I like to read a news website called ananova.com, because it often has interesting and quirky stories that I can’t find on other news websites.  I was just reading a news story dated September 16 about a German Shepard dog in Arizona that had been trained to push the speed dial for 911 if his owner had a seizure had the opportunity to do just that recently, and saved his owner’s life.  The rescue people had been alerted that the dog was trained and if he called them to send out rescue, and that is what happened!  The dog saved the man’s life!  Isn’t that cool?

I found Teri looking at maternity clothes on the Internet today from the kikisfashions.com website.  She’s been talking a lot lately about getting married and starting a family; her biological clock is ticking!  Of course, her best friend being pregnant is adding to that pressure to procreate!

She said one of the reasons she was looking at this website was that her girlfriend gave her some promotion codes:  Free shipping over $75 (coupon code: freeship) and 15% Off your entire order (coupon code: fall2008; this code expires 10-15-08.)

She was looking at some really cute clothes.  They have women’s fashions in junior sizes, and plus sizes, not just maternity clothes.  Teri wants to order a few things from their site because they are having a sale right now.  Their prices are pretty reasonable, even on the clothes that are not on sale.

I just heard on the car radio on the way home from work this evening that Paul Newman died yesterday at the age of 83. I was really sorry to hear that, he was one movie star that I really admired. Along with his great talents, he was a man with a true mission to better the world by creating his food label Newman’s Own that donated millions of dollars to charity.

He was one of the good guys. He will be missed.

Time is money.  This is specially true in the business world.  A company does not want their employees to waste any time.  “Time’s a wastin’” is the same thing as “Wasting money” in the corporate world.  In this worsening horrific economy, everyone and every business are struggling to make ends meet.  That is why it is even more important to find the best deals on equipment and supplies.  There is a website called officedeals.info that is designed to help the consumer (whether a private individual or a business) find the best online deals, promotion codes, coupons and discounts, for office supplies such as Vistaprint business cards, software, computers, office furniture, and back-to-school supplies.

The site helps the consumer to save time by putting everything on one website so you don’t have to try to remember where to look, what the company’s URL is to go from one URL to another, you just go to this site and click on the different links to the different companies and it will show you their offerings.

Their associated merchants include such big name companies such as Staples, Office Max, and Office Depot, and Dell Computer.  According to their home page, they are linked to over thirty different business-related companies that offer great ways to help the consumer save money on their office and back-to-school needs.
