Freaky Frugalite

Went to Lowe’s and Home Depot today, to look at prices for countertops. I have been entertaining this delightfully fanciful idea that I might buy solid surfacing countertops if the price is right, OR perhaps get laminate countertops and have them INSTALLED. It would be kind of nice NOT to be a DIY’er for that… […]

Creepy. 😮 Seven People Have Been Entrusted With the Keys to the Internet, says BBC and Gizmodo. Apparently, seven people from seven different countries have been endowed with Smart Cards. These Smart Cards are the “keys” to the Internet. If anything “catastrophic” happens to the Internet, these Lords of the Cards get together to a […]

The Hubs works part time at a grocery store. On occasion, I ask him to bring home boxes. We are undergoing renovation on the house, so good, thick, boxes are desperately needed. You’d think that The Hubs would be able to grab the choiciest, choosiest, hardiest, bestest boxes, wouldn’t you? Nope. Boxes are LOUSY, people. […]

Would you pay hundreds of dollars for a watch? A really, really cool watch? One that looks like something Dick Tracey wears (actually, even better than what Dick Tracey wears)?

More Chuck Norris posters! Wooooo!! (This post is brought to you by your friends at CafePress.com. ) This one made me laugh. “One’s tough, one’s smart,” huh?

I mentioned earlier that I *finally* got an eye exam, after 6, 7 years. I need new glasses. I have to go through the rigamarole of insurance company’s musical chairs (they will pay for an exam here, eyeglasses there, but not an exam AND eyeglasses anywhere) or pay $250+ cash out-of-pocket. Ouch. I’ve heard so […]

Last year on this day, I posted for Yogi Berra Appreciation Day. Here we are again, a whole ‘nother year later! Woohoo! In case you didn’t know, Yogi Berra was a baseball player. His real name is Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra. He was born in 1925. He played as catcher for the New York Yankees. […]

Oh this is so adorable! He looks like he is having the time of his life. LOL Hat tip Sparkle. By the way, is that critter their pet?! :blink:

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Zenni Optical. All opinions are 100% mine. I went to the eye doctor last week. My main purpose was to get a new pair of prescription eyeglasses. I’ve had my current ones for about 6 years now, and they are all beat up and […]

Slavery in America is all over, right? No more slavery! The Emancipation Proclamation, right? Civil Rights and Martin Luther King, Jr., right? Well, racial slavery is ended. But did you know that the United States is a MAJOR breeding ground for sex slavery? The statistics are disgusting. It is estimated that there are 12.3 million […]
