Depression Era Saving Taken Too Far

I've been shredding my mother-in-law's decade and older documents, and have come across all sorts of things she had used to save a penny or two. Mainly, she's taken used envelopes and recycled them to store other documents, by adding her own handwritten note of their contents. Some of these envelopes two or three handwritten notes as to their contents. Not too bad, and definitely a money saving technique. I've always been a little in awe of how much my mother-in-law's been able to save over the years, and recycling old envelopes is definitely good for the environment. But today, I came across a stack of old Christmas cards secured not with a rubber band, but with that colorful slightly tacky tape they use to anchor gauze to the track wound when making blood draws. Yuck!

"We've reached a tipping point with the new price of Kindle--the growth rate of Kindle device unit sales has tripled since we lowered the price from $259 to $189," said Jeff Bezos, Founder and CEO of Amazon.com. "In addition, even while our hardcover sales continue to grow, the Kindle format has now overtaken the hardcover format. Amazon.com customers now purchase more Kindle books than hardcover books--astonishing when you consider that we've been selling hardcover books for 15 years, and Kindle books for 33 months."

Currently, they’re temporary out of stock. That happened to me too, but I ordered mine anyway, so I was one of the first once they started shipping again.

If you want the Kindle with WiFi only, it's available too. Consider it a Kid's Kindle, or a Family Kindle.

I love my Amazon Kindle! When I purchased mine, it was close to twice the cost of today's model.

Diabetes

Diabetes is really on the rise! Every year, my heart doctor does blood tests for all sorts of things, including blood sugar. The combination of high blood pressure and diabetes is really nasty, because the sugar works like shrapnel in your veins. To make matters worse, it's easier to be diagnosed as a diabetes, because blood sugar number has dropped from 125 to under 100 in my adult life!

I realized yesterday how bad it's gotten, because I got a phone call asking me to send letters to 15 people in my neighborhood. I have been sending notes for March of Dimes for years, but now there's a movement to educate the public about diabetes!

Do you know what your numbers are?
