Trouble Finding Correct Web Page?
We recently had a problem like this. My husband works in computers and found that we had ad-ware (like spyware.) He ran the anti-adware program and got rid of the horrible stuff.

Hobbies to Avoid Gambling?
I agree with the post about finding a church. Ive heard the pastor from Liberty Baptist in Las Vegas--he was very good. Im sure that church would offer activities that would be useful to you. Another idea is to volunteer at a hospital or nursing home. When...

Make Your Own Toy Food
I did this for my girls when they were little. We were able to buy them a kitchen (molded plastic tyke-size), and they LOVED cooking and playing mommy! When the food boxes got too worn out, they were easy to replace with ones from my kitchen.

Help With My Grocery Budget?
You didnt say if you buy convenient-type meals instead of making meals from scratch, but that is one area that really adds up fast. Do you eat out at lunch time or take your lunch? Do you make large quantities? If it is easier to make a large amount, make sure...

Building Credit With Credit Cards?
To establish good credit, pay your bills on time. To keep out of debt while using credit cards, pay off the entire amount when the bill comes. It is easy to get into the habit of paying the minimum due, but you will soon find that you are accruing finance charges...

End of School Year Gift Ideas?
How old is your daughter? Could you get her to write a thank you note to each of these people? You could make a special gift using her note as the center and pictures of her around the edges. It would be a reminder to them of her and her thankfulness for their...

Saving Money Vs. Paying Down Debt?
I would say put a little in savings while putting a lot in debt elimination. If you pay off the lowest-balance debt first, then apply what you were paying on that with what you are already paying on the next lowest, you will soon have that paid off. Then take...

My Husband Cheated on Me?
Brittany, you have gone through a very difficult situation. You can give up on your husband and marriage, or you can do all within your power to let this situation strengthen your marriage. Communication is key--be sure you and your husband are talking. Be...

Wedding Dress on a Budget
Beautiful! It seems today so many girls think their wedding is the time to expose as much skin as possible! It really detracts from their face--which is the focal point of their expression and joy.

Broken Heater in a Ford Explorer?
My first thoughts were thermostat and antifreeze level. I asked my husband about the heater core, and he said perhaps the lines running to the heater core have become clogged (rust). You can pull the line off and look, or pull the line off both ends and blow...

Globe Costume Idea?
If you use two hula hoops and put them perpendicular to each other, you could easily secure where they cross each other with string. I can envision that you could, using white thread, whipstitch the sheet to the hula hoop. The two pole areas would need to be...

Frozen Bottled Water With Your Lunch
You might do some researching on this--I used to do it all the time, but then I read somewhere that the plastic releases toxins into the water as it thaws. I think it has to do with the plastic being at such freezing temperatures. I dont remember where I read...

Gentle Hair Dye?
I colored my hair for years. A few years ago (at age 39), my husband asked me to stop coloring it. The first year or so was hard for me, as I had to wait for the dyed part to grow out (I didnt want a short cut to get rid of it.) It is almost totally white now...

Grilled Barbecued Spareribs?
My favorite way to do chicken on the grill is to marinate it in Italian salad dressing for a couple of hours (or overnight) before putting on the grill. If Im doing bone-in, I usually boil the chicken first, then marinate it before grilling. For ribs, I marinate...
