    The most dangerous cities for pedestrians- MSN Money Living in the south, I'd have to agree that our metro areas aren't very people friendly. I met a man selling electric bicycles at the most recent health/wellness expo. Coolest bikes ever. I had to ask him... "you aren't from here are you?"...

    Some may have seen these tips before and currently use them. Some were new to me and some were just plain smart yet I've never done them. All I know, I WANT a laundry room similar to the one they have a pic of near the end :lol: Got anymore tips to add/share that weren't listed? How to Get...
