The Mister has just gone round to pick my Mom up

Traceyjayne @Traceyjayne (7402) • United Kingdom 23 Jan

The Mister has just gone round to pick my Mom up as I asked her to come round for a cup of tea and some cake. We always have tea with her on a Friday anyway, sometimes we have a take away and sometimes we go out. Tonight we are...

Melanie Marie Well, that sounds nice. I also appreciate the fact that you refer to your husband as The Mister. It’s creative, different, and cool. When I see someone call their husband “hubby” or even worse, “hubs” I actually cringe and feel like throwing up. Hope you guys...

Wheee! I paid off my credit card today. Have you ever paid "interest" on a credit card?

The Horse @TheHorse (234425) • Walnut Creek, California 14 Jan

I understand that credit card companies make money by charging their customers "interest" if they do not pay off their credit card bill every month. They are basically loaning people money at a pretty high interest rate. I have...

Melanie Marie I have two (secured) credit cards, and I pay them off in full every month. The credit union is helping me get my credit up, and the 2 secured credit cards are all part of the plan. It’s working.

I got eggs for 2.15 today woohoo!

snowy @snowy22315 (202196) • United States 14 Jan

Remember not long ago they were 4 or 5 dollars a dozen? I hope those days are gone never to return. However, with the next bird flu or some such, all bets are off.

Melanie Marie That’s a pretty good deal, snowy. Last time I saw eggs at that price, it was just a 6-pack of them @ Walmart.

What small thing would save you money if you got free?

Amber @AmbiePam (111674) • United States 11 Jan

A lot of things don’t cost much, but when you buy so much of them, they start to add up. Is there anything that seems like an insignificant cost, but when you start to think of it, you realize you could really use getting a few of...

I almost ran over someone's iphone today.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (54125) 11 Jan

Today I had to go to the pharmacy to get a refill on one of son's prescriptions. It's snowy out there, and it was busy, so I parked at the end of the row closest to the door in the last spot available there. When I got out and...

Melanie Marie I almost ran over a person today. I forgot to take my glasses so I couldn’t see much, but still made it to the store and back. I did not go back to see if I hit the person. My mom yelled at me for that. But I needed to record something on TV. I’ll bet that...

How often do you check your bank balance?

snowy @snowy22315 (202196) • United States 17 Dec

I don't mean the mylot bank, but the real bank. I would say I check mine every 3 or 4 days to make sure nothing fishy is going on. I also check when I know deposits are going in. I check paypal though typically every other day or...

Loving My New PC setup!

Baconstripsxxx @BACONSTRIPSXXX (16883) • Torrington, Connecticut 16 Dec

What's the BEST Christmas song according to you?

Rimps @Rimps85 (2956) • India 17 Dec

For me, the best Christmas song ever is "Last Christmas, I gave you my heart" by Wham that was released officially in 1984, thereafter in early 2000s there was an animated video that was created...I think its an evergreen...

Melanie Marie That’s a good one. My fave is one that’s not too popular these days, I’m lucky if I hear it once on the radio amongst all the others they play throughout December. “ Take back the hollyyyyy and mistletoe Silver bells on string … If I wrote a letter To Santa...

Here Comes Santa Claus

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (93635) • Daytona Beach, Florida 17 Dec

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126161) • United States 17 Dec

Melanie Marie When you wake up from a nap around that time, the darkness is what throws ya off because it’s still dark in the early morn, and at night, and your mind is all kinds of confused I took a nap today from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Looked at my...

What do you know about pawn shops?

Amber @AmbiePam (111674) • United States 17 Dec

Can you tell me what you know about them? I’ve never set foot in one, and if I did pawn something I wouldn’t be trying to get it back. Have any of you ever used them?

Melanie Marie I hang out at one pawn shop, it’s in a shady part of town and that’s probably what lured me there in the first place. My engagement ring is there, and I have to go in every few months to pay a couple bucks so they don’t sell it. I got to know one of the...

Where do you NOT like going during the Christmas season?

Amber @AmbiePam (111674) • United States 3 Dec

My answer? The post office, which I needed to go to today to mail a package. The line was to the door, and only three of the four windows were open. I was afraid I’d be standing forever, but it just took about 8 minutes (I timed...

Making a Comeback

Amber @AmbiePam (111674) • United States 23 Nov

Is there anything making a comeback that you are happy to see? This crossed my mind when I saw a commercial for the TV show, “Landman”, and saw Demi Moore. I always thought she was so pretty, and I loved her voice. She made a...
