Free Shipping, Free Sizing and Takes PayPal

With Mother’s Day coming up in another month, I have been looking around online in order to find a nice watch to purchase for my mother. Bluedial.com has a wonderful selection of Brand name watches like Seiko, Citizen, Bulova Casio at some pretty decent prices. They offer free 2nd day shipping and free sizing. I also like that they accept PayPal, that is something that more companies need to start offering.

I found this sweet looking ladies watch by Bulova. It is reduced from $250 down to $133, which is a great deal. I think that she will love it and I think that it would look real nice on my mother’s wrist.

Unique

The other day I was rummaging around the basement and found an old jewelry box of my wife’s that had yet to be brought up to our room. When I brought it upstairs and gave it to her, she gave out a joyful shriek. “You found my copper bracelets!” She said that she had wondered where that box had gone to!

She was thrilled because she had just been looking at a jewelry website that has a large selection of copper bracelets, and was thinking about buying one from them. Now she can refresh her memory of the ones that she has so she can be sure to not order a duplicate. I noticed that while she was on their website she was also looking at their selection of earrings. She sure does love earrings, and the site had a ton of them! I’m always nervous about buying jewelry online, but they have a satisfaction guarantee and free shipping, so I guess it won’t hurt to try them out!

Tickets!

Filed under: Family, Fun, General Living — Copa @ 8:37 pm

After seeing the Jersy Boys gig on the David Letterman show I went online to see if I could afford to buy some Jersey Boys Tickets anytime in the near future.   My wife was telling me that she’d love to go see them too, but thinks that I’m putting the cart before the horse in looking to buy any kind of entertainment tickets until all of my operations are finished.

I get discouraged sometimes because every now and then I’ll hear of a great deal on tickets to some entertainer that I’d like to see – like Wachovia Center Tickets
to go see Carol King perform.  Every time my wife and I go on a long trip she brings along her Tapestry CD and we listen to that at least once.  My wife sings along to all of the songs on that album!

And I’d love to get some Jeff Dunham Tickets and see him perform!  Ventriloquism is something that I’ve always admired.  I”m glad to see that it is coming back as a popular entertainment!  A person really has to be talented to do a good job with ventriloquism!  And Jeff is one of the best!

Mail call!

Filed under: Family, Fun, General Living — Copa @ 5:41 pm

Today a big box arrived in the mail addressed to me. It was an assortment of goodies that my daughter had found up in my mother’s house, along with a birthday gift for me. A lot of the things were old brain-teaser puzzles. It was fun to pull them out and challenge my wife to see if she could figure out how to do them. One of them, called the Russian needle she did what I told her she had to accomplish, but she cheated. Of course she pointed out to me that I did not specify HOW I had to solve the puzzle, and she did accomplish the goal, so I guess she has a point there! Next time I’ll be more specific!

Remote areas

Filed under: Family, Fun, General Living — Copa @ 5:35 pm

My wife’s parents live in a very remote area that is not highly populated.  When we go to visit them, it seems like we have left all civilization behind us!  And that’s really saying something because we live in a very rural area ourselves!  Out where they live it is very poor radio reception, and up until recently they only recieved one television station!  With the digital conversion, however, we’ve convinced them to look into getting DIRECT TV.  They only have a couple of rooms with television, and for the most part it is just the two of them.

I was surprised when I went online to see what DIRECTTV options might be available for their neck of the woods, and found that there are a whole host of DIRECTV offers at reasonable prices for them. So I’m going to email them the information that I found out. I hope it helps them to make up their minds about what to do for the television entertainment needs!
