Have you ever overdrawn your bank account on purpose? What was it for? Something you NEEDED or something you just wanted? I have to overdraw my bank account today. It's going to cost me $30 to do so, but I have no choice. Our...

newtondak I could not have, in good conscience, spent money on Bingo when my family's finances were such that I had to overdraw my bank account to buy my child shoes. Why not visit a used clothing store, Salvation Army or other charitable works and find a pair of shoes...

Is anyone familiar with Dave Ramsey and the total money makeover. I really need to do something to help our financial outlook and was wondering if his approach was a good one. I feel so dumb and ashamed. I know the aspects of...

newtondak Dave Ramsey has experienced financial problems himself and a lot of his knowledge comes from that experience as well as a formal education in finance. I believe that his teachings are very sound and we, as well as a number of our family members, are following...

newtondak http://www.drugs.com/adipex.html I prefer to skip on the drugs and supplements and opt for a healthy eating plan instead. Many of these things can not only mess with your metabolism but can be harmful to your health.

newtondak If you want something crunchy for a snack, try Real Foods Original Corn Thins - very healthy and satisfying. They look somewhat like a rice cake, but are made of corn.

newtondak Most kinds of commercially baked breads are not good for weight loss, regardless of whether they are white or whole wheat - all contain highly processed and refined wheat/grain flours as well as various forms of sugar.

President Obama has a plan for the distressed mortgage holders in America, or does he? Whether or not you support the president, one thing is perfectly clear; his plan totally ignores a great majority of the people who need relief...

newtondak That's not going to happen - Obama used the fact that he supported the farm bill (and farm subsidies) to get the vote in a number of mid-western states. McCain had said outright that he would do away with them. Now that he's elected, Obama has said that he's...

We are each trying to do our part to recycle and reuse natural resources. What's the strangest thing you have decided to recycle or put to new use. Or what thing in its original use wasn't so strange, but what you did with it, was...

newtondak I think they just tell us those things so that we'll go buy expensive storage containers or drink bottles instead of reusing what we have!

What's the matter, can't Obama's actions and words speak for themselves? It reminds me of little kids arguing over whose daddy can beat up the other. If the discussion is a comparison of the two, or of the parties, then yeah,...

newtondak I honestly hope for the sake of the American people that someone in Washington has researched these various plans/packages and has some indication that they will help our economy - but I am VERY skeptical that is the case and I am VERY doubtful that any of...

So, I'm on a low calorie diet (1200 calories a day) and I exercise 3 times a week (I work with dogs so I am standing/walking/lifting/playing 8 hours a day 3 - 4 days a week, which is why I only do extra exercise on my day off)....

newtondak What I am going to say is primarily based on how I eat on my selected eating plan, and I am sure others on other plans may disagree. I don't eat bread, and I don't eat cereals that are made with processed grain - only whole grain cereal. I also don't eat...

newtondak 00BleedingShadow00 - Is is great to hear from someone involved in the medical field - sometimes we take the word of our physicians as gospel, and because of the cost involved or the providers our insurance allows, we don't seek another opinion.
