While searching on the web this morning for a grocery list that I could download or print out, I came across this little corner of the web.  Cozi is a site that allows you to organize your family and personal life, free.  Grocery lists, customizable lists, family journal, schedules, etc.  You can sync with Outlook [...]

Those of you who are like me and are in the customer service field know that it can be a stressful and demanding job.  We had an infomral meeting the other day at work that discussed how to provide exceptional customer service and I wanted to share the main points with you.

While surfing around this morning I discovered possibly the most geekiest mini-fridge on the face of the planet.  Apparently, this item was a give away from a 7-11 contest celebrating the release of Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones.  Rumor has it that there were only 1000 of these made, which makes it a rare [...]

You can buy a star or buy a plot on the moon (Neither of these are legal by the way), but did you know you can deposit $10 and, when time travel is perfected, be retrieved moments before your death and taken to the future?
That’s exactly what the Time Travel Fund promises.  Deposit $10 and [...]
