Buying For Less

somebodyunfamous@yahoo.com (Mouthliquor) — 2008-01-06T15:28:00-05:00

As a savvy shopper, when I make purchases online I search around for the best price. Beyond that, I actually do a separate search for coupon codes if there is a spot for it when checking out. With major retailers you can usually find freely available valid codes which can save you 10 or 20 percent per purchase (on a good day), so it's never a bad idea (especially on large purchases). It seems to me though, that there are so many new coupon sites popping up (couponmountain, hotcoupons, couponsurfer, wow-coupons, etc...) that it's hard to find a good one which encompasses all the major sites (and many minor ones) and consistently has ALL the current promotions and coupons easily located! Time is money, so you don't want to spend all day searching a billion sites just to save a couple bucks!

Enter www.currentcodes.com. Much like the stock market: "Past results do not indicate future success," but I've found codes here that I haven't found on any the other sites, and they've always had the "popular" codes that I found elsewhere, making it a one-stop-shop for coupon/discount codes.

Check it out and let me know how it works for you!
Happy Shopping and Saving!

Letstalk.com Complaint

somebodyunfamous@yahoo.com (Mouthliquor) — 2007-12-20T17:07:00-05:00

Let's Talk is an appropriate name for the company, since that's all they have gotten done so far - I call, we talk.

This is the epinions.com review I wrote on Thursday morning:
--------------------
I've had to call them 7 times already about an order I placed 7 days ago. On the letstalk.com website, they claim that "most phones ship in 24 hours." Seeing as the slowest shipping they offer is 2nd-day, I expected to receive the phones within 4 days at the worst case scenario (the order was placed on a Friday). The phones still haven't even been "activated and programmed," but will "probably ship within 24 hours," according to the latest customer service representative I just got off the phone with. They don't answer their phone without at least a 5 minute hold time before 10am CST and every single rep I've talked to has been incompetent - they continually put you back on hold for minutes at a time to figure out what the issue is (if there isn't a large BOLD print problem flashing on your computer screen when you pull up my account, why did I get an email saying there's a problem and more importantly, WHY HAVEN'T MY PHONES SHIPPED!?) If I have to call them one more time to have them switch an address around, or give them information they already have, I'm canceling the order altogether!
-------------------

This is the email body I received around noon that day:
-------------------
Dear Customer,

Thank you for your patience. Your phone has just been activated. It is now ready for shipment.

You should receive a shipment confirmation email with the tracking number shortly.

Sincerely,

Customer Service
-------------------

AT&T called me on Saturday to get the information about porting my number and everything was approved. That representative told me that once I got the phones, they would be ready to activate and have all the instructions with them. Seemed logical enough. No one ever mentioned at letstalk that I wouldn't have a phone while the new ones were in transit if I port my number up front. That's the most idiotic thing I could ever think a company would do!

So now with the impending Christmas holiday, I'm looking at not having a phone, besides my roommate's VOIP house phone, until possibly the 26th! I hate letstalk.com, I will never do business with them again! I am advising you to stay as far away as you can from letstalk unless you love struggling with representatives who are totally incompetent and unhelpful. I've talked to 10 of them so far, so I feel like I have a pretty good idea of the norm. Sure the website is easy and the deals seem great, but you'll pay for it in heartache in the long-run!!

::UPDATE:: It never got any better. The phones finally arrived but I'm still working through all the mess. I called ATT today to get a credit since my account officially started when the phones were activated, not when I received them. If I hadn't, it would have cost me $15 just for the time the phones were in transit. There's more I'd love to complain about with Letstalk.com, but I'll spare you unless you really want to know. Leave a comment if you personally want to hear me vent the rest.

Blogger Communities - Help Yourself

somebodyunfamous@yahoo.com (Mouthliquor) — 2007-12-12T14:47:00-05:00

So you're just not getting any traffic to your blog, what do you do? I've posted about this before and it's probably the largest problem facing new bloggers (particularly those who want to blog-for-profit). The following idea is sort of related to the Golden Rule and the post I linked above. Give other bloggers traffic and you will reap the benefits. Put simply: get involved in blogger communities. You'll probably want to start with MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog. Most importantly, as with anything else, HAVE FUN!

Here are some of the return links I've received:

And here are some more:

Three CNN Stories

Here's a link I received via email from a friend. It's a little lengthy for my attention span, but once I got into it I found some pretty amusing anecdotes, which kept me reading.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/LIVING/worklife/12/11/cb.worst.employees/index.html

Finally, here's another email link to some slightly sadder news about a prominent gameshow figurehead - Alex Trebek.

Ethanol Fuel - Are You Curious?

somebodyunfamous@yahoo.com (Mouthliquor) — 2007-12-09T04:55:00-05:00

I've heard quite a bit about ethanol as an alternative (or supplementary) fuel, especially in the last couple years, but for the first time I actually found something positive said about it. Check out this site for all your ethanol queries.

