A few months ago I had a minor fender bender, which involved only me and my broken bumper, which is not a story I’d like to share. Not a big deal except that I just bought the car (a very cute Pontiac G6 with a sunroof) in February 2008 and the bumper had a long [...]
I read this article today, (via Twitter) about how much it costs to raise a child as a single parent. The title of course declares that “Single Parents Aren’t Earning Enough” to which I replied (mentally) “Really?

Once in a while I collect most [...]
I read an article today and last week and last month about what a waste of money bottled water is and I wondered if maybe I haven’t cut my expenses as much as I thought.
Sorry, but I like bottled water. I don’t drink water from the tap, and these articles aren’t taking into consideration the [...]
Well the apartment complex where I had applied for resident manager notified me that they were only 1 bedroom apartments, which i know beyond a shadow of doubt will not work for me and my daughter and all of our accumulated crap. I thanked them kindly for their time and told them it wouldn’t work. [...]
