We have lovely palms in our front garden, and we got offered in the region of $1500 if my memory is right. They are the only good think about our front yard so I'm glad we kept them, but it was interesting to know!
wow great post! I love these practical and inexpensive ideas, I have a couple men to buy for and I think this will help alot. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
"Using less doesn't just save money; it's also gentler on the planet. It uses less natural resources to make the stuff, package it, and ship it to you; it exposes you to a smaller dose of the chemicals involved, and dumps less of them into the environment."
On the other hand, making your own beats the pants off commercial detergents (even using smaller quantities) for all of the reasons you listed above.
That's hilarious and not one that I could have brought up. But I'm relatively sure that would be very popular. Not that it ever happens to me of course.
Yes, such slippers exist. I have a pair that are leather on top, and a rubber sole. With the rubber sole, I'm willing to wear them out to the mailbox or garage to grab something quick.
UGG makes a similar pair, but my wife got them at Costco or Sam's Club for about $20. They've lasted 2 years so far.
definitely not the iPhone for my hubster - he loathes all things Apple :) So he just got an HP iPaq instead. Good ol' handheld PC - LOL! But he does love his "toys" and even asked for non-girly fuzzy slippers this year, so everything else is spot on.
When you are jacking, you are only concentrating what you have. Think of it as making Kool-Aid, leaving it out and it dries up. It gets thick; it still has all the sugar, flavour and colour, just in a smaller package of water now. When you jack, you are freezing the water and taking it away. There is nothing deadly in what you made before, so there will be nothing deadly now. It is true; there is some methanol and fusel oils in there, but no more then drinking apple jack to start with. You would have to get really sick from drinking before it would affect you. When you jack, try this, don’t freeze it once and skim it, freeze it and thaw it, then freeze it again before you skim it. If you have ice in your pop and let it melt, it layers, so does jacking. This allows it to separate better.
Aluminum:
Home brew is basically making hoppy tea. That does not hurt you with aluminum. You can boil water all day long. For the most part, you can let fermented beer sit in aluminum with minimal effect to your health (I didn't say any) but when you add a volatile chemical and heat you get a little different effect on aluminum. It will pit the aluminum and dissolve it in whatever you are working with. Guess where it goes? If you simply put aluminum on your skin, it can do odd things, like blacken your shirt on your arm pits. Imagine if you drank it!
I like to watch Survivorman while I pile my bills in a metal trash can and burn them in the living room. I can keep the fire going for hours. I roast whatever small animals I can catch with one peanut butter cup, string and a Macgyver paperclip.
He would possibly enjoy an iPhone, but prefers his Crackberry. And as for guns, knives, wrenches and even Dremels - he has absolutely no interest whatsoever. DIY is not his forte.
Now *me* on the other hand - give me a workshop full of powertools and I'll be so happy :)
Dryer vents dump huge quantities of water vapor into the home. When you go above 50% relative humidity the mold starts to grow. You think paying the extra heating bill is expensive, try mold remediation ($$$). Leaving the oven door open is unnecessary. Your oven vents into the kitchen anyway (the vents at the top). Also buy a space heater with UL certification and a tip sensor. Stay away from the no-name brands. Good luck, and Merry Christmas!
How the **** could they hunt you down if you found money somewhere? It's not like they have a found money radar going, or were watching the place the money was... If nobody is around then nobody knows it waa there etc. They are not out to find you when they don't know their money is in a place that it was found. That is the definition of lost money... not knowing where it is. I think it's stupid to be afraid of large sums of money. Most police departments say to contact them on sums over a certain amount, let's say you found 5 grand in a bag or something. You turn the money in to the cops, if nobody comes looking for it after a certain amount of time you get it back and it's yours. Most drug dealers and the like are not going to go looking at a police depratment for their lost money from a deal gone bad etc. They chalk it up to oh well and move on most of the time. That way, if anyone knew and snitched, they'd just be able to say that person turned it in to the po po's. That would be an end to their search right there more than likely. They are not dumb.
Those gifts above are so nice. Thank you very much for author's work. It is very helpful. I once made digital aubum as gift, I think that a good idea. Make digital album for Christmas gift on http://www.softry.com/reviews/business/174-make-a-digital-album-as-chris... : it need help of a free software named Photo slideshow Builder. We clooect photos from computer and select a beautiful song, make them into video, and then burn it to DVD.
i think this may be a good idea, I learn so much form this article above, so i want to share my ideas with friends.
My sister has an electric kettle that I used many times when I stayed with her a couple of weeks ago. I love it, and I'm going to buy one in the after-Christmas sales.
Go to either Cabella's or Gander Mountain's websites,they have slippers for any man. Last year I bought my hubby a pair of shearling sheep slippers in chocolate brown from Cabella's. He lived in them all last winter and as soon as it turned cold this year he was digging them out!
Another suggestion I have and this maybe just be my hubby, but he will spoil me and the fam but won't spoil himself. So through out the year for birthday, anniv and Christmas I listen to him and he will comment on "toys" he might want. He fishes, loves his Wii, so I am never without ideas. Now, I just have to figure out if he knows that by holding out I will buy him his "toys", so maybe it is me he has trained!!! But I love surprising him!
Freebird, I have to disagree with you on the point of it's not worth your time. I don't think $2000 is a small amount of change and is half a month's salary for me. Facts are facts, though other ones are the more overweight you are the less educated you tend to be, the more conservative you tend to vote and the more you prefer Coke over Pepsi, which if you take just on it's own all sound weird, but it all boils down to the same idea of education and poverty being tied together (though now I am sure that I am going to be attacked for calling conservatives less intelligent, but remember that liberals are called elitists and it will make sense). Bad food is just cheaper to buy because the costs to the producer are lower due to subsidies, same thing with meat, the only reason Americans can afford their fascination with meat is due to the subsidies given to the farmers to keep costs down, which in most cases leads to a diet higher in fat, because as we all know, lean meats cost more.
There are people who go so far as to dumpster dive for every meal, freegans I believe they call themselves, essentially urban hunter gatherers.
Personally I cam from a hoarding household and it was a hard habit to break, that I may not have been able to break were it not for my wife who is a clean freak, though not a bad one. We tended to balance each other out, now I only keep things in a small area that I work in and don't start more than 2 or 3 projects at a time.
I purchased a shirt gift box covered with various layers of gift wrap with a greeting card front in the center. I am looking for a pattern to do it myself!

Many folks may have wool sweaters that are nice and warm but not as easy to keep clean and avoid moths as some of the newer materials.
CITIZENS BANK is the WORST for charging overdraft fees!!!!
Sweaters? no one wants sweaters for Christmas! Although if the person has everything maybe it is just as well.
I agree with the first two comments, a dremel is a guys dream! If the set is too expensive there is always bits and extensions and small parts for it.

I vote for comment # 7!

A day free of nagging.
Priceless.

@Don - You bring up a very good point about whether or not you should seek other action to conquer your debt. Here's a resource for that:
