| RE: Sock Bags |

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE THRIFTY, USE A PILLOWCASE. JUST THROW THE SOCKS IN AND TIE THE END IN A GOOD KNOT OR WITH TWINE OR SOMETHING. IT WORKS FINE AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE A LINGERIE BAG I FIND THEM TO BE ON THE SMALLISH SIZE. ... View related article. |

| RE: Dealing With Someone With a BiPolar Disorder |
|
I AM BIPOLAR AND IT TOOK YEARS FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE ME. LIKE THE ABOVE ADVICE IT TOOK AWHILE TO GET THE MEDICATION JUST RIGHT AND STILL THEY HAVE TO ADJUST IT AT DIFFERENT TIMES. PLEASE DO NOT THINK THAT THIS DISEASE IS ANYTHING BUT A DISEASE. YOU WOULD NEVER HESITATE TO TELL SOMEONE THAT A MEMEBER OF YOUR FAMILY HAD DIABETES AND BEING BIPOLAR SHOULD BE AS ACCEPTED TODAY. AFTER YEARS OF TREATMENT FOR DEPRESSION AND THEY FINALLY DECIDED THAT I WAS BIPOLAR, IT DAWNED ON MY SISTER AND I THAT OUR MOTHER, GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDAUNT WERE PROBABLY BIPOLAR. IT IS MORE COMMON THAN PEOPLE REALIZE. BUT AGAIN, BE PATIENT WHILE THE MEDICATION IS BEING ADJUSTED AND MAKE SURE THEY TAKE THE PRESCRIPTIONS AS IT IS LIKE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION. PEOPLE STOP TAKING IT BECASUE THEY FEEL BETTER AND THE REASON THEY FEEL BETTER IS BECAUSE OF THE MEDICATION. I HOPE EVERY THING WORKS OUT BETTER FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MEMEBER ...

| RE: Money Saving Tips |

AROUND THIS TIME OF YEAR ALL THE COLLEGES HAVE STUDENTS ABOUT TO GRADUATE AND THEY TEND TO THROW OUT TERRIFIC THINGS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO PAY A MOVER TO SEND THE STUFF HOME. EACH SCHOOL USUALLY HAS A PLACE THAT YOU CAN PUT STUFF THAT IS UNWANTED. ALSO DO NOT BE AFRAID TO CRUISE KNOWN STUDENT AREAS FOR STUFF. THE THINGS PEOPLE THROW OUT FOR RUBBISH CAN BE FANTASTIC. ONE LAST THING. TELL EVERYONE THAT YOU NEED FURNITURE. WHEN I MOVED INTO MY APARTMENT I HAD NOTHING, BUT PEOPLE GAVE ME A QUEEN BED AND MATTRESS AND ALL MY FURNITURE WAS USED. CHECK YARD SALES AND RUMMAGE SALES.PLEASE DO NOT PUT UP A SHOWER CURATIN OR SHEETS FOR WINDOW CURTAINS. IT ALWAYS LOOKS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS, WHICH IS TACKY. I HAVE GOTTEN BEAUTIFUL TAB CURTAINS BRAND NEW, IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE FOR 25 CENTS A PAIR. BE OPEN AND EASY GOING AND YOU WILL GET BARGAINS GALORE AND HAVE THE MONEY THAT YOU WOULD HAVE SPENT TO TREAT YOUR HUSBAND AND YOURSELF EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE. ... View related article. |

| RE: Low Cost Activities |

I LIVE IN LOW-INCOME HOUSING AND BELIEVE ME IT CAN GET BORING. ONE GROUP SET UP A PARK WALK TUESDAYS AND THURDAYS. THEY GET A TEE-SHIRT AND GET EXCERISE WHILE LOOKING AT THE BEAUTY AROUND THEM. IN OUR TOWN WE HAVE A "SENIOR" BUS AND EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT A SENIOR I CAN TAKE IT. IT COSTS BETWEEN 5$ 5.00 AND $ 7.00 TO TAKE THE RIDE WITH OTHER SENIORS/DISABLED TO THE MALLS AND OTHER STORES. IN OUR COMMUNITY ROOM THERE IS ALWAYS AT LEAST ONE JIGSAW PUZZLE GOING. A LOT OF THE PUZZLES ARE DONATED. THEY ALSO HAVE A GROUP THAT KNITS AND CROCHETS IN THE COMMUNITY ROOM AND ARE ALWAYS WILLING TO SHOW A NEW PERSON THE ROPES. WE ALSO HAVE BOOKS DONATED AND THEY ARE AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE TO READ AND THEN DONATE BACK. IF YOU HAVE THE ROOM GET DVDS OR VIDEOS OUT OF THE LIBRARY TO SCREEN FOR EVERYONE. OUR LIBRARY SYSTEM IS LINKED WITH MANY LIBRARIES AND WE CAN ORDERS THOOUSANDS OF TITLES. ALSO SEE IF THE LIBRARY WOULD LET YOU GIVE A SHORT COURSE ON THE COMPUTERS TO LET THE PEOPLE SET UP AN E-MAIL ADDRESS. THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BUY A COMPUTER BUT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO USE ONE FOR FREE. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS OKAY FOR YOU, BUT BY OUR COMMUNITY ROOM WE HAVE A "SHOP" WHERE PEOPLE PUT IN THIR THINGS TO SELL. THE ONES THAT RUN IT GET A PERCENTAGE AND THE SELLER GETS THE REST. I ALSO DO NOT KNOW IF YOU REDEEM BOTTLES AND CANS BUT WE HAVE CONTAINERS IN THE HALL TO COLLECT AND THE MONEY COLLECTED FROM THE SHOP AND THE REDEMPTIONS GO TOWARD THE COMMUNITY. WE HAVE HAD A CHRISTMAS PARTY AND A FOURTH OF JULY PARTY AND SMALL GIFTS ETC. GOOD LUCK.....HEATHER ... View related article. |

I KNOW THAT THIS WILL SOUND STRANGE, BUT...I DO NOT HAVE A DESK AND THE FILE FOLDERS WERE JUST NOT WORKING. I TOOK AN HANGING SHOE ORGANIZER AND HUNG IT ON MY BEDROOM DOOR. IN EACH SLOT I KEEP VARIOUS IMPORTANT PAPERS.MY BILLS, BANK STATEMENTS, MEDICAL INFORMATION EVEN MY SHOPPING CIRCULARS, IT MAKES IT SO MUCH EASIER TO SPOT WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR AND DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE ORGANIZER, YOU CAN DO MONTHLY COMPARTMENTS. I HOPE THAT THIS HELPS. HEATHER ... View related article. |

| RE: Tax Receipts for Thrift Store Donations |
|
I WAS AT A LOCAL THRIFT STORE ON FRIDAY, AND THE MANAGER TOLD THE LADY THAT WAS DONATING TO ITEMIZE ALL HER DONATIONS THAT SHE WOULD BRING IN ON THE COMPUTER. THEN TO DOWNLOAD THAT LIST AND THEY WOULD THEN SIGN OFF ON IT. THIS WORKS TWO WAYS, ONE IS THAT THEY SHOULD NOT JUST SAY THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED "A BAG OF CLOTHING" AND TWO YOU WILL HAVE A COPY ON YOUR COMPUTER TO KEEP TRACK FOR YOUR TAXES. GOOD LUCK ...
