January 23, 2012 All little girls want Barbie dolls and it's not usually a big deal but in Iran toy shops are being shut down because of the dolls. Iran has long tried to keep "Western Culture" from creeping into their country and now they are taking pretty stiff actions to deal with it.
Some women guard the contents of their handbags with their lives. Others dump them out for all the world to see in the pages of fashion and lifestyle magazines, where “What’s Inside My Bag” features are super popular. Country cutie Kellie Pickler falls into the latter group, as the singer, who will release ’100 Proof’ on Jan. 24, offered fans a peak into her pricey and studded black Burberry tote.
It’s always a dilemma whether you should try to return an unwanted gift to the store, because next Thanksgiving when your cousin visits he’s going to want to see that singing fish he thought you would like so much hanging up somewhere in your house.
Nevertheless, according to a survey by CouponCabin.com of 2,646 adults, 53 percent said it was either very likely or somewhat likely that they will return a holiday gift that they received this year.
December 27, 2011 Ah, the warm heart-felt feelings that Christmas brings upon us, you know, the "comfort and joy" cozy feelings of giving a wonderful gift to that special someone. It is said that, "it is better to give than to receive", unless we're in tough economic times, it's better to return that gift you bought and let them go without. The tougher the times the higher the return rate, and this years return rate is higher than last years. Retailers will refund over $53 billion to consumers this year. Stores will refund 9.9 cents for every dollar taken in this year, that is up from 9.8 cents last year.

Black Friday is a day where everything we gave thanks for and asked God to make us a better person at, all goes out the window. There is nothing worse than listening to women call each other names curse, claw, scratch and fight over a few items that are on sale for a few hours and for a limited few people. This was not limited to just women, it's that women were the ones I witnessed doing all the a fore mentioned and more. It appears that this "black Friday deal shopping" has become a sort of full contact sport and has men and from what I mostly saw, women using fowl and threatening language. What has happened to us? Why have we allowed a few stores to lure us into this type of "Jerry Springer mentality?"
November 19, 2011 Kindle Fire is a tablet version of their e-reader with features much like the Apple iPad. So how does it compare to other tablets in it's functions? Before you go get one for Christmas check out this video review.
November 15, 2011 Last week I reported to you that stores like Wal-Mart, Target, Macy's & Best Buy were moving up their "Black Friday" openings to Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, to get a jump on the holiday shopping season. It just seems to get earlier and earlier every year and at some point you have to fight back. That's what the employees of Target are doing now.

I grew up watching Happy Days, love, love, love the show. Now I'm buying the DVD's. They just don't make sitcoms like they used to and I miss the innocence of the show. The star of the the show was supposed to be Richie Cunningham but the "Fonz" was really became the star. Now one of the motorcycles that appeared in the show will heading to auction.
If you think breaking in a wild horse is hard, wait until you try to guide a train of speeding shopping carts around a mall.
Filmed in the Indian city of Ahmedabad, this video shows an intrepid employee of the Iscon Mega Mall wrangling several carts in a pretty creative way. Though it may look like quite a challenge (it’s hard to put away one shopping cart, let alone a few dozen) apparently this shopping cart slide happens a few times every day. Just another day at the office.
