Lamp Quest

During our re-design of our home I wanted to brighten up our dining room with new lamp shades. I was able to find a bunch of cream silk chandelier shades at Lowe’s at Lamps Plus for $3-$6. But a pair of table lamp shades proved harder to do.

After shopping through dozens of websites and stores I finally decided I should look into either re-covering them or using different shaped shades all together.

How Charter Cable Messed Up and T- Mobil Saved the Day

Setting up a new home isn’t easy. Especially if you run a business out of your home.
Our internet server in both locations is Charter Cable.  We ordered new service at the new house to start on the 11th and keep our old connection open through the end of January at our old house. Essentially two accounts open at the same time for a two week period.

When I read that Sears was starting a Christmas Club Card to help their shoppers save to afford the Holiday shopping, I just had to laugh.

Good Service Always Pays Off

This last weekend had me running around searching for sheet music and a book my daughter needed for Musical Theatre camp at 9am Monday morning. I totally forgot about it until the very last minute. What followed was an eye opener of how valuable good service can be.

The Scoop on the Mike and Chris Liquidation Sale

Often when I am researching sales, I post after I have talked to someone who can give me the details of the sale. I am especially cautious if I hear about a sale from an obscure/ unknown source.
The Mike & Chris liquidation Sale has been going on at various levels & locations for several months now. This bank ordered liquidation has been averaging savings of 50%-70% for several months. A good sale with good quality at a great price.

The Mattress Industry Problem

The mattress industry has changed dramatically within the last twenty years. The big companies control the industry and their reputations were built up ions ago. They have through marketing ploys, deceptions and advertising gimmicks convinced us that something that is cheaper has value. When did the public become so stupid?
