Thinking of Having Children? Do this 10 step Program First

Lesson 1

A really good way to discover how the nights might feel…

1. Get home from work and immediately begin walking around the living
room from 5PM to 10PM carrying a wet bag weighing approximately 8-12
pounds, with a radio turned to static (or some other obnoxious sound)
playing loudly. (Eat cold food with one hand for dinner).
2. At 10PM, put the bag gently down, set the alarm for midnight, and
go to sleep.
3. Get up at 12 and walk around the living room again, with the bag,
until 1AM.
4. Set the alarm for 3AM.
5. As you can’t get back to sleep, get up at 2AM and make a drink and
watch an infomercial.
6. Go to bed at 2:45AM.
7. Get up at 3AM when the alarm goes off.
8. Sing songs quietly in the dark until 4AM.
9. Get up. Make breakfast. Get ready for work and go to work (work
hard and be productive)

Repeat steps 1-9 each night. Keep this up for 3-5 years.

Look cheerful and together.

Keyboard Shortcuts Jasper Showers

I love keyboard shortcuts! Who wants to tediously reach all the way over to the mouse, just to do something that could be done by pressing a key combination? Here are a few of my favorites, reply with some of yours.

Internet Browsing:

  • Alt + d (or) F6 = Place your cursor in the address bar of the browser.
  • Alt + <- (left arrow) = Go back one page.
  • Alt + -> (right arrow) = Go forward one page.
  • Ctrl + w = Close the current tab, or if no tabs are open, close the browser.
  • Ctrl + t = Open a new tab.

General Use:

  • Ctrl + z = Undo the last action. (I use this constantly)
  • Ctrl + y = Redo the action that you undid.
  • Ctrl + Shift + Esc = Open the Windows Task Manager directly, bypassing the annoyance of having to Ctrl + Alt + Delete first.
  • Alt + F4 = Close the current window/program.
  • Ctrl + c = Copy the selected item.
  • Ctrl + x = Cut the selected text.
  • Ctrl + v = Paste the copied item.
Most of the listed commands are universal (in that they work for Windows, Linux, and Mac) but some are OS specific.

Are you a Spendster? Erin Quinn

October 10th, 2008

Are you an impulse buyer?

Do you over-spend?

Or do you just plain waste money on the stuff you don’t need?

Spendster.org began as the brainchild of the National Endowment for Financial Education® (NEFE®) CEO, Ted Beck. On a trip to Los Angeles, Ted said, “Listen, everyone has a drawer at home full with junk. I doubt anyone has really sat down to think about how much money they’ve spent on it all.”

Do you have a story to share? Or if you’re too embarrassed to tell the world what you spend your money on, you can always use the Spendster Calucator to figure out what your money would have been worth if you had bought Google stock back in 2004 or put the money in a high interest banking account for 40 years.

Check out the site at Spendster.org and if you see someone on there talking about their designer purse obsession…don’t tell my husband it’s me!
