My brother Rick was telling me that the company that makes Timberland Boots is one of the large companies that tries to lower their impact on the environment, and to treat all of their employees with dignity and respect.  They have 290 factories in 35 countries.  They have a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility.  I’m always surprised when I hear good things about large companies because there is always so much publicity about corporate greed, and very little publicity about companies that are doing good things! Rick also told me that the copshoes.com website is now selling Timberland Boots, and they are offering a 10% discount on everything through July 6th - just use the promotion coupon code July-4-09 at checkout!

What is it with women and their never-ending quest for shoes?  Teri seems to feel the need to have a separate pair of shoes for every outfit that she owns!  And at least two pairs of shoes in every color in the rainbow!  And of course, matching handbags with the shoes!  Me, I have a couple pairs of dress shoes, a couple pair of casual, and a comfy pair of sneakers.  What more could a person need?  

I’m going to have to be talking to Teri soon about how we are supposed to store all of her shoes.  They seem to be taking over the place!  I don’t think she has every thrown a pair of shoes away in her life!  I think I’m going to encourage her to try on her older shoes to see if they still fit, and suggest that if they are too small that maybe it is time to donate them to a charity sponsored thrift store.  Thankfully when Teri decides she needs new shoes, she uses a website that offers online coupons for discount shoes.  The website, bestcouponsonline.com offers good deals on shoes for most of the major shoe retailers that Teri likes to frequent.

With more people staying home for their vacations, I suspect that there will be a higher demand for Direct Satellite TV services.  People are cutting back on many of their expenditures, but let’s face it, you need to find ways to entertain your kids.  One of the most popular ways to entertain people is through watching television.  And having a Direct TV service that gives you hundreds of channels makes it more likely that you can find a show that is actually worth watching!

Satellite Directv provides a wide variety of channeling and is often available in places where cable television isn’t.  The only setback I can think of is that sometimes you are limited to the number of television sets that you can hook up to the service before having to pay an extra charge.  And sometimes the service does not include the Internet, so you need to be taking a look at that as well.

No doubt about it, people are trying to find as many ways as possible to save money.  Comparison shopping seems to be at an all-time high.  It is not unusual to overhear office conversations between co-workers about how they are trying to save money and find the best car insurance rate or the best price on groceries.  I can’t recall a time when people have been paying such close attention to how they are spending their money.
