Verbally Abusive Spouse Wants Me to Move Out?
If you live in a state with communal property laws, the house is 1/2 yours (but the same could be said for your business). I would check with abused womens services in your area on advice on this. I do not think he has the right to just kick you out, as you...

Getting More out of your Deodorant
I have also just used a tooth pick to scrape the extra deodorant up from the bottom in the plastic holder and then applied the scraped bits - Does extend your deodorant for days. Good for when you are running out, and you are using every last bit.
Sinus Rinse for Allergies?
I use a neti pot - sort of a small pitcher with a nozzle and a top to put my saline solution in. You can get one in a health food store. Mine was free from an online offer and is made of plastic - maybe the offer is still good.
Thrifty Fitness
Also walk when you can - and do your own lifting - and your own housework - all of these build strength and help you have more energy.

Check out your local churches. Toys for Tots operated by the Marines. Salvation Army??? You probably can get gr8 deals at thriftshops if you explain the situation, my hubby just got a big discount on 10 dictionaries for his students!

As I have said here elsewhere here at thriftyfun.com. Baby shampoo can be used to take off your mascara & eye makeup (a tip from my eye doctor). You can also cut your shampoo with baby shampoo to make it less harsh (as with dandruff shampoos). Any moisturizer...
Inspirational Romance Novels for Older Adults?
These arent exactly romance novels but romantic novels of the old type. I recommend anything by Daphne DuMaurier, the English novelist. Also, there were a lot of well-made novels written 1900-1960. Try to browse among those esp. those by female novelists.
