  • Story time! Back in the year of 1999 I took out a student loan for $5000. I didn’t actually need the money for that semester so I put the money directly into a CD that had like 4-5% interest on it. When I finally needed the money like 2 years later for my senior year of college, the interest on the CD had paid for the interest of the loan. More surprising I was able to fill out the loan paperwork and the CD paperwork at the same time with the help of a bank representative. These days I’ve had $4000 sitting in a rolling ladder CD for almost 8 years and barely made $200 back in interest. It’s pathetic and not really a mystery as to why people don’t bother to save money anymore.






  • You most definitely can overfeed scorpions and tarantulas. I once had a rose hair that I bought off someone who didn’t have time for it anymore and the little girl was so “fat” that I had to put her in a low top cage to keep her from climbing for a few months until she slimmed down. She would have ruptured if she fell from a height of a foot or more.











  • This reminds me of a running gag my husband and I have. One night while I was at work he called me to ask where I put the colander because he wanted to make macaroni. It must have been a weird sounding one-sided conversation to my coworkers because when I got off the phone one of them asked me if “where’s the colander” was out code word for “let’s have sex tonight.” I told my husband the story later and needless to say it became our code word for sexy times.
