I’ve been reading some of the nomorerack reviews on the Internet and have been interested enough to go online to the site myself to score some nomorerack deals of my own. To be perfectly honest, I’ve been quite impressed by the prices and the entire concept; they post eight new deals every day at noon. The prices are cut-rate. And they even have what they call “insanity deals” because the prices are crazy low.
So far I have not been lucky enough to get to the website at the right time to grab up an insanity deal, but trust me on this one, I will keep going back to see if I can catch it. With a little bit of luck, I just might be able to grab one up!

Today I heard that a dear friend of mine killed himself last weekend. He got really drunk and went out on his snowmobile and parked it on the train tracks. He knew what time the train was coming; he lived near the tracks. He committed suicide by train. He was an alcoholic that had been in and out of rehab for years. I really had hoped that he would straighten his life out and quit drinking, but apparently that was not to be.

One of my favorite classes that I took in college was a business course in marketing. We learned a lot about the different types of advertising a product (or service) and for a while I was actually thinking about pursuing a career in marketing. The problem that I had with that, however, was that I could not find any local Advertising Agency to go to work for!
One day my sister talked to me about how she was starting a venture with a girlfriend that involved creating a local directory/guide to products and services directed at young and expectant mothers. They went to a lot of businesses to sell advertisements to pay for the printing and distribution of the guide. When they were finished with it she mailed a copy to me, and I was quite impressed with the job that they had done. I never did hear whether or not that turned a profit, but she has talked to me about whether or not I would like to participate in the soliciting of advertisements for another guide in a different market.
I told her that I would be willing to help her with the next one, but I’ve been waiting several months to hear exactly what it is that she would like for me to do. At this point I am not even sure what the product/service is going to be; I have a feeling that she might want to pick a different demographic, such as senior citizens retirement and health issues. Considering the aging of America, I think that would be a good idea, don’t you agree?

This is the time of year when I get tired of reruns. The weather is cold enough (and snowy enough) that I want to stay inside. I enjoy doing my crafting, but it’s also nice to watch television while I’m crafting. And yet, this is an odd time when there are no really good shows on – it’s all reruns. Last month I didn’t mind so much when all of the old Christmas shows were on – I didn’t watch any of them because I’ve seen them all so many times I get nauseous just thinking about watching them again – but I didn’t mind because I was so busy getting ready for Christmas that I just turned the television off and listened to music instead. I’ll be glad when the new season starts!

If you don’t have any resolutions for the New Year, may I suggest one? That you resolve to consider adopting a pet from an animal shelter if you can afford a pet and give it a good loving home. Many people buy pets from pet stores, or breeders because they want a purebred puppy. I don’t want to cost any purebred breeders any money, but I’d like to see these abandoned pets at the shelters find good homes! If you can’t afford or want to adopt a pet, then how about donating your used newspapers, and old bath towels to your local shelter? They can always use them for animal bedding in the shelters!
I hope you have a wonderful New Year!
