What deals did you get?

Did you think that the economy discouraged shoppers to get out there?

Any interesting stories out there? The only one I have (because I stay away from crowds and spending money) is there was a lady at Best Buy on Wednesday, starting the line. She was telling us that she was going to do shifts with some friends….even through Thanksgiving day! I wonder if it was worth it.

Thanksgiving Turkey Questions

November 20, 2009 · Filed Under Current News · Comment 

We are doing the Thanksgiving turkey dinner at our home this year.

I just have two questions:

  • Where are you getting your turkey?
  • Can you really taste the difference between a Butter Ball turkey vs. any other turkey?

Send me your comments.

Board Games are making a comeback

July 11, 2009 · Filed Under Current News · 2 Comments 

Recently I read an article by CNN stating that board games are making a comeback into homes. Board games may be the ancient past time hobby in comparison to high-tech video games. Yet the awe-inspiring video games are becoming harder and harder to fit into family budgets. Just because budgets are tight, that doesn’t mean entertainment is out the window. Families are now purchasing less-expensive entertainment (Monopoly, Clue, etc.) to entertain little ones. Honestly this change may just be a change for the better. Instead of young ones staring at violent video games, they are now playing classic board games with parents, sibling, or hopefully the entire family. This may just lead an increase to family time, and give the television a much needed break. To read the full article : money.cnn.com

Bing, the new search engine

July 8, 2009 · Filed Under Current News · Comments Off 

I recently saw a commercial for bing, this new and improved search engine that was supposedly launched by Microsoft. I was curious to take a look at this new site, and was quite satisfied.

I am always intrigued with new search engines who try to compete with Google, Oh the all-knowing google. I give brownie points to those who try to compete. To my appeal the Bing search engine has scenic images all around the world, which captured my attention. Anyways take a look Bing

School is just right around the corner..

July 7, 2009 · Filed Under Current News · 1 Comment 

I know school is the last thing on everyones mind, but it slowly is approaching.

Start the school year off right with the proper materials and the right mind set. Plan on how to keep oneself (or onselves children) on track, organized, and not rushing around last minute to gather supplies. Keep in mind what needs to be done, purchased, and gathered. A great way to collect all the ideas together is to create a list of supplies, clothing, books, etc.

Another great reason to plan ahead is to avoid the rush and the prices. By knowing ahead of time what needs to be purchased, you can keep an eye out for deals and bargains. Try the Back-to-school department of Office Depot: office depot.com
