Freaky Frugalite

All of New York’s state workers are breaking out the fiddles. They’re rearranging the deck chairs. Passing out the lifeboats. (Except the only calls to board them are “state workers and politicians first! State workers and politicians first!”) I saw this latest OHMYGOSHNEWYORKISGOINGTODIEEEEEE headline. Had to laugh. If New York State tanks and goes to [...]

This is a repeat post. I discovered it recently, in my archives. I’d totally forgotten that I’d written this.. and when I saw it, I bust laughing like all get-out. i read it to my kids– this is definitely VERY motivating for them: study hard and get a good job, kids, or you’ll wind up [...]

Here’s some serious news for you ladies. I usually try to keep things “positive” here, but I know a lot of moms read this blog, and this is serious enough to bring to your attention.

Skype has made a deal with LG Electronics and Panasonic to make televisions with video-capturing capabilities. A LOT like the telescreens in George Orwell’s book, 1984.

I saw this at Renee’s Coffee Break– hilarious!! And sadly, it’s totally true! :ermm: As a lobbyist in Washington, DC, I’d just finished up a meeting with a Congressman when I stopped to use the restroom. After washing my hands, I stepped over to the hand dryer and noticed that someone had taped a note [...]

See those black stripes? That’s not burger grill marks… That’s the non-stick cookware that has come off the grill onto the burgers! GRRRRRRR This happens to me all the time, with every pan I buy! Am I the only one? I’ve had this problem with just about every non-stick cookware I buy. I don’t get [...]

I found this excellent post at a blog called A Moment in History by Jeff Sanders. His posts are all so insightful and relevant, but this one just floored me.
