			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing that I do every morning is to stop in at a local store and get a large cup of coffee. It’s not for everyone I know, but those who like it like me will swear by it. I just need a large cup of coffee to get my day started. </p>
<p>Coffee is full of caffeine. It is well known that caffeine makes your motor run. People have taken advantage of its properties for many centuries and I believe that it will last for many more. Get your sugar and cream ready, coffee is here to stay.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I have this weekend off from work, I thought I would do a little shopping. I know that the malls are full because it is black Friday, but I thought I might be able to find some deals. I went off with high hopes toward the mall. When I got there, I found it was a madhouse. There were people everywhere and I could hardly find a place to park. As I was walking in, I met some people who were coming out. They told me that I should not even bother to go inside.</p>
<p>They said the mall was packed and that the lines were very long to check out. I knew right then that I was wasting my time. I decided to go home and take my chances on the internet. When I arrived home, I went online and started to check out some different sites. I finally found a site I liked and started doing some serious shopping. That’s when I found a <a href="http://www.aeropostale.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=11327010&#038;cp=3534618.3534619.3534624.3542203.3536103">hoodie</a> that I really liked.</p>
<p>The price was good and I thought I would order it. After all, why should I go out get something when I can have it delivered to my home. I turned on the T.V. and thought about how much better my time was spent that fighting the traffic and the crowds.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Guest post by Gerard McDaniel</em></p>
<p>I’m totally addicted to reality  television. My whole family makes fun of me because you’d never catch me  watching the news or anything of substance. I think my favorite reality  show (if you can call it that) is Say Yes to the Dress on TLC which I  sometimes stream on the internet that I got through <a title="Link to www.CLEAR-INTERNET.com offers" href="http://www.clear-internet.com/">www.CLEAR-INTERNET.com</a>.  Its basic premise is that women go to Kleinfeld’s bridal salon in New  York City and try on wedding dresses. That’s it! The women inevitably  get into fights with their mothers or bridesmaids over their fashion  sense and some of the ladies chose the most outrageous, terrible  dresses! The consultants try so hard to make the sales, but a lot of  these women are just insufferable. I can’t even fathom how much some of  these people spend on their wedding dress – I’ve seen women on the show  spend up to twelve thousand dollars. FOR A DRESS! Can you even imagine?  The fiancés of a lot of these girls have to have patience of steel  because a lot of the girls are total princesses. I don’t know if I could  make it through one day working at <a title="Kleinfeld's site" href="http://www.kleinfeldbridal.com/index.cfm?pid=6">Kleinfeld&#8217;s</a>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our company has decided that the idea of wearing uniforms has come of age. Starting soon, everyone will be wearing our spiffy new uniforms that bear our companies logo. So far, everyone likes the idea as they will no longer have to wash their clothes as the uniform service does that for us. It’s like a dream come true for as I never have to worry about what I am going to wear to work the next day!</p>
<p>We looked all around in order to find the best deals on <a href="http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/Scrubs-for-Men/">medical uniforms</a>. There are quite a few people who sell them, but we think we have found the right ones. We saw a site called blueskyscrubs.com that had many types of cheap scrub uniforms for sale. We knew right away that this was the company for us. They had what we needed and it would be easy to do.</p>
<p>Now that our new policy is in place, we feel that we made the right decision. Everyone looks really good when they go to work and I think everyone takes a little more pride in their work. We even have one girl who wears <a href="http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/products/Pink-Sorbet-Original-Scrub-Tops.html">pink scrubs</a> to work. She looks really great and we are all proud of her. I am looking forward to our next good idea!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guest post written by my buddy Keith Kramer</p>
<p>Every year Cheryl and I take a full day to go Christmas shopping together. We plan the trip over the phone, about a week before we meet. It&#8217;s a standing ritual to make sure that sometime during this phone call we remind each other to set our home security alarms before we leave our houses, always remembering the year I forgot to do that, and had to leave the mall to go back home and <a href="http://www.securitychoice.com/adt-home-security/California/">adt security</a> home alarm.</p>
<p>We meet at a designated shop at the mall at 9:30 AM, and begin the shopping day separating from each other for about a half hour so we can buy each other something special that we exchange at lunch time at our favorite restaurant. We usually take along a gift bag and tissue paper so we can make the exchange festive without a lot of fuss. We only see each other rarely, and it&#8217;s so nice to have the opportunity to see the smiles on each other&#8217;s faces at this Christmas shopping luncheon.</p>
