I still like free stuff...

... and I often sneak thru the net to find some "free stuff". I've posted about this before in case you're new, have a read. So I read a 'The Parker Report" Blog {not related to Erik Parker of MTV's The Parker Report I found out as soon as I saw the white family photos all over the Blog) and saw "Free $5 Gas Card". I was off and running on the first link which was a list of good deals. I had to go back and see that the second link was the actual link to the free $5 gas card. Duuuuuuh. Anyhow, Techron Trivia is where you need to go BUT... please read if the freebie is valid in your state PRIOR to answering the trivia questions. They are easy, trust me as I just filled mine out yesterday. And if you get more than $5 you better come back and share some of it with me. (laughs)

Now, here's a really good freebie. I am getting It's Pimpin' Pimpin' for FREE. No, it's not coming from the Katt Pack people but from Borders.com. And you say, you can get free stuff from Borders.com? Yes, if you play your freebies right. Here's how I played this one out. I like surveys and in one of my survey spots I earn $$. I accrued enough money in my account that I chose Borders.com as my reward of choice changeover. So after waiting a couple days for the money to be changed to Borders Bucks in November, I found out I could not use them until December. Ok, so I wait a couple more days and then on Dec. 1 I get a email stating I can now use my BB's. I am so excited as I have researched the online price (16.99) vs the in-store price (19.99) and also found out it's cheaper to order online and send to a location near you than going to said location and picking it up... gas included. I still have to go to the store and pick it up but... at a cheaper rate - for FREE. How did $16.99 turn into free? Well another email reminding me that I had a 30% off coupon that was about to expire came in and I was like "oh really?". So I go place the online order for the DVD and use the 30% coupon FIRST which brings it to $12 and some change. I then proceed to the option on how to pay. I see the BB's with the ADD button and then I do so. WHAAAAAAAAAALLAAAAAAAAH! The bottom line reads $0.00 owed, no taxes and no shipping fees. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Now, the penalty to the great savings on the DVD is as of today it is stuck in NJ and I ordered it on December 1. I'm not at all mad because I still saved in the long run and I'm very pleased to know I'll get it sooner or later..................

Here's a link to Money Saving Mom that TPR had on their website as a, seemingly, good source of good deals and savings. I'm not sure what states are covered but just read thru since it's blog style. Have fun getting your freebie on!!

My Vice...

I'm a movie-holic by nature since about age 20. I've had movie marathons that lasted from Friday after work til Monday getting ready to go back. But right now... Star Wars: The Clone Wars is the cutest obsession I have right now. Sad, huh?? I know it's not a "movie" but I found it thanks to my nephew talking about the release of the movie over the summer. I was like WHAT?? And then I watched it and was immersed. But then I went to Cartoon Network and found episodes?!?! HUH?? Anyhow, I watched all 8 in one day and been going back to see if there are new eps up almost, allllllmost daily.

Ok, do you like this kinda stuff?

BTW - What's your vice??

Obama Has A Vice...

...and it's in the form of an ugly cigarette. Yws, it is very true as I told Jervis, I've known it since I saw him. The dark lips gave it away. Take a look at his recent Meet The Press response about it:

The Chain Epidemic

The Parker Report's link is not working so here's one I did find that works, courtesy of OnSmash.com. For anyone more knowledgeable than me, can you help a sistah with this??!?! I'll be checking back on that website because I'm eager to see Mr. Alvin Joiner and what he's talkin' bout these days. That's tomorrow's episode so I read.

My Blog is Broke

I recently went thru the list of things you can add to make your Blog more interesting and in my case, loaded down with stuffs. At any rate I can't see Reactions, a new feature that allows other readers to give feedback in a tick (as the Europeans say). Anyone else not see it?? And for those of you who like my Blog, please do as I am doing with yours - Follow Me (more on Follow Me) and/or link to me, just let me know if you do the latter so I may return the favor. Now this depends strictly on the content of you Blog, of course.

All things great and... very, very, very, very small

re-post from Rahsaan Patterson. Hopefully it inspires you as much as it did him to pass it on for me to pass on to you.


Did you get all that?? Hope so (laughs)

Register here and listen to Rahsaan speak on the cover of his new holiday album, music and more. 'The Ultimate Gift' is the latest release of what I hope is many more of this stellar performer's musical portfolio. While listening to interview you can also get a free track. Cameron is a awesome interviewer as he just lets the artist talk... not a heap of chatter. If you register and it is not on the main page at the time you enter the site, look in the 'Interviews' section. They have an option to save to your My Channel interview category.

Enjoy it to the utmost!!
