Being somewhat "strapped for cash," I like to look at the "money saving ideas" that frequently come across my internet home page. The ideas provided are usually good ones, though for the most part they are common sense. Perhaps that is the reason that I am unable to use any of them, they are stuff that I do already or have no need for.
For example:
"Save money every morning by making your coffee at home"--with the nearest "coffee shop" 30 miles one way, this is not an issue.
"Brown bag your lunch"--this one I do cheat on a bit, there is a cafe that is closer, but still most of the time, not applicable.
"Don't go out to dinner every night"---see "making coffee at home"
and the latest include:
"Switch to dry pet food"--don't have a pet
"Take your old heels to a repair shop"--don't wear heels
"Host dinner parties," "borrow DVDs from friends," "unlock (digital music libraries)"--Most of the people that live next to me this time of year do not or would not participate, so these don't work either.
Maybe someday they will figure out not all of us live in a city...

Broke down
So, I have broken down, and am now watching "The Amazing Race." Honestly, the only reason that I started watching was due to the fact that Cord McCoy and brother Jet are one of the teams, which I found out by looking at the latest update for PBR (Professional Bull Riding), which Cord is.
I have quickly formed opinions of the teams, and definitely have my favorites.
Brent & Caite (or Miss Such As and Therefore)--they have their moments. Not one of my favorite teams, but they will likely go far, as long as he does the thinking. She keeps saying, this will show people that I really am intelligent....right....
Carol & Brandy--Normally, I would probably like the lesbian team, but not this lesbian team. They are pretty much both divas, and are not very nice.
Dana & Adrain--They didn't really have a chance, as they were eliminated the first show.
Jet & Cord--A favorite, obviously the highest ranked favorite. There is a lot I could say, but will just keep it simple.
Jody & Shannon--I really liked this team. They were both extremely positive and upbeat. Unfortunately they were eliminated in episode 2.
Joe & Heidi--Don't like this team. It is him. All him. She seems nice.
Dan & Jordan--Brothers...one gay, one not. They are growing on me.
Jordan & Jeff--Not really a favorite, very similar to Brent and Caite in a number of ways, but I like this team better. They will also likely go far, again, as long as he does the thinking.
Louie & Michael--One of my favorites, police detectives, partners on the force. Nice guys.
Monique & Shawne--They don't stand out. They are nice enough, but they keep falling into "the middle of the pack."
Steve & Allie--Another favorite, so far. Father and daughter team, which to me speaks loads.
Still not sure how this classifies as "reality," since essentially it is a game show.

The Olympics
The stories about the various "scandals" and trivialities revolving around the Olympics are just getting petty and pissy.
Fur costumes, bikini clad athletes, snowboarders being, well, boys---seriously is this news?
Not sure what the numbers are for viewers, but it seems like someone is trying to get more.
