Thanks for the great post! It makes me so sad when good fruits and veggies are no longer available for the winter. I really appreciate the advice on canning. I didn't know that it could be so dangerous, so now I'll be more careful.
I like that your podcast is quick and easy to understand. You have fun tips and are geared well towards your audience. Thanks for letting know about this podcast, and I can't wait to receive more tips and interesing info on saving!
Snappy music, starts fast. Overall very professionally done. Deepen the timbre of the voice (make it deeper) and speak a little bit more slowly. But the voicework is clear, just a little bit rushed - slow down, deepen, breath & relax & it will be perfect. Try to talk to a person more & "read" less. You're presenting tons of information quickly, I find the information valuable- just slow down. Like your tip for calling in advance, it's often difficult to get or find a manager- stopping at the help desk might be good too.
A book I recently read (The Noticer), had a quote that speaks volumes:
"Big stuff is made up of a bunch of little stuff."
It's pretty common to disregard the "small stuff" and spend more time on the "big stuff" even though we know it's the little things which add up to big success!
I like this one though I haven't tried it. Used a cut throat razor for years for the challenge and artistry. Now I use a simple twin blade with a quick smear of soap. Can't understand why anyone needs shaving cream. Wimps?
about 20 years ago I began shaving in the shower each morning. I used GE's silicon adhesive to attached a 5x7 mirror to the shower wall and have never preferred anything else. The sink is not full of whiskers and soap scum, my face is completely rinsed without water all over the vanity. It is much faster since you can rinse your razor quickly with the shower stream and you can do final rinse in two seconds. The mirror does steam up but a handfull of water takes care of that. Once a year I wipe the mirror with RainEx and that makes the water run off nicely.
I subscribed to the itunes podcast and enjoyed the comprehensive and detailed info on the use of coupons especially the consumer reminder of self control and discipline to stay within budget.
Lots of good information! One constructive thing I could say is that sometimes it sounds like she's reading an article, complete with section headings. A more conversational style would be better. But, overall, I really like her voice and don't think she sounds monotone at all.
After shaving, I rinse my Fusion and then spray it with Clean shower or another spray on shower cleanser. Wait a minute and then rinse with water and store in the medicine cabinet. Best mileage I've gotten is 9 months from one blade.
Tried the dry shave method and found it irritated my skin too much.
Tried the coupons for cheap/free Schick's and found that they plug up between blades too easy if I don't shave every day and are much more difficult to clean than Gillette Fusion or Mach3.
In 25 years of shaving I have tried a lot of methods, currently my prefered method is Gillette Fusion with Arbonne RE9 shave gel. I shave in a hot shower using long strokes with the grain and then immediately reverse back up the same strip against the grain. This gets me a super close shave until long after the blue stripe is gone. My wife is convinced the baby smooth skin on the first day is worth the $0.16/shave. This close a shave usually lets me go 2-3 days before my next one. I replace my Fusion blades at about 8 months (about 100 shaves) when the white stripe is almost worn off in some spots. I rinse and shake dry my blades, leaving the in the bathroom without any other treatment in a fairly dry climate.
nowadays, most people can not live without debt, to buy a house, a car, get a study load for study, to start a businees,ect. just can not live well without the debt. debt-free life, i want it, but hard to achieve it.[img]http://www.photosnag.com/img/4713/n09x0302vnsn/clear.gif[/img]
I thought the Podcast was very informative. I particularly enjoyed the Target one because it was extremely specific. I liked the more general topics as well (like double coupons, etc.), but I got the most value out of the Target one because it went into such great detail.
In regards to the conversation about dry shaving: I wonder if over time, since you aren't softening the hair or lubricating your skin (which also has salt in it and contributes to oxidization and dulling of the blade), if the blade will get duller quicker for having to cut through tougher hairs...
Another thing I would add is to KNOW yourself and your family or people that you cook for....when I was younger I would spend time preserving foods that I didn't really like, how dumb is that?! :)
I live in California, a temperate climate, so I can grow herbs and lettuces and other veggies all year long. I don't do a lot but there is always something growing, at least herbs. I hate buying herbs!
I really hate frozen food, even if I freeze it. So now I don't bother, knowing Im never going to thaw it out, no matter how smart.
I stock my pantry with non perishables, mostly Mediterranean-diet type foods and then buy fresh and seasonal every couple of days. Works for me.
@breilly - Thanks for the endorsement! Isn't the power of our online community great? We can help each other suss out the best deals, and make sure they're legit no less!
@Guest #24 - I don't know about the granite situation, but I imagine it would be fine. I seem to remember something about vinegar being bad for marble though - and I would most certainly do a test patch first....
@Guest #25 - I used to mix a tbsp of apple cider vinegar into a glass of cranberry juice before meals. Apparently the cran juice enhances the effect - or at least complements the taste of the vinegar! :-)
Well done. Viewed from another perspective specializing is another way of differentiating your product or service. From the perspective of your customers and prospects, most would rather deal with a specialist than a generalist. They assume that a specialist can add more value than a generalist can add. But the generalist cannot add the same amount of value as a specialist.

Well, on to squash and potato season!

A healthy balance is always good.
OK I buy this one but I have been taking exclusively cold showers for 15 years now and shaving in it might be a bit tough in mid-winter.

Very nice website I will study it & I carry your all suggestions hope so they all are good for my site.Thanks a lot for your tips.
How can I make my Teac TV/DVD combo model RC-6182 play all regions and also my Pioneer XV-DV252?

By the way, baby oil is mineral oil, read the label. The only difference is the added fragrance.

Anyone?
