Next time I am in the dumps I am going to log on to your blogging site and I'm sure it will put a smile on my face, even if it is in the dead of winter, you have to feel "Springy" when you view it. As to the manure pits - I'm with you, who would even think of going into one, totally gross! I love the background on the blog, it is so cheerful.

It works great to me. I think Rosetta Stone's program is still the best. Hope it works great for you too. :) I’ve bought the German version. It works great to me.

It costs a small fortune and it is very difficult to give it a test run prior to paying. I'm in a similar boat now trying to get a crash course to see if it's the program for me. My fingers are crossed though. This very much seems to be the one enormous downside of Rosetta Stone. It costs a small fortune and it is very difficult to give it a test run prior to paying.

]]> Comment on Credit and debt by Kris http://www.marilynmueller.com/03/credit-and-debt/comment-page-1/#comment-378 Kris Wed, 19 Mar 2008 20:19:26 +0000 http://www.marilynmueller.com/03/credit-and-debt/#comment-378 Marilyn, Hi. I'm a first-time reader of your blog. I came across it searching for personal finance blogs/articles. I work for a non-profit credit counseling agency and would like to give you a bit of advice. If you're concerned about your budget and debt, a credit counseling session might be a good start. If you check with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (nfcc.org), you can find an affiliated non-profit in your area. For little or (in the case of some agencies like mine) no cost you can get a detailed look at your budget and get suggestions as to how to adjust for inflation and reduce your debt. The biggest thing I would recommend is just to be very careful where you get your information. For example, a company who sells loans may not be able to give the best, objective advice because they are selling a product. Wherever you go for advice/information, do some homework to find out about the company, and definitely check them out with the Better Business Bureau and your state attorney general's office.

I'm glad you like them! I went to my local Joann's fabric store and asked them for the lightweight polyster fabric used to make bathrobes. I cut the fabric into small strips, sewed them into skinny tubes and pulled them over the pipe cleaners that I used for the arms & legs. You can, however, sometimes buy pink/brown/white pipe cleaners (actually crafting chenille stems) at local craft stores. Using those can eliminate the need for covering them with fabric. Hi!
