I buy the single fans since they are cheaper and I wouldn't be able to afford some of the newer lilies as double fans. Just like seeds, I'm willing to wait a little until they bloom to offset the price. As far as bonues go, I'd rather have bonus of fans of the lily I purchased than something I don't like. I've thrown out many a bonus because of this. And I've never noticed this "bonus policy" except in the daylily world! I always thought it was nice, but strange. I don't get bonuses at Walmart, so I wouldn't expect one here. Nice, though, don't get me wrong. As far as the auctions, I got rid of a ton of daylilies in 2012 so I could make room for some newer and fancier ones. I've gotten some great ones this year with some good prices. I've got about 10 more lilies on my list to go and I've already purchased 5 in the Fall and have 7 coming in the Spring. I can't wait!!!

I use Weiman SS Cleaner & Polish or Pledge in the brown can...both do a great job of removing all sorts of smudges/spots. They also appear to "repel" future fingerprints...at least I don't seem to get very many for a couple of weeks after using them. I find that other than wiping off spots from cooking, I only have to wipe down my SS appliances to get rid of fingerprints every 2 or 3 weeks... The DW needs much more frequent cleaning, though, since it gets water spots/streaks from dishes. I'm not sure I'd use BKF unless I had actual scratches on it...or if nothing else works.

"Well, I had my internet access, cable and phone turned off -I could not pay the bill." Check out the many, many FREE ISPs that are out there. Some limit the number of hours you get, but you can at least check your email to see if your boss sent something important and then still use the library for recreational internet use, like accessing GW here. Some give you unlimited usage but you have to sit through annoying banner ads - but it is FREE. http://www.all-free-isp.com/arizona-providers.php Cable is a waste of money for any one on a tight budget. It is a luxury item. I don't have it. I don't need it. Even if I made more money I probably would not get it since it offers so little. Now about your phone. I am assuming you are talking about your landline and not your cell phone. Most people do not need BOTH. But, your state may have the program where you can get assistance to pay your landline phone if you have low income and a medical condition where you need the phone available for medical emergencies. Some phone companies in some states offer this with their own program too and you could check this out for yourself. You would get almost free access but have to pay for each call you make. The national assistance program is called LifeLine and I believe is for those living on public assistance but states have their own related programs with names like LifeLink for landlines. There is even free cell phone service called SafeLink good for up to a year for those temporarily disabled and low income. SafeLink Wireless is a federal government supported program that provides a free cell phone and airtime each month for income-eligible customers. You may need to take advantage of these government programs until you get back on your feet. https://www.safelinkwireless.com/EnrollmentPublic/home.aspx "My son is going to help me pay my rent so that is good." You say your "rent" is $800/mo and you could save HUNDREDS of dollars per month by getting a one bedroom place instead of living in a three bedroom since you are living alone. Consider renting out the extra rooms or getting a roommate. I know people who have do this and never had a big problem. I have considered doing this myself. Look at the *big picture*. Trying to save pennies by burning up gas to drive miles, to save 6 cents per gallon on gas at some far flung service station, negates any savings. There are oodles of *money saving tips* websites on the internet that offer good sound advice. I know. I read them. I live frugally. Start with this one that has advice on banking with low/no service fees: http://www.thesimpledollar.com/2008/02/06/little-steps-100-great-tips-for-saving-money-for-those-just-getting-started/ There are plenty of places that offer FREE financial counseling and job search help. They even have free computers. A financial counselor can put a person on the right track and help formulate a budget that is living within your means. Women's centers have these resources so do the senior centers. http://www.wehelpwomen.com/jobs/index.html http://phoenix.jobing.com/blog_post.asp?post=19861 Here is a link that might be useful: Fresh Start Women's Center Phoenix

charley- thanks! I tried searching with that & it IS also called that. It brought up the link to LNT but it is no longer available. oceanna- I've tried ebay and everything I can think of. I don't know anything about craigslist but I might try there - Do people sell and ship on there? southernfrenchie - Thank you so much! That was really kind of you to search for me! I hate that I can't find it because I can never find a bedding set that I really really like and I really like this one!
