Buy it! Sell it!

| It is said that "truth in advertising" is a myth. However, I do not totally agree with that statement. One of my favorite commercials is also one of the most honest and truthful commercials I have ever seen. It is an eBay commercial. There is a man working in a department store, and a woman asks for something and he begins to sing about a... - CONTINUED | |

Ecards -R- Easy!
by Nathan O'Neel full story | top |
|
Electronic greeting cards (e-cards) are one of the nicest and easiest ways to keep in touch, say Hi, or acknowledge special occasions. So...when thinking of that special someone there are a lot of websites to visit for just the right e-card. (I have included a few links at the end). Some offer free trials and then a small subscription fee afterwards. At BMI, we offer a free e-card service to our customers! Take a look: Free BMI e-card
E-cards are as simple to use as sending an email. And it is much easier than going to the store, selecting a card from racks of choices, bringing it home, addressing it, and sending it; not to mention it is instant...you don't have to wait days for it to arrive at it's destination! 123 Greeting Yahoo American Greetings Blue Mountain Greetings (This site is often confused with BMI. As much as we would like to take credit for it, it is not ours!) | |

Reading on the Move
by Carol Hall full story | top |
| I love the "escape" reading a good story brings! I have always enjoyed reading, and do not remember a time that I did not. In today's world, however, it seems like our lives continually get busier and busier and there is less and less time for that "escape". Over the last few years, I found myself reading for enjoym... - CONTINUED | |
