This week, I listed some things on eBay. I was going to list more items, but after searching similar listings and seeing that if they sold, I might make just a dollar or two, I’ve decided to just skip the hassle and donate the cheaper items.
I went through my bookshelf and pulled out all books I never plan to read and have no reason to keep. I entered their ISBN on Amazon.com and Paperbackswap. None of my books were worth much on Amazon, so I listed them all on PaperBackSwap . If I don’t get rid of them all by the end of September, I’m going to cart them off to Goodwill.
We’re making plans to get rid of my old desktop PC and computer desk. Our computer chair will probably go, as well as an unused television.
Though this is the largest apartment I’ve lived in, at 900 square feet, there still isn’t a lot of extra room. It feels great to lighten the load and get rid of things we don’t need. If we can earn a little money from our efforts, e...

Last month or so, I joined Pinecone Research. They’re a survey company, and only e-mail you when they have surveys for you to complete. No spam.

I received an e-mail just now that Pinecone is looking for males to join their research panel (via e-mail).
If you or anyone in your household is already a member of Pinecone, you canno... more
I just got back from a whirlwind of errands and I think I’ve just about completed my Christmas shopping. Woo eee!
Anyway, there was a BOGO sale at one store, and I want to explain why I had the cashier break it into two transactions.
I bought four items, all buy one, get one half off. The prices were: $24.99, $24.99, $9.99, and $9.99.
My first transaction was the two for $24.99, so I paid $24.99 for one and $12.50 for the second. (Incidentally, I had a $10 off coupon when I spen... more
The ice storm that has gripped the central part of the country has really got me thinking:
If our power goes out this winter and it is unsafe to travel, what shall we eat?
Without electricity of course, we won’t be able to use the refrigerator, stove, microwave, etc.
I don’t have a grill (well, just a little George Foreman). But, I do have a little fondue pot-esque ceramic baker that could probably do the trick:
This handy little cooker was a wedding presen... more
