If you really want to learn stuff like that, try buying a DVD and practicing at home. Then you can pause and replay any part you don't get until you learn it. Once you get it down and your body gets...

The poor little guy. I dried some herbs in my dehydrator this weekend, and when they were done, I discovered the spider all curled up and dead. Man, what a way to go.

No, I don't think disposable items are meaningful or critical. I think we're just too lazy to clean or refill or otherwise maintain the non-disposable items. Much easier to toss them and go buy...

Loosechickens, your comment about "global chaos" brought to mind the devastating storms that the southern US has experienced. If that's not chaos, I don't know what is. Living in Arkansas, I've...

If anybody wants more info or personal reviews about P90X, check out www.cathe.com and do a search. It's a fitness website with some excellent forums. I've never tried P90X though.

I used to have a nice little Ford Ranger and got a lot of good use out of it. But when it was time to replace the old fellow, I chose a Honda Fit, which I dearly love. Occasionally I still need the...

I was sitting here, actually working on a project that I enjoyed. But my brain is DONE. It happens around 2 p.m. every day. After that, heavy thinking is not possible. Oh, I suppose it would be if I...

I'm in the South, but we've had a rather cool and very wet spring. Otherwise I think things would be a bit further along than they are. I picked my first batch of green beans over the weekend and...

You might want to consider just doing one workout a day, like biking one day, then hiking the next. It's good to mix things up and give yourself some variety. If you feel...

Tiam - Oh wow, your post sent warning signs flashing all over for me. If you are in that much pain, you need to back off... please! I applaud you for your goals and for your effort. But remember that...

I guess there are probably some people who can't invest due to financial circumstances, so maybe my question should be, Is there anyone who prefers not to invest? By "invest," I'm refering to...

I'd say a whole lot of elbow grease is your best ally, and it sounds like you have plenty of that! I don't have any nifty tips, really. I live in the southern US, with long, hot, humid summers and a...

Mira - Your post got my interest! I'm going to Google baking soda as a shampoo. But can you tell me how the shampoo mixed with conditioner works? I guess it's sort of like the 2-in-1 products you see...

I don't know exactly what rugs you're talking about, since I haven't been shopping in a while. :~) But I have what I call puzzle mats that I use when I exercise. They're fairly firm, but they provide...

Oh yeah. I'm with you, Fidgie. I think the main thing that bugs me about clocks is that I have to be in the same place at the same time and do the same thing every single day. The routine is...

Yep, I think the weather plays a big role. We live down south, and have also had a lot of weather changes - it's spring, after all! My mom's arthritis has been acting up something fierce, and...

I used to like Boca burgers a lot. I still think they taste good, but I stopped eating the veggie burgers as a regular part of my diet because I decided to go more "natural", which meant eliminating...

Well, I've already considered the "Curly Girl" method of no-poo. I actually looked into that a year or two ago, and it sounds like so many people get such good results. But dang it, I cannot wrap my...

I guess this isthe right place to post this...

Does anybody have frizzy hair, and how do you manage it frugally?

Here's my situation. I have thick, curly hair that frizzes like crazy in the...

Congratulations!! Enjoy!

Definitely apply for the Perfect Job. You owe it to yourself to find out more, and really discover if it IS the perfect job. Do your homework and research it inside out, backwards and forwards. I...

Hmm. I do think that the ideal of retirement as we're used to seeing it - never work again and just kick back all day - is a thing of the past. Our society is demanding more and more of us as...

Lhamo and Shari - Thanks for your positive outlook on this mess. I do hope you're right!

Debi - I think you did exactly the right thing, and I'm very glad it worked out so well for you.

Ha. I'll probably die broke but for other reasons.

But if I was in the circumstances you propose, I would of course make sure my situation was secure, but I wouldn't blow it all just to spend...
