Deborah Norville's The Power of Respect: Benefit From the Most Forgotten Element of Success was a smash hit in my opinion. Her approach to educating others about how powerful a force that respect is was simply amazing. The entire book is compiled of short 1-2 pages stories of how celebrities like Oprah and even common people in the work force have used respect to build their business and ma...

Because of some bad credit history thanks to the Federal Education Department opening a bank account has been one heck of a task for me in the past few years. All banks now days want to run credit checks before allowing you to put your own money into their bank and with a low credit score there just isn't many banks that will give you the time of day.After reading on the internet about Firs...

I've done more then my share of insurance company hoping since I received my drivers license way back in 1999, but since finding Safe Auto my hopping has stopped. I had always seen there commercials on TV advertising super low rates and excellent claims service but honestly thought it was all lies. Six months ago after a drastic increase in the amount owed to keep me insured with my ol...

I'm not one to rush out to buy a new computer ever other year just to have the recent upgrades in develeopment. I'm more of a frugal technology shopper who only needs a computer for simple reasons. 3 years ago I purchased the Compaq Evo N610c from an Ebay seller who had refurbished the item for a bargain of $400 and that included shipping. After Fedex initially lost the package and 2 we...

I love playing flash games and one of my favorite places to do so as at Shockwave. This morning I was looking for something to do to kill some time and saw they had a flash game listed called 'Zohan's Super Spa' which is suppose to be about the character from the new Adam Sandler movie. I really like these types of games so I gave it a go, but was very disappointed.The overall game ...

Our precious ferret had to go to the vet for a check up last October and while paying for the vet bill I noticed a display of candles on the counter that were only sold by vets. There were several scents available of the Pet Odor Exterminator Candle and after sniffing each one I decided to purchase the Pumpkin and Spice scent to mask the notoriously stinky odor of having a ferret in the house.I...

I'm not much for using furniture polish, but after I got my new dining room set I decided I should start using it to keep everything looking  just like it did on the show room floor.I never realized there were so many different furniture polish products on the markets until I actually went looking to buy some. It didn't help that I had gotten 10 different recommendations from frien...

My quest for the perfect bedding for the bedrooms in my home seem never ending. I have purchased countless sets only to have them unravel at the seams after a couple of washes or the fabric to peel so bad they look as if they are 10 years old. I finally broke down and visited Pottery Barn and paid double what I normally would for bedding at Walmart. I can tell you, I am glad that I did. My Pott...

We all know at least one mother totally obsessed with Gymboree clothing or in fact may be one ourselves. I know I am! The same company that brings you the great styles and quality of Gymboree now have a new clothing name on the market called Crazy 8. Upon initial launch of the clothing I was a bit skeptical that it was of the same quality as all the Gymboree items I have purchased in the last f...

The time finally came that we just had to break down and buy a new cordless phone. Our old one was on its death bed and couldn't last any longer. Off we went in search of a phone that would have all the features we needed when we stumbled across a model on clearance at Walmart. So, we decide to take the chance with it since it had two handsets and loads of extra features with it. This Unide...

Choosing a new vacuum cleaner for me is sometimes a tough task. There are just so many on the market that range from cheap to down right ridiculously expensive. I usually try to aim in the cheaper area since I have far better things I can spend my money on then a vacuum cleaner with 1500 attachments and 5 of them the only ones I would actually use. I had never owned a Dirt Devil until I bought ...

Since the first Ab Lounge hit the market in television informercials it was at the top of my list of excercise equipment to try out. Two kids and a lot of unhealthy eating a few years later I finally decided to try out the new Ab Lounge Sport a dear friend of mine recieved for Christmas. I have to say that you feel the effects in only minutes. That burning sensation in your abs letting you know...

Our filing cabinet always stays crammed full of junk no matter how often you clean and organize.  I was so tired of losing my coupons down in the folders when someone else would rummage through the files looking for other things. How am I suppose to save any money if I can't find my coupons?I was searching for a simple and cheap solution for my problem when I came across the Mainstays ...

My daughter is VERY picky about her hair even at the ripe old age of 6!  We have tried many different types of shampoo, from cheap to expensive and from baby to adult. Nothing ever quite seems to satisfy this child. One of her major issues is the scent of any bath product she uses. Some of the more overly scented shampoos irritate her allergies and others cause her scalp to itch. Shampoo s...

Last summer I burned through 4, count them, 4 pairs of flip flops. One pair was chewed apart by the dog, another became so dirty I couldn't wash them clean, another fell apart and the final pair hurt my feet.I was determined to spare no expense and find a pair for this summer that would last so I began my hunt as soon as summer shoes hit store shelves everywhere.I stumbled into American Eag...

Being from Kentucky, basketball is a way of life here. We are trained from birth to be hardcore Cat fans no matter what. It's just how it is here.Being the huge UK fan that I am a purse showing off my team seemed like a logical choice when shopping for a new handbag.The local mall here has a small store called Catbird Seat which carries nothing but UK and Louisville merchandise. I've bo...

Since junior high school a calculator was a big part of learning mathematics especially when it came to algebra related tasks or anything else for that matter past the point of basic math schools. It has always been my weakest subject as well so a calculator has always been like a life line to me in that sense. I started using Scientific calculators in high school and somehow managed to learn t...

Most any child will tell you they LOVE their Flinstone vitamins, even I did as a child. It was the only kind I would take.
