rkwait1971 I've tried many times to get into the habit of using my checkbook register, then balancing it on a monthly basis. I could never get myself to complete the register for a full month, and then to even balance it(ha!). I am online so much that I often keep...

Humbug25 @Humbug25 (12540) 7 Sep 08

I really don't use my microwave oven and have been very tempted to give it away before on freecycle. It did come in very handy when I moved into my house a year ago and had no cooker for 6 weeks. Nowadays I simply use it for...

rkwait1971 I used to use my microwave all the time. I have noticed that alot of those frozen dinners you buy at the store tend to taste better when you cook them in a regular oven. Yes, I know it takes longer to cook that way, but they seem to taste better to me, and its...

We recently changed to a new home church. For several reasons. We go to the largest church in our town now. Some people said that our family just changed for that purpose but that is not the reason why. Our reasons were that we...

rkwait1971 I changed home churches about a year and a half ago. It was mainly after my wife and I had split and I just did not feel comfortable being in the same church with her and her family. I had been a part of that church for over 5 years, and had connected well...

Do We Still Make Money from Our Bank Savings?

fortknox75 @fortknox75 (842) • Philippines 3 Jun 08

I have been saving my money in the banks for years now but it's very frustrating to see how low the interests I get from them even if I put them in the time deposit. The sad part is that the interest I earned is still deducted...

At what point do you share your problems?

Amber @AmbiePam (95240) • United States 5 Sep 08
