New Work Shirts

Friday, September 28th, 2007

I recently ordered some new work shirts and a full zip hooded sweatshirt from Clothing4All.com. I wasn’t really expecting the shirts and hooded sweatshirt to be made of the quality that it was, for the low price that I paid for them. I was really impressed when I received them. I’ll be placing another order for some other clothing very soon from them.

Market Research Surveys

Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

I was walking through the mall the other day with my girlfriend and there were some people asking if anyone would be interested in participating in market research surveys. They offered twenty bucks per person to participate, so me and my girlfriend went ahead and did it. It took about 25 minutes and they paid us in cash. We usually don’t sign up for those surveys, but I’m glad we did this time.

Christmas Gift Ideas

Monday, September 24th, 2007

With the holiday season fastly approaching, it’s time to start thinking of some Christmas gift ideas. I’m thinking about picking up a photo on canvas from CanvasOnDemand.com for my girlfriends parents. I’m not sure what I want to get for my girlfriend yet. I know I’ll get her a little jewelry for sure, but I want something else to go along with it.

Ordering Office Desks

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

Some of the other office managers and I are thinking about ordering some new office desks. There isn’t really anything horribly wrong with our current office desks, they just dont look as nice as they used to look. The finish is pretty worn and half of the drawers stick. Yeah, it’s time to order some new ones for sure. Hopefully we can all agree on which ones to buy and get them ordered as soon as possible.

Buying Some New Luggage

Saturday, September 22nd, 2007

My girlfriends parents anniversary is coming up and we couldn’t figure out what to get for them. They’ve been talking about needing some new luggage for a while, so my girlfriend and I have been browsing online for different luggage sets. I think we’ve found the one to give them. It’s on LuggageSource.com and it costs around $180. That really isn’t a bad price for a good set of luggage.

PimpMyRide.com Has Nothing To Do With The Popular MTV Show

Friday, September 21st, 2007

A friend of mine online saw an advertisement for PimpMyRide.com about 6 months ago. He went to the website and found a place to sign up and apply to get his car “pimped”. After about 6 months he received the following email:

Subject: Congratulations! You’ve been selected from PimpMyRide.com

Congratulations!! You’re application has been reviewed and you have been selected!! Please follow the link provided with details on how to complete your application process and Get Pimped!

http://www.pimpmyride.com/finalistapplication.html

NOTE: If you do not follow through the final application process your spot will be given to the next most qualified applicant. Due to the large volume of requests we require a small application/processing fee.

He was excited at the mere possibility of having his car customized by the popular MTV television show. He forwarded the email to me and asked if I thought it was legitimate. When I read the email and saw that they were asking for an “application/processing fee”, it got me pretty suspicious. I checked around and apparently several people have been duped into sending money to them, in hopes of having their car fixed up and being on the MTV show. I came across a post on the consumer blog at ABC13.com titled “Houston woman finds Pimp My Ride web site has nothing to do with MTV” which can be found here: http://consumerblog.abc13.com/2007/09/houston-woman-f.html

The report explains how the PimpMyRide.com website actually works. The website is run by a company which is based out of the Caribbean island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis. The website also admits that it is in no way affiliated with MTV and claims the application/processing fee just makes the person eligible to receive discounts on auto parts and accessories.

Who knows how many people have been scammed into sending these people money. Do your friends and family a favor and pass this message on so that these scammers do not continue to make money by misleading unsuspecting people.

Vacation Homes in Orlando

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

A friend of mine recently took my advice and stayed in an Orlando vacation home. My girlfriend and I have stayed in a few different vacation homes while on various vacations in the past, but I think Orlando, Florida was our favorite place. If I could afford to take off work for a month I would probably be down there right now relaxing and enjoying the wonderful weather and people.

Hear Your Music

Friday, September 14th, 2007

I know that you spent really good money on your CD, and that you want to be able to listen to it while you’re working out, but sometimes the machines at the gym are louder than a construction zone. Thankfully, Quiet Headphones has a great selection of noise cancelling headphones and earbuds. With these you can hear the music that keeps you motivated to go that extra mile and not the guy on the treadmill next to you getting ready to have a coronary. It’s the only way I can think of to listen to my music, and once you try it out I’m sure you’ll agree.

Find The Time

Friday, September 14th, 2007

It’s not always easy to find time to get away on a vacation, but thanks to CVOA you can get a Caribbean villa rental that gives you the comfort of home on a beautiful tropical island. With their great selection of Aruba villas, not to mention their St. Martin villas, you’ll be relaxing at the beach, spending time with your family, and forgetting about all your worries. I can’t think of a better way to spend my summer vacation than on a pristine island in a beautiful Caribbean villa. Spend some time there and I think you’ll agree with me.
