Welcome to Something for Nothing

With the latest Contaminated Dog Food scandal I am sure many people have sick animals or have lost their trusted companion. It is not easy to watch our pets suffer. They are a huge part of our families and we want to do whatever we can to help them. My dog, Pumpkin just died recently. She was a member of our family for 15 years. We miss her dearly. I wish I had known of some of the products found at petwellbeing.com. We could have helped her feel more comfortable with her arthritis or helped her terribly bad breath. There are even more amazing products such as ES Clear - Cat Cancer Treatment . It claims to reduce the growth of tumors and boost your pets immune system. For all pet lovers out there I am sure it brings comfort to know that someone is working on helping your pets live long healthy lives.

It’s always nice as a pet owner to know where you can get other products. A whole cottage industry has grown up around pet products. You can do just about anything for your pet that you could do for your child. In fact, in some ways you can do more for your pets than your children. Considering that some people consider their pets their children I guess it makes some sense. I think it’s great that so many great products are available for pets that have been available for humans for many years. I think in the next couple years you’re going to see a bunch of new products that continue to revolutionize the pet products industry. Maybe I should consider changing industries.

My son likes to watch Caillou on PBS. I hate it. I don’t usually let him watch it because I don’t want the show to teach him bad things. The show is about a 4 year old boy names Caillou and he whines and throws fits like normal 4 year olds. But I don’t want my kid to get any more ideas on how to be annoying.

One show had Caiilou getting out of bed a thousand times asking for a cup of water or to use the bathroom. He said he was afraid of monsters, he needed to read some more books and lots more. All I could think of is my child does none of things just yet so please don’t teach him to do them.

So Caillou is banned at my house. I will stick to Curious George and Clifford. That way if he learns something bad from those shows I can tell him only Monkeys and Big Red Dogs are allowed to act that way.

Cell phones are everywhere. Every where you go people are talking on their phones. In the store, at restaurants, in the car and yes some crazy people even talk on them while they are going to the bathroom.

When choosing a cell phone you have so many options. There are a lot of different phone companies out there. There are a lot of different plans. And there are a lot of different styles of phones. How do you choose which is the best for your buck?

The problem I have when choosing a cell phone is finding one that is a good deal. Luckily, Sprint cell phones just came out with some new deals, where you are sure to be able to find a deal perfect for you.

My problem with cell phones is finding one that is reliable. And when I say reliable I mean one that works everywhere I want-even in the bathroom if I so choose. I don’t want to have to stand behind my refrigerator every time I make a call. Isn’t the purpose to be able to take the phone with you everywhere you go-even in your own home? So ask your friends which service they use and if they are happy with it. Some services work better in some areas. Choose the best one for where you live.

Once you find a good plan all that is left is picking out the perfect looking phone. There are so many choices that will help your phone stand out from all the rest. And then you just pick a cool ring tone so you know when 500 cell phones are going off in the movie theater whether it is yours or not.

How come the batteries you want to last a long time never last enough? And then the batteries you would just wish they would hurry up and die never do?

My digital camera always needs new batteries. It is annoying. But the my sons annoying toys seem like they are the energizer bunny and just keep going and going. Today he was playing with one of his Thomas trains that if you turn on goes all by itself. Stupid idea. The thing went all by itself under my couch. I could hear it’s annoying sound for an hour. I was just hoping that the batteries would just die. And they never did. I finally had to move the couch-not an easy task in a cramped two bedroom apartment. I found all sorts of toys and still couldn’t reach the stupid train. Finally I found it. And shut it off. Annoying.

There are toll free numbers for so many things. There are toll free numbers to get help with your homework, to get help if you have been abused and to get help if you have been raped. And now there is finally is a toll free number you can call if you are addicted to drugs and need help. Drug addiction is a non profit organization that addicts or those who know addicts can call and get referrels to drug rehab centers. The best part is it is free. You do not have to pay for the phone call and you don’t have to pay for their services.

Yesterday, I needed to go to Sams Club and pick up enough food to feed 100. Do you know how much food it takes to feed 100 people? A lot. Our Youth group is going to feed the homeless today. And they will be eating well. I was amazed at how full my cart was a how cheap it actually came out to. I only had to pay $120 for plates, cups, forks, knives, lemonade, salad, dressing, croutons, rolls, green beans and brownies. This is why I love Sams Club. You can get a lot of stuff for a lot less money. Of course I see good bargains and then spend too much money. One of my favorite parts about shopping at Sams is eating at their food court afterwards. Yesterday they seemed a little slow and they didn’t have many condiments out for my hot dog but usually it is very good. I just love Sams. It is worth the $40 yearly membership.