Man sentenced in bizarre diagnosing scam

MONROE, La. (AP) -- A man was sentenced to more than four years in prison for bilking friends and family out of more than $800,000 by convincing them that his wife was a government agent who could arrange to have their medical problems diagnosed by satellite imaging.

Rayville, was sentenced in federal court in Monroe to serve 51 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. His wife, Stacey Finley, was sentenced in August to spend 63 months in prison and both are ordered to jointly pay restitution in the amount of $873,786.94.

The Finleys pleaded guilty in August to wire fraud, according to court records.

U.S. Attorney Donald W. Washington said in a news release following Monday's sentencing of Brent Finley that the couple convinced numerous people that Stacey Finley was a CIA agent and with her contacts she could schedule a medical scan of the victims' bodies by satellite imaging that would detect any hidden medical problems.

The Finley's convinced their victims that, if any medical problems were found, secret agents would administer medicine to them as they slept in exchange for payment, according to a bill of information filed when the Finleys were charged in May.

"These audacious criminals should remind all of us that scam artists will go to great lengths to take our life's savings," Washington said.

The Daily Grind...

somebodyunfamous@yahoo.com (Mouthliquor) — 2007-12-05T10:16:00-05:00

...JUST GOT EASIER!

- As a new blogger, it's easy to spend hours (days/weeks/months) searching for and establishing accounts for sites/services which will help your blog reach the world (and eventually help you cash in on your hard work) - FACT.
- There are fishy sites/services out there which won't help you at all and will actually waste your precious time while potentially sharing all your info with unscrupulous advertisers wishing to cash in on you with spam or other immoral tactics - FACT.

So isn't it nice to find something hearty and wholesome that you can feel good about at the end of the day?

Introducing:

It's a great way for bloggers to get free access to clicks/traffic/other blogs. Of course if you're a lazy blogger (is that possible?) then you can always pay for the service, and it's very affordable at only $2/year with a 10-year package. So it boils down to "sacrificing" $20 or a blog post about them, in order to get 10 years of a fantastic service! I say do it today!

Pnosis Email about WHD - World Hypnotism Day

somebodyunfamous@yahoo.com (Mouthliquor) — 2007-12-03T17:21:00-05:00

If you're at all interested in hypnosis of any kind, then you should definitely be on this email list. Here's the most recent installment, filled with useful information and ways to get more involved in the hypnosis community. This site isn't yet at the level of www.Wendi.com but they are constantly producing and on their way. Enjoy!

Email Contents:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Pnosis' new Videos include an amazing demonstration of SpeedTrance by Cerbone and Nongard; hotshot stage hypnotist Keith Barry hypotising an audience member; and a really really strange video from Japan of... flies being hypnotized. (Thanks Knox Bronson!) Favorite hypnosis video? Send the link to Us[at]Pnosis.com.

Coming soon, the first Pnosis book review: of The Wise Mind by Marilyn Gordon.

Mayors around America (and the World) Honor World Hypnotism Day!

Dear [somebodyunfamous]:

Mayors of the following 10 cities (ok, nine mayors and one county council) have issued Proclamations to honor the fourth World Hypnotism Day, January 4th, 2008. Three more municipalities are reported ready to announce, including the first international city. (Go to the Pnosis homepage beneath breaking news for regular updates up to and in the aftermath of January 4th.)

Pnosis places these cities, their mayors, and the hypnotists who requested a proclamation on the Pnosis Honor Roll in the order in which the Proclamations were issued. (Dazzling Wendy Packer won an official Pnosis Teddy Bear for being the first. Hi Wendy!) Here's a sample from West Fargo:

PNOSIS WORLD HYPNOTISM DAY HONOR ROLL:

New Rochelle, NY, introduced by Wendy Packer;

Berkeley, CA, by Debi Livingston;

Danbury, CT, by Stephanie Dalfonzo;

Greenfield, MA, by Jean Conway;

Pinellas County, FL, by Debbie Lane;

West Fargo, ND, Mayor RIch Mattern, by Tracy Holwagner;

Eastchester, NY, by Janice Matturo;

Oyster Bay, NY, by Roch Preite;

Buckland, MA, by Debbie Yaffee;

Williston Park, NY, by Marc Carlin.

World Hypnotism Day founder Tom Nicoli chose January 4th as a perfect time for people to learn the safe, natural and effective way to create healthy habits and created the now famous World Hypnotism Day. Professional hypnotists in scores of nations hold events to celebrate hypnosis and educate the public free of charge or at nominal cost. www.worldhypnotismday.com offers free resources and sample hypnosis audio downloads. Enter your first name and email address and they are yours, free. The website also offers free e-books and an Events search engine.

