    ATTN: Military Members (Active and Retired)

    This was shaping up to be a great deal for my South Carolina spring break trip...until I got to the booking section and the fees were greater than the room cost. :mad:

    Pensacola, Florida...Tell me all..The good, the bad and the ugly

    I lived in Charlotte for 364 days in 2001. Absolutely HATED it. I live in a big city now. Major sports teams, museums, malls, markets, the whole sha-bang. I've also lived in small towns. I like both. Maybe this is a mid-size town?

    Pensacola, Florida...Tell me all..The good, the bad and the ugly

    2013 Destash- this is the year!

    My biggest downfall is holding on to "good" stuff that I'm either going to put on Craig's List or put in a yard sale. and of course, I never get around to either. I spent 16 hours working in the basement over the weekend. I managed to purge 2 of the 6 rooms. I'm very proud of myself! Took...

    Best drops for dry eye?

    I have very severe dry eye. The prescription didn't work for me. I use the Genteal gel in my eyes at bedtime. Its kinda like putting vasoline in your eye. In the morning before I even get out of the bed I use the Genteal moderate to severe eye drops. I drop those in and moosh everything around a...

    2013 Spending Challenge - Work Lunches/Snacks

    I get a 16oz soda from the vending machine at work every afternoon. Its $1.25. Kroger had soda on sale last week 6 24oz bottles for $2.50! Huge difference. I stocked up on a 6 week supply and marked them "for work only" so everyone doesn't start grabbing them. I already take my lunch most...

    Car Insurance Increased, Need Recommendations!

    We've had Geico for over 20 years. We currently have 3 cars on the policy--one new, one new-ish and a 2003. Its about $100 per month. Service has always been excellent--hence the 20+ years of staying with them. Although I did recently sit down and figure out that I have paid them well over...

    2013 Destash- this is the year!

    I was just telling my hubby that I could fill a huge dumpster with junk. about four years ago we had to start over with basically nothing, so I took anything and everything that folks gave to us. Now, the house is bursting at the seams. I need to start going through everything. In my town...

    Ever get a gift that made you a teensy bit mad?

    ARG! My in-laws have pictures all over their home of their other son and his wife and kids. EVERYWHERE! There is not one photo of any of us. Not one of my hubs in his Navy uniform, no pics of my kids. Certainly none of me--not even hidden by a teddy bear! I've put up with this kinda stuff...

    Ever get a gift that made you a teensy bit mad?

    My 78 y/o blind mum gave us $60 in scratch off lottery tickets. That is 10% of her monthly income! I know that she meant well and had dreams of us winning the grand prize of 100K a year for 30years, but I would have been extremely thrilled with the choco fudge that she makes for me every...

    Where are you going for spring break? (Besides Disney!)

    Trying to decide between a trip to Pensacola, FL for a few days sunning and then to New Orleans for a few days of playing. Its a choice between that and a Williamsburg/Washington DC trip. the kids want to go back to Gatlingburg, but that is so darned expensive, I'd rather go to Disney...

    I love it so I'm now giving it for Christmas!

    I'm giving all my polish-wearing-peeps Essie First Base Coat for Christmas. I do my nails on Sunday night and don't have to worry about them for most of the week. Might need a little touch-up on Friday, but nothing major. This stuff is completely amazing! LOVE IT! :lovestruc( I work in a machine...

    Happy find at the thrift shop!!!

    According to my son, you don't want to get close enough to a zombie to bash in his skull. I picked up two brand new pairs of jeans today at the thrift for $10. Which was great because I had no jeans at all and its gettin' cold!
