My Director’s Selection for this month in the [Columbia House DVD Club][1] is “Saw V (Unrated) Director’s Cut”. And they offer me three options: * Buy it now for only $19.95 * Decline it now, pay nothing * Do Nothing If they do not hear from me by 02/04/2009, the selection will automatically be sent […]
Back at the end of August, [MenuMaster][0] came out with a new version, though noted it would be free, made the following plea: > If you’ve bought Menu Master around three years ago and have never paid for it again (we’ve not charged for an update of Menu Master) we kindly ask if you wouldn’t […]
The next time I get a watch, I want one with a screw-in crown. With every watch I have ever owned, the crown will get pulled out and when the watch rubs against my arm, the date will advance until the crown gets pushed back in. And then I get confused because I have no […]

With the last year ended, I am trying to catch up on my [SHPS FSA][1] account. Luckily, our company provides us until mid-March to finish using last years money. With any lucky, SHPS will be finished all my receipts from last year by June–too late for me to do anything about them. I just got […]
[Dole][1] Fresh Makes™ has a caesar “complete salad” kit which includes everything that you need to make a caesar salad–except the directions which would explain how to mix the ingredients to actually make the salad. How useful. Even a can of chicken noodle soup (one ingredient) includes information on how to prepare it. Or maybe […]
