Sparkling Clean Glassware

Anyone who knows me, knows when I go to Florida for the winter, my most missed appliance is my dishwasher. Unfortunately, we have well water which is very hard and for years I suffered with cloudy glasses and flatware...Here is the cure!!!
At the beginning of the cycle, add a package of crystal light or cheap alternative. I use lemonade because it doesn't stain the dishwasher, but any flavor works.
Your glassware will sparkle like new.

the above method works for me...try at your own risk

Health care for all is NO JOKE

For years, it has been a standing joke that I married my husband for his health care benefits...as a waitress, I had none and disaster struck twice in 3 years and as a result, instead of continuing my education as planned, I ended up paying hospital bills for the next ten years. It's easy for people to criticize when they've never faced the choice of going to a doctor or paying the rent YET...

My cure for obesity

Restaurants should charge by the calorie with a premium for fat and sodium...ie: carrot = 25 cents
big Mac =  $5.63
Denny's All American Slam =  $9.90
16 oz sirloin =  $12.00
Banana Split = 10.89

Miami has lost it's allure

This will be our last winter in Miami. We have decided to cut our mileage by 500 miles next year and stay near Titusville...The area has more to offer and is less expensive in the long run...On the downside, the weather is cooler but is balmy compared to upstate NY. New adventures await...

Maybe it's the rain...

I am so disappointed that we have free minutes on the cell on weekends and no one ever calls then...
25% of our income is spent on services ...It's time to rethink some of the expenses
