Freaky Frugalite

I was zipping around town Saturday. I live near a city in Upstate New York, and I see my share of crazy drivers. But the one who hounded me Saturday just took the cake. They were zig-zagging in and out of a two-lane road, driving like something out of a Need For Speed Playstation game. [...]

Europeans are much more advanced that North America, when it comes to innovation in energy and home building. This is due to their scarcity of natural resources and geographic space.

I’m just wasting time (a rare thing with me, really), and did a quick little quiz. “How Creative Are You?” Hmm this is what I got. You Are 94% Creative You are an incredibly creative person.

But getting away has proved to be difficult. It’s been a very long time since I traveled south (or outside of [...]

My eldest daughter graduates in a few weeks. She’s been “homeschooled” her entire life. I guess this officially makes me a veteran homeschooler! Wow, that time went fast. :| Only three more to go… Some folks ask me about our schooling techniques, etc. Of all the blogging I do, I really don’t blog much about [...]

Eh, I’m just a wee chatty tonight. I joined a health club today. It’s a big deal for me. The cost is so low my jaw dropped and I wondered why I haven’t done this before ($10 a month). Because of my back injury, I’m supposed to keep my abdominal muscles in shape. I haven’t [...]
