Freaky Frugalite

As I live a scant few hundred miles from New York City, I have been monitoring Hurricane Sandy for a few days now. I probably wouldn’t be so interested but I was scheduled to go down to the city on a business trip Monday… and I was fully intending to go, hurricane or not. I [...]

… and like to eat food (especially local food), I’m giving away tickets to the big Pride of New York Harvest Festival. It’s the biggest food extravaganza of the year, and over 100 local agriculture, winery, and food product companies will be there. It is held at the New York State Fair fairgrounds from November [...]

Oh, Lord. I’ve been reading some of the blogs from folks in Texas (do you have any idea how many bloggers are from Texas?! A lot!) and they are filled with accounts of the state after Hurricane Ike. Oh, Lord! I am so sorry for you folks. I was reading The Homesteading Housewife’s account of [...]

I don’t usually talk politics here on this blog. It’s too stressful. There just aren’t any good statesmen anymore (except Ron Paul! :D). If I think about politics too much, I’ll explode. I have my blood pressure to think about. And what a mess that would make all over the walls, tsk tsk. Anyway, I [...]
