My brother gave me a great new pair of gloves that he says he got from the 511 tactical website. This website sells police gear and clothes and accessories. These particular gloves that he gave me were designed to be cut and slash resistant for police work, but I am going to be using them as heavy duty work gloves. I’m really hard on work gloves; I’ve never had a pair of work gloves last more than a couple of months! So I’ll be curious to see how these work out for me!
Paul Newman was one of my all time favorite actors, and I was very sorry to hear that he passed away yesterday. When I was quite young I really enjoyed watching several films that he was in, and I admired the fact that he had created the food brand Newman’s Own that donated so much money to charity. He was one of the “good guys” that wasn’t all stuck up on himself. Yes, he will be dearly missed.
One of my clients asked me if there are any websites that allows the consumer to review other websites. She told me that she found a website that she found very offensive and she wanted to Write a Website Review stating her opinion of that website. I told her that there is a new website called talkreviews.co.za that has been created to do exactly that, but it is still in the infancy stage and at this point the website focuses mostly on the Top South African Websites. I know the intent is to expand and review websites around the world, and I think that is a good idea. So if you are interested in reading a review, or writing a review, I’d encourage you to go to that site and check it out.
Several years ago the “big hype” was about how people who are concerned about their health should eat bagels for breakfast. Somehow bagels were considered to be “good for you.” The only way I could ever enjoy eating a bagel was if it was loaded up with cream cheese. I have to admit that the fat free cream cheese on the market is very tasty, so that health issue of too much fat in cream cheese is a moot point in this post. Fat free cream cheese on a bagel tastes pretty good. But I have noticed that it is very hard to get a nice soft bagel - most of them are about as hard as a rock! And to be honest, I really don’t enjoy eating rocks! And I’ve noticed that every time I eat a bagel, when I go look at myself in a mirror and smile there is a ton of bagel and cream cheese smiling back at me, stuck between my teeth! Not a pretty sight!
I much prefer eating muffins - they are softer and easier to eat and require no cream cheese. And muffins do not get stuck between my teeth! So if the choice is between a bagel or a muffin, give me a muffin! Unless, of course it is a crummy bran muffin that tastes terrible. I ilke lemon poppy seed muffins, or cranberry orange muffins the best!
I really enjoy going to different trade shows and collecting the Business Promotional Items that the vendors give away. I especially like the ones that serve a practical purpose, such as pens or pencils, fly swatters, pot holders, can cozies, or bottle openers. I think that there are way too many keychain “gimmees” out there though…..
The gimmees.com website sells a large variety of customizable gimmees that are very reasonably priced. I am most impressed by the selection of items that they sell that are made from recycled products! One of my favorite gimmees on their site, and very reasonably priced are the drawstring backpacks that have becomg so popular among college kids nowadays. I think that would be a very good promotional item to order!
