MrsBucket1 I agree that many health issues can resolved through better eating habits. My doctor (who is very involved in preventive medicine through nutrition) recommended that when we grocery shop, we shop just the perimeter of the store. If you think about it, once...

I have recently started the South Beach Diet and absolutely love it. It is so healthy for me and for my family. They often don't realize how healthy they are eating now! Does anyone have any good recipes that fall under either...

What difference does it make if you're going to buy a good quality product with less price than buying an over expensive product that does the same? What is your point of view on this one?

branded products expensive cheap price

MrsBucket1 I don't buy fake because if I don't really care about the label. If it happens that the label is better, I will buy it (if it's reasonably priced), but I don't buy it for the label.

MrsBucket1 You may want to first verify in your state/area that it is legal for them to bill you for water (whether you can use it or not). Some states, but not all, require that the landlord pay for the water bill and the tenant is usually responsible for the other...

MrsBucket1 I would say the best advice I can give is to keep it simple. Don't let it stress you out! It is your day and you should enjoy it, not have to be freaking out because some little detail went wrong. If you can't afford a planner, enlist your friends to help...

I bought a new and expensive kind of electric drill. I haven't even taken it off from the box when my neighbor borrowed it saying it's just something urgent. So I lend it to him. After a few hours he returned it and said "I'm...

MrsBucket1 I agree that he should pay for it. But unless you can tell him so he likely wont offer. I borrowed an inexpensive tool once and broke it. So then I went out and bought two of the same tool and gave one to the neighbor I had borrowed from and kept one for...

MrsBucket1 If the quality is exactly the same, it's ridiculous to buy branded products just for the label. There is a demographic out there that thinks the label is the most important thing. And I have bought my share of labels. I have learned the expensive way that...

What if everyone could only live up to the age of 40, and to move on to the next world, i.e. a paralell universe you had to die on your 40th birthday, so that you could start all over again for your next life. There's another...

MrsBucket1 So are you saying that I would know in my new life what I know now? I guess that would be a little weird to be very young and have the wisdom of a 40-year-old. But it would keep me from making some really stupid mistakes that I made the first time around....

MrsBucket1 Interestingly, while we do not baby our son (18), his sister (16) does. However, he does know how to do laundry and clean the house. We are blessed that he is showing responsibility in his college years. He worked for two years before college and saved a...

MrsBucket1 Thanks for that information. I am new to MyLot and really don't expect to make my fortune here but sometimes it's nice to discuss things you are interested in with like-minded people. And it's also a good way to hear other people's perspectives. My job is...

When I first started reading this book I thought I would never get through it and/or understand it. The first two chapters are very deep and very philosophical. However, once I got past this point, I learned so much about what...

MrsBucket1 It depends on what you're looking for in reading. His books vary so much in content and style. But are always spellbinding. The Screwtape Letters is hard for me to get through. Probably the best just because of its overall appeal to so many audiences is...

MrsBucket1 Having been in London during the time of Diana and Fergie, and previous to Diana's death, I am not sure I would want to marry a royal or anyone as much in the limelight as they are. It would be hard to turn my back on someone I truly loved, but I know that I...

MrsBucket1 My first job was scooping ice cream in an old-fashioned ice cream parlor. It's not as long ago as it sounds! As a matter of fact, the store still exists, with some new updates. At any rate, while it didn't pay much, it taught me about working with the...
