Max is back on his natural food diet....

My crazy dog has allergies to preservatives and he gets a little intense when he has to go back on a strict diet when he can't have any table food. He gives you the stare down every time you eat, because he is dying for people food.

Natural Products To Clean Your Stove

Being on a budget sometimes can be a strain, meaning some household items you would normally buy you don't because they don't fit in your budget that week or you just forgot to buy something. There are always ways around it. For example, don't have any scouring pads to clean the stove with. Try using salt and lemon. Sprinkle a little salt on the stain and a little lemon juice and scrub with a paper towel or dish rag. The salt acts as an abrasive while the lemon cuts grease.

Oprah's OWN Network

Last night I was watching Oprah's new network OWN. She was showing previews of her upcoming shows on her network. I was only watching for five minutes and it sounds a little depressing. With all the daily struggles of trying to find a job and our new financial struggles of going from a two income household to a one income household, I don't need to watch anything depressing. I think Oprah should have left well enough alone and stuck to being a talk show host and doing her charities. There is enough depressing stuff going on in the world. I am not really interested in hearing about the personal struggles of the stars. We hear enough of that on TMZ and Extra. I am not really interested in hearing about how Shania Twain has lost herself. When I watch TV, I am looking for entertainment and something to take my mind off my own problems. If I am going to watch something about someones personal struggles, I would rather watch something about the average persons struggles and how they are dealing with them, because maybe I can get something from the show that can relate to my own life.
