I refuse to buy one of the new crockpots. My old one (from the 70s cooks to perfection). My advice is to look for an old Rival at a yard sale. Jennifer Northern Virginia
Mystery Shopping Advice?
I was a mystery shopper at local coffee places. By the time I filled out the paperwork, it was not worth the ten dollars I received. Twice they didnt pay me because they said I didnt answer one of their zillion questions with enough details. Aggh. No more. Jennifer...

Dog Pees in the House When I'm at Work?
I agree with fauxpaslover and Maya. If I could not have afforded a dog walking service, I never would have rescued these two. They depend 100% on us and it is unreasonable to think they can hold it for 9 hours. Having a dog is a huge responsibilty and we need...
