Is there a cure for it's only-itis?

Is there a cure for it's-only-itis? As in $$$$ and cents. My discount will only be ten cents on this pop-no big deal(walmart workers) if you do that five days a week that's fifty cents and multiply that by 52 weeks that's 30 plus bucks! Don't get me started about buying a multi pack and bringing it to work! 

As a cashier I see this all the time. Like the teen that dad asked ....where's the end of grandmas' gift card? Oh it was only fifty cents i tossed it!! WTF that's money-and thank the lord that man pointed that out. 

When I first started my money saving journey, I suffered from this disease. So what if I save twenty five cents a month by turning out my lights? I mean prepaid cell phone service is an obvious huge savings I'll do that. Unplugging my modem when I'm not using it...no biggie. Until you start to see everything add up and substantial savings on your bills. 

To be honest I really don't want to work for the rest of my life. I am not wired that way. I will volunteer, work on my online stuff etc....but there are days and weeks I really just don't want to leave the house. The only way I am going to do that is to save money wisely and put a hefty amount in my 401k...something I couldn't do if I don't watch my cents! As the saying goes..a penny saved is a penny earned!

So do you have any thoughts on this? Any tips?

God bless and have a great day! 

Updates, still not feeling great

Hello! I finally got over my cold but am having issues with liver enzymes. I got an ultrasound yesterday, been having bad stomach and lower back pain. Plus exhaustion even after taking off work. Since, for once in my life, I posted personal stuff on Facebook here is the posts, so you know what is going on. I appreciate all of you and your thoughts and prayers. If anyone needs prayer let me know! God bless and have a good day! 


Dec 10:

Normally don't like to post personal stuff on Facebook, but this time I am really worried. I have a possible physical issue, a big one. Going in for further testing tomorrow. Please keep me in your thoughts and or prayers, thanks

Later Dec 10(was in ER)
I want to thank all of you for your support. Still in pain n blood work totally different than last week. So the ER  sent me home after seven or so hours or so. Going to primary tomorrow hopefully find what is wrong

Dec 11 ;

Hi, thanks again for thoughts and prayers. I go to my primary today and if she says it's nothing, I am calling in the big guns ---my mother and if that doesn't work (hello, mama bear doesn't matter how old the "child is") my aunt Jackie Mastrocesare who happens to be a nurse. Something is the matter. I don't feel good and I want to cry. This coming from the person with bad arthritis that stands on her ...large butt all day at work and work that said butt off. (I hope lol) So when I don't feel good-in fact much worse something is the matter.
Please keep praying. God can heal, but God also gave doctors brains to use. Thankfully my new primary, though young, LISTENS to me. This is what started the testing process in the first place, that showed the original o\way off blood counts.
Sorry about the  novel, but you all have been so good to me it makes me feel wonderful to know I am really cared about and Mike Doyle and Andrea M Zierath you both better message me! and Lynmarie Halliday Moore I will message you ttfn I'm off


Later Dec 11:
I am becoming one of those annoying tmi posters but update___going to get an ultrasound next week

Updates and ramblings from the Burgher

So here I am! Just stopping in to say helio, how are you? Not to much new going on here! My son is doing well and is excited about going to kindergarten...In reality though going on the yellow school bus seems wonderful to him.

I am on my second day off in a row which is nice. It has given me the chance to do a bit of cleaning and catching up on my online stuff. I have a few things I want to buy so working hard to get cash outs on a few of my sites. 

This week probably Friday I will be going grocery shopping...I am sore but it needs done. I am going to stat printing my coupons through http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/katylady77
swagbucks (use the above link please!) this way I get paid approximately an additonal ten cents per coupon. What i do is print them out and then cut them out during my hour lunch break at work. I will first go to Aldi a local discount/generic store. Then I will see who is having a good sale and use my coupons there. Giant Eagle is expensive but when stuff is on sale and I use coupons that double its not a bad deal. Thjey also have a place that I can drop my son off to play. Its win-win. I sometimes sit in their  cafe, buy a drink and go through my coupons and the ad.

Anyway God bless and have agreat day! ps me when i ws thin and young! 

Sorry its been so long! Ramblings from the Burgher

Hi guys! sorry it has been so long! I have been crazy busy with my work at www.menacerecords.net work at WalMart and of course Christmas. It was sooo not fun having bronchitis the whole time so was just a wee bit more than tired. Also need to get bloodwork done so I can get my meds filled for my arthritis the pain is noticabbly more without them. They are very strong though Humira and methotrexate. Been so busy and tired but really regret putting it off! 

There is good news though. My parents bought me a new tv, a need not a want my little 10in tv was almost 10 years old, the screen was getting spots and it was buzzing. I got a 32 in hi def tv, its really an upgrade and awesome! 
My son made out like a bandit both at home and at grandparents house. Spoiled little guy! 

I have had some good goodwill hunting trips to! 

Anyway God bless and have a great day! 

Rambles and Hacks for Life from the Burgher

Hi all! Know its been a while here but just keeping you updated. i had a death in the "family" my blood family. I was adopted and now have re-connected with a lot of family, including my brother. Its amazing and has opened me up to drop a lot of the baggage, it was devastating but also a golden opportunity to drop a heavy load.

Any way here is a few tips that I keep forgetting to tell you. For those two heavy boxes of powder dish soap or laundry soap, save a creamer package or something similar. Just fill it up, make sure every one knows what it is and it makes it easy and neat to pour into the spouts. Great f or those of us with chronic pain. Also, if you get stuck on gunk anywhere put soap  and a bit of water and take an expired drivers license or credit card and it scrapes right off. Reduce and reuse! 
God bless!
