Great price – Free!

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Is it even possible to fall in love with a website? Well, having just ordered some FREE toe warmers from nomorerack.com I have to say the answer to that question is YES! Here’s the scoop: my sister sent me an email about how she heard on television about a bargain website called nomorerack. This website offers great products at ridiculously low prices, for a very limited time.

Well of course I had to check it out for myself, and within a matter of seconds I was a registered user of the website and ordered myself a set of FREE toe warmers! As a matter of fact my toes happen to be freezing right now, sitting at my computer and I have two pairs of socks on! Seems to me that the only time my feet are ever warm is the month of July!

Anyway, back to the bargain website – I was looking all around and it appears that every day there are new offers put out on the website. The great deals are only offered for one day. The next day presents the shoppes with new merchandise to choose from. Apparently there are limited numbers on the products, because several of the deals that I saw on the website were already sold out.

There are some buttons on the website that you can click on to see past deals, and a button to click on that calls itself “insanity deals.” Apparently with the “insanity deals” the website displays a very short term crazy deal that has such a low price that it seems obvious that the website is using it as what is known in the retail business as a “loss leader.”

One of the “insanity deals” that I certainly wish I had seen when it was offered was for a Kindle Touch for under $20! My husband and I were just talking last weekend about whether to purchase an e-book reader or not. We are a little bit reluctant because the price seems to be a little bit steep for our budget right now. Another great insanity deal was for a Canon camera worth over $400 on sale for less than $20 as well! I am definitely going to have to bookmark this website and check it out every day to see what bargains can be had!

Teslas electric sports car

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

This cool car company called Tesla Motors has made a totally electric sports car that can go from 0 to 60 in less then 4 seconds and has a top speed of over 125 miles per hour.

On a fully charged battery the car can operate for about 3 and a half hours and runs on no fuel whatsoever, making it a zero emissions car.

its a really great looking car, and if you have solar panels installed at home it costs you nothing to recharge the battery, so you will never have to pay for gas or to charge the cars battery.

The price tag on this car is at $100,000 per car, but is well worth every penny in my opinion because of the looks and the features and the huge potential savings on fuel.

New Hobby for DH

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

For years we have been sharing one computer for the whole household. But with DH home so much now, we thought it would be good to get a second PC.

DH announced today that he has decided to try his hand at building our new computer from a kit that he bought online from a website specializing in PC Kits. DH has always been handy with tools, so I am impressed that he is going to try his hand at building our computer.

Real Men Wear Pink

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

I love how each October so many good folks do so many good thing for breast cancer awareness. I went into my favorite lunch restaurant and was tickled to see some of the guys working there wearing pink shirts and/or pick hats, wearing them proudly, which I think is such a turn on and a delight. Back in the day any man that would wear anything pink would have been harassed something fierce.

I remember working at an office back when I was nineteen. My boss walked in wearing a new pink shirt and I complimented him on how nice that pink shirt looked on him and I was told by another office employee that I should never say that a man wears anything pink, that I should refer to it as a “light red” shirt.  LOL

Anyway, it seems that there are more and more breast cancer awareness products being offered to the general public and I would love to find something that I could feel good about wearing to help support this worthy cause. Good thing I look good in pink!

Redecorating guest bedroom soon

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

A few weeks ago my SIL sent us a gift from where she is stationed overseas – a very beautiful burgundy & gold tablecloth.  I couldn’t figure out where to put it for a while, but it eventually ended up in the guest bedroom.  Now I need to re-do the window treatment to make the room look nicer.
