Tea Drinking

Ever since the new cafe opened its door, the spouse is changing over from drinking coffee to tea.  But designer teas from cafe/shop are quite expensive, so the spouse found  tazo chai from cw-usa  which by the way is a lot cheaper and organic too.  She loves it and wants everyone to try it, so [...]

Shopping With A Woman

Shopping Online For The Spouse

The spouse loved buying things online but she doesn’t like using her credit card – she is one of those that is afraid to get her card number stolen, so she makes me buy stuff for her online.  From groceries to  moss ball for your garden  but mostly things for the home and skin care [...]

Curtains For Basement

My basement is completed for a few months now but I still haven’t found curtains for the basement windows because most curtains around here are very long and my windows are rectangular in shape.  I have to probably look for my basement curtains online  because the spouse refuses to get them for me as she [...]

Cigar Smoking Gamers

Lately, I have a gang of gamers who loved their cigar so much, they asked if they can have cigars in the basement while they are playing.  I found out about their  daily cigar deals  from a gamer so I understand why they are smoking it so much these days.  They don’t come any cheaper, [...]

Keep Your Kids Safe

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 [...]

New Hobby For The Kid

While I loved playing games with the kid – the spouse prefers that she does creative work like clay making or beading – otherwise, she wants her to be out playing with her friends if the weather is good.  Today she wanted me to order some beads for her on the internet and I found [...]
