Learning Toys - $150 Gift Certificate - (USA)
Watching Genevieve learn new things is priceless, she is not quite 1 yet and is already walking around on her own, putting blocks into small containers, and picking things up with her feet and placing them into her hands. I thought these type of skills would have only come a little later in life. It is truly amazing to see how smart children are. There are plenty of toys out there that children can play with that a mind numbing and really have no educational value at all, and then there are o

Why do the Lions & Cowboys always play on Thanksgiving? - (USA)
You hear the same phrases every Thanksgiving. “Please pass the gravy.” “Actually, can I have the gravy again? I missed a spot.” And “Ugh, why do we have to watch the Lions play again this year?” Every year since 1934, the Detroit Lions have taken the field for a Thanksgiving game, no matter how bad their record has been. When this year’s hapless 0-11 squad squares off against the powerhouse Tennessee Titans, you might find yourself wondering how the lowly Lions managed to get the plum gig of

One Nation Under Greed - (USA)
Don't hate my kid, but she found it hilarious that someone died in a Black Friday stampede at Wal-Mart. I didn't think she was taking this seriously enough, so I quickly found this YouTube video. Someone used their cell phone to film the unfortunate, dying store clerk receiving CPR. You can actually hear them laugh in the background. This made my nearly 13 year old daughter laugh harder. I was too shocked to even get angry. "Why is this funny to you?", I asked. "That's just Americans,"

Nintendo - Horrible Planning Or Evil Genius? - (USA)
Normally, I try to avoid the Christmas rush. Having spent a few years in retail, I know all too well how things can be hard to find. I’ve even seen a few parents trying to do all of their shopping a day or two before Christmas and boy, have I felt sad for those kids. Historically I have also had a tendency to shop for gifts at the last moment, and I know most of you have too. I’ve gotten a little better recently however. As some of you may know, I have a two year old son - and I also have a w

As I’m surfing the web for good deals this morning and checking my email, I’ve seen that many Cyber Monday sales are beginning now.

I’m almost done with my shopping, but there are still a few people left on my list. (I hat

Clarksville’s Black Friday morning looked more like Ash-Gray Friday - (USA)
While merchants regularly count on making forty percent of their yearly earning on the Friday after Thanksgiving. An early morning tour of local shopping venues showed that shoppers were not camping out in anything like the numbers of years past. With all the special advertisements for sales and discounts to be had, parking lots were distressingly empty. Here’s what we found at 2 a.m. this morning: Our objective was the Governors Square complex, where one finds several of the largest retailers

How Big (or Small) is that Gadget? - (USA)

The problem is that sometimes it’s kind of hard to picture. You have no idea how the gadget will fit in your purse or pocket. You can’t get a good mental image of how big or small it is in “real” life, once it gets to you! It never fails. We see the dimensions on the screen when we’re shopping on
