Cut back on cell phone expenses and also run the water heater only part time, as it is a huge energy hog.

Special K has just come out with a protein cereal that makes you feel full. It really works too but tastes nothing like the Special K with berries, which is what I usually get.

I kind of have a skewed opinion because I work from home for a company and it's via the Internet. I get pretty burned out on it, but I also do all of my business with it. I'd hate to be without it although I get sick of playing on it. LOL

I almost always end up doing them all at one time. Today I have only 14 so far, so I have a lot of catching up to do. I'm going to make a goal to do one a day next month and see if I can keep to it.

Not very often these days since I telecommute from home and don't go that many places. I double-check before I leave home though!

I love them with nuts. I used to make a packaged brownie mix and add nuts. Then I'd frost them with canned chocolate frosting and sprinkle with nuts. Yummy.

Go to CNET and download AdwCleaner.  It's super.  I also got rid of every toolbar.  I also use Malwarebytes.

Carrot cake that I make from a recipe I found in an old cookbook. I have never found another carrot cake that tastes as good as this one as it has a little "extra."

I would get one of the most intelligent breeds, and they come in all shapes and sizes, for they will be easier to train. I have owned German shepherds, poodles, and a Papillon.  Here's a list of the top 10 in intelligence (from "The Intelligence of Dogs"):

I'm a nurse so it really hasn't happened to me, but if you like your doctor, rest assured that s/he will treat it objectively and professionally and think nothing more of it.
