I started with Dave January 1st 2008 I have paid $53,279.68 in debt since I started FP I have paid it slow and steady. I was intending to pay this off faster but my job is no longer local and I am now required to drive 182 miles a day to get to my job so my gas cost went way up. Here is the...

Just wanted to say hi and LOL that we have ALMOST the same user name! :laugh: I keep thinking your posts are MINE and do a double take! Welcome to the village! :welcome:

You recommended something that you buy over the counter for a sleep aid and I can't remember what that was and the search is not working for me. Can you help me? Thanks. :)

It started at 8 am sharp yesterday, a call from some collector asking for a John Doe, who is not us, nor do we know him. I nicely explained they had the wrong #. Well, they called ALL DAY I have even explained to a supervisor this is OUR # we've had for almost 7 years, do a little research! They...

You know who you are. I know who you are here! :P You know the ones that makes a new dish from a new recipe. You rather spend money on a new recipe than clothes. You are proud of the new dish. You just need to take a pic and show the presentation. It's like "food porn pics." I loved this...

Ugh..here in Jersey we are getting 18 inches. Right now we have about 6. The visibility stinks. And DH's car...LOL, I don't even think it would make it to work. And I work about 25 minutes away. So I called work. Talked to the manager. She was annoyed, you could tell. Well you can't even come...

I have been having a very depressing conversation with a cousin of mine who asserts that the "fat cat" rich have had the scales tipped in their favor for too long, and that the average "peon" cannot get ahead. It is, in my view, the ultimate victim mentality - nobody's able to do anything to...

This Sunday's newspaper should be full of coupons. There should be 3 SS inserts and 2 RP inserts. I can't recall the last time I saw 2 Redplum(Vlassis) inserts. Go out and get the paper with the most circulation for the best coupons. Cat

I just went to the opthalmologest because I am diabetic it is a very important exam. They look for damage that diabetic has caused, Like blood vessels that are bleeding and cataracts. My exam shows I have 1 small bleeder and the start of cataracts in both eyes....Other then that my eyes are...

I swear every few months Discover calls and wants to know why we do not use their card... your interest rate it too high.... so they lower it just a tad or offer a 3 or 6 month low rate.. we buy one thing and pay it off that month .... then several months later they start calling. like they...

Any other English/British people here?

We used to use an AT&T calling card for making in-state long distance calls. When we began this a few years ago, it was very economical. Then, it seems, the phone companies had congress pass something allowing in-state minutes to "count" more, so that your 1,000-minute card might only last 333...

A little bit of a stupid mean people rant... Today i read an article in a magazine quoting a reader who says that she was soooooooo frugal that the only cable she will pay for is basic. She felt so proud of herself and thought that she was better then the people around her. I kinda paused and...

My no good, worthless brother is calling me again. He left me a message to call him this morning. Nope, not happening. Then when I was talking to my mom someone beeped in. I HATE call waiting and never answer it. As soon as it stopped beeping my mom said "hold on someone's beeping in" and...

We have one cat right now. He is a siamese and has always had a sensitive stomach. Another words a pukey cat. LOL Well we picked up another bag of cat food Saturday it was like $18 for a 3 pound bag! :yikes: We feed Science Diet. We have tried grocery brands and it makes his puking worse...

I thought I'd put the call out for the CF frugal folks on the board. Who's CF on the board? And do you have pets? Me -- 2 adorable cats that get into way too much trouble when DH and I are at work.

Okay, I have had cats for years. I just recently "acquired" a new cat, she is about a year old. I have 2 cats that are 3 and 1 other cat that is one. The new cat is extremely anti-social. Her previous owner told me that she has NEVER been around other cats. But I figured no big deal, my cats...
