Colmuc Hi mfllower, I really hope all your hard work pays off. It is difficult starting from scratch. Will be interesting to see what your compost container produces. I have a neighbour who plants pumpkins in her compost heap and they do really well. I love...

I read and heard before of people unpluging things to save money on their eletric bill. Like the coffee pot, dvd players, rechargable things, televisions. How much money do you actually save? Is it worth doing? What are other...

ladym33 I don't do those things because it would be a pain to have to plug them back in and reset them and all that stuff when I was ready to use them. When we go on vacation we do unplug everything, but not on a daily basis. I do try and make sure we turn things off...

Amber Yes, it works. I know it sounds like it isn't worth it, but every little bit helps. I experimented with it last year. I kept my thermostat on the same temperature, I monitored when I turned my lights on...And every time I used the microwave, can opener, and...

twoey68 I have heard you can save a little money doing this but I don't do it...I guess b/c it's too much hassle to run around plugging everything back in. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

Notlilie I think it will help to reduce the bills. I never do the unplugging though. So far I try to reduce the bills with doing things like : 1 - Switch off the plug after using it. I use electric water kettle. Instead of leaving the plug on after using it, just...

dragon54u I save about $50 a month by unplugging everything I'm not using. It's not a big inconvenience, either. I only use the toaster once a day so unplugging it isn't a big deal. Lamps, unused phone extensions and fans, coffee pot and other things are all unplugged...

clorissa123 My father used to do it. Unplug the television, DVD players, and other eletronic devices on the household. Actually, that doesn't really save much money at all. Why not save money from not going out too much. Or dining out too much; and stay home more often....

oyenkai I've heard parents say "well, they're just kids" and think that kids actually grow out of being mean. I think they're just trying to avoid having to BECOME parents and they'd rather not teach their kids what right or wrong is because it takes a lot of time, a...

teapotmommommerced I have heard one that is a doozie, "I cannot make him mind" For gods sake he is only three! The last time I saw the mother the kid was a drop out and the older brother was 21 living at home doing nothing. She would also come to my house and expect me to...

mercuryman3a There is no dirth of such parents who do not check their children for their bad behavior. They take pride in their child being a bully. They will repent later in life when the child starts bullying the parents. i have come across many parents who support their...

zhuuraan I can't think of any off the top of my head, but no that is most definitely not an excuse! That mother should then be teaching both the daughter and her brother how to share nicely. I can't stand parents like that! They are not parents if you ask me. It's so...

Anora_Eldorath It's always hard to broach parenting with another parent, but sometimes it needs to be done. I'd approach her the next time you are there and say that you and the other mothers are concerned for her daughter's behavior. Explain, lovingly, that you understand...

lynnemg I have heard many excuses from parents. "She's just tired", or "It's been a long day for her", "Her brothers pick on her, so she picks on others". es, they are annoying. I have kids of my own, and I do not hesitate to correct them when they do wrong. I don't...

ersmommy1 I guess some parents just don't take responsibility for kids behavior. Or maybe she is actually afraid to "parent". If my daughter (who is 5) were to misbehave we either make her apologize, or remove her from the situation, or both. We also explain why she...
