It’s that point in the summer where even my kids are bored. After a hard year of school, they started out the summer wanting to do absolutely nothing: Sleep late, have sleepovers with friends, stay up late, not have to pack lunch, and spend every day doing whatever they felt like. Some of my fondest [...]

I have gotten several announcements lately about services I wish I could try out. I usually only cover things here that I’ve tried and like. But I’m curious about these and — for one reason or another — can’t test them. Maybe you would like to try them and report in the comments?
Here they are:
PassporttoPrana.com. [...]

All this talk of Mother’s Day (because of my giveaway and the subsequent “wish lists” my fascinating readers are sharing there) made me think of something a friend said recently. It stuck with me because his comment exposed a part of him that I think every wife and mother would want to run right over [...]

I recently got a pitch from a public relations professional who works for Weight Watchers. I get this sort of pitch all the time and they are often informative, usually about the product the PR person is being paid to represent. I rarely run them here. But I’m making an exception this time because Charlie [...]

Every time I go on a trip – or take a work-at-home-day – I have to stop before I leave my office, gaze into my crystal ball and ask it, “What files will I need while I’m away from my computer?”
My crystal ball is crap. Because more than half the time, I forget the one [...]

Sometimes I think the world has gone “App” crazy. Just yesterday, I responded with urgency to what sounded like an all-out cat fight in my living room. (We have two cats. They do fight but usually in an amiable way.) When I rushed to the fur-flinging scene though, I discovered the ruckus was being caused [...]

I am pretty much done when it comes to Christmas shopping. But there is always a last minute item or two that escaped my advance-planning-and-take-advantage-of-free-shipping-and-online-sales campaign. It’s inevitable. I will probably think of it today since yesterday was free shipping day.
So this morning I’ve been taking Milo.com for a spin. (Mostly because the company has [...]

I have been literally pelted with announcements, predictions, and analysis of the year’s biggest shopping day – Black Friday, upcoming on Friday – and the year’s biggest online shopping day –CyberMonday, upcoming the Monday after turkey Day. This herd behavior as regards shopping has never really appealed to me. I know there are deals to [...]

I’ve been trying to find time all week to go to Costco but haven’t managed it. So I thought this might be a good time to try out Alice.com. This grocery shopping site launched earlier this year, offers free shipping on every order, keeps track of your grocery list, and reminds you when you might [...]
