Dirty Jobs is on the Discovery Channel, but I am not sure when it's on. When I catch it, I am usually surfing through, looking for something interesting!

If you work in one of those offices that loves to ask people to "contribute" for breakfasts and such, those bargain bins can be a lifesaver! Be sure to take the bakery items out of the box, though, so that no one sees the red tag with the mark down price!

Would you have your island set up with as an extra prep area or would be strictly for storage, with a little overhang and a few stools for quick meals?

Years ago I saw this "Chinese Cabinet" that had a lazy susan-like turntable that pulled out of the cabinet, with drawers that extended outward. I couldn't believe the number of spices and cans this woman managed to get inside. I saw this over ten years ago and haven't seem anything like it...

The last really good dose of flu I had almost killed me. I get a shot every year, but have heard a more effective vaccine might be in the works. It targets a different spot on the viruses genome that doesn't change when the virus mutates.

I've found walking a good way to get ideas for some of my landscaping challenges. It's one thing to read tha ta plant will do well in my hardiness zone, but quite another to see actual proof that it will thrive before I buy it!

I hope a few online stores figure out how to do layaway. It would be great way to get ahead of the game as more brick and mortar stores start relying more on e-commerce to avoid the overhead of having a physical store front.

I find it easier to look after my shelter, food, and heat issues if my appearance draws a favorable response from other people. When folks say looks don't count, they aren't being truthful.

Very true. There was a time when that would have ruined a politician, but now, most people understand more about drugs, and are also willing to have leaders who present themselves as truly human.

I used to go to the gym, but the cost isn't something that is sustainable and my life needs to center on those things that don't take more from me than is reasonable. While a gym is nice, brisk walking is more affective, cheaper, and sustainable.

We will probably see more of these little gizmos showing up as people start finding ways to cut their expenses.

I like to open all of the doors and windows to let in warm fresh air, assuming it's not snowing!

I find it odd. I guess the powers that be feel that T.V. is pretty important. After all, how can you see all of the messages about not doing drugs, how to raise your kids, and letting your kids join the armed forces if you don't have a T.V.? :eek:

I keep hearing that humans weren't meant to live under constant stress, but are built for short bursts of stress followed wiith longer times of relaxed activity. Do you think doctors will start telling folks they should leave their jobs if the stresses become to great? Ther was a time when...

There was a show called "Living with Ed" on HGTV where Ed Begley talked about green and offgrid living. Ed Begly has one of those solar ovens. I think a few Urban Homesteaders use them as well, along with blender bikes.

Is the movie based on a comic book like Spiderman and Batman? I don't remember seeing any Watchmen comics but then I haven't looked for comic books in years.

Did "Flipping" Play a Role? I think the Flipping craze did a lot to ruin the housing market by artificially inflating real estate prices. Do you think so as well?

There's something to be said for watching nonsense with colors that move around. Cartoons are a nice diversion when you have a tendency to think all the time!

As extreme as this situation is, I sure hope her kids love her. She will be a haggard old woman when she gets done raising them, and will probably need to be supported by them in her old age!

I have a couple of friends who make their own beauty gear. Some use items from the kitchen pantry and others order in bulk, like you do. It saves money regardless of what the economy is like!