World Hypnotism Day and Pnosis are not formally affiliated. (Pnosis's publisher was recently asked to serve on its steering committee, and agreed. Pnosis feels honored but hopes this is not Nicoli's way of getting extra work out of him.)

Ask your own Mayor for a Proclamation Today!

Us@Pnosis.com

PS, It is usually easy to get a WHD Proclamation from your mayor, whether you are a practitioner or a subject. How to? Go to www.worldhypnotismday.com, register, and go look for the package on how to. Takes about 5 - 10 minutes all together. A Proclamation is a nice thing to put on your wall and makes a great topic for a press release or talk radio appearance. But time is running out!

So go for the Gold (Seal). And when you get yours, don't forget to tell Pnosis so we can add you to the Honor Roll on Page One, which Pnosis will regularly update.

Codes for FREE Redbox Rentals

somebodyunfamous@yahoo.com (Mouthliquor) — 2007-11-26T16:17:00-05:00

If you don't have any idea what a Redbox is, then you probably don't need this link. However, if you have an inkling that it's a large red box stocked with current releases you can rent for only $1 a day, then you've come to the right place!!

There are imitators, but Redbox is featured at McDonald's, so it's easily one of the most popular. It also has a quirky feature that allows you to put in codes for free rentals! A site was created to catalogue all the codes, and it goes a couple steps further than just being a text-based list:

1) It allows you to report when you use a code (if it works or not, and where), then updates the list with the probability of each code actually working for you, and

2) It allows you to select your state to find the codes valid for your area.

Here you go, enjoy!

18 Tricks to Teach Your Body

somebodyunfamous@yahoo.com (Mouthliquor) — 2007-11-19T05:13:00-05:00

1. If your throat tickles, scratch your ear.

When you were 9, playing your armpit was a cool trick. Now, as an adult, you can still appreciate a good body-based feat, but you're more discriminating. Take that tickle in your throat; it's not worth gagging over. Here's a better way to scratch your itch: "When the nerves in the ear are stimulated, it creates a reflex in the throat that can cause a muscle spasm," says Scott Schaffer, M.D., president of an ear, nose and throat specialty center in Gibbsboro, New Jersey. "This spasm relieves the tickle."

2. Experience supersonic hearing!

If you're stuck chatting up a mumbler at a cocktail party, lean in with your right ear. It's better than your left at following the rapid rhythms of speech, according to researchers at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. If, on the other hand, you're trying to identify that song playing softly in the elevator, turn your left ear toward the sound. The left ear is better at picking up music tones.

3. Overcome your most primal urge!

Need to pee? No bathroom nearby? Fantasize about Jessica Simpson. Thinking about sex preoccupies your brain, so you won't feel as much discomfort, says Larry Lipshultz, M.D., chief of male reproductive medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine. For best results, try Simpson's "These Boots Are Made for Walking" video.

4. Feel no pain!

German researchers have discovered that coughing during an injection can lessen the pain of the needle stick. According to Taras Usichenko, author of a study on the phenomenon, the trick causes a sudden, temporary rise in pressure in the chest and spinal canal, inhibiting the pain-conducting structures of the spinal cord.

5. Clear your stuffed nose!

Forget Sudafed. An easier, quicker, and cheaper way to relieve sinus pressure is by alternately thrusting your tongue against the roof of your mouth, then pressing between your eyebrows with one finger. This causes the vomer bone, which runs through the nasal passages to the mouth, to rock back and forth, says Lisa DeStefano, D.O., an assistant professor at the Michigan State University college of osteopathic medicine. The motion loosens congestion; after 20 seconds, you'll feel your sinuses start to drain.

6. Fight fire without water!

Worried those wings will repeat on you tonight? "Sleep on your left side," says Anthony A. Star-poli, M.D., a New York City gastroenterologist and assistant professor of medicine at New York Medical College. Studies have shown that patients who sleep on their left sides are less likely to suffer from acid reflux. The esophagus and stomach connect at an angle. When you sleep on your right, the stomach is higher than the esophagus, allowing food and stomach acid to slide up your throat. When you're on your left, the stomach is lower than the esophagus, so gravity's in your favor.

7. Cure your toothache without opening your mouth!

Just rub ice on the back of your hand, on the V-shaped webbed area between your thumb and index finger. A Canadian study found that this technique reduces toothache pain by as much as 50 percent compared with using no ice. The nerve pathways at the base of that V stimulate an area of the brain that blocks pain signals from the face and hands.

8. Make burns disappear!

When you accidentally singe your finger on the stove, clean the skin and apply light pressure with the finger pads of your unmarred hand. Ice will relieve your pain more quickly, Dr. DeStefano says, but since the natural method brings the burned skin back to a normal temperature, the skin is less likely to blister.

