Like throwing money down the toilet

For my birthday last month my mother bought me an “Infinity Razor.”  She bought it at her favorite drugstore in the aisle where they sell the “As seen on TV” junk items.  She was excited to give it to me because she thought that it would be a great way to save money for me.  It claims to stay “new blade sharp” and that it will be “the last razor you’ll ever buy!”

Well, I gave it a try, and the blade was a dull as a ball of dryer lint.  If you are thinking about buying one of these things, my advice to you is, don’t waste your money.  I recently found a blog on the Internet that was discussing this same product and there were many comments about the product, and it seemed to me that the general consensus was the same.  One of the comments wrote that they tried to return the item and was told that it was only returnable if it had not been used!  So I’m not even going to try to return mine, I’m just throwing it away and chalking it up to one more way the consumer has been cheated.  Maybe I should send a note about this to the local television news lady who does special stories on rip-offs!

A new bargain website

Have you been reading all of the rave nomorerack reviews on the Internet lately? This is a bargain shopping website that has got to be seen to be believed. My wife was telling me that she found and purchased several nomorerack bargains a couple of days ago and she was as pleased as a pig in a mud bath.

To be honest I had not heard of the website until my wife told me about it, and she found out about it from our son, who bought a few things from it to use for Christmas gifts. Isn’t it amazing how parents learn a lot of things from their own kids? I don’t know how our son heard about it, I guess from one of his friends or co-workers. Regardless, in the spirit of making every penny count, this is a great website to check out when you are thinking about having to buy presents for people; they have great merchandise at cut-rate prices.

Thanksgiving Weekend

This guest post from Werner Rogers

The Thanksgiving weekend is one of the biggest of our whole year and this year was no different. They started this thing called Small Business Saturday and that really drove a lot of people out to the store which I was really appreciative of that. Thank goodness a few weeks ago I went to www.bank-card-processing.com and had cleaned up the back room to make way for all the extra shipments we got in but you know, I guess that’s all part of the crazy days around the holidays. Business is still booming right before Christmas and I’m thankful for that and all the time I’ve had to prepare. My store is doing well despite the economy and I think that’s something to be proud of so you know, I’m going to keep on keeping on, as my dad would say. I think at this point I know what makes a successful entrepreneur and that’s all that really matters for me. Life is good as it stands and it’s only looking to get better at this point!

The baby is back

I saw on the news that the statue of the baby Jesus that was stolen a few days ago has been found and recovered. Apparently the thief had posted on Facebook that she had it, and posted pictures of it on Facebook! Someone on her “friend” list notified the police and the police recovered it. Just exactly why the thief thought it would be a good idea to post of Facebook that they had the stolen statue is something I’ll never know. How dumb can a person be?

I like to read other people’s blogs

One thing that I’ve been doing lately is spending more time on the Internet, reading other people’s blogs.  My sister sent me a bunch of  links to her favorite blogs to read, and I’ve been reading them.  It really is very interesting and fun to see what other people are up to, what they are thinking and writing about.  I’ve even left a few comments on some of the blogs that I’ve read here and there.  I’ve also found some interesting sites about nature and science and news.  I think I could easily spend most of my day on the Internet, just reading and absorbing all of the awesome information that is out there!  I find myself clicking on links, clicking on more links, clicking on more links and before long I realize that I can’t even to remember what the first article was that I was reading about!  Very entertaining!
