I sometimes use Booking.com to find a list of motels (or other accommodation) in a particular location. Once I have selected the motel I want, I Google it and go to the motel's website. I then phone the motel and book directly with them. It is usually cheaper and you are dealing with the actual...

BruceC you only ever seem to pop up to yell at people (in capital letters), tell them they are fools, you have no sympathy for them and they deserve to lose all their money. What a delightful person you must be!

The plumber set ours to 60 or 65 when he was fixing a valve. It's pretty hot, but I like having the hot water. Not sure how the government could limit the temperature of your hot water service.

I have never used a plastic chopping board because I didn't like the idea of little bits of plastic coming off. I've always been happy with my wooden chopping board.

SDC perhaps you could mention in the emails when these posts only apply to people in one state.

My daughter got Ross River virus four years ago when camping by a river. She is in her 20s and developed temporary rheumatoid arthritis, where she had very painful and inflamed joints. The doctor tried various medications, and eventually put her on Hydroxychloroquine, which worked but it took...

My worst phobia is flying. If I really have to travel by plane I have to take medication, otherwise my anxiety makes me physically sick. Spiders are pretty bad too, especially big hairy ones! I am also not good with swarms of insects. Interestingly my hubby is a beekeeper (we just have one...

I am sure I have seen this exact post a few months ago!

Love your Snowshoe kitty. A friend of mine breeds Snowshoes, they are beautiful cats!

The disabled person may have been the passenger, not necessarily the driver.

I used to work in a women's fashion store and we used commercial Jiffy steamers. They were fabulous, used for hours and hours every day and never missed a beat. However I can't justify $600 for a steamer when I would only use it for delicate and floaty fabrics. Most everyday items still look...

"I'm walking backwards for Christmas"!

They were probably paraffin candles, which give off toxic fumes. Soy or beeswax candles are much safer. Candles should always be used in a well-ventilated area too.

This reminds me of a movie called "The Net" which starred Sandra Bullock as a computer analyst whose ID was stolen. She was caught in a nightmare where she basically ceased to exist! It was back in 1995, and seemed so far-fetched back then, and now it is really happening!

The only effect Black Friday will have on me is to make me change my shopping day! I usually do my grocery shopping on Fridays at a fairly large shopping centre. I'm sure next Friday will be a nightmare, so I'll choose another shopping day!

I wouldn't haggle at markets. I have friends who have their own small businesses and I've seen how tough it's been for them to keep going over the past few years, it just doesn't seem right to haggle. However in stores I always ask if they offer a Seniors Card discount. Quite a few times they...

I am interested in the compression socks. I get swollen ankles and years ago I was able to buy cotton compression socks from Myers. Now all the compression socks seem to be synthetic and make your feet sweaty.

I tried fake tan years ago, but I have very pale skin with lots of brown spots. The fake tan made the brown spots super dark which looked terrible, plus it went all blotchy around my knees and ankles. Ever since I have been quite content with my natural pale skin!

I have $170 banked in my Everyday Rewards and will start using it this week. I've been doing this for a few years now and it really helps at this very expensive time of year.
