Although Scrabble on Facebook isn’t new to FB users, I just started getting into it of late and I’m pretty much a Scrabble hound right now. Love the game and it’s really intriguing – you can play with your friends or any random person online. Free on FB, you can play it on your computer [...]
I see teenagers come into our store all the time and parents talk about not knowing where their kids are and what they are doing and I tell them all the time that once you give them a car to drive you have to have a gps vehicle tracking to make sure you know where [...]
Today the carpenter put up the drywalls for the basement as I was looking at WeGotPumps.com trash pump since we are thinking of putting in another bathroom in the basement. But I guess I was looking at the wrong place – although this site does tell you where to get industrial pumps for slim, wood [...]
A tablet made just for kids and covered with rubber all around it to protect the tablet from being destroyed from dropping it on the ground by your kids. Interesting but the price is not cheap either at about $233 U.S. dollars – would it be better to buy a regular tablet for you kid? [...]
Now I say everyone can use a projection alarm clock and a weather monitor – every morning – don’t you think? For about $80 – from Hammacher Schlemmer – this clock has a built in sensor that tells you the time and weather condition. I like that when I wake up in the middle of [...]
It may be near Christmas now – but the end of the year is also coming – so with some money left – I’m looking into getting the scanner software that the spouse had been talking about for ages – to reorganize my paper work for tax time. I think it would be an [...]
I could use something like that for my desk – because I’m a messy person and chuck all my stationary, pens and writing pads just about everywhere. So when I need them – they are nowhere to be found – most embarrassing if I needed to write something important about a customer’s computer. This goes [...]
Will you really ride on this kind of bike? in a suit? I can’t see myself doing it – but if you were living in a city – well – this might even be better than a car.
While not all Torontian are on human growth hormone supplements – they can now make use of the Bixi bike share program that was recently launched this week – to better their health and save the earth. We all want to be healthy and happy and one way is to boost our immune system. So [...]
The spouse sends money home every now and then to get her bills paid – like her credit cards and money for her parents – we used to get our local bank to make a bank transfer – but as you know bank transfer are expensive. So the other day – a friend who works [...]
I’m glad that business is slowly getting better for us at the store – a few years ago, we thought we might need to close the store and go out and find jobs – both the spouse and myself. Now that we are seeing an increase in loyal customer, we also need to get a [...]
I received a call from the local town council today asking if I would take in a young adult at our store – for an internship like – or rather an on the job training to earn credits for an online university degree. Interesting eh? I didn’t think that it was required – but i [...]
We’ve got quite a creative kid here. She especially loves to draw and paint and has been since she was quite young. I think she was barely a year old when she started making actual drawings, not just mindless scribbles. It took us a while to realize it at first, but after seeing the same [...]
When your kid goes to a video store and buys a “M” rated game, do you blame it on the video store owners or do you teach your kid not to lie and not to do something you don’t approve of? As a parent myself, I asked myself what i would have done in that [...]
