Nuttin' But Pimp

VoodooBuddy is certainly an interesting item!

Hubby sent me the link to the write-up on Gizmodo.com, and I thought I would share it here on this blog. Watch the video clip, it's pretty self explanatory. In my opinion it is kinda cool, and definitely creepy, which means I would probably buy one.

What do you think?

This video clip was voted the funniest European commercial in the year 2005....and it is not hard to see why!

I think that most of us who are parents can absolutely relate. Please note that the subject matter of the video can be considered mature.

Hope you are all having a great weekend. Here in Canada it is a long weekend, and I will be spending this rather overcast, and rainy Saturday shopping for prom dresses with the middle kid. Yippeeee....

It could be worse....watch the video clip.

Being urbanites we do not own a car of our own. We actually prefer the savings of public transport, and we rely on rentals for weekend getaways etc. The freedom, and ability offered by a good rent a car service can save you a ton of cash $$$$$, and I thought I'd give my fave peeps the scoop on the Advantage.com car rental website.

Firstly, I LOVE Advantage because it is committed to going green, and my own money always goes to those companies that are working towards a better environment.

However, there are other good reasons that you should surf on over, and check them out. They have some very good bargains on cheap, cheap, car rentals, goodly terms, and their site is very easy to use. They even offer a special program for people like us that can be considered frequent renters. How cool is that?!

If you are planning on renting a car in the near future, or want some further info just give some clicky love to the linkys I have added in for you.

And to my Canadian peeps, have a great long weekend!!!

Cheers!

According to news reports, the Canadian federal government will soon publish its recommendations for the second batch of chemicals that have undergone a safety review as part of the chemicals management plan.

The 16 chemicals have been used in things such as chewing gum, baby bottle nipples, silicone gel implants, shaving creams, lipstick, paints, waxes, sealants, drugs, textiles and linoleum.

Some are suspected cancer-causing substances and reproductive toxins.

A toxic declaration would start the process that could lead to a ban in certain products, like Bisphenol-A in baby bottles.

Health Canada may have to reverse a decision made two years ago to allow women to get silicone implants if key chemicals found in them are declared toxic.

In regards to the latter I was honestly very surprised when I read that they had been allowed again after so many women suffered adverse health because of these.

Good morning my peeps!

I have been rather busy this morning checking out a website that offers its users the opportunity to learn more about, and apply for a Business Cash Advance.

Let us start off this review of the website with a screen shot of the company's main page.

Merchant Resources International offers business cash advances to merchants that process credit cards as a form of payment with a small percentage going back as a fee for services. It is not to be confused with a business loan website.

As you can hopefully see from the screen capture above the website is designed to be user-friendly by being simplistic, and not overly flashy something that I personally prefer.

Information that might be required by the user is easily accessed right from the main page through the FAQs. These FAQs include business requirements needed in order to be accepted.

Overall I was impressed by the level of information provided, client support listed, and ease of the application form. In my opinion it is worth checking out further.

If you would prefer to listen to a pre-recorded message that highlights this service you may do so by calling this phone number +18006910152

Cheers!

Mama was right! It really does pay to shop around....

On Mother's Day I picked up a really cool new Canon scanner/printer/photocopier for around $50 bux, which for what I was getting was a very good bargain. The scanner requires a USB cable, and since I did not have a spare I thought I'd buy one from Future Shop. I asked a sales clerk at the store for one, and he brought one back with a price tag that read almost as much as the scanner! Wrong I said! And the snippy salesman said that is what they cost. Again, I said no way, and left the store.

Later that day I dropped by my local Dollarama, a dollar or one buck store as they are also called, and picked up a USB cable that works perfect with the scanner for less than 7 bux.

It pays to shop around.....in this case around thirty dollars worth!

Cheers!

Ok these Liquid Force wakeboards are the coolest! Here in T.O each summer we have a wakeboard fest on the islands that also includes concerts by local bands etc. It is a lot of fun, and something that my 21 year old is very much into, which is why I know so much about it..

I was checking out modernskate.com, and saw the Diva Wakeboard, which I know Little Sue would really like. I'm going to pass on the linkage to her as the price is an outstanding value in my opinion.

Sweet eh! Just give some clicky love to that wakeboard to get more info. If that ain't exactly what you are looking for check them out for a goodly selection on wakeboards, with fast secured shipping, and multiple payment options. Gift certificates are available.

Hey my peeps!

On Monday I spent a fair bit of time thrift shopping something I actually do quite often. I found some amazing deals that have inspired me to start up a sub category on this site devoted to reusing, and recycling products, something that I personally strongly believe in.

In the coming weeks watch out for a lot more articles and entries related to second-hand shops, online auctions, and that fave Spring pastime of mine yard sailing!!!

Cheers!

Car Loans are the speciality of an online web source for auto financing that I was checking out a bit earlier in the day. The site is super no-nonsense, and gives you the scoop on everything you need to know, and apply for new car loans, used car loans, refinancing etc. They are the experts.

The site is easy to use, and navigate making finding the right info for your needs, and circumstances easy peasy! You can check it by giving some clicky love to the link I have added in, and you'll see what I mean. Pass the site along to anyone you might know that is currently looking for a car loan, and save them some hassles.

Workers accused of theft or damage could soon find themselves blacklisted on a register to be shared among employers. It will be good for profits but campaigners say innocent people could find it impossible to get another job.

Here is a snippet from the BBC:

To critics it sounds like a scenario from some Orwellian nightmare.

An online database of workers accused of theft and dishonesty, regardless of whether they have been convicted of any crime, which bosses can access when vetting potential employees.

But this is no dystopian fantasy. Later this month, the National Staff Dismissal Register (NSDR) is expected to go live.

Organisers say that major companies including Harrods, Selfridges and Reed Managed Services have already signed up to the scheme.

What could possibly go wrong?....dripping sarcasm.... This is a dumb idea in my opinion. Who can honestly say that they have never worked for anyone that could for whatever reason abuse such a thing. Without an actual criminal charge this is wide open to abuse by less that ethical employers.

My Mama always says that it pays to save, and since she has gained financial freedom at retirement age with a paid off house too boot I think it is pretty wise to listen up to what she has got to say!

I had the opportunity to check into the WaMu Savings Account earlier today, and thought I would share what I have learned about it, and pass along my own thoughts to you.

Here is a screen shot:

Firstly the site is well designed, and very user friendly. They offer their customers convenient, free online banking 24/7 that includes free electronic statements. Cool!

They offer some other pretty cool benefits in my opinion, and these include an overdraft transfer service, which will help to eliminate the possibility of a bounced cheque. They also offer easy access to ATMs around the country.

If you are thinking about opening up an online savings account you might just want to get more detailed information on a WaMu account. You can do so by clicking on the linky I have added in for your convenience above. You can also give them a toll-free call at +18007887000 in order to speak directly with one of their customer service reps. The application process only takes a short few minutes.

Happy Savings!
