  Frugal “Duh” Tip of the Day: Baby Gate Drying Rack frugality, tips | (1)

  If you need, but don't have, a drying rack for sweaters, but do have an old baby gate, balance the gate across two chairs and lay the sweater on that. Brought to you by a difficult sweater and my own personal "duh" moment.

  The Digital Television Transition and You entertaining, frugality, gadgets, how-to, life hacking, lifestyle, personal finance, simplicity, wealth | (0)

  A number of months ago, I started hearing murmurs about some digital transition... thingy. I did some research, and marveled at the generalized lack of information on the internet. Then I remembered I'm a blogger. I decided to make some information on the Digital Television Transition. And I figured out why there isn't a whole lot of commentary on this upcoming event: for whatever reason, it's damned hard to write an article about this stuff. So I took the lazy way out and created a FAQ. If I missed something, you know the drill. What is the Digital Television Transition? In 1996, Congress ...

The extent of our overload came to a head about two months ago when, due to two torn tendons in my ankle, I became suddenly much less mobile (and unable to drive). Over the course of the positively dreadful week immediately following my injury, we ...

  I received some wonderful news today - my former boss was promoted to a position that he has worked long and hard to achieve. It's a big milestone for him, and will do wonderful things for the organization. Although I had an inkling that this was coming, I was surprised at the onslaught of emotions that hit when I read the message. It was almost like one of those "life flashing before your eyes" moments, but without the pesky near-death experience. In a flash, I remembered the stress from that job and commute, imagined how crazy ...

  Cereal Killers: The Incredible Crock of Things You Don’t Need domestic science, frugality, health and fitness | (3)

  This weekend, I treated myself to a box of cereal. (I am a hardcore cereal lover. I would eat cereal for almost every meal if I could, but that would be unhealthy and expensive. Instead, it's a once-in-a-while treat.) As I crunched away on my flakes, I studied the back of the box, and found one of the most ridiculous examples of "you don't need it, but we'll sell it to you anyway" that I've seen in quite some time. The Special K Challenge, as I remember it (from my days of regular cereal consumption) went a ...
