Free domain names for your website

If you are like me and have a website (or a few!) and want a URL that is easy for your visitors to remember, I found a GREAT website to get one for free. It will take you all of 20 seconds to have them automatically redirect your existing URL to the new one.  I…

Blog Update: New Links

You will notice that on the right side of the page, there is some advertising.  I placed these in myself and chose ONLY companies and organizations which I have purchased from or used.  These are websites I use on a semi regular basis and can vouch for all of them. I will be upfront, I…

Family Family Meals Under $3: Mock Pineapple Chicken & Rice

This is my own recipe. This serves 4-6 people depending on portions. This will take about 10-15 minutes to prepare. I cook the rice while I am cooking up the TVP. Firm tofu can also be used instead of TVP if that is cheaper for you. I got all the main ingredients on sale aside…

Small touches of luxury for your visiting guests!

As you know, I have a room listed on Airbnb.com. The price is very low since I like to host backpackers who might be uncomfortable using couchsurfing.org and prefer to pay a small price for a room as a way of bartering. When my guests arrive, I like to make them feel special, just as…
