With all the scare on the news lately about contaminated produce I have been wondering if my quick rince on my produce was good enough. I was thinking about buying one of those sprays but I cant see how they would work any better...

luintaurien I think that you are right. It costs less to eat junk food. Around here all our "fresh" produce is trucked in so it costs more. Allo the packaged stuff is shipped in as well but it costs less to make it in bulk than the fresh produce.

When I was a new mom, I was just like that Luvs ad where the mom is super involved and overly protective. You know the ad that tells you to "get over it and get LUVS!" I was totally that way, at first. And, I guess in some ways, I...

luintaurien I don't think that it would be smart to quit your job. A lot of people tend to spend the money as soon as they get it and then have nothing left after that. The lump sum might be a better option than the payments but even aat that at some point the money will...
