I can make a meal out of flour and water. I can decorate a room with a bag of trash. I know how to have fun for free. I am a resourceful person and I think I could help other people by sharing my tips on living on the cheap. With the way the economy is going. . .

How I did it: I tried over the counter gel orthodics, exersizes, good quality shoes. . .nothing helped. I finally went to a chiropracter. He told me I had fallen arches. He gave me 3 adjustments and recommended an over the counter orthodic that gave arch support. He also gave me some home therapy and exersizes to do. This helped quite a bit. The one thing he really stressed is not to go barefoot anymore. This was a problem for me in my bell… Read how I did it…
How I did it: We got the medical community involved. My father-in-law was at his wit's end with pain and loss of mobility. He told us to put him in "the old soldier's home". We knew then he was asking us for help. We called his doctor (who was on vacation) and found someone on call that suggested he come into emergency. We did and he has not been home since. He is in a nursing home recovering from a surgery that has already given him back at least… Read how I did it…
So far I have recruited 4 neandralthals, 1 van driver and a van, and a photographer. We have found enough real and fake fur for 3 people as well as a whole deer skeleton for bones. This is going to be great!
I have been updating my website, my eBay store, picked up a great new account, and am trying to get more orginized. I have also been paying attention to details. I’m already making more money.