<p>Except for that lunch break, we&#8217;re serious shoppers until we&#8217;re broke or too exhausted to take another step, whichever comes first. It&#8217;s an occasion that has become a tradition for the two of us that we look <a href="http://blogs.forward.com/bintel-blog/">forward</a> to every Christmas season.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks for the post from Al Mills</p>
<p>This past Black Friday I found some really wonderful deals at Walmart. The best deal would be the $199 laptop, which retails for about $500! I was there just after midnight on Thursday morning, and was in line to get it and after about 30 minutes of waiting I did! I am currently using the new laptop to write this blog for you, and couldn&#8217;t be happier with my deicsion to go out and shop on Black Friday at Walmart.</p>
<p>It was a successful trip, lots of great deals, and lots of new things were bought. I easily saved over $500 on my purchases this day, so I cannot complain about the lines and the waiting, it was well worth it. I got home around 6am, made a cup of coffee, sat ont he couch and watched some <a href="http://www.expertsatellite.com/directv-vs-dish.html">Satellite TV</a> and just relaxed.</p>
<p>I am definitely looking foward to going out next yearr on <a href="http://top-black-friday.blogspot.com/2010/10/asus-g73jw-a1-republic-of-gamers-173.html">Black Friday</a> and getting some more great deals. This was my first year going and shopping on this crazy day, but in the end it was a successful trip and will be made again in years to come!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I happened to visit a hospital the other day. A friend of mine had to go in for a checkup and I offered to give her a ride. As you may imagine, I had to wait awhile for the checkup to be done and I happened into a conversation with one of the nurses. I had noticed that she had on nursing uniform scrubs that looked really nice. She also had on a scrub hat that was very colorful.</p>
<p>She told me about how every doctor and nurse had to purchase their own uniforms. She said that most of them use a site called blueskyscrubs.com that sold them. They had a wide variety of <a href="http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/">medical scrubs</a> for both men and women. They were a quality product and everyone liked them. She also liked the fact that <a href="http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/">buying scrubs online</a> was quick and easy. The prices were reasonable and the uniforms were delivered to her home.</p>
<p>Our conversation finally ended and I sat alone. While I did, I pondered the different uniforms and hats everyone was wearing. I saw how wearing uniforms made it easier to identify who was who. The colorful garb also made the hospital seem just a little bit friendlier. I guess it’s a good that uniforms are required for people like this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While at the neighborhood Walgreen&#8217;s, I noticed that they were featuring Ghiradelli chocolates on sale. Usually they are about $4 for a small bag. While on sale, they were 2 bags for $5. So that is not quite half price, but a very good excuse for buying two bags of my wife&#8217;s favorite chocolates! I bought one bag of dark chocolate with raspberry filling and one bag of milk chocolate with caramel filling. If she can restrain herself to just one chocolate treat each night, then we might be able to make these last about one month. That&#8217;s thirty days and nights of sweet treats.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every once in a while, a situation comes up that makes us realize how lucky we are to live in modern times. One such situation came up for my friend Dan from the office. His car finally gave out and he needed a replacement fast. His financial situation wasn’t the best and so he needed to find someone that could help. That’s when he learned about a company called <a href="http://www.drivetime.com/">DriveTime</a>. They take the extra steps needed to ensure that people who may have credit problems can get their loans approved.</p>
<p>Dan went to a site called drivetime.com where he was able to find a great deal on <a href="http://www.drivetime.com/">Used Cars</a>. They have many makes and models to choose from and it’s easy to look them up. You can punch in the city where you want to find a car and they do the rest. Dan is a very busy man and so saving time is a priority with him.</p>
<p>Now that Dan has his brand new used car, his life is back to normal. His credit problems did not prevent him from getting the car he wanted and he is glad that he didn’t have to wait a long time to get it. Dan gives all the credit to <a href="http://www.drivetime.com/">Drive Time</a> and tells everyone with a similar problem to try them out. I am just glad that he is back to work and things are back to normal!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing that I really enjoy is the fact that we have a large family. No matter what time of year it is, there is always something going on. Right now, the big news is that my cousin Judy is getting married. We were all a little surprised because no one saw it coming. She met a guy named Joe and they really hit it off.</p>
