Some of you may have been wondering where I have been. A lot has been happening in my life as of late:
I had been sick with the flu, and then it just wanted to hang onto me with fatigue for days afterward. Not good. It hurt my legs just walking the same 2.5 miles that [...]

I was curious as to how many of you pick up returnables when you notice them when you are out and about.
If so, what do you use the funds for?

The Government May Owe You Money

I visited the site recently, and was shocked to see that I had a claim available to me. It isn’t a large amount of money, but it is mine. It is between $25.00 and $100.00, [...]

My daughter just got back from [...]

Okay, so…honesty is a virtue. Right? So, to blog about something like one’s income is not easy, but it is honest and to the point. It is hard to come on here and say that things are not going well, but they are not. What I am getting at?
