It's Your Money...Keep It!!

These are some crazy days we are living in. Wars and rumors of wars…stock market crashes and rumors of crashes…and what ever happened to the Tellytubbies?

I have once again been working my frugal (cheap) brain and have come up with a short list of 6 things we may all want to try in order to stretch our dollar just a bit further during this economic crunch time. I do have to warn you that some of these tips I haven’t actually tried yet so if you decide to try them you do so at your own risk. It might not work for you, but the fun is in the trying!

1) When your using your soap and it gets to that point where it becomes the “itty-bitty soap” don’t throw it away! Save those itty bitty soaps and when you have two or three collected melt them down on your stovetop and shape them into a new bigger bar of soap! Practical and artsy!

2) Condiment lover? Find somewhere that has those neat ketchup/mustard/whatever sauce pumps and take your empty bottles over there and fill’er up! (if its for free...it’s for me!)

3) Speaking of condoms…for those of you using them (judging by all the new baby announcements this wont help the majority of you) rinse those bad boys out and reuse them! Then you can send out your own announcement next month.

4) Find religion! Did anyone know they serve a free snack at most Christian churches at least once a month?! For best results find the ones that use real wine! Take two, and put one in your handy pocket flask! After a few of these trips you can have a little wine with dinner EVERY night!

5) Wash your car with the squeegee at the gas station! It works so well on your windows how bad could it work on the rest of your car. For faster results…bring the whole family along! Many hands make light work!

6) Unplug your alarm clock, r better yet all of your clocks when you’re sleeping! You’re unconscious anyway you can’t see it through closed eyes! Warning: may cause unemployment, but think of the savings!!

God Bless America (cause we sure do need it)

I thought I could stay away from addressing politics on my blog, but in the interest of humor Sarah Palin has made it almost impossible for me to avoid the obvious and easy.

Now I won’t bore you by taking easy jabs at all of the silly nonsensical interviews she’s had, but I will take a moment on my soapbox to say this…

Many have criticized Obama’s lack of “experience” and so now I ask: which is more important to America…quantity of time served, or quality of time served? Educate yourself (watch the Sarah Palin interviews with Katie Couric including the joint McCain-Palin interview at CBSnews.com) and form your own opinion.

In the meantime I was able to engage my network, rub a few elbows, and got some one-on-one time for an exclusive Guerilla Mindfare interview with the Republican VP nominee herself. You readers wanted some very specific questions answered and here’s what she had to say:

Guerilla: Thank you for spending a few minutes with us today, we know you have a busy schedule and we have just a few questions and we’ll let you get back to it.

Palin: Thank you for that welcoming welcome and yes I am a busy little bee, or perhaps I should say beaver but it doesn’t much matter because they both start with “B” which everyone knows comes after “A” and is always at the beginning.

Guerilla: ummmm….yeah…so…let’s start easy with a nice getting-to-know-you question our readers would like to know. Do you like hamburgers?

Palin: Well...I certainly do love French fries....and in America that’s something that we have to make sure we are focused on

Guerilla: But do you like hamburgers?

Palin: Have you ever met an Eskimo? They love hamburgers and French fries…even if they’re cold…the fries not the Eskimos

Guerilla: Not to beat a dead horse, or a cow in this case, but do you like hamburgers as in do you like to eat them?

Palin: I love putting things in my mouth and as you know from past presidencies that can be a very important aspect to whether you are viewed as a good one or a bad one

Guerilla: ok let’s move to the next question. How will you represent for women if you become Vice President?

Palin: This foreign policy stuff is a little frustrating, but what I will do for women is I will let them represent themselves. Women are strong people they don’t need me to represent them. So they can be beautiful and well represented and we will gladly take the credit for their success.

Guerilla: that sounds a bit fishy Governor…

Palin: Let me stop you right there…I believe man and fish can live together peacefully. This is America. Home of the Cowboys and Indians

Guerilla: I think they prefer Native Americans Governor

Palin: Yes…excuse me…Native Americans and Indians…

Guerilla: ….


Keep checking back for part two of our interview with Gov Sarah Palin when we really dig in to the major issues…and be sure to tune in to the Vice Presidential debates tonight at 9PM EST. It’s bound to be entertaining if nothing else…

(the preceeding was a parody not a real interview...just in case the men in black come a lookin for me)