<p>When she told me the news, I was really happy for her. I offered to help her in any way I could. When she asked my advice about where to get the best wedding invitations, I knew I had a good answer for her. I told her about a great site online called 123print.com that has a selection of items to choose from. I happen to know that they are a trustworthy company and would not let her down.</p>
<p>I talked with her the other day and she thanked me for my help. She was very happy to find the style of invitation she was looking for and couldn’t wait to send them out. I know that she has good taste and I will be glad when I receive mine. I will also be happy when I meet Joe and welcome him to the family!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been a busy summer and we have done many things to improve the appearance of our home. We have painted as well as remodeled much of the interior. As a final touch, we decided that we needed to have a new wall mount mailbox. Our old box was getting pretty ratty and no longer fit the décor of our house. That’s why we decided to search for a new one online.</p>
<p>We were fortunate to find a website called mailboxixchange.com that has a wide variety of new wall mounted mailboxes to choose from. It didn’t take more than a few minutes before we fell in love with our particular choice. They are very stylish and we found one that we think will add to the value of our home. It’s important that every piece of our house blends with the rest.</p>
<p>After we received our box and had it mounted, we were delighted with the way it looked. It adds to the character of our home and is one of the best house mailboxes that I have ever seen. I think that everyone should consider looking into the situation and think about getting one for yourself. I think you’ll be happy you did!</p>

We raise money to provide them with Jersey’s and other equipment that they need to practice and play with. This year, we are going all out to raise money for a project that is a little larger in scope.</p>
<p>Since the kids always play on the same fields every week, we plan to expand the clubhouse building where they change their clothes and have meetings. We are going to add Gym Lockers to the building for the kids to use. We think that by having them, we will foster a better feeling of what it’s like to be a real football player. It will also add some security for the kid’s valuable items.</p>
<p>We are hoping that we will be able to raise enough money so that each kid will have his own Locker. We think this is doable and hope to order them soon. We found a great site called morelockers.com that has Lockers for sale. I can’t wait to see the kids faces when they get their own Lockers filled with all the equipment they need. It will be a wonderful day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to spending money, there are a few tricks that everyone should know about. One of the best ways to get great deals is to buy the items you need at the end of the season. For example, let’s say you are interested in buying barbecue tools. You should definitely not buy them in the spring, but wait until fall when stores are trying to reduce their inventory.</p>
<p>The best thing to do is to look ahead to what you will need next year. I know that my outdoor furniture is getting old and outdated. Instead of waiting till spring to buy it new, I will purchase it now and store it through the winter. This will save me a lot of dough because of the fact that it cost the stores more to store it. They will often just have a clearance sale instead.</p>
<p>Another area where I have been able to find great deals is in Garden tools. I managed to pick up a selection of shovels and rakes that will help make my garden one of the best in the neighborhood. I hope that you will take these tips to heart and save a few bucks for yourself. We need every dollar we can save these days and this is a great way to do it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the best times to get great deals at the stores is on Labor Day weekend. The stores are trying to unload a years worth of inventory and will give steep discounts to do so. Everything from summer clothes to lawn chairs will be on sale during the holiday and can be picked up at a great price.</p>
<p>I know that my wife always comes home from her Labor Day weekend shopping spree with an untold amount of items. She loves to shop and this is a great time for it. I guess I’ll have to foot the bill for it all, but at least I’ll save a few bucks while I’m at it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Slowly but surely, we have been fixing up the house. We are done with most of the major projects such as painting and the kitchen remodeling. Now that the house is looking good, we decided to add some new furniture into the picture. One area that really needs attention is the kids’ bedroom. That’s why we decided to look into getting some childrens beds in order to improve their rooms.</p>
<p>My son has been bugging us to buy him one of those racer beds that look like a car. Every time we go to the store and see one, he goes bananas! I thought that this may be the right time to finally get him one. I am sure he will love it and it will look great in his room. The problem is that he’s not the only one who wants something.</p>
<p>Our daughter has been angling for a new bed as well. She wants to have a pink bed that will match the color scheme of her room. They have some really nice ones these days and a good place to find one is on a site called time4sleep.com.uk. They have all the beds you could wish for and I am sure you would find one you liked. I hope you can spare a few minutes and check out the site, you won’t regret it!</p>
