Wow! Thanks for all the responses, everyone!

I had not considered using time as a donation to this organization. Which is odd, because that's how I got involved with them in the first place (an...

I'll have to try that one, Rosemary -- as soon as the big jar of hoisin sauce is gone! :)

Welcome!

Might you have options in drilling another well?

Do you have kids? A wife? Is it a good possibility you'll have some in the future? Is this the "forever" property?

Personally, rural Georgia is not a place I would enjoy living in, even if the...

I'd bake it and top it with a flavorful sauce. My preference would be like a thinned hoisin sauce, but you wouldn't want to buy hoisin sauce if you didn't already have it (it's a stock item for us)....

I had mentioned in the June Frugals thread that DW and I are looking at our expenses again now that we've added some and reduced/eliminated others.

One that is causing a little dilemma is a...

Yeah, we've been rockin' the false-frugals here lately. Well, not really false, but not really frugal either. At the moment, I'm in a hotel lobby. DW is at a work-related conference for which she got...

ZG that does sound good. Is there a formal recipe or just a little of this and a little of that?

If the phone is starting up and has the normal screen content on it (except for signal bars), you could try:

- seeing if your phone has a setting that switches off the cell radio. Nowadays that's...

There's that, too. I'd rather save my energy for the what-do-do war rather than the how-did-this-happen war. :treadmill:

I suspect the biggest decision they make is which company is going to supply the Dumpster.

lark, a few thoughts:



Dan Buettner's $5000/month assessment is bogus. Spartana mentioned being very happy on much less per month than that. DW and I have been living on about half of that...

So you're saying our Zone reclassification is simply a more accurate rendering of the way it's been all along? I'll buy that.

The problem with determining climate change is that we don't have...

We have one right around the corner from our house. The Little Library, in turn, is right around the corner from the rec center library in the neighborhood. I have to admit I haven't visited the...

From the link (bolding mine):

Yet with all that additional accuracy, we are a Zone warmer than before. There are some considerations re: statistics and their collection and, without going beyond...

Interesting -- and, honestly, dismaying.

My last gig -- a Fortune 100-ish global manufacturing company -- showed a very different skew than media relations and financing, though M&A&D were much...

Apparently we're now a USDA Plant Hardiness Zone warmer than we used to be. That's something (and math :) ).

When I was growing up in Lawn Guyland I was aware of a kind of "Standard American English" -- what you heard from the national news anchors and others. Of course, we differentiated between Brooklyn...

Agreed.

Matthew 6:1-4



Honestly, sometimes I wonder if other people read the same book I read.

Random selection of frugals:


My car didn't move Monday. Boy, did it move on Tuesday (very closely-spaced commitments several miles apart)! It would not have moved yesterday but for lunch with a...

frugalone, I feel for you. (((frugalone))) Not a fun place to be.

I'm gonna do "the guy thing" :~) and suggest again that you contact a group or agency (perhaps even one at the school, as an...

Kelli, do you know how much Dunn Bros. charges for a growler of iced coffee? Lots more than it cost you. Great frugal!

You're in a crummy situation frugalone. :(

If there are no "library-like" opportunities, could you make a viable career out of your second-favorite thing to do (whatever that is) and then...

Amen! Hugely interesting set of books and a way to spend more time than one would think imaginable, especially if one has lived in more than one place in their lifetime.
