As I sit here writing this review, I cannot help but chuckle as I reminisced about  writing a review about my experience with the Easy Peel Clear Mailing Labels.  I did not have the best experience with those but my experience with the white labels has been much more pleasant! I am an avid card maker and send out homemade cards quite often.   I was looking for an e...

When you are strapped for cash, and things aren't going your way, it can be quite a relief to see someone believes in you. I had a pile of medical bills and very little hope, when one day, along came a check in my mail from Wells Fargo. They wanted to give me a small personal loan, and all I had to do was cash tehir check. I didn't have to talk to anyone, and I didn't have to go thr...

A few years ago I decided to try some mailing labels for Christmas cards after a friend recommend that I do so. So I went into WalMart to look. After looking around a bit I decided on the Avery White Mailing Labels - 1" X 2 5/8" - #18160 - 300 count. At around $4.00 I thought it was a pretty good deal and it would last me quite some time. A few years later I still have about 150 label...

This is by far my favorite movie.  I have probably watched it 200 times.  It's a very funny, warm, feel good movie.  It's a romantic comedy staring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.  You might remember Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks from Sleepless in Seattle.  I think this is an even better movie than that. The two of them have great chemistry together.  The plot is a woman ...

You've Got Mail is a chick flick, and I enjoy this movie with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.  In this movie, Meg Ryan owns a sweet little children's book store.   Her business is being affected by a big book chain that has moved into the neighborhood.  Little does she know that the owner of this superstore is a pal she has been confiding in online.  One scene that espe...

Just about anything and everything that Tom Hanks touches, turns to gold. This movie really made me feel good! You've Got Mail is not exception. The story of a sweet, adorable children's bookstore owner, Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) meets the big bad book superstore owner, Joe Fox (Hanks). There 'relationship' begins before either even knows it as email pen pals. When they meet in ...

After graduating from college, the real world was brought into focus.  The thing that I found out was that “it is really expensive”!  My first order of business that brought me to this conclusion was purchasing checks at the bank for a new bank account.  One of the ways that I tried to save money was looking online for cost effective choices but without reducing mod...

In this world of inflated prices on items, instead of going through a mail order company to buy customized address labels, I decided to save a few pennies by purchasing address labels at Office Max. I decided to take a little trip on the wild side  and purchase (shhhh!) CLEAR mailing labels instead of plain white labels and decided that the wild side is not where I want to b...

I do a lot of mailings for my company so I am very particular about the labels that I use. I need something that I can use with word docuement, merges easily and prints great. Avery does all three of these and more. I know when I first started using them they were a little difficult to use, the biggest problem was the labels woudl start to come off while I was printing them. The company must ha...

My wife and I subscribe to Netflix.  This is an online business that  mails you movies.  I am the type that doesn't enjoy buying movies and watching them over and over again.  I have a few that I do enjoy watching more than once, but on the whole...I like to watch it once and be finished.  My wife is different, but that is another story.Netflix is something that we ...

I used to read the Wall Street Journal just about every day… Reading the Journal was one of my quiet pleasures… but it was a bit pricey and one day I just did not re-subscribe.Fast forward a few (million - lol!) years…. My boyfriend really enjoys following the market. He uses a lot of tools, including Money Magazine, but will not put out the money to purchase himself a subs...

I have become one of "those" parents that feels it necessary to plaster her children's image on as many surfaces as i possibly can, and thanks to www.Zazzle.com this now includes postage stamps. Family and friends LOVE getting the new photograph stamps for each season.  It is a fun and creative way to get a picture out to everyone.  It is a great way to add a l...

Everyone has heard the popular saying about how the mail will go through, no matter rain or shine. Unfortunately, Flo Rida did not take this to heart with his debut full length album, "Mail on Sunday."By now everyone has heard the song "Low", the number 1 digital download of all time with over 3 million downloads. Kudos to those who paid the 99 cents to get that tr...

NOTE: First off, this is the older model of the MailMate™ series (I believe the first - correct me if I'm wrong), not the newer, bigger, most recent one. That one happens to be the M3 MailMate™ shredder, for which in the end, as compared to this one I'm about to review on, happens to be more convenient given the freedom of simply slipping in a letter size paper, as opposed t...

Make your mail stand out with color!  This "Smart Mailer" by Scotch is the perfect thing to brighten up your mailbox!  The other mail will feel so inferior laying next to this colorful mailer.  I use this bright colored mailer when I send some special things to my daughter.  It all started when she moved out of state after she got married.  I wanted her to be ...

I am one of those people that mail out a bunch of letters, bills, and pictures to all my friends, families and bill collectors. I don't like to pay a bunch of money for envelopes so I find myself at Walmart. I like the security envelopes because of all the identity thiefs that are out there. I like the added security that they can't hold my letter up to the light and see everything.Thes...

You've got mail from Mickey Mouse!  I plan to use these cute bubble mailers when we visit Disney World in September.  We will be meeting our family there which includes our two adorable grandchildren. I will be buying something to put inside and leaving it on their beds for them when they wake up one morning.  They will not know that it came from me, it will be...

Mst of us have quite a lot of official paperwork dropping through the door, and after reading it, we decide it does not have to be filed away, so it goes in the recycling bin. This is not a good idea, especially when it contains a lot of information, Bank details, addresses, Balances etc. The obvious answer is to shred all this paperwork. I was in my local Woolworths (When they were still tradi...

I purchase Printer Creations white address labels frequently. These labels are self-adhesive and are made specifically for inkjet printers. You get a total of 450 labels. There are 15 sheets with a total of 30 labels on each sheet. The labels are white in color and measure 1"x 2-5/8" in size. One of my favorite things about these labels is that they are compatible Avery's labels. ...

AVOID THIS SERVICE.I was notified by by Movielink.com email that I qualified for a 30 day trial of the Blockbuster DVD rental service. I regularly rent streaming movies online. I prefer to download the rented movies and rewatch them at my leisure, as my time can often not stretch to an entire 90 minute span without interruption. I also like to watch favorite parts over or repeat scenes to hear ...
