Savings Experiment: The story behind saving money on milk {WalletPop}

Mar 19th 2010 2:56AM There are distinct differences in the milk from store to store, dairy to dairy.It can depend on what a cow eats as to what something tastes like. There is one store that I will not buy milk from, it tastes like cardboard-even when it is in plastic, which brings up another item. Milk tastes different from plastic, cardboard, or glass containers. Same with canned milk and shelf milk and powdered milk. The absolute best that I've had was when I lived on a dairy farm, fresh (3 weeks old in stainless steel and pasteurized by the farmer and it tasted fresher than any store milk that I've had.) The second best is bottled milk, but mostly we have plastic available here. Someone questioned the prices of milk. In town here it can run anywhere from $1.50 a gallon to around 3 bucks. Canned milk and powdered milk has skyrocketed but bottled milk fluctuates with the time of year, gasoline prices and utility prices of the seasons. Still I love milk and price does not stop me from buying it, but it might make me shop around more. Small dairy farms can't compete with mega-dairies, but they can find a niche in the more exclusive stores and therefore the price will be higher. I tend to love the small dairy, the 40 acre farms, their people who get up before dawn 365 and clean their animals for milking and let them walk about after. Knowing the hours they put in and what they do to keep their family farms, I think their milk is worth more than the foreign farmers coming here and mega-farming. So, if I do buy milk and pay $$more to the smaller farmer, it is money invested in wholesome living, farming and a love and deep respect for what they do. A gallon of Coke or Pepsi cost much more than the gift of the cow and farmer.

Undercover Boss Blows the Horn {Careers Articles}

Mar 16th 2010 5:22AM There has never been a time when visiting Churchill Downs that we were not treated as if we were royalty. Churchill Downs is amazing and its people who work there are fantastic. Keenland is another treasure of Kentucky and every time we visit the state we make time to visit both places. Kentucky is one of my favorite places to visit, such beauty in so many places and the people there are some of the nicest in the nation.

Lenders starting to run after 'walkaway' homeowners {WalletPop}

Mar 9th 2010 9:36AM If one must walk away from their home, then include it in a bankruptcy. There are reasons people must give up their possessions, and including it in the legal paperwork will protect the person, legally. Contact a reputable lawyer and discover what options there are.

Catholic Preschool Boots Child Because Parents Are Lesbians {Politics Daily}

Mar 9th 2010 9:28AM Like it or not, it is a private, parochial school. They do not have to accept anyone. As a Catholic school, it is against their religeous doctrine and freedom of religion is still an American choice. There are places that don't accept people living together and not married-family centers and such. As a group, as an organization, they have the right to uphold their beliefs. It is not just Roman Catholics that have this sort of code to live by, and that is their right. The couple can take their child elsewhere, to a nonsectarian business and not have a problem. I think this article, and the rant is just for 'show and tell'.

The Dark Side of Thrift Stores {Lemondrop}

Mar 5th 2010 12:35PM I usually don't shop thrift shops, except when I'm in the mood. If I am going to go to a thrift shop, I would support the Salvation Army's Thrift Store or Goodwill Larc. We donate almost everything there, and they're great people. Since we receive a lifetime discount at one retailer, and when I buy on clearance, thrift stores can't beat the price (like the off season, brand name shorts that were new and originally $40 and I paid-with clearance, an extra percent off, then my 20% discount then add 6% sales tax = $1.06. They fit well, look great and are nothing different than this year's offerings-just someone returned last year's clearance after Christmas.) The same goes for the stores down the isle at the mall where I purchased a winter Woolrich vest ($115), a fall Woolrich vest($110), a Columbia sweater ($100) for myself and a namebrand ($85) shirt for my husband for something like $53.00. These are new with tags and believe me after a lifetime of being a retail worker's spouse, we know when and how to shop and rarely do we ever pay full price for anything except shoes. I also have a good selection of WalMart really cheap end of season clothes and Von Maur has wonderful sales which I hit when I go purchase shoes. It does not pay me to shop elsewhere. I've been burned by one thrift store, and have high praises for another, but haven't used either as a seller or provider in years. When I can have new clothing for cheaper than I can have used clothing, it makes no sense for me to shop there, although yard saling and ebaying can be fun, I really find I would tend to purchase what I do not need versus shopping at Von M., JCP and Wallyworld and odd times a trip to Kohls. I don't limit my clothing budget, I just don't spend that much to worry about it.

Peer-to-peer loans: Writer explains what it's like to borrow from strangers {WalletPop}

Mar 5th 2010 6:32AM Having had identity theft, I find the idea of putting all your personal information out there completely scary. I think I'd either suffer and pay the higher rates or find a bank, established lender than ever doing this.

19th-Century Grave Rests in the Middle of the Road {Asylum}

Mar 3rd 2010 3:28PM I think it is a good thing that it was left alone. I don't think that it needs to be pretty or anything else for the entertainment of those who visit the grave. It is a resting place. I love to visit old cemeteries, the most unique was in Kentucky close to Washington KY. It is on an old Kentucky toll road at the 13th mile marker. The first time we went there it was chaos, someone had ransacked the place, crypts were falling in, infant markers sitting on the edge. Sarcophagus broken in pieces. It looked on this hilltop that a tornado picked up the stones and moved them anywhere the haunt wanted it to be. There were graves on top of graves, and it was quite an erie mess. There is a cemetery within the cemetery and from that area, you can shout and not be heard when you can see the person easily. When we left, feeling pushed out, we went to the next town and reported the disruption of markers. We have revisited several times, and the last time it was restored to where markers should be, but there was a new unmarked grave. I don't know the history of this mountain site, other than it is really old, but the history has to be a story in itself.

Coroner: Brittany Murphy Had 'Elevated Levels' of Vicodin, But No Illegal Substances {Popeater}

Feb 26th 2010 11:38AM Her BMI is within normal range at 19.1, I just looked it up on the CDC BMI calculator. Those thin arms you speak of are what is considered what we should be by our government and the medical establishment. Think of the backstabbing press and the horribly inept photographers who want to raise criticism. She was fine weightwise. She had an illness that can kill quickly and that can happen in the hospital as well and yes Vicodin by its very nature as an opiate does suppress cough, as well as depress respiratory rate, as well as aleviate the pain of coughing. In retrospect, it is easy for someone to say that she'd have lived if she'd gotten to a hospital, but that's a crapshoot. Yes, they could have gotten her hydrated, had oxygen and iv antibiotics, but she was being treated by a doctor, she just turned sour quickly and she couldn't be helped. All of this stuff over and over in the paper does her family no good at all. She was a beautiful woman, who had several medical conditions that even with conventional treatment, she died. It is sad to us to loose a shining star, but sadder still to her family. I hope that they are coping with all of this as they mourn the loss of her. Enough is enough, everyone.

Coroner: Brittany Murphy Had 'Elevated Levels' of Vicodin, But No Illegal Substances {Popeater}

Feb 26th 2010 11:25AM that is called a person taking one for say coughing so hard the head goes off the top and the ribs feel like they're breaking. You can take a narcotic and not be an abuser. Narcotics are given for specific pain levels, and using them for specific pain relief is not abuse.
