Another horrendous dentist visit. With the damage my jaw alignment is causing to my teeth coupled with a sharp drop in income, I’m going to have to start fund raising to get my bite fixed before I lose my teeth altogether. Time to start some serious work on the Better Homemaking Network [...]

Took a trip to CVS today. I got a nice cashier who rang up multiple transactions for me, and I stepped out of line a lot to let other customers go. I bought 3 12-packs of Coke, thinking I’d get a $2 ECB, but it was a regional deal and I didn’t check [...]

Not bad for six transactions total, and forgetting a $1.50 Haircolor coupon.
