I love it! I'm definitely a "leave some slack" type of person. I just underspend. I combined the plans a little when I was working by having $500 of my paycheck automatically go into savings. Then I underspent what was left.
I didn't have a plan for that money, but at least I was saving. Then, lo and behold! Bad economy and suddenly I had a use for my savings. ;)
I am in the market for 2004 - 2007 used Toyotas and I don't find their price any less than the other brands. I thought of these models for exactly the recall reason but I don't find any :(
Just in case anyone wondering where I live thats 10530.
Mort = death; gage = grip! Peace of mind! Now that's a tuff one to put a dollar value on! I 'decided' to pay my mortgage OFF and since 2007, I have built a comfortable emergency fund; are maxing out on my IRA & wife's 401(k) account; have no 'debt'; opened a business that is also 'debt free' & business is slow and given the financial situation our nation is under . . . . . I'm sure we all saw it coming - ha! ha! Peace of mind . . . . . no need to put a dollar value on it! It's priceless!
As for splinters, *sigh* long chicken bones aren't appropriate for gulpers. We insured our dog chewed everything correctly as we introduced each new item, and checked her stools. There is never a bone fragment larger than the head of a pin. It's just not an issue.
I have fed standard kibble, "the good stuff," homemade mixes like Lindsey's, commercial processed raw, home-processed raw, and finally, raw whole meat/bone chunks, pig feet, poultry necks, etc., with the occasional veggie (squash is a favorite), eggs with the shell, fish scraps and a fish oil supplement. I will *never* go back to including any quantity of grain-based food.
Here's the primary role of grain in a dog's diet: creating large, soft stools with the typical nauseating "dog poop" odor. The bone content of a raw-fed dog's diet naturally deodorizes the stools and makes them smaller, firmer, and easy to clean up.
A secondary role for grain - which is never a significant part of a wild carnivore's diet - is promoting cancer. Know what happens when your kibble-fed dog is diagnosed? They try to sell you a meat-based canned food - more expensive than raw meat and bones, by the way - that has been shown not to promote cancer growth, UNLIKE grain-based kibble. Anyone who has fed the same dog both diets knows a raw-fed dog is shinier, more energetic, and of perfect weight.
Forty thousand years is not enough for an obligate carnivore to evolve into the semi-herbivorous diet we now feed them.
Don't feed grain. Feed less bulk, and feed raw whole meaty bones. Tonging a couple of chicken pieces from the designated tub in the fridge is much easier than making and portioning a crockpot of wet food, and cheaper than a quality kibble. Large knuckle bones will keep the dog occupied for hours and clean its teeth (our dog has no tartar or other dental problems, ever, and goes to the vet only for checkups). Our dog is trained to eat messy bits on a tray, so we don't worry about spreading germs.
Whoever said their vet claims bones are harder than teeth? Get a new vet pronto.
Sonja, try making a plain GF bread with caraway seed mixed in and a sprinkle of salt on top as a substitute for rye in reubens. A gluten-free sourdough starter is nice.
You make a mistake, you fix it- this is what Toyota is doing and we can expect no more- and shouldn't have to expect less! My little Toyota Echo has 130,000 miles on it, gets 35 mpg and has never given me a moment of trouble. I take care of the routine maintenance but other than that it gets no special attention. My goal is to drive it to 200,000 miles then buy another Toyota.
There have been 19 Toyota accelerator deaths over 5 years. This is out of appx 170,000 highway deaths in the US.
If we listed the leading causes of highway deaths, Toyota accelerator problems would be maybe #200 on the list. Probably way below etched headlight lenses and worn wiper blades and broken mirror.
But the press and the masses love a story. So we have congressional hearings and stories about the story and how everyone is reacting to stories about the story.
We have "shark attack" hysteria (Another danger that affects less than one in a million.) Nobody cares about the things that are 100 times more likely to kill you if it's not a feel-good story.
I remember Intel's "flawed pentium" chip in 1994. It actually mattered to less than one in a million people, but everybody felt and talked like the sky was falling.
Toyota will fix their mistake, and we should just move on to bigger issues.
I received netSpend VISA debit card that never was ordered--never even heard of 'netSpend'; the card bears a first name of whom I never knew with my legal last name; an individual with the name bears on this card used this name to order "Voice Mail" box from my telephone company and I was charged for it.
Has this happened to any of you? It took me 5 solid months to get my charges reversed!
As far as I know, Chocomize was the first company to offer custom chocolate bars and they are not connected to choci. It's too late to order for Valentines Day with choci, but on Chocomize's homepage it says that you can place orders until the 10th for V day. I'm getting some for my bf :-]
I recently started attempting a gluten free lifestyle, not because of a diagnosed allergy, but because when I stop eating gluten as part of the first couple weeks of the South Beach Diet I felt GREAT!!!

I have a 2007 Prius that is wonderful! I've driven across the U.S. twice in this car and no problems whatsoever. Great mileage - 45 mpg in the winter and 55 mpg in the summer. Plus commuting to work everyday - it's a dream.
Let the hype subside and tweaks done to affected cars. Every American-made car I've ever had has been nothing but trouble. My husband even found out from several mechanics that his Pontiac Aztec's transmission is made to fail every 90,000 miles. How about that for trust?
in the context of craigslist, i use a site called allofcraigs.com, which is the fastest way to search the entire craigslist site to locate hard-to-find items.
no one mentioned big heavy items such as refrigs ovens/stoves, microwaves
does anyone have any suggestions
thanks
please email and post on your site if possible.
Very timely and informative post. I think that more people should consider starting their own business instead of relocating. The internet now makes it possible to pursue your business idea with a lot less capitol, depending on what you want to do.
I think people who want to get it paid off are just too rushed. It's a long term loan for a reason. Just pay off all your other debts and relax. It's tough to follow but makes sense.

It made me click the article and read it. It's seriously amazing what we can do nowadays.

Maybe he's English, dude. They spell practice practise in England. Favor is favour. License is licence.

If you're going to suggest seaweed, you shouldn't leave it so open.
There are tons of kinds, and with plenty of different flavors. :/

I like the fact that any extra payment on my mortgage is worth 3x what I'm paying.
The house over 30 years cost triple at 6%.
oh...i am a wanderlust single mom and know EXACTLY how you feel!

for a car at the moment but tbh with all this bad press and issues I wouldn't look into buying one if I was. Sorry Toyota. I like Hondas!

That wet electronics one could be extremely useful. I once dropped an iPod Nano into a half cup of water and it was fine. Go Apple!
