I have been ordering everything under the sun and I love it. I love getting the latest gadgets and food and just whatever my little heart desire. DH thinks that I am crazy and going to put us in the poor house, lol. I use my own money so whats the problem? He thinks that I might have an addiction, whatever.
We are in hard times these days and I am truly trying to not let it get to us. I have been doing my online stuff which really does supplement my income. Between surveys and working here and there online, it is making up for it big time. As far as gas prices go, since no traveling much, we dont really feel it but I know when and if we do go out, it is killer. Do what I do, take online surveys and focus groups and make extra cash, it wont hurt.
Now when you are thinking about where should you have a place to really inwind, somewhere with minimal distraction, I would want a room where I could just sit and have a good read. I remember growing up and my grandma would do the same only she had a room just for that. In most cases, I would find a room in the corner of a room such as a dining area or living room such as the pic.
Why and how can people fall for scams is beyond me, although I would not blame them because when one is desperate to make money, I am not even going to lie, I did fall for one of those envelop stuffing things, I sent money, I thought it was legit, I know know and have learnt my lesson. beware of scammers and anything asking you for money.
I have been helping out alot along with my family and taking care of our grandparents which especially my grandfather, is just not doing too well. The alzhiemer is getting worse and its just so sad to see my grandmother in tears because her husband is just not "there" anymore. We really do try and cope with her and let her know that its not her fault and there is nothing that she can really do.
