Hi friends!

First of all, congrats Steve!!

2nd, bke!! You're going to work yourself to death girl! I hope you can get some help with the pizza deliveries - or does that negate the profits? ...

I think it can't hurt. My most trusted advisers this year have been an elementary math support teacher, a 6th grade social studies teacher and a middle school science teacher. None of them are the...

Zoe, do you have a union rep or trusted colleague you can confide in/ask your questions/help you get oriented? Someone who might already get the general lay of the situation/personalities but not...

Still here once in a while! Thanks for thinking of me, that gives me warm fuzzies. Babe is 8 months old and yes, it's pretty amazing how life changes. :)

Here's your laugh of the day, a few...

Our Whole Foods has some really nice, full tree toppers that could be their own small Xmas tree. We are tempted to get one for our house even though we've never had a live tree and we already have...

Two friends of mine, sisters, have lost their father from whom they were estranged for the last several years. What is a good way to acknowledge their loss where the usual platitudes do not feel...

Also, we used sokindregistry.org to compile ideas for his shower, and it was great. We could collect ideas from all the different places around the web into one place. I can private message you the...

mira, I had missed the happy news! Congratulations! I am so glad you asked this question - I am starting to think of it as well as our little man is now six months old.

So many awesome ideas!

Selah, I had to look up "making Aliyah" and went down a whole rabbit hole of new-to-me information. There are as many Jews in North America as in Isreal?! Amazing. Sounds like things are going...

LOL, catherine, the thread did get started back in March, but Gardenarian just posted about her interview at the end of Sept. :) Congrats, Gardenarian!

I cook them down in the crock pot and then run the whole kit 'n' caboodle through our food mill to take the skins off. With the resulting tomato sauce/juice we make chili. Yummers. Probably not...

Oh, and frugals? What are those? $365 at Costco today, 'nuf said. Well, ok, I'll say more. Actually did well on price per unit, and we hadn't gone in a number of months. Some of the purchases...

Oh, they had such a gorgeous day weather-wise, and the riverfront is exquisite right now with all the leaves. I hope it was everything they wanted it to be, and as you said, hope it is a great sign...

A Friday wedding - typically a frugal move! Well done to DSD! :) And of course, congratulations as well!

I think gut is fine as a sole reason not to do something, or to do it. I have been working hard to listen to my gut. As I'm exploring this idea I just have to be careful, personally, that acting on...

Hi all, have been keeping up pretty faithfully with you all even though I haven't had the successes to really post . . .

Had a lovely expensive but very simple day with 14 family members...

Lovely analogy about the plant. I am the teeniest bit jealous of your move. Sounds like a big adventure. Keep coming back here as you need grounding and good vibes.

Hi all! Not so frugal lately, though inspired by yours. I had the chance to meet Fawn in person on Saturday when she dropped off her daughter at a nearby college, and it was delightful, and it also...

Continuing with the challenge as always! :)

I'd contact Visa myself. Shady.

Mattress! A big one, so glad it's gone.

Broke an ice cream scoop: to the garbage.
Charity pickup of a dozen items or so.
Sold several diapers and a woman is on her way to pick up more.
Organized some things for work to take to my new...

Thanks everyone!!
