Is a Housekeeper Worth the Money?

Today, as I stumbled through the maze of clothes and toys and various other items belonging to me and my daughter, I became completely exasperated by what a mess the house is. A messy house is gross.

What to Do With Rotten Food and When to Accept Defeat

I Need a Collection and How Walmart Ruined My Legacy

In my lifetime, or at least ever since I started paying attention, people have made money or become rich off of a broad range of items, some being as obvious as rare art found in the attic, others include the man in Kansas that recently sold an unwrapped Nintendo Stadium Game for $41,000.00.

Earthquake in Haiti: How to Help

The news of the recent earthquake in Haiti may not actually move many of us simply because it’s in a different country and we seldom think we can help. We are of course, just pulling ourselves out of our own disastrous recession. Still, the earthquake in Haiti has resulted in what’s estimated at thousands upon [...]
