We recently discovered that there was a skunk living under our neighbors shed, we suspected it last year but could not confirm it. However, last night we had the unfortunate incident of our dog chasing the skunk and the skunk spraying. The dog didn't get hit with the spray but the house was pretty stinky. I will definitely pass on your tips to our neighbor, except perhaps the exlax and the urine. I am not sure how my neighbor would react. Thanks for sharing your experience, not only did I get useful information but I was definitely amused!
As St. Louis locals who live a few blocks from Busch Stadium, my girlfriend and I frequently go to Cardinals games. The tickets can be a little pricey at times--even for what would usually be considered cheap seats--but we usually keep an eye on StubHub and buy only when we can find a good deal. By doing that we can save money with out sacrificing quality.
Every year people steal pomegranates from our tree in the front yard. What I have done to discourage this is to write "Please do not steal" in a thick Sharpie on all of the almost ripe and ripe fruit within reach. That actually seems to work pretty well. We don't lose nearly as many.
I started doing some shopping at Aldi a year ago. Thrilled to find a bag of salad for 99 cents! Never went back again when my daughter found a dead fly in that 99 cent bag of salad! Yuck!
As a HUGE baseball fan, I am fortunate enough to live a little over an hour from Pittsburgh...yet only 45 minutes from Altoona.
The difference? Big money...I can head to Altoona and catch a minor league (AA) baseball game for a fraction of the price! It is great that they happen to be a minor league affiliate for the Pirates, but it is professional baseball...and a great environment.
i'm addicted to these shows....and it always makes me feel like 'spring cleaning' every time i watch it. i make sure to donate, give to friends, or yard sale my unwanted's regularly. and i don't think i will ever own a cat.
Taking surveys is one of my extra income online. I know their are more ways to make money online and offline. More people today are looking for fast cash but the sad thing about it, it will not replaced our daily job.
Great article. I agree that what we own reflects who we are. Maybe the road to more balanced consumerism is to choose possessions that reflect our priorities?
In general, no. Our household is not into sports. Our area does not even have a football team or anything other than a minor league baseball team . I guess we could watch automotive racing but other than that college football is as good as it gets here.
I love going to baseball games. Instead of going to major league games we often go to minor league games. Great fun for kids and the tickets are only $8. You'd be suprised at how nice some of the ball parks are. We love the Toledo MudHens!!
We rarely go to professional sporting events, due to the cost. When my sons were younger, we'd go with Scouts or their sports teams when cheap group packages were available. When they were in high school, we attended the high school events, including the Championship games. Sometimes the boys are invited to go with friends when their families have extra tickets, but otherwise we just don't do this.

Once a year, local minor league ballbark 9 bucks a ticket.
We do not attend sporting events because we are not sports fans.

It's definitely more fun to be at the game with all the other fans!
That's the best way to go!
I was very happy the Thunder beat the Mavs. I hope you got to go to a game! :)

All good ideas. I am amazed at people who, possessing many of the skills needed to generate passive income, still choose not to.

My husband and I often go to sporting events. I enjoy watching them in person much more than on the television.
Excellent. Unfortunately hoarders will never understand real freedom.

Never pay full price for anything. Shop in the clearance racks and always have coupons on you when you go in a store!

I sometimes attend local sporting events and have attended college games and sporting events out of the area on occasion.
