Finding Cheap Dental Care Without Insurance
My work periodically changes its dental plans, but I've yet to buy in. It would cost me over $150 a month, plus deductibles and limits on what the insurance covers to insure my family. Instead, we found a local dentist that doesn't overcharge us and lets us run up a balance as long as we pay $100 per month on our account. Yeah, we may be paying $100 a month for years, maybe even forever, but that's cheaper than $150/month forever plus deductibles/20% for each treatment.
The only time we had a big payment was for a root canal (the endodontist required full payment all at once), but considering we'd saved the cost over several years of not buying the insurance, we still end up ahead.
How I Lost $470 To A Vindictive, Abusive, Extortionist eBay Buyer
I rarely use PP anymore, but its linked to a completely separate account that I keep $20 in to maintain. When I want to buy something, I transfer money into that account. If for any reason it gets hacked, or PP wants to take money, my losses are limited.

At some point, someone has to sue (or start a class action) against ebay.
Is $51/Lb. Worth The Convenience Of K-Cup Coffee?
Buy 1lb bags of whole beans and a small 2-4 cup coffee maker. Grind enough beans for your pot (or two) and put the coffee beans in the fridge.
Is $51/Lb. Worth The Convenience Of K-Cup Coffee?
I'm more than happy with my 2-cup coffee brewer at home. Just enough for me.
We have a K-cup machine at my office, but at least I don't have to buy the K-cups (unless I want to get something different, in which case, I'm keeping my box of K-cups in my desk).
Banks Realize Short Sales Are Better Than Foreclosure, Pay Homeowners To Sell Now
Or you'd get issued a 1099 form next year and be forced to claim the "forgiven debt" as income and pay taxes on it.
Almost All States Sign On To Massive Mortgage Settlement
So, this settlement only applies to mortgage loans made after the housing crash in 2008 even though most of the real abuses took place before 2008.
And, the settlement is only provided to those people behind on their payments, even though abuses were systematic and also affected those that aren't behind on their payments. How is that even remotely fair? That's putting the onus on the homeowner, who was abused, rather than the bank, who did the abusing.
I seriously hope there's some judge out there that can reject this settlement.

Komen Foundation Reverses Decision On Planned Parenthood
Everyone now knows that Komen is being run by a bunch of anti-abortion right wing wackadoos. Good job! Where before you could have silently pushed your political agenda in slow and subtle ways, but by taking a sledge hammer to it, you've shown the world you're true colors (and its not all pink). Now many people will think twice before they donate, if they ever donate again. Way to promote women's health!

How To Win At That Stupid Claw Game
Agreed. You have to find the right machine. We used to go to a Perkins restaurant that had one and I'd say we've spent maybe $10 or so on the machine, but we've won 6 stuffed animals from it.
Part of the trick is also to look for the animal easiest to grab, not necessarily the one you want the most. if our first try clearly failed, we'd stop. If the first try moved the animal significantly, we'd give it another go with better placement and almost always won the second time. I think once we had to go a third time.
