    What would you pay for charity?

    To answer your original question, the cost of the T-shirt is too high whether proceeds benefit a charity or not. The least questionable way to raise funds to benefit this organization is to utilize the fundraising link they provide you so that donors are acknowledged and receive the appropriate...

    Crocs President's Day sale - hurry!

    I was able to order two pairs of Crocs last night, too! They were already on sale and the extra 25% off plus free shipping was too good to resist. Besides, I had to do something to occupy my time between the end of Olympic coverage and the "new" Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Thanks for the tip!

    Crazy prices for appliance parts

    Crazy, isn't it! Our washing machine died last week. Diagnosis was failed rear bearing, which necessitated replacing not only that part but also the inner and outer tubs. Parts cost alone was $702. We bought a new washer for $629.

    Best Amtrak Fare????

    So long as you are at the station before the train departs, you are there in time. Although I have never traveled to Chicago via Amtrak, I have traveled the northeast corridor and have never even had to show a ticket, much less ID before boarding a train. Just stand on the platform and get on...

    Perfume allergies in the workplace

    My employer required a scent free environment for a co worker who alleged she had a fragrance sensitivity. Had I believed her, I would have willingly supported her position. But the scent of others at bars and nightclubs did not seem to impact her, just those of us engaging in good hygiene...

    Big tree branch breaks off & lands on roof ---

    Homeowners insurance would only be applicable if the reason the limb fell was a covered peril. Why did it fall - was it during a storm, or was it just a dead limb that fell, etc?

    Pampered chef broken stone...

    I had a baking stone in the oven cooking a pizza and it shattered into about a bazillion pieces. Pampered Chef (the consultant who sold it to me and corporate) declined to take any action despite it being used as intended. It was only a couple years old, but I didn't have my receipt. The...

    My son got a raise!

    My son started a job at a local restaurant that opened in late January. He's been trained to do most everything from prep, to cooking, to serving, bussing, washing dishes and running the game room. He got a $1 raise this week - pretty good for only a couple months, I thought.

    Monkey bread,....the night before

    Tried it for the first time this year. Made it in the pan last night & poured the butter over this morning then baked. It came out pretty dry. It did sit in the turned off oven for an extra 20 minutes or so while we finished opening gifts so maybe that was the problem.

    Brownies - Do they freeze well?

    Sorry, but I wouldn't know. They never last long enough to make it to any kind of storage around my house - LOL!:rotfl:

    Halloween party meal?????

    I know it's corny, but since my kids were little (the youngest is now in college) we always have Halloweenies (hot dogs) on Halloween. Easy sides would be baked beans, slaw or salad.

    how would you handle?

    Seems like there is more than one issue going on here....you were hired to work two days per week, but now are complaining that you have bills to pay despite working 45 hours per week....seems like being asked to work more than two days is a moot point if you need the money for 45 hours worth of...

    Progressive Lenses Questions

    I just got progressive lenses at Costco. With the $59 frames I picked and the whatever it is to make the lens the thinnest, it cost less than $150. Mine are really great & not to difficult to get used to. I can definitely see much better for reading. I primarily wear contact lenses, but my...

    not sure where to ask this...

    Why would you assume that the OP is not going to clean up her own "mess" from using a grill? How is her "stinky" food any worse than the smell of cigarette or cigar smoke that might be offensive to others?

    Marching band at MK, staying offsite-do they include meal vouchers?

    Our son's band went this past spring. Their trip did not include meal vouchers for the park, but what we paid included each student being given $20 cash for each day each morning by the chaperone. So, even if no voucher, you should check to see if the meal cost is included somehow.

    Don't forget your free Oreos!

    Did you click the "like" button at the top first? Then you get the coupon. Mine printed fine after that, but I was trying to print before actually getting the coupon with the print button.
