If you've got kids, then you've got batteries. Lots of batteries. If not, then, well, you've probably got piles of non-working toys and a screaming-around-the-clock kid. We go through batteries like water in our house (and we drink a fair amount of water, y'know). Well, now's the perfect time to stock up on batteries, thanks Continue Reading

29JunBeware the non-parells
So yesterday was our 9-year wedding anniversary. Normally we don't do much on our anniversary except go out to a nice dinner. No cards or presents. At least we really haven't the past few years since having kids. But of course I had to get wifey something she's been craving for months... a Cuisinart Soft Continue Reading
28JunCheck out my Highlights… magazine, that is
Some of my earliest memories of life are sitting in the quite sterile waiting room of our dentist's office. I must've been 6 or 7 I'd guess. The walls were pretty bare, just white with a few boring paintings hung up. Chairs were red cushioned and then a few tiny yellow plastic ones for kids. Continue Reading
28JunArtists, save your ears and save 20%
You don't need to cut off any body parts to become a famous artist. You just need to practice. A lot. Oh, and you need lots of paint and paper or canvas or something to write on. And if you're as bad an artist as I am, you'll need a LOT of materials. Good thing Continue Reading
26JunBeauty is only skin deep… but how deep is that?
Okay, so beauty is only skin deep. We got that. But exactly how deep IS skin anyways? If you're overweight, is your skin thicker? If so, then the heavier you are, the more beautiful you are, right? Yeah, biology was never my strong suit. So let's move on and save some money on beauty products: Continue Reading
26JunDiet is “Die” with a T
Okay, I can't take credit for that one. I'll admit it and give props to Garfield. Yes, Garfield, the lasagna-eating, fat, lazy cartoon cat. I remember seeing that on a book or pin or something when I was younger and just thought it was pretty darn funny. Seeing as how it's officially summer and the Continue Reading
26JunRadio killed the Video Star
Actually, these days I think it's MTV that killed the video star, seeing as how they never show videos anymore... But just a quick note to show off the fact that we're currently spreading across radio airwaves nationwide. Woop! Sure, you may have to be listening in the middle of the night, but in case Continue Reading
25JunHP = Hungry Platypus or Happy Promotion?
I don't know what made me think of it, but Hewlett-Packard just doesn't sound as fun as Happy Platypus does it? And speaking of platypuses (heh, say that 3 times out loud), the male platypus actually has a small venomous barb on the back of its hind paw. There's your obscure mammal fact for the Continue Reading
25JunEven pets like coupons
It's true. Go ask your dog what he thinks about coupons. Or your cat. She's probably a big fan. Fish? Not so much. But now you can save a few bucks on your next pets purchase at Petco thanks to these 2 handy dandy coupons: $5 off any size order at Petco.com Use the above Continue Reading
22JunThere’s no “T” in China
What's the worst part of marriage? Wait, let me rephrase that. What's the worst part about planning the wedding? No, not the anticipation, the sweats, the worry, writing the vows, manipulating the seating chart like a carefully planned military operation so Aunt Ethel isn't sitting anywhere near Uncle Jack... Uh uh. The absolute most-painful, horrific, Continue Reading
21JunJames Bond with a broom?
Yeah yeah, this post's title is a bit of a stretch, but I like to think of it more as a "what-the-heck-kind-of-coupon-or-deal-is-Andrew-trying-to-tell-us-this-time" kind of game. Okay, okay. I'm talking about spies (i.e. 007 or my personal favorite #6 from "The Prisoner" or DangerMan for you real loyalists) and sweeping. Or more specifically in this case, Continue Reading
