This Week in the Blogosphere: Recovering From Illness Edition
Well, in case anyone noticed, I missed a couple days this week due to illness. And since I haven’t gotten to the point where I have all my posts scheduled beforehand, when I couldn’t get out of bed Tuesday morning, I wasn’t able to edit and publish the post for the day. And that continued through yesterday. By Wednesday afternoon I was feeling a bit better and back at work. Actually, my wife and I were both sick Tuesday and Wednesday (though I had the worst of it so she still had to ferry the kids around to and from school). Whenever we get sick, I always seem to get sicker than she does – does anyone else experience that phenomenon?
Anyway, I thought I’d use today’s post to point out some good articles I’ve seen in the last week or so (for some reason, I’m just not inspired to talk about insurance today!)
The Apostle of the Turtle points out two compelling reasons to turn off the TV . We don’t watch a lot of TV at our house (much to my children’s chagrin) but we still do watch some. In fact, we regularly watch only two shows – Monk and Psych on Friday night and both of their seasons just ended.
Until Debt Do Us Part asks "Why Die Rich?" Ahhh, yes, hoarding – I get accused of this frequently (It’s something I’m working on)
To combat any natural tendencies toward hoarding (or is it just me?), consider taking part in ChristianPF’s 10 Day Give .
My wife hates coupons for some of the reasons presented (by The Happy Rock as a guest post on Bible Money Matters) in this post discussing how coupons can actually cost you money . I’ve heard so much about how great coupons are though that we finally relented and started a two month subscription to the Sunday paper solely for the coupons. The stats so far: 4 Sunday papers, total coupon savings $0.00.
I am a late adopter, mostly because of price. I know that sounds weird for someone who uses so much technology on a daily basis, but I don’t like spending a lot of money. I still remember when the first CD players came out and cost like $5000 or something. One Caveman’s Financial Journey discusses how being a late adopter can save you money.
Everyone wants to do more in less time, so check out these 5 tips for being more productive from Wise Money Matters. These seem like really good ideas. Honestly, though, I’ve not tried any except #3 (what is this I keep hearing about some big bailout?). As far as #3 is concerned, I really like it.
ChristianPF shares some creative ideas for the seemingly lost art of the thank you. I think that whether or not people are polite and friendly varies a lot based on where you are in the United States. For instance, I noticed that when we moved from AZ to NC, people were much more polite in random interactions. Actually, I was amazed how much different it was.
God bless…

I’ve been fighting an illness for the past week now since we were on vacation, and it just won’t go away.. I missed two days of work, and I’m still sick – but back at work. Frustrating isn’t it?
