What are some tips or advice for being more frugal with money?

I make a decent income, I’m not wealthy by any means, but I should have more in the way of savings than I do. I guess I’m in need of a good pep talk to curtail my needless spending.

My family is really weird, help?

My uncle Vernon,
My uncle Vernon,
Is independant as a hog on ice.
He's this big shot
Down at the slaughterhouse
And he plays this accordion for a man named Mr. Weiss

I've got an Uncle Bitmore and another named Uncle William
They made a million during WWII
They are tightwads and cheapskates
They'd never give a dime to you.

My auntie Mame has gone insane
She lives in the doorway of an old hotel
Her radio is playing opera
All she ever says is "GO TO HELL"

My Uncle Violet flew as a pilot
And there are no pretty girls in France
Now he runs a tiny little bookie joint
They say he never keeps it in his pants

My uncle Bill will never leave a will
And the tumor is as big as an egg
He has a mistress, shes puerto rican
And I heard she has a wooden leg

Uncle phil cant live without his pills
He has emphysema and hes almost blind
And we must find out where the money is
Get it now before he loses his mind

Cute. But what exactly is your question?

Questions About Catching Wild Frogs!? (PLEASE READ!)?

Me and my friends also like to catch frogs that live around us. And just like the snakes we ALWAYS PUT THEM BACK WHERE WE FOUND THEM and catch them to learn what type of species they are and take a few pictures.
I have been reading summaries about where the types of frogs that live in my state (New York) live and what type of environments they live in, and i was wondering if anyone could help me with tips on how to find/ catch frogs.
we have numerously caught the Northern Green Frog but haven't been able to find any other types!
Any tips or ideas!?
heres the website about the frogs that live near me:

http://www.nyfalls.com/wildlife/Wildlife...

the frogs that supposedly live near me are the: Eastern American Toad, Grey Tree frog, Northern Spring Peeper, Western Chorus Frog, American Bull Frog, Northern Green Frog, Wood Frog, Northern Leopard Frog, and Pickerel Frog.

Well, the easiest frogs to find would be by shore lines-- and I don't mean of popular beaches. Look around tall grasses around the shore-- but that will probably only find you common frogs.

If you're looking for different tree frogs and whatnot, take a hike through some kind of forest. Look carefully for movements where you walk. Look around big fallen trees which they would use as shelter. Last summer I did so, and found this little guy: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=w1fpya&s=5

You just need to be patient and look around different areas. If you're trying to find one particular frog, look further into their specific habitat. Just because all those frogs are in NY, doesn't mean you will find them in your exact location. Good luck frogging!
