Those freebies and free samples are considering advertising and a total write off for the company giving them away. Really, they make...

I have heard many times about eating frugally as a synonim to not eating a good meal. On the contrary, it can be the difference between eating junk and preparing a nice healthy meal with little money. I always have a salad (grees...

beautyqueen26 Thanks for all those wonderful ideas. I have always wondered how to make homemade pesto. Do you put all that into a food processor or something like that to blend? I'm not sure. Thanks again for the info. I will be using that garlic pasta idea...

beautyqueen26 Wonderful! I'm very happy to hear that your computer is working fine now. I've lost more than one computer to spyware and crashes over the years and lost all my family photos and articles in the process. So I know what a big disappointment it can be to...

Right now I have straight talk but am thinking of switching to verizon prepaid mobile. The phone I have is dinky and I really think Verizon has better phones and one that I would use. Has anyone here used Verizon Prepaid mobile...

beautyqueen26 If you decide to go with AT&T, use caution and be sure you know what you are getting into. Back in Florida, we had to cancel one of our cell phones cause we couldn't afford it anymore and they charged us almost $300 cancellation fees though...

Well, this photo was taken today (1-26-11) in my back yard. It shows the depth of the snow in most areas here in Minnesota. We are already above the normal/average snowfall for winter and we still have Feb, March, and April to...

beautyqueen26 Same here! Every year, we get about an inch of snow that sticks around for about three days and slowly melts. My daughter always insists on going outside to play in the snow, though it's always too cold. We're lucky to get any snow, considering...

This morning is a good morning. Why? Well, I'll tell you, but I'd like to know how you woke up this morning (whatever day you are reading this)? Friday I had a sinus headache. Saturday that went away and a migraine hit me. This...

beautyqueen26 Hi Ambi and Kats, Hope you don't mind if I say something here. I wasn't sure if I would ever get to say anything to Kats about her situation so I wanted to say it now cause the situation might not be brought up again. I wanted to say that my family...

beautyqueen26 I'm hoping the weather will be better for the weekend. But, I doubt it! In our area, the weekends are always really rainy. I don't know why.

beautyqueen26 Being a stay at home mom, you'd think my days would go slower, but they really don't. Something new everyday to deal with.
