Well now it looks like we may all have food poisoning

whittby @whittby (3072) • United States 28 Nov 08

Darn it. Here it is the day after Thanksgiving and we are all slightly sick. I can't figure out what could have caused all these trips to the bathroom! I had everything refrigerated and heated it up properly and it went to the...

check in the mail

whittby @whittby (3072) • United States 8 Nov 08

I don't usually post about making money online, but I was just so tickled yesterday to get a check in the mail from Clixsense. I didn't request it and they sent it without having to earn a large minimum amount. My budget was...

whittby @whittby (3072) • United States 28 Apr 08

Rent a handbag! Why didn't I think of this?

whittby @whittby (3072) • United States 24 Apr 08

Here is a concept that is new, at least to me. You go to this site, get a membership, and you get to rent designer handbags. Imagine my joy at finding this out. From $15 a week for a Coach handbag to $150 a week for a vintage bag....

Cat Dung Coffee - What are we missing?

whittby @whittby (3072) • United States 24 Apr 08

Well, I'm a little devastated. If I lived in the UK, I could spend $100 for a cup of coffee made from coffee beans, harvested from the dung of the Civet cat. The cat eats the beans, the beans go through its system and then are...

What is the longest time you've kept a car?

whittby @whittby (3072) • United States 24 Apr 08

In my younger days, I got a new car every couple years. I had nonstop car payments, but a bright new shiny car all the time. Now I'm older, wiser, more frugal, and have less expendable income. This car I have now may need to last...

whittby @whittby (3072) • United States 23 Apr 08

I have a birthday celebration coming up and will most likely do ice cream cake of some sort. I was pricing some the other day and came away with sticker shock. If I buy one, I want to get a really good one. If I make it, I want it...

Employee of the Month - Not Me!

whittby @whittby (3072) • United States 23 Apr 08

I truly hate Employee of the Month awards. In my opinion, it's a form of favoritism and more often than not, the selected employee's recognition harbors resentment. I don't want the fanfare of being selected the special employee,...

whittby @whittby (3072) • United States 23 Apr 08

How simple is this, classes from a local grocery chain to teach kids health eating habits. They get to see the food in the store. I do like this. Do you think this will help? Do you have large numbers of overweight kids in your...

How do you make your peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Do you put peanut butter on both sides of the bread and the jelly in between? Do you carefully spread the jelly to the very edges? Can you enjoy a sloppy sandwich? And what...

How do you search? Are you a straightforward type or do you get "fancy"?

whittby @whittby (3072) • United States 5 Apr 08

I use Google most often. I guess because I'm used to it. My son just asked me if I used "Boolean" with my searches to get better results. Well for Pete's sake, something else for me to learn now. I can use quotation marks, the...

Are you a fast or slow eater? Have you always done this?

whittby @whittby (3072) • United States 4 Apr 08

I was reading somewhere that one of the keys to losing weight was to eat slowly, enjoy each mouthful, chew your food, etc etc. This is supposed to be the way we eat all the time, even if we are not trying to lose weight. I quit...
