If you're a normal human being, the subject of saving money has crossed your mind at least once recently. If you watch the news and hear about the grim economy, you've thought about money. If you have kids that will be starting school soon, you most certainly have thought about money. I have been thinking about it day and night it seems. Since I have demoted to being a very part time employee and devoted my time to my kids, money has been at the forefront of my mind. I've thought about saving more, spending less and keeping a tight budget and I have recently put some idea into action. First off, we all have bills.

So, I figured I'd just try to see one doctor. I figure she could take the damn thing out, tie my tubes, remove scar tissue and assess my ovaries in one swift move. Ho
