Valentine's Day HotCouponWorld Wishlist Contest

Have I mentioned how much I love Hot Coupon World? I've been a member there now for over six months ... maybe even 8, I can't remember when I first signed up. I've saved hundreds of dollars, learned a ton about using coupons effectively, and made new virtual friends. I'm hoping they'll help me save money on baby things soon.

A new initiative that they are trying out is having bloggers post about upcoming events, announcements, and other things noteworthy for the site. I want you to know up front that they are offering small payments for each blog post written, but that I would never write about something unless I truly supported it (or wanted to mock it ... but that won't be the case here).

So...without anymore rambling...the very first post for HCW...

HOTCOUPONWORLD VALENTINE WISHLIST CONTEST

Five lucky winners will get a great gift of their choice, up to $50.

How do you enter?

Super easy ... first, you have to register for HotCouponWorld (unless you're already a member like me).

Second...go to the contest link in the forum and follow the instructions for finding and listing the items you would want if you won.

Third ... oh wait ... that's it. You're done!

Well, there is the fine print ---- Post must be made by February 13th at 12 midnight Pacific Time.


And because HCW just rocks - the item can be $50 and you don't have to worry about shipping because they will cover that too. So it can be $50 with shipping of $12 and you're golden.

So what would I pick as my item to win? Oh gosh, there's just so much! But since I'm already itching to buy baby stuff... *grin* ... I'd have these as my items to pick from.

Oooooo...I want this NOW.

My baby will be brand new for Halloween and I will insist on dressing them up ... I love elephants.

So go enter. =) Have fun!

Poor Messiah

Looks like "The One" is finding this job a little tougher than he expected. Poor guy thought it would be all rainbows and roses - and everyone would love him.

Sorry, Bambi. Can't just vote Present in this position. Your decisions now impact us all and when you screw up you get the blame.

Between appointing crooks (and yes, if you cheat your taxes you're a crook) and hiring back on people who you threw under the bus during the campaign ... I'm not seeing the real change here.

The president added that he is "frustrated with myself, with our team," but said, "ultimately my job is to get this thing back on track."

Ah....poor thing is fwustwated? Maybe if he put on a jacket and started acting presidential his words would have more meaning to those around him.

I also heard on the news this morning that the AP called him arrogant. Poor baby. Just can't catch a break can he? Heh. I find it funny.

Yesterday someone announced on some show I was listening to that Bambi's approval rating had fallen dramatically. I hope all the worshipers wake up and wipe the koolaid induced sleep from their eyes in time for the next election. And I hope the GOP has a viable candidate with real ideas to replace this loser Jimmy Carter II.

Priorities

I need to go get my conceal carry permit. I was wondering maybe if I should wait due to the pregnancy...I can't imagine carrying a gun, a diaper bag, and an infant.

But testimony like this (I don't know how to embed a google video) makes me realize that I need to be able to protect myself. Because the police won't be there in time.

Her testimony made me weepy eyed ... but it could be the hormones. I want to smack the politicians who look bored with her testimony.

"The second amendment is not about duck hunting. ... it's about all of our rights to be able to protect ourselves from all of you guys up there."

I love this woman!!!

Say It Ain't So, Sarah

The "stimulus" bill will almost assuredly pass and for that I cannot be more ill. It's nothing more than pork projects all piled into one, gargantuan, bloated, bribing bill for politicians to use as "proof" that they are doing something.

And sadly, so sadly, many GOP governors are trying to get "their share" of the pork. Even Sarah.

The 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, planned to meet in Washington this weekend with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and other senators to press for her state's share of the package.

NOOOOO!!!! Say it ain't so!!!!

I had such high hopes but reality is that she is still a politician and will work to get her state's share of the pork. That is her job. But it still sucks.

Even Bobby Jindall said he would accept money from the Feds. *sigh* Though he does say he'd vote against it.

So take a stand Bobby...don't accept Washington's bribes. Federal money is never "free" and always comes with strings and more federal control. It wouldn't be the popular move perhaps, but it would be the RIGHT thing to do.

It's not always the popular or easy thing, I know. Where are there politicians willing to do the RIGHT thing???

Fighting On Our Shores

Once again we see militant Hamas supporters in full public view spouting their hatred and evil. It could be Gaza ... but it isn't. It's Minnesota.

Of course they don't understand why Rep Ellison doesn't want to condemn anyone...they call out "Why not?" Because they only want to hate and wish for the death of all the Jews. They make themselves look like the animals they are. The Hamas "leader" at this rally has no respect for words - only militant bullying and violence.

Clearly there are Muslims out there who WANT to work and be more moderate. The Fatah leader made me happy when he tried to stop them burning the Israeli flag. They don't want to talk. Talking will only give Hamas time to recover and kill more.

I give Ellison full credit for trying to speak his mind against the Hamas militants. It is clear that while he is most certainly a liberal and probably against Israel in his own way, he wants to talk and try to accomplish something other than chanting and calling for death. Which of course earns him the title of coward by the Hamas supporters.

The one thing I will say ... if this was in Gaza I would bet dollars that Ellison would have been killed by the Hamas leader and his supporters. (In fact, the Hamas leader still had to be restrained from attacking the Fatah leader.) Being the United States the police stopped him before he got closer. Hamas is a terrorist organization. Why are they allowed to show public support for such an organization???

Were people allowed to show their support for the Nazi Germans during WWII? Would anyone dare throw a rally in support of Al Qaeda (not that the Hamas supporters *don't* support them)?

Thank you Power Line for sharing this video with us.

Not Too Shabby

I actually watched part of the Super Bowl last night. The first half I worked on jewelry - filling a couple of orders (yay!), finishing up some pieces, and taking photographs.

But the second half caught my eye because the underdog seemed to be making a comeback. It was pretty exciting.

Even though they didn't win, I think the Cardinals should be very proud of themselves. Pittsburgh players acted like thugs when they were behind and that is not cool. The Cardinals seemed to keep it classy and worked as hard as they could.

I didn't watch all the commercials the way I normally do...were there any good ones? I caught one ridiculously stupid Pepsi commercial. It seemed to be a Saturday night live skit...and it was pathetic. Oh and there was one with a Budweiser horse escaping to rescue his love from the circus. I thought that was sweet. =) Cause I'm sappy that way.

Have a great Monday!

New Survey

It's been awhile since a new survey was offered by DeNeero ... bout time.



I totally think we should re-institute chain gangs. Prison should not be a picnic and public humiliation should be a requirement for all criminals. We need to bring back public shaming...maybe people would behave better.
