    Financial Advice Needed.......

    See, I knew I was figuring wrong! Yes, of course 52 weeks in a year.....DUH! He gets a weekly paycheck. You're right. He'll have to change it, because now we're talking over $6700 which is basically our whole return. We like the return, because we are not good at saving money. We'll need...

    Financial Advice Needed.......

    Living on one income and barely scraping by we're thrilled to have this $130 extra a week to finally live a bit more comfortably. And by that I mean, paying the bills on time/paying off debts, buying clothes and shoes, GAS! You get the point. ;) Thanks!

    Financial Advice Needed.......

    DH just started a new job this week. :D He filled out his W4 form and accidentally claimed 5 instead of 4 like he had at his last job. The first check he received today is $130 more because of it. I realize if we keep it this way our income tax return will be less next year. So, will our return...

    Got a free rabbit hutch

    The hutch is all ready, but it's still vacant! I've decided a bunny will be my mother's day present! :) So, I'm still not sure which breed to get. I'd like the angora, but would I have to brush it EVERY day??? I can't imagine going out into the snow to brush a rabbit. :/ Do I just brush...

    Problems with my dad

    So, my dad has moved into his new apartment. My brother just took him to his next doctor's appointment. He needs B12 shots daily. I'm now arranging for transportation to get him to the doctor every day. Thankfully there is a shuttle service that will take him there for free! So, I think we...

    Seed starting

    Where are you keeping the seed trays??? You may have a temperature issue here. If the seeds aren't kept warm enough they won't germinate.

    Arugula? Need ideas!

    Why you all hatin' on the arugula? It's so much like spinach with a little bitterness added. I hate swiss chard. :plbb

    Problems with my dad

    Oh, I'm OK. I've had blood work. I used to be slightly anemic, but my body seemed to work it out. I eat lots of soy (non-GMO), beans, tons of veggies etc. I do take supplements just in case. I read about what causes B12 deficiency and it could be celiac's. He's always had digestive issues...

    Problems with my dad

    Well, I just found out something interesting! The Dr. had taken blood from my father and found that he is deficient in vitamin B12. He prescribed B12 vitamins, but also wants him to get B12 shots. I just googled info on B12 deficiency and this is what I found; Low levels of vitamin B12 cause...

    Problems with my dad

    Ugh. Just found out my dad's apartment won't be ready for another week. My poor brother has to put up with him staying in his house till then. I would share in the burden, but I don't have a spare room. I do have to entertain and feed him for another week though. :(
