One blurb about it says -
"The mastermind behind the "Cheapskate Monthly" newsletter, Mary is proof positive that debt doesn't have to destroy you. She conquered her personal $100,000 debt mountain and now lives free from the crush of high interest and monthly payments! Start climbing your own financial alps with the indispensable guidance and hope."
I actually think she offers a very good plan, with step-by-step explanations and instructions for changing your attitudes and behaviors. And, it all seems easy enough. Even just reading it and getting the ideas in mind will be a good start (not as good as doing what she says, but you have to start by becoming aware).
I've read half of the book so far. It's a good book. I think my Dad gave it to me hoping I'd read it. I have no idea WHEN he gave it to me. I'm only now to the point where I've picked it up and started reading it. I think she offers a good plan. And, you know how debt and money worries are so stressful. In my way of thinking, it's a plan for peace of mind ... at least on the financial front.
ps - I'm not crazy about the fact that some of the groups endorsing this book are right-wing ultra-conservative fundamentalists who would gladly take away all of everyone's personal choices in life, but everyone needs help with money! So, they have a right to find it useful, too.
I have no idea what the author's personal political or social attitudes are. But, she has some excellent ideas about how to get out of debt and stay out of debt. Her book is well worth reading.
I totally screwed up and erased this entry, but I'll try to put back what I remember of it.
Yesterday, someone found this site by searching on "suzy homemaker ice cream machine". I liked that combination of words for a search, so I searched over twenty search engines.
This site was in in the top five a few search engines. It was in the #1 position on Google, Yahoo, Netscape, and AOLSearch. I thought that was kind of cool!
And, then I deleted it while trying to get the Debt-Proof Living site just right! Arrrrrghhhh!!!
A friend sent this guided meditation to me. The link is to the page where you choose your internet connection speed. From there, it takes you into the meditation.
In honor of this act of courage and solidarity and support, and maybe also to help myself recognize that I should be joining that ring, I did a google search on 'symptoms of depression'. Here are the first eleven sites listed. It's a good start.
When someone did a search for "gross sexual organs pics", this blog was #1 returned out of 5,440 found.
But, of course, they did do some kind of weird selective search (as usual) picking up words from here and there to construct the search string.

My friend went to another doctor and had more tests done. They gave her a different diagnosis. I don't know if it can be called 'better' or 'worse'. It's still cancer. It's still scary. She'll still need to go through chemo. She's trying to make changes to give her every possible positive factor in her favor (good nutrition, reduced stress, emotional support).
And, she has asked me for something. I'm passing her request along to anyone I tell about her. If you pray, in any way or form, please pray for her. She's scared. She's not ready to die. She wants to get through this and get well. She's not big on religion or people who try to preach to her, but on some level she believes in the power of people reaching out to someone or something greater than themselves. She knows she needs more. She is asking for it from us.
