Kindle Deals! What is a Kindle?

Do you miss the days when your mom or dad use to read to you before you went to bed?  I know I do! Especially since I am on the computer reading all day. I also miss someone reading to me when I am sitting in a car for hours driving which means my eyes have to remain on the road.   

There are some times where I would love to read a really good book about something funny or romantic and NON work-related, without passing out because my eyes are so tired. And I am not going to lie, I am way too lazy to go into a bookstore.  No IDEA why!


So I found this Kindle Wireless Reading Device which I thought was amazing because it actually reads to you.

How to Get Back At Your Ex Without Going to Jail

This world can be a pretty rough place especially when it comes to serious romantic relationships.  I'm sure almost everyone (including myself) has at one point been cheated on or done wrong by an ex boyfriend or girlfriend.  It's unfortunate, but extremely common!

I too also know the feeling of wanting to KILL that person, which thankfully goes away with time.  Unfortunately it takes a LONG time to get over the feelings of distrust, sadness, and the feeling that love can be a beautiful thing. 

I happend to come across this product on Amazon.com that I thought was funny but a little bit disturbing at the same time:
















This product comes in a variety of colors to match your kitchen decor.  While it might be therapeutic to use this product like a "voo doo" doll and stab your Ex 5 times everything the dishwasher is clean, but wouldn't it also REMIND you of all of the horrible things your Ex did to you on a daily basis?  Who knows, but atleast you can get some of that anger out without getting arrested!

How To Protect Yourself From Identity Theft

When it comes to identity theft, the better you look on paper, the more likely you are to be targeted by people with bad intentions. There is an endless amount of ways for a thief to steal your identity; and it all starts with the thief's ability to get access to certain key pieces of information that belong to you. Here's just a few things the thief is looking for:
  • Your Social Security Card
  • Your Driver's License 
  • Your Account Numbers, Pins and Passwords
But for those of you who have never encountered such an evil person might wonder, besides stealing your wallet or purse or hacking your computer, how can someone do this to you?

In this world, the answers to that question vary from obvious to the very unusual. Here are just a couple of the sources a thief may go to obtain your personal information:
  • Your trash. Because people find it hard to believe that anyone would want to go through garbage cans, they throw away things like unsolicited credit card applications, old bills, expired credit cards, unused checking account deposit slips and countless other papers. So, for the identity thief, "dumpster diving" can provide a rich collection of personal information that can be used to become you.  
  •  Your mailbox. In the wrong hands, your incoming mail can be a the jackpot spot for information about you. A bill from your credit card company, a statement from your checking account, an unsolicited offer of a new, pre-approved credit card (complete with application). And your outgoing mail may include personal checks you are sending to pay bills (containing your routing and checking account numbers). If you don't have a locked mailbox for incoming and outgoing mail, you are vulnerable.  
There is actually a fairly new product out to reduce your vulnerabilities and trick those "dumpster divers" called The Kes'pon ID Guard Stamp.



This product stamps a unique pattern to mask your private and confidential information.


This is a very easy and affordable alternative to buying expensive and bulky shredders. It is available in a 2.75×1-inch version for $19.99 or a smaller 1.5×0.5-inch version for $9.99 in a multitude of fun colors!

Now its ok to bring your old magazines to the gym and leave them behind, all you have to do is stamp them! In a world where thiefs are getting smarter, we need to get smarter about protecting ourselves and The Kes'pon Id Guard Stamp makes it that much easier!

You Can Stop DRINKING Your Coffee!


"Le Whif"
Ever ordered a coffee that tasted horrible?  Yes, I know it is the worst!

A Harvard professor has put a strange twist in the coffee world with an amazing new inhalable espresso -- allowing caffeine addicts to breathe in their morning cup of coffee instead of drinking it!

The coffee hits consist of powder inside lipstick-size bio-degradable containers that are pulled open, inserted in the mouth and inhaled.

The sticks are sold individually for $3 or in boxes of three for $8 -- and each stick delivers 100 milligrams of caffeine, the equivalent of a cup of espresso.

                                           NY POST/Chad RachmanA BLOW OF JOE: Esther Green, a customer at Dylan's Candy Bar, samples a drag of Le Whif espresso powder yesterday.

A whiffer can get up to nine hits from an individual stick, depending on how hard they inhale.
But it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Dylan's -- located in Cambridge, Ma -- sold out of 108 individual servings and 93 three-packs in a matter of hours during last Thursday's March 13th unveiling.

They're restocking a limited supply tomorrow and they hope to fill the shelves again toward the end of the month. Dylan's still has inhalable versions of chocolate in stock.

A gourmet market in Cambridge, Mass., is the only place in the United States to buy Le Whif.

This amazing new coffee product was made in a Paris lab by Harvard professor David Edwards and chef Thierry Marx. Edwards, a biological engineer, designed the airborne coffee and food particles to be too large to enter the lungs. 

Instead, the particles land on the tongue and cheeks, giving the taste, and kick, of coffee and CHOCOLATE with LESS THAN 1 Calorie!!!

Get Two Chargers in One!

AD/DC Adaptor:

The essence of this product is right in its name.  It’s a product that allows you to adapt to a modern day world.  What’s crazy is the fact that in order to keep your life running, you’ve got to keep your cellphone and other electronics charged.  This usually requires a home charger and car charger, but not all electronics offer both.

For example, most GPS systems come with a car charger because they assume you will be using it in the car.  Well, what if the night before you want to enter a bunch of data into your GPS inside your nice warm house, what do you do then? What happens when your home charger breaks, dies, disappears and all you have is your car charger?
