September 17, 2018 at 9:16 amI’ve been needing some good links to read! I’m glad you posted this today. I need to read the one about reducing spending for sure and also the can opener one – you are most definitely not alone on that!

September 17, 2018 at 2:04 pmThe can opener thing is blowing my mind! I’ve been doing it all wrong for all of my life! now I need to go home and open a can of something! Ha!

September 18, 2018 at 10:04 amI know! I can’t wait to try opening a can again the RIGHT way, haha.

September 17, 2018 at 2:30 pmYou are the only link love I read because I always find a bunch of things that are interesting to me!
I agree with David Frum. I don’t look at the oped writer as a hero. If it’s really that bad, invoke the 25th amendment and impeach him.
I think I have sitsfleisch and can see problems through but only if it’s quiet and no one if bothering me. If I am distracted, then no. And I cannot concentrate when I am distracted. Even when reading/commenting on blogs I have to pause the tv.
I already do a lot of the money saver tips. I think the biggest way we save money is we rarely go out to eat. That really adds up! We could make our own cleaning products. I wish Paul had his rxs delivered because I hate going to pick them up! In fact, if it COST extra I would pay it haha. I will never cancel my $10 Planet Fitness membership. It is just so convenient to have it and I do enjoy going to the gym. I have a lot of weights so I can lift at home as well. I just like options. There have been times I haven’t gone to the gym in months and then there are times I have gone several times a week. I figure it all evens out in the wash. I reeeeeeeally want to cancel cable but Paul does not want to due to sports. It is expensive.
MY MIND IS BLOWN ON THE CAN OPENER!!! I feel like I should have something out of a can for dinner tonight so I can try it out!
When I run on the treadmill, my Garmin is off by a 10th of a mile or a little less.

September 18, 2018 at 10:07 amMegan, I really appreciate for letting me know that you get something out of these link lists… sometimes I don’t know how interested people are in those, but I always enjoy them on other people’s blogs, so I keep putting together my own :)
I know you mentioned that you don’t eat out much. We cook a lot at home too, but J likes to go out to eat (more than I do), so it’s often his treat to go out (and he doesn’t spend much money on other things), so I feel like I need to compromise there.
The can opener thing is trippy, isn’t it? I feel like a fool LOL
I am relieved to hear that your Garmin is off, too. I actually googled it and it seems to be a common problem.

September 17, 2018 at 5:43 pmWow! So many links I need to read right now. I’ve been debating on getting a fitness tracker forever, so that’s the first one. I also have seen the can opener one before and couldn’t believe it. And those breakfast zucchini cookies? Yum!

September 18, 2018 at 10:07 amIf you are a numbers nerd like me – ha! – than you’ll love a fitness tracker!

September 17, 2018 at 11:35 pmI am bookmarking so many of these to read during my break tomorrow, especially that potato one – cause I love them. Also, how to jog. I am NOT a runner by any stretch of the imagination, but think it would be good for me to get into it. Thanks for sharing all these!

September 18, 2018 at 10:08 amSo glad people enjoy the link list. Don’t get too excited about the “jogging article”, it’s a sarcastic piece, but so good.

September 18, 2018 at 11:27 amYes to the response to the anonymous op-ed about Trump. At first, I was thrilled about this op-ed and loved the portrait it painted, but as I read responses from people who understand politics way better than I do, I came around to the line of thinking that this person is a coward and really just made things even worse. Ugh.
My mind is blown by the can opener trick! I never open it that way! I didn’t even know there WAS a correct way, haha.

September 19, 2018 at 8:53 amThank you for sharing! I love my Garmin and found the post very interesting. I’ve also noticed a slight difference between my watch and the gym treadmill but it seems similar so I’ve been happy.
I need to go make a cup of tea and then read some more of these links :)
