I don't think it would be considered mooching if I became a slave-driver and said "no work = no food". They already know they are welcome to come, but they need to expect to help out if everyone wants fed!

I am one of those who don't believe in global warming. Yes pollution is bad and we should cut emissions. If you look at historical data the Earth goes through heating and cooling trends. It takes place over decades, in 50 years we will be concerned with global cooling thinking we cut back on...

When we bought our house it came with a 25 year old gas range. We are going to replace it in the near future because the top is starting to come apart at the seams!

My grocery list is pretty consistent. It isn't that hard to keep track in my head whether something is the same price or not. I also work within a 5 cent acceptability range. I can remember what the price of beans were last month, but I couldn't tell ya what you just said 10 min. ago. My brainn...

I have been to the point where my grocery budget for the family was $25 a week for the 4 of us. Now I am glad to be able to spend more. I only buy organic or from the farmers market, and make sure that the food doesn't have a lot of corn syrup and junk. Right now I spend $100-$150 a week on...

Thank you for the information. I printed in it and stuck it in my mortgage file, just in case It is ever needed.

DH and I run all the finances together. We sit down weekly and figure out how much money we have and what bills need paid. I write the checks, and he pays the online stuff. The only inequality we have is that his hobby (guns) is more expensive than mine (peace and quiet).

My boys (8&4) know that money doesn't grow on trees. The oldest knows if he wants something expensive it is a Birthday/Christmas present. He also knows that clothes are just there to keep you warm, and they don't need to be expensive. He goes to a school that requires uniforms so my back to...
