Bookmarked: Carnivals and Links - Nov 20
Only one more week until (American) Thanksgiving! I’m looking forward to returning home and enjoying time with family — and most importantly, taking time to take a break and relax a bit. Much overdo.
Site Issues
If you tried to visit Student Scrooge on Tuesday or Wednesday this week, you may have noticed the site was either down or returning errors — unfortunately my web host was experiencing problems with their database server, which knocked my site offline intermittently for the past forty-eight hours. I’m hopeful that things have been resolved, but I’m not entirely positive of that. Nevertheless, I appreciate your patience!
Around The Blogosphere
- Do the labels “sell by,” “use by,” “expiration date,” and the like confuse you as much as they confused me? Karen over at the MSN Smart Spending Blog has a very helpful overview of what the various labeling dates mean. Definitely a good thing to know.
- Looking for extra cash in college? Broke Grad Student gives a great list of five things college students can do to make extra cash. Great thing is that the list isn’t just for college students! Looking at the list, I know I have done at least four of them. What about you?
- While I don’t think I’ll ever be a full-time blogger–I enjoy this as a pure hobby–I really enjoyed reading J.D. over at Get Rich Slowly describe his experiences during his first 8 months as a professional blogger. Very impressive.
- Finally, Cap over at Stop Buying Crap has further fed my tendency for procrastination by providing seven websites for fast, easy, and free entertainment. Pandora, despite the fact that it brings my computer to a crawl sometimes, is almost constantly up, and I almost always take time out of my day to watch The Daily Show on Hulu. Amazing what is out there legally now.
Recent Carnivals
Bargain Briana presented the 114th Festival of Frugality — Election Day Edition, and I was honored to have my gift card expiration “crisis” chosen as an editor’s choice! Awesome.
The Sun’s Financial Diary hosted the 177th Carnival of Personal Finance, which included my post on tipping for take-out food.
MoneyNing hosted the 179th Carnival of Personal Finance - Smile Edition, which should perhaps be described as the happiest carnival in a while. My post “6 situations where I still need cash” was included.
Finally, Financial Wellness Project put together the Festival of Frugality #152 - Affected By Recession Edition, which included my list of great websites for scoring cheap airfare.
Thanks to all the hosts for putting in the time!
