Have you been searching in vain for a Wii? We have, and every store we visit is out of stock. Finding one is like finding a needle in haystack. We get one of two responses 1) “We receive our shipments on Sunday mornings, so come early” or 2) “They are drop shipped to us and we have no idea when we will get them. Just keep checking with us“.
This article is part of an ongoing series where I write about Money Saving tips and strategies each Monday. You can see the rest of the series articles here.
I’ve been shaving using disposable razors since the very first time I ever shaved. Disposable razors work OK, but I never really got the quality of shave I wanted, and the razors are expensive. This is particularly true if you use one of the newer Mach III or Fusion razors. Sometime back, I found an article The Simple Dollar had written about shaving. Trent’s method of shaving sounded like something worth trying, especially if I could get a better shave for less money.
4Him has probably been one of the most successful and long lasting groups in the contemporary Christian music family. They formed in 1989 after coming up with the idea for a 4 man group while sitting at McDonald’s one day. Their final tour was in 2006 resulting in 15 years worth of hits. Each member decided to go there own way and do something different.
My personal favorites from them: Where there is faith, Measure of a man, The Basics of Life, and For Future Generations. Here are the lyrics Where There is Faith, originally recorded in 1990 but re-released on their latest and last CD, Encore:

This week was a big week for me, I finally got my cast off from where from where I broke my wrist 8 weeks ago. My wrist is still pretty sore and stiff, but getting better each day. Hoping that by the end of next week I should have about 90% of my motion back. Just feels GREAT to no have that heavy, smelly, itchy cast on.
I participated in 5 carnivals this week, including a new one from Cash Money Life. Thanks to all of the hosts. I know from talking with others that host these how much work it is and really appreciate their efforts! Here they are:
Do you wait until the last minute to pay your property taxes (also called real estate taxes), hoping the funds will just appear in a surprise windfall of cash? Of course we both know that never happens. This article will tell you how I stopped doing the same thing and will help you be better prepared. Start planning ahead, have the funds the pay your taxes when you need it and get some extra interest in the process.
I would suspect many of you have a similar problem. We have a bonus room above our garage. It has two air vents but for some reason the builder decided to place them next to each other in the ceiling, on the far side of the room, right next to two large windows. To make matters worse, one vent is connected to our downstairs heating and AC unit, the other to the upstairs heating and AC unit.
Once again, this year just seems to be flying by. It will soon by Christmas day soon following by the start of 2008.
For those of you with blogs, I’ll stumble a post or two from your blogs to say thanks for being a top-commentator!

The end of the year is coming up soon, and if you have a balance remaining in your Flexible Spending Account, you need to spend it by December 31st or you’ll loose the remaining balance. Here are a just a few ways to spend that money!
Most health insurance plans pay for one yearly physical but it never hurts to get more than one especially if your other one was early in the year. Use your Flexible Spending Account balance to pay for that extra physical.
Back in July, just a week after starting this blog I started my series of Money Saving Monday articles. Each Monday I provide a tip that I use or do to save money. With this being one of the busiest shopping seasons of the year, I thought I would republish tip#1 again, as using the PriceProtectr has saved me a considerable amount of money and I want to make sure my new readers are aware of it. Which by the way reminds me, I’d encourage you to read through my archives. My writing has improved a great deal since then, but there is still some pretty good articles in there.

My faithful readers know the that last year of my life started with a huge personal crisis followed by 12 months of ups and downs but life is slowly returning to normal. I rely both on the word of God and Christian music for inspiration and renewal. Over the past year, one of the songs I’ve continually turned to inspire me and give me me hope is Mountain of God by Third Day.Here are the lyrics, and if you are currently in the valley, hopefully the words will inspire you as well.
