grammpaula My daughter talked to the post office about the signature confirmation. She was told that they would not refund the money since the package was delivered. They said if someone had signed for the package and the customer said it wasn't her then they would not...

Any fellow frugalists married to an opposite? I am an expert in efficiency and frugal living and i swear my hubby fights it tooth and nail. He so prefers to get what he wants when he wants... he's not really selfish by nature, but...

grammpaula Another issue is air conditioning in the summer. We just had air conditioning installed last summer. I'm happy with opening the windows and letting the fresh air in. I think the heat bothers my husband more because he works inan air conditioned office during...

It's the same for me...or actually more because now with the economy being the way it is there are more rebates, coupons etc that stores are trying to lure loyal customers to stay with them. In fact I've had several stores tell me...

grammpaula Watch for sale items that you have coupons for. You can often get these items free or nearly free. I agree that many generics are just as good as name brands. If I don't have a coupona nd the item isn't on sale I will buy the cheapest product, woch is ofter...

grammpaula It would have been interesting to see how the cheese carrying devices were to really be used. I'm sure they don't fall apart so easily when they are used by the Swiss. If so they need to come up with a better design. It was so funny to watch the guys at the...

grammpaula He will probaby do the tasks that don't require him hearing things like the bungie jumping last night. I do know that they have to trade off on the challenges so the mom can't do them all.

grammpaula I'm not fond of the "hillbilly" couple, but you are right they did do the cheese challenge better than any of the others. Of course with the editing you didn't know if they would find the yoder. And the Yoder sure didn't seem into her job. Did you see the look...

grammpaula Having someone deaf on the show could prove to be a challenge when they are separated doing tasks. He won't have his mom there to translate for him.

grammpaula It just went off here. I won't post anything about it so it won't be spoiled for those on the westcoast. I do have my favorites and my least favorites already. I didn't mind seeing the ones go home that came in last.

grammpaula I hate it when they have the racers get far ahead of the others and then they all end up at the same place and have to wait until morning to get into park or what ever. The backstabbing is fun to watch. The editing when the racers are ending a leg is kind of...

grammpaula I've only seen couple commercials for the show too. This seems strange. I actually forgot it was on tonight until my husband reminded me. We watch it every year. We always have our favorites.

grammpaula The post office said once the package is delivered and they have confirmation of that it is out of their hands, so insurance wouldn't cover the package. Also a signature could be give by anyone and the buyer still could fight it. Lucky for my daughter it...
