tams85 I just started taking a vanpool in to work and that makes me at least 15 mins early everyday. When I used to drive myself, I was always 5-10 minutes late, but no one seemed to care really. As long as I'm getting my stuff done that is.

I'm in university, and one of our required courses is an ethics class, and for our first assignment, our professor gives us an article to read, and wants us to write an opinion piece on it. The article was entitled "Why the...

My number one tip is to go alone. Kids, spouses, friends, whatever... all have their ideas of what should be bought, and usually don't watch prices very closely. When I go alone, I know what I'm going for, what the prices are and...

tams85 Here's a good one: don't go when you're hungry; you always ending up buying way more than you should, just because you're thinking in your head that you can eat that particular item as soon as your done shopping, and before you know it, you've got so many...

When I was young, I really didn't enjoy reading. I'm not sure why that was the case, perhaps it was because I didn't like school, and reading reminded me of school. :) As I get older, I am finding that I'm picking up books a...

Recently someone sent me a link to a site where you can make money online. On the first impression, it signed like a pretty neat deal. When you sign up they hand you $50 to invest online through their program. You can also get...

tams85 With the way internet companies are popping up and dying off every day, I wouldn't trust this site. Furthermore, if no one is putting any money into it, they can't possibly make a profit, so how can they pay you? It's not a very good business plan if you ask...

tams85 I think the teachers might be trying to incorporate family values into their lessons plans, and 'family projects' to them seem like a good way for parents to spend time with their kids. I know a couple with a kid in grade 3, and they're both lawyers, so they...

tams85 I think it somewhat has to do with the fact that women are seen more and more as equals to men nowdays. Back in the day, the women were considered as fragile creatures that needed taking care of. There was no such thing as an independant women back then, I...

tams85 I have a lot of 'immediate' family. There's a lot of politics.. I can't invite one person without inviting this other person, and stuff like that. I do wish I could have a small wedding with just my close friends and family.

tams85 I've found that internet booking is the way to go. You can research all your options and prices, there's no bargaining, and you can create your own itinerary. I've also found that the prices online are better that what a travel agent would quote you. There...
