budget busters...patch those holes! =) sm

In Reply to: Anyone else have holes in their pockets? It seems like I can't make enough - workinMT

No, you are NOT the only one...our pockets don't just have holes...
rising costs are ripping GAPING TEARS in our pockets =) But the fact that you're aware of it is a good thing...because you have the ability to mend those tears. I don't know if you use a budget, but if you don't it might help to create one. Having a financial plan and a budget are the "needle and thread" you need to keep your pockets full. (and I bet a LOT of people are just going into more debt rather than adjusting their spending to put a patch on those soaring fuel and food prices.) So...grab your needle and thread...and Happy Sewing...anyone for a Quilting Bee?! =)

If verbatim, would go with nitro patch. If not, then nitroglycerine patch nm

You get what you pay for, budget prices=budget training
At least that is what it looks like to me.
First holes age 10, second age 16 sm
I told her she needed to be old enough to take care of them, keep them clean when she had them done the first time.
Wow, Aeron is $$$$. I googled, and I think that one is way out of my budget.
It looks like a great chair, tho.
Sink holes
Thank you for your response. My daughter is concerned cause not only because of the hole my grandson fell in, but also a large area in front of her detached garage has sunk a good bit. She is afraid if someone comes out they may deem the property unstable and have to leave. What do people do, particularly if they carry a mortgage. Homeowners insurance usually covers the structure and not the ground it sits on.
sink holes
We had a cistern open up in our backyard from alot of rain one year. It was an old well that had been covered up. Had no idea it was there
My mom did the same thing, except it was her 1st holes - sm
I got my second holes when I was 17 in college, then over the years my mom went and got 2nds, then 3rds, and wore ear cuffs too. My mom was quite a character.
Not on my budget. I usually can find something on if I am dying to watch T.V.

desk clerk at a low-budget hotel -
I called in sick with the flu, and that night the place was robbed at gunpoint.  I had never been so happy to be sick!
I was at first, but we're on a budget plan so I know how much we have to pay each month.

I so badly need a vacation. And one simply isn't in the budget.
But you know, having travelled far and wide with a man who could take me places, I did learn it isn't where you go, it is who you go with....

Yes, would love to meet, date, fall in love with and marry a rich fellow. Having a two income household would be a welcome change if the guy was the Mr. Right.
They are trying desperately to balance their runaway budget
Have you heard about the new naturalization process aimed at 11 million illegals in the country... along with some hoops to jump through (Learning English - ???) etc., they must pay 2000 dollars.

Do the math 11 million x 2000
its not a lot but its something
Sage advice. IT isn't priced out of the budget.
Thanks!
patch
Thanks, will do that, have some left over from last time we tried to stop. It worked for my husband but not for me, but I am determined to stop now.
The patch is here...>>>>>

Opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one. (nm)


It has been 10 years since my mom's sink holes
she had to sell it to a horse breeder/stable instead of dividing it into tracks and selling individual home sites due to the sink holes. Fortunately they were several acres away from any structures and have not recurred in the last 10 years. One parcel has recently been sold near the first one that opened. That neighbor happens to be on the county commission and resides over the real estate zonings and gave permission for the new owner to be a home she felt would "blend" with her homes and golf course. I would certainly have someone look into it as there you don't know what is happening underground.
Anyone else have holes in their pockets? It seems like I can't make enough
money anymore to keep bills paid up.  Am I the only one in this shape, sometimes it feels like it.
On this tight budget, I do not have cable. What is the latest on Katrina?
The message boards have disintegrated into name calling and absurdity.  My local stations are not running any news.  What is going on down in New Orleans?  It is 5:41 PST here and I have just read on a message board they are predicting 10,000 deaths?  Surely this is not so

I used the nicotine patch -
the last time, my third (and final) quit, in November 1999. Before that I quit 2 other times, the longest was for 4 years, first time cold turkey, second time hypnosis.

My husband, age 61, smoked ever since he was 14 years old and never, ever even tried to quit. Six months ago, he quit cold turkey. Everyone is amazed.
No patch needed (sm)

When you save your document, save as a word 93-2003 document (.doc) rather than a 2007 document (.docx).  You can change it in your defaults.  Anyone with those prior versions can then open your documents without having to download anything.  :)


 


Anyone ever have problems with sink holes in your yard?
My grandson was just walking across the yard and his foot gave way and went down to his waist. There are other areas, some large where the ground appears to have sunk somewhat. They live in southeast georgia. If you have experienced this, please share.
I think she was 9 or 10, and I got my second holes put in at the same time. Bonding experience! :)

I've worn holes in my keys.

I found a keyboard that I liked and kept it until I was forced to trash it. Who needs letters anyway? 


Climara low dose patch
The night sweats or hot flashes as they call them disturbed my sleep to the point I was useless during the day time.

I concluded that I would take these hormones as I simply had to work at top performance at my job and get things done around the house as well.

I'll deal with the "change" when I am retired and can walk around like a zombie. For now, I have to consider quality of life.

I tried several before Climara and though it is not on my formulary (50.00/month), I take it to live normally.

Now I realize why women my age sometimes can look ravaged.
Birth control patch...

I can't use birth control patches because I have migraines.  My doctor will only let me use certain birth control pills, and doesn't really want me using them, but anyway.....


When I worked in-house, patients seemed to like the patch.  I do know that the OB/GYN I worked for would not give the patch to overweight women because he said it was not as effective.  I would love to be able to use it, as I have trouble remembering to take my pills.


Anyone use the birth control patch?
Just researching a bit.  Do you like it?  Dislike it?  Any other info?  Thanks!
There is a patch to help eliminate those problems you
are experiencing with IE7.0.  Do you want a link to it?  Solved my IE7 problem, but then again, I rarely uses IE, but a different tabbed browser.
Why do you need a patch for express scribe? sm
I have Vista Home Ultimate and Express Scribe V 4.17 and have no problems whatsoever with the software at all.

As a matter of fact, I have had very few compatibility issues with Vista and ANY software I have tried to use -- except Transnet.
Microsoft has a patch for the browser
