After printing and cutting it out, it will easily fit inside a photo holder for your wallet.  The calendar uses only one set of numbers but lists twelve alternate headings for each month, color coded for the varying days in the month (green for months with 31 days, orange 30 days and pink for February).  Clever and makes for larger size type (for those of us with degrading vision) than a wallet sized calendar listing every month in the traditional fashion.  The calendar is a pdf file.

Today is the day that postage rates go up once again.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30662579/?GT1=43001&quot;&gt;First class postage goes up&lt;/a&gt; 2 Cents to 44 Cents.  There are some other increases also like postcards go up a penny to 28 Cents.  Check the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.usps.com/prices/welcome.htm&quot;&gt;USPS Price Guide&lt;/a&gt; for current rates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately it&#39;s kind of a vicious cycle.  Internet and email give no cost alternatives (at least for those of us who consider broadband to be a required expense anyways).  Lower mail volume, lower USPS income, raise rates.  More people look for alternatives (pay bills on-line, send e-cards, etc.).  USPS loses more income, raises rates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do use USPS for packages whenever I have occasion.  You can ship &lt;a href=&quot;https://sss-web.usps.com/cns/landing.do&quot;&gt;priority mail&lt;/a&gt; by preparing, paying for and printing labels on their &lt;a href=&quot;https://sss-web.usps.com/cns/landing.do&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.  I then leave the package in a bag on my mailbox post.  You can even get &lt;a href=&quot;http://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductCategoryDisplay?catalogId=10152&amp;amp;storeId=10001&amp;amp;categoryId=13354&amp;amp;langId=-1&amp;amp;parent_category_rn=11820&amp;amp;top_category=11820&amp;amp;WT.ac=13354&quot;&gt;boxes free&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href=&quot;https://sss-web.usps.com/cns/landing.do&quot;&gt;priority mail&lt;/a&gt; shipping.  The rates are reasonable, shipments are trackable, service is reliable.  Try it.</description><link>http://thriftynet.blogspot.com/2009/05/stamps-go-up-2-cents-today-to-44-cents.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (John J.)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060314726248971942.post-914142073234149182</guid><pubDate>Sun, 10 May 2009 17:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-10T13:24:31.234-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">free stuff</category><title>Free Coffee Sample</title><description>Get a &lt;a href=&quot;http://smartchoice.tasterschoice.com/?CMP=KNC-gppcsampling#/Try_It_On_Us/&quot;&gt;free sample&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href=&quot;http://smartchoice.tasterschoice.com/?CMP=KNC-gppcsampling#/Try_It_On_Us/&quot;&gt;Nescafe Tasters Choice Stick Pack&lt;/a&gt;.</description><link>http://thriftynet.blogspot.com/2009/05/free-coffee-sample.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (John J.)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060314726248971942.post-1903356471229495006</guid><pubDate>Sun, 10 May 2009 13:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-10T09:43:11.536-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Deal of the Day</category><title>Another Sears Midnight Madness Sale (Save Additional 5-10%)</title><description>Tonight, from 6PM through 6AM, on-line at &lt;a linkindex=&quot;52&quot; href=&quot;http://www.sears.com/&quot;&gt;Sears.com&lt;/a&gt;, they are offering an additional 5-10% off.</description><link>http://thriftynet.blogspot.com/2009/05/another-sears-midnight-madness-sale.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (John J.)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060314726248971942.post-7715693671894780027</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2009 00:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-05T20:18:51.797-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">coupons</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">free stuff</category><title>Free KFC 2-Piece Meal Coupon</title><description>Courtesy of the Oprah Show...&lt;br /&gt;Get a coupon good for one two piece grilled chicken meal with two sides and a biscuit at KFC.
