If you indulge in this painful behavior it makes you an idiot. But at least it is something that you do in the privacy of you own home. (Hopefully) I, not having to witness it or even know about it will be best....

My money is not going as far as it used to. I’ve taken a look to see where I can cut back. House payment and bills are pretty much fixed; I solved the gas problem by filling up when the gauge reads half full, cutting my gas...

I think it is fair to assume that all of us have our "things." You know, a certain way any given "thing" has to be done. For me, if I'm being honest, I have several things I have to have just so. One...

Some of the greatest memories I have are the frequent camping trips my Dad took us on when we were children. Whether it was the mountains or the lake we spent several days enjoying each other as a family. Long before the days of iPods...
