Your best money saving tips here, please

larc's thread on coupons gave me this idea.. we all know coupons can save you a few dollars or more.

but how do you save real money???.

do y'all have any tips that you wanna share?

When you buy something with cash (bills) take the change you get and store it away, I was saving 50 dollars a month just with toonies. I also had pennies, nickels and dimes to roll. Every little bit helps.

last week i spoke to my mother-in-law for the first time since visiting her ugly ass, at christmas, in florida.

i, unfortuantly, picked up the telephone without checking caller id.

it was not her usual sunday evening call.

Your MIL sounds like my mother, what a tyrant. I get along better with my mother-in-law, I have no relationship with my mother, told my sister I would not take care of her any longer, since I took care of her for many years and she only emotionally abused me.I carry a good sense of humour with my MIL and we laugh alot. She is 80 and a real sweetie. I think if you have her live with you, you will become emotionally damaged. Send her to a home.

Pet Peeves

anyone have any pet peeves they'd like to air?

here's one that just happened at work that is an annoyance for me: when you are speaking and the person interrupts the conversation with a corny play on words or the like.

for example, "i had to sit on the phone on hold for about 5 minutes, waiting .

one pet peeve I can think of is cleaning up after people, and oh yea the I'm the only one who knows how to put toilet paper roll on the roll. Happens everytime I sit down, and having the toilet seat up, so when I sit in the middle of night, I fall in, that's damn cold on the butt.

Who is actualy a jehovah witness here? I mean Jeez

by ShyGurlie in

im a young high school girl who thinks that this is crazy.

It truly shows that you are indeed a young highschool girl, because if you more mature, then you would realize, that even coming to a chat room as this is totally the wrong thing for you to be doing. You better hope that the elders never find out, because you could get into alot of trouble. A true mature JW would not even consider getting involved. Maybe you should search your conscience and ask yourself if you are doing a good thing.

My mother Noticed

by metatron in

friends

years ago, when my mom was alive, she was very active.

in the door to door work.

she always had bible studies.. but she started noticing a change in the kind of people.

I truly believe the posts that have been written here, there is alot of very good points made by everyone. I would like to add a point, I really believe any organization that brings divisions amongst family and friends is truly the wrong one. How many have lost loved ones and many,many good friends through these divisions. If you get df or leave on your own accord, then many people shun you, turn their backs on you. Someone said once, blood is thicker than water, well if this statement is true, then where is the proof. I thought in my heart of hearts that nothing ever should every seperate, or be the cause to seperate families. The truth has taught me that all it does is cause deeper pain within a person. So many of us have lost out on, and miss the love they once had from our families, son, daughters, husband, wives etc. This is truly a sad sad thing. WHERE HAS TRUE LOVE GONE? I mean to this day, I still feel the lose, some days stronger than others. When you grow up with a brother or sister as an example, then you leave the org. or are put out, you still have the memories from childhood, and nothing I believe can erase such memories. Now you have nothing but memories, this is sometimes to overwhelming for me because all I ever want is the normal life, the family life I was forced to leave behind. Yes you can surely go on and make new friends and start fresh so to speak, but what's left behind is still in your head and heart. I cry for the lose of a sister, but feel she probably doesn.t give to hoots about how my life is, because if she did, she would truly be apart of my life now.

Weight

by gilwarrior in

well today i went to my trainer and i weighed myself.

i weigh a disgusting 258 pounds!

i new record for me.

You should lose weight just by eating what you are planning to eat, lots of veggies, fruit, and white meat. Watch those apples though, I hear they help retain water. Another good idea is drinking plenty of water 6 to 8 glasses per day, I know that not many people like water, but it will clean out your system, help give you energy. That and being active, should give you excellent results. I also have always had a bit of a weight problem, but lost 40 lbs by doing this kind of eating and exercising. I used a stationary bike and a gym 2000, I loved working on that, especially in my own home, I could watch TV and work out. I eventually was doing it everyday for 3 quarters of an hour, and never even realized how quickly time went by. Swimming is another great way to get a good work-out.
