So, you want to go organic?
Organic foods are the most nutritional food there is . . . no chemicals, no preservatives.
Organic is the food of choice today.
Many people find the prices for organic fruits and vegetables found in the local grocery store too high. Consequently, they would like to ‘grow their own’.
My organic garden started when my children were small. Not small, however, were the giant sweet potatoes cultivated from rich soil built on fine white ‘sugar’ sand in the heat of South Florida. My little backyard subdivision plot was responsible for a healthy abundance of squash, beans, eggplants, peppers, onions, radishes, cabbage, broccoli, kale, etc.
How Did I Build A Healthy Organic Garden in soil that only supported sandspurs? Let me tell you how I did it and how you can do it, too.

Cruise lines took a big hit when the ecomony crashed. Actually, just about all vacation destinations were hurt as people kept their money at home.
But, a girlfriend and I have been taking a cruise once a year for the last 3 years and we didn’t want to forfeit the 4th one. The cruise lines are encouraging people to come onboard and have been giving some irresistable money-saving deals!
I love getting away to a tropical island during the winter doldrums . . . no phone, no computer, nothing but peace and relaxation. After all, where except on a cruise can we get our room, meals, and entertainment for a smidgeon of what we’d pay for hotels, restaurant meals, and night clubs on land?
What is THE Biggest Single Concern To Seniors? Good question and the answer is:
“Outliving Their Money”
2. Not Being Productive
2. Financial and Physical Security
2. Staying Fit and Healthy
(All equally important)
IMPORTANT **TIP: : You MUST stay informed.
Money: A declining economy. Failure of stock investments. What’s a senior citizen to do when his/her retirement income has been challenged? It doesn’t have to be scary.
When it comes to financial market investments, there’s one man who can teach us the “yea’s and nay’s”. It doesn’t matter if we’re a novice or an “experienced” investor, we need to know what, how, and when to buy/sell. We all can use a mentor.
Everyone wants whiter teeth today. It just makes us feel better when we smile!
Well, I ordered a SAMPLE of DazzleWhite for $4.95 (as advertised on their website – I had followed a link from an ad). On the phone the person tried to upsell me to a recurring subscription for $79+ which I vehemently rejected, saying I was only interested in the SAMPLE. I did NOT want to purchase anything else or to be put into an automatic billing of any kind. I repeated this a number of times!!

Buy Quality Clothing From Clearance Racks.
We can still find quality, value, and style from store clearance racks and we have new things to wear!
The Internet affords the opportunity to shop numerous places without leaving home. There are some obvious places to shop to save money and some not so obvious.
Classic Closeouts has a BARGAIN bin section of their website right along side their “Clearance Tab”! It’s like an old-fashioned bargain basement sale with slashed prices on hundreds of articles of clothing. How about $10 for a $60 blouse? As a matter of fact, Classic Closeouts has three standard bins from which to choose: $2.99, $5.99, $9.99. All sorts of goodies for the family and YOU. This “slashed price” merchandise changes regularly so we can save on a regular basis!

I know people who are so frugal they make their pennies squeak.
I’ve known a few in my past, as well. I feel sorry for them because they’re so afraid of losing what little money they have that they have no chance to experience happy times. They spend their lives in paranoia.
Oh sure, these “penny-pinchers” tell me they like their lives. They like staying home and doing nothing! Yea, right!
If these frugal people were to win the lottery (if they even play it), they tell me their lives wouldn’t change because they like driving their old car and living in the neighborhood they’re in. (Yea, right – tell me another one!)
