Save Money With Generics!

WOW! That's crazy! And here I am, complaining about $90.00 for medicines... I think I'd break down and cry at the counter at CVS if that happened to me!

A Couple of Wise Guys...

I'm going to have to try "narrating" on my younger brother... he's the one who is always pushing MY buttons!

Your Cat's Whiskers: What Should You Know?

11 Jul 2006 07:27 AM

So it really is true that a cat can fit through any space that is as wide as his or her whiskers? I always wondered if that was just an old folk tale kind of thing or not. :)

Five Reasons to Love Brandon Routh - The New Superman

11 Jul 2006 07:25 AM

Oh gosh he's SOOOO handsome! I wasn't expecting to like the new Superman movie because of my love for Christopher Reeve... but this movie was pretty good! The action sequences were amazing, I loved Kevin Spacey, and drooled over the new Superman! The only thing I didn't like so much was Lois... Kate Bosworth wasn't a very "strong" Lois, she was kinda dippy. :P

Lemonade Stands with a Few Twists

Combining your kids' lemonade (or other) stand with a family yard sale is a great way to increase the foot traffic and profits AND help you keep an eye on the kids.

Starting Your Own Greenhouse

11 Jul 2006 07:18 AM

Just be sure you know your local laws about putting up and using a greenhouse... my aunt wanted a greenhouse and was told that by the laws of her town, she can only use it 110 days out of the year. WEIRD! What about the rest of the year? Do they come check? But you never know, your town may have some wacky law on the books, too.

Grade Your Dog Food

30 Jun 2006 10:10 AM

Sarah, thank you for coming forward! I saw your food grading system in several pet communities I belong to and wanted to try it out on my own dogs' food. (A later article goes through the checklist and rates Purina ONE Healthy Weight Management formula.)

I really admire the work you've put into this... most other food grading systems that I found were affiliated with a particular dog food and were obviously biased. I will definitely be getting in touch with you!

The Sinus Experiment: Day One

24 Jun 2006 09:17 AM

I had sinus endoscopy when I was 19, Michelle, and it helped me go from having a sinus infection all the time to maybe getting an infection twice a year. Seems like almost every time I get sick, it goes straight to my sinuses.

Thanks for the good wishes, Andi and Michelle... hopefully I can fight this off before it gets too bad. If not... I get to visit my doctor the comedian. :)
