Time is money. Time saving links. Lori has sent us a set of really useful links. We all need to (1) save time and (2) still be using these various sites and features.

I like to re-blog, at least for the most part, posts that are so informative, the more people that see them, the better. So why THIS post. Easy.

A great subject to re-blog! We could make a TV commercial about this subject. Oh Wait, someone already did! And why would they do that, you might ask. IT'S REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT IS WHY!Don't Forget To Send Your Payment On Time Lately, I have heard many people say, "Who cares if I pay my mortgag...
