A Post to My Readers: I Do My Best
I received a message today that someone clicked on a link I had posted for a job opportunity and found the company was no longer hiring.

How Do You Score on MSNBC's Shopaholic Scale?
At one point in my life, in my early twenties, I might have been considered a borderline shopaholic. By that, I mean I bought things on impulse, particularly stuff for my kids. (I'm in denial here; I was full blown). But time and circumstance have a way of changing people. I would say I'm probably on the extreme other end of the spectrum today.Where do you fall? MSNBC's Are You a Shopaholic? has a six-question test that should give you a pretty good idea. I scored a 7. Take it and let me know how you rank.

The Mysterious Case of the Shrinking Cereal Box
About a week ago, my teenage daughter and I were in the grocery store, when she picked up a box of cereal and as she was putting it in the cart said to me, "This box looks different." "Different?" I said. "What do you mean?"And then I had a closer look. And she was right; it was different. It had the same picture on the front, the same name, and at first glance, the same packaging. But what formerly had been a 10-ounce box or cereal was now an 8.9-ounce box. And although it was just as tall as before and appeared, on the shelf, to be the same, the width of it had clearly shrunk.One thing that was still the...

Work at Home Moms: Where's the Appreciation?
If only the Ego Repair Hotline actually existed. With three teens and no other adult in the house, I sometimes feel like the "Invisible Working Woman." Where's the love? Who's going to tell me I've done a great job or congratulate me when I've met a goal? Nobody.Unfortunately, the lack of positive feedback is just a simple fact of working from home. I have been fortunate enough to work for a company that will send out a note to let me know when a client has been really happy with the work I've done.

Kids: How Much Exercise is Enough?
My kids have always been fairly active. One of my girls, a competitive swimmer, swims 12 to 15 hours per week, and sometimes I worry that she's exercising too much. Her coach assures us that she could and should be working out more, in order to be truly competitive. Frankly, I think it's more important that she's having fun.But how much is too much? How much is enough? The New York Times recently published an article entitled How Much Exercise Do Children Need? by Gina Kolata.

Do You Squeeze Every Last Drop Out of Your Stuff?
This might seem like a strange question. But in a tough economy, it's an important one. Do you buy a new car every year or two? Or do you buy a car and drive it 'til it gives out? I bought a 20-year-old Volvo a little over two years ago, and I just finished making payments on it in August. And God willing, I will probably drive that little car 'til it just won't go another mile. Why? Because it gets me where I want to go, and I don't owe a dime on it. I love the feeling of not having a car payment. It's great!I feel the same way about clothes. I buy most of my clothes at the local...
