Finally Gone Too Far

Friday, September 12th, 2008

I’m planning my escape.  I’ve been trying to figure out how to leave my job and make enough income to work from home.  That time has not yet come, but I am choosing to leave my job.  I work as a mental health nurse and have been told in so many words that my job is to […]

Is My Electric Bill High?

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I certainly thought it was, but the guy who does the yearly maintenance check on my central air conditioning system said it’s not.  I’ve just completed my first year here at the money pit and I have had nothing to compare my power usage month by month.  $113 sounds high to me.  I’m willing to give […]

Check Out the Fat Man

Since this is Finance and Fitness Friday, I suggest that you check out a blog called Fat Man Unleashed.  This is a healthy weight loss, diet, and fitness blog written by Israel Lagares, a fat man getting back into shape.  Israel is a man in his prime, a former gym rat by his definition.  As with many of us, that younger, […]

SIDS – An Answer?

Friday, August 8th, 2008

I read an article in in the July/August issue of Science Illustrated that indicates that the mystery of why 2,000 to 3,000 babies between the age of two months and one year die yearly with Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.  Until lately this has been a mystery, but researchers at Seattle Children’s Hospital suspect that it may […]

27% Pay Increase

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Asking for a pay increase of 27% seems a bit wild to me, but that’s what happening in my neck of the woods.  This is what the pilots in our area want.  The pilots I’m talking about the pilots who guide the large ships into Tampa Bay.  It seems that $262,392 isn’t cutting it for […]

Laundry Mathematics

Friday, July 25th, 2008

I’ve been trying to figure out how laundry multiplies.  There doesn’t seem to be much logic to it.  I did two, sometimes three loads weekly prior to Consumer Man moving back in.  That has turned into five or six loads a week now.  I would think that the most that would happen would be a […]

Fitness By The Numbers

Friday, July 18th, 2008

I had a doctor visit last week.  You know the one.  The first of the week you go have fasting lab work drawn.  The end of the week you go find out the numbers.  In between you have most of the week to fret about the numbers.  Will they be too high?  Will they be […]

Interesting Clicks

Friday, July 18th, 2008

I found a couple interesting health related sites yesterday.  You can go to this Olay site for information as to where you can receive a free skin cancer screening. Go to this Oral B site and click on Operation Smile.  When it takes you to this site, click on the child’s photo and you have […]

I Don’t Hate Home Depot Anymore

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Hate is actually too strong a word to use for the feelings I’ve had towards Home Depot, but I’ve had no reason to not have an active dislike for them.  The attitude at Home Depot should be that of wanting to assist the customer by providing expertise and knowledge of what is needed to complete the […]