9. Stop the world from spinning!

One too many drinks left you dizzy? Put your hand on something stable. The part of your ear responsible for balance—the cupula—floats in a fluid of the same density as blood. "As alcohol dilutes blood in the cupula, the cupula becomes less dense and rises," says Dr. Schaffer. This confuses your brain. The tactile input from a stable object gives the brain a second opinion, and you feel more in balance. Because the nerves in the hand are so sensitive, this works better than the conventional foot-on-the-floor wisdom.

10. Unstitch your side!

If you're like most people, when you run, you exhale as your right foot hits the ground. This puts downward pressure on your liver (which lives on your right side), which then tugs at the diaphragm and creates a side stitch, according to The Doctors Book of Home Remedies for Men. The fix: Exhale as your left foot strikes the ground.

11. Stanch blood with a single finger!

Pinching your nose and leaning back is a great way to stop a nosebleed—if you don't mind choking on your own O positive. A more civil approach: Put some cotton on your upper gums—just behind that small dent below your nose—and press against it, hard. "Most bleeds come from the front of the septum, the cartilage wall that divides the nose," says Peter Desmarais, M.D., an ear, nose, and throat specialist at Entabeni Hospital, in Durban, South Africa. "Pressing here helps stop them."

12. Make your heart stand still!

Trying to quell first-date jitters? Blow on your thumb. The vagus nerve, which governs heart rate, can be controlled through breathing, says Ben Abo, an emergency medical-services specialist at the University of Pittsburgh. It'll get your heart rate back to normal.

13. Thaw your brain!

Too much Chipwich too fast will freeze the brains of lesser men. As for you, press your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, covering as much as you can. "Since the nerves in the roof of your mouth get extremely cold, your body thinks your brain is freezing, too," says Abo. "In compensating, it overheats, causing an ice-cream headache." The more pressure you apply to the roof of your mouth, the faster your headache will subside.

14. Prevent near-sightedness!

Poor distance vision is rarely caused by genetics, says Anne Barber, O.D., an optometrist in Tacoma, Washington. "It's usually caused by near-point stress." In other words, staring at your computer screen for too long. So flex your way to 20/20 vision. Every few hours during the day, close your eyes, tense your body, take a deep breath, and, after a few seconds, release your breath and muscles at the same time. Tightening and releasing muscles such as the biceps and glutes can trick involuntary muscles—like the eyes—into relaxing as well.

15. Wake the dead!

If your hand falls asleep while you're driving or sitting in an odd position, rock your head from side to side. It'll painlessly banish your pins and needles in less than a minute, says Dr. DeStefano. A tingly hand or arm is often the result of compression in the bundle of nerves in your neck; loosening your neck muscles releases the pressure. Compressed nerves lower in the body govern the feet, so don't let your sleeping dogs lie. Stand up and walk around.

16. Impress your friends!

Next time you're at a party, try this trick: Have a person hold one arm straight out to the side, palm down, and instruct him to maintain this position. Then place two fingers on his wrist and push down. He'll resist. Now have him put one foot on a surface that's a half inch higher (a few magazines) and repeat. This time his arm will fold like a house of cards. By misaligning his hips, you've offset his spine, says Rachel Cosgrove, C.S.C.S., co-owner of Results Fitness, in Santa Clarita, California. Your brain senses that the spine is vulnerable, so it shuts down the body's ability to resist.

17. Breathe underwater!

If you're dying to retrieve that quarter from the bottom of the pool, take several short breaths first—essentially, hyperventilate. When you're underwater, it's not a lack of oxygen that makes you desperate for a breath; it's the buildup of carbon dioxide, which makes your blood acidic, which signals your brain that somethin' ain't right. "When you hyperventilate, the influx of oxygen lowers blood acidity," says Jonathan Armbruster, Ph.D., an associate professor of biology at Auburn University. "This tricks your brain into thinking it has more oxygen." It'll buy you up to 10 seconds.

18. Read minds!

Your own! "If you're giving a speech the next day, review it before falling asleep," says Candi Heimgartner, an instructor of biological sciences at the University of Idaho. Since most memory consolidation happens during sleep, anything you read right before bed is more likely to be encoded as long-term memory.

Dungeons of Daggorath

somebodyunfamous@yahoo.com (Mouthliquor) — 2007-11-18T23:50:00-05:00

I was feeling a little nostalgic and decided to look around for a game my brother and I played when we were just kids. We got a TRS-80 with two games for Christmas one year, and one of the games that I vividly remember was Dungeons of Daggorath. It's just a simple maze crawler that I don't think we ever "conquered" but it definitely leaves a lasting impression! Long story short, I was able to find a site with an emulated downloadable executable file. HOW SWEET!? Without further ado, in case you're looking for it too - PLAY IT NOW!

You're welcome.
