10.15.09: QUESTION OF THE DAY
What is your best strategy to save a little time in your life?
Interesting article here from GoodHousekeeping.com with "18 Ways to Beat the Clock." Here are a few...
--Store buttons in clear pill dispensers so you can easily spot the one you need.
--Schedule your next haircut before you leave the salon.
--Buy stamps, print labels, and arrange package pickups at usps.com
--Reserve books online instead of driving over to the library to do it in person. (You can renew books online too.)
--Keep note cards, envelopes, and stamps in a zip-top plastic bag in your purse so you can dash off a thank-you note while you're standing in line or waiting in the school parking lot.
--Use a Web grocer like Peapod. Once you set up an account and a shopping list of the items you buy often, placing an order takes only minutes
--Avoid movie lines. Buy tickets ahead of time from a service such as Fandango or Moviefone.
--Do all your banking online. (It's safe, really.)
--During TV commercials, don't just nosh, pay your bills (that is, if you don't already pay them online).

Captain Lou Albano, famous wrestler from the 70's and 80's, died Wednesday morning. He was 76. He was also the guy that starred in those Cyndi Lauper videos playing the role of her father. The two apparently became friends after meeting on an airplane. The connection between Albano and Lauper is what brought the "Rock and Wrestling" match to MTV, which made Mr. T, Hulk Hogan, and Roddy Piper mainstream celebrities. Lou's funeral is planned for Saturday in Carmel, NY.
