Savvy shoppers should enter the Cart Me Away contest!

by

Who wants to win a contest? Not just any contest. It’s a shopping contest.

Ah I see I’ve got your attention.

Well if you enjoy shopping I think you’ll really like the Cart Me Away contest that Shop.com is going to be holding in July. You could win a $1000 shopping spree at Shop.com!

This is actually part two of the Cart Me Away contest. The contest is said to be a cross between Sex in the City and the popular game show The Price is Right.

I think this sounds like a really fun contest. I don’t know about you, but when it starts on July 1st I’m going to be sure to enter.

I don’t know the exact details of Cart Me Away 2, but I do know that it will begin on July 1st and end on July 28th. Weeks one and two of the Cart Me Away contest are called Bermuda and The Book Club Story.

I imagine that the new contest will be similar to the first Cart Me Away contest that was held earlier this year. In the first contest participants were given a story line to follow with scenarios such as Throwing a dinner party, Romantic French getaway, Shopping for a Hawaiian Paradise, and Escaping to New York. Sounds interesting doesn’t it?

If the second part of this contest is like the first, you’ll be given a daily shopping budget and then you’ll have to shop for items that match that spending budget right down to the cent. If you’re a savvy shopper and your items add up to the correct amount you’ll be entered into a one thousand dollar shopping spree at shop.com and win your shopping offers.

Bookmark the Cartmeaway.com website and be sure to put a memo on your calendar reminding you that the contest starts on July 1st. Who wouldn’t want to win a $1000 shopping spree? I know I’d love to!





Did I miss my ride?

It was so hot here yesterday that I only wish a car filled with people armed with water guns would have driven by while I was outside!

Wow take a look at the drivers seat! Was this a prank or were they trying to get somewhere? I really don’t know.

Looking at this, well the water gun made me thing of running through sprinklers when I was a kid. That was always fun.

We do have a water gun but I use it to spray the pigeons and squirrels that keep coming into my garden. It’s fun and it works! for a little while anyway.

Get treated like a VIP with MDVIP

by

If you feel like your doctor doesn’t pay attention to you when you visit him or her, or perhaps your HMO doesn’t let you or your family see a doctor as often as you feel that’s needed you might be interested in looking into MDVIP where they practice something that’s known as Concierge Medicine.

MDVIP is a health care program where the doctors are able to give more focused care to their patients. In fact, the doctors only take on a limited patient load in order to devote more of their time and attention to their current patients.

The focus at MDVIP is preventive medicine. By that I mean the doctors that work with MDVIP provide more detailed and thorough screenings and checkups for their patients in order to catch any illnesses or disorders early or in fact prevent them from occurring in the first case.

Patients are actually given their doctors cell phone or beeper number that they may call day or night if they feel it’s necessary. Now that’s VIP service isn’t it. I’m actually kind of surprised that they offer that level of service!

Now, I live in Canada and we have a great health care system but one of the things we don’t get is such personalized healthcare. That’s one advantage Americans have over us.

If MDVIP sounds like a great health care program you can visit the MDVIP website and learn more about switching over. There’s quite a bit of information on the site including patient testimonials, an FAQ and information about joining the program.

Feeling sucky today

I feel like such a whiner these days. It seems that each day that goes by I just feel worse and worse. Yet at the same time I’m so sick of doctors appointments that don’t seem to help.

I think I’ve tried every kind of medication for Crohn’s there is. I’ve tried bland diets, elimination diets, lived on broth and jello … there’s just not much else that I can do.

I could live with some of the symptoms that I have if I could just get the pain level down. Yeah, I’m on pain meds too …

If you need a criminal lawyer …

by

I hope that no one ever needs the services of Los Angeles Criminal & DUI Lawyers, but I thought that I’d let you know of the services of an experienced team of lawyers in case you ever do find yourself in a court room needed a good defense attorney.

Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin are a team of former L.A. prosecutors and a law professor who specialize in aggressive courtroom defense. Together they have over 50 years experience. They are experienced in defending people in federal cases, felonies and misdemeanors, juvenile crime, 3 strike crimes, DUI and many other types of criminal cases.

As I said, I do hope that no one ever really needs the services of a criminal lawyer but if you ever find that you do visit their website to learn more about their practice and the cases they’ve defended in the past.
