Yes! they love it! the atv he was looking at is not a new one - thank God! else i don’t know many banks we have to rob - hahah! But the spouse and the outlaws all love their rides - but you can’t really blame them - because if you know how much land the outlaws has - you will understand why they love to ride wild in the forest. Luckily for me - he doesn’t go running out and get a new atv every year - like some fishermen that we have here do.
I’ve been on one - for one ride that belonged to the outlaws - and yes - it was fun but dirty - because the spouse insisted on going into swamps - full of flies and dirty water. Their idea of fun is getting really dirty. But he keeps a look out for a good price for a used ATV and read a lot on magazines on them too. But boys will be boys - so i let him be - as long as he doesn’t go running out and get one new ATV every time a new model comes out.
Why do parents or grandparents insist on buying new systems for their kids when you can get them just as good from a used game store? or even games - games are like $80 for the good ones - therefore, i never get my kids or the spouse any new games - i tell them to wait a bit and get a used one which is a lot cheaper and if you can wait even longer - you can even get it at half price. Find a good and reliable used game store in your town and you can find treasures there. The games and systems work just as good - all our systems and games are used and we never have a problem with them and if we do - we bring them back for a good buffing and it’s all set to go. Plus with a used game store - once you are done with the games or wanna upgrade to another console - you can also get in-store credit for them. Never go to big game store like EB games or GameStop - try your locally owned used game store because they are usually a lot fairer in trades. Good luck all!
Bathroom wasn’t as pretty as this when i was growing up, you could say that I yearned for a modern bathroom like this as soon as I could afford to buy my own house. You would think that the bathroom is the least to worry about when you buy a home but it’s not true - it’s just as important. The technical aspect of having a good toilet - can save you lots of headache and trouble in the near future. We looked at the Saniflo toilet and the range the offered online plus there were rebates for many models too. One advise is the pump that one is buying - they are all made different - so make sure you check it out - i was told about this by my designer friend. You don’t want to have to unplugged your toilet bowl all the time - not only is it unhygienic, it is too time consuming. Love good looking bathrooms - but the functionality is just as important if you asked me.
I can’t resist things on sale - and i’ve always wanted to get a Graphic Tablet for the kids - since they love drawing so much. $54.39 after using this code from Apartment Therapy (w/ code SCHOOL15) - @ Super Biiz. I remember selling our first Wacom tablet for more than a few hundred dollars to the ex-employee - ouchh! So i hear you asking what is with this Graphic Tablet?
This graphi tablet is not only useful for those who loves to draw anime - it can be use as a mouse, and write on it to be transferred into your Word program or Open office and jsut about any PDF documents. You can have handwritten notes and do your sketches and doodle for children and this product is compatible with Windows and Mac and only require a USB port to power up. If you use the Adobe Photoshop you are all set but if you don’t - no worries - i hear it is compatible with a lot of drawing programs. If you have been eyeing to buy a tablet - this is the time - how can you go wrong with something less than $60 ! I’ve read so many good reviews about it - if you are someone with the tablet please share your experience with me.
Last year when my kid attended her Grade Primary school - they had some fund raising they had to do. But you see my kid has got some rich godmother, aunts and uncles from home - so she collected more than $400 in total and some were cash because these wonderful friends and relatives of ours didn’t want to collect the angels from the kid - that was used for her fund raising. We had in turn asked the school what they want us to do with the money - and they had asked for an LCD projector instead.
So the spouse read up on many projector reviews for the right projector to get for the school and instead of getting them a projector screen with the LCD projector - we offered to paint their wall white for the use of the projector. This year - they had asked for a pocket projector for easy traveling for the teacher who will be using it for her teaching for small classes - so if you have any to recommend - please leave a comment - we would like to hear from you all. We already have a few in mind - which doesn’t cost an arm or a leg - thank God! But if you have one that you are already using and works great for you - give me a shout eh.
Well about time!!! i saw it on Zellers flyers this week that it will go on sale on the 27 midnight! Will you be the first at the store to get it? Starcraft 2 is definitely long overdue - this game was popular like 10 yrs ago - when i first arrived in Canada and time and again - we still get people asking for the first version of it in the store. So what is so great about Starcraft or Starcraft 2 ?
Well, it’s going 3D from what i’ve read and of course Blizzard will be making tons of money from it as usual. Only on PC of course - I heard that one can expect some very awesome graphic. Facial expressions, character movement, sound and art design are not disappointing. Did you know that the original Starcraft sold 1.5million copies in the first year? yup! you heard me right and another 11 million copies after that. Like i said - gamers are still asking for it once in a while. I can’t wait to get a copy of it.
Normally at our store - we don’t see something like that come in but many people/customers have had their laptop/s in filled with coke and juice and one even with cat’s pee - hahha!! yup! i kid you not! Of course normal virus repairs and upgrades are definitely things one needs to pay for themselves and if you have lots of kids and/or prone to accidents - i’ve often wonder why they don’t get laptop insurance. I mean look at the above picture? no way we can save that for them right? likewise for water/pop or juice in the laptop - no matter what we try - it just won’t work and by fluke if it does - well - it’s not going to last very long either. So yes - people!!! get some insurance !!! if you know your laptop might need it - especially if you have kids going to college or kids who are rough with their equipment! I cannot stress hard and long enough but nope some people just won’t learn.
Actually it’s a cooling pad - i’ve been asked so many times about it at our store - at first i didn’t know that it existed - until the spouse corrected me - when a customer asked me. I had thought that the only thing to do is to blow the dust outta the fan in your lappie and that would keep the laptop/notebook cool again. But i was wrong - hahah!! so silly of me eh.
Anyhow, like all smart chick - i too don’t want to pay too much for a laptop cooling pad, so when i saw one at Amazon.com - i had to tell my customers they can get one there for just $17.88 - A Belkin F5L001 -Cooling Stand prevents your laptop against overheating. The unique patented wave design uses natural convection to enhance fan. This stand has low power consumption with the USB port on your laptop without power cumbersome. Because the laptops today are based on fast processors to do the work, they create a lot of heat, with much of that land directly on your lap. Some laptops may have a “normal temperature” as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit have, that’s not only dangerous and uncomfortable, it can also take you from your laptop, because it can block unexpectedly decline, and overall life expectancy.
I’m a little OCD - haha! but of course - the spouse would disagree and tell you that I’m a lot OCD - so i’m always looking out for things to keep my stuff neat and tidy and nice looking all around the house. But I am guessing all women are like myself - we like pretty and nice things. So when i saw this leaf tie for $9 at GSelect - I just have to buy it. The Leaf tie is easy to use. It is simply used in the same manner as the cable-tie. All you have to do is wrap the Leaf Tie around the loose cables and enjoy the hint of nature.

Everyone is excited of course, but we can’t sell the core set till Friday - sorry folks. How much are they? Booster pack is $4.42 and Fat pack is $35.00 - this set will be around for a year. I’m excited to see the fans rush in on Friday as soon as we are open for business. Magic has been selling for us quite nicely and it’s a hobby of the spouse - so i support it - what can beat making money - and having some fun.
