How many cloth diapers does one family need?

FuzziBunz® One Size Cloth Diapers 12 Pack Gender Neutral (new) Colors with Dainty Baby Reusable Bag Bundle, Colors May Vary
FuzziBunz® One Size Cloth Diapers
12 Pack Gender Neutral (new) Colors

New parents often have a dilemma to decide, sometimes even before they try to have kids in the first place: are they going to be a “disposable” family or a “cloth” family?

More and more, the trend in eco-friendly parenting is to go with the cloth diapers.  Technology has caught up to the absorbent fabrics being used, and they don’t have the stigma that going natural used to have in the past (“unexpected leakage” being the predominant concern).

Black Faux Leather Fashion Steel Boned Corset

Men, you like the corsets, don’t you?

Of course you do. You find them sexy on pretty much any woman who goes through the effort of putting on one for you.

But would you feel the same if the tables were turned, and YOU were the one to wear a Male Corset?  Well, it could happen — Asda in the UK is now selling a male corsetOf course, Asda doesn’t go as far as to call it a corset — that wouldn’t do well for sales, would it?

Make your own Customized Crayola Crayon Box

Crayola Crayon 6464-crayon Crayolas

There is a hierarchy of crayons in school.

The average child starts out with the standard 8-color box of Crayola crayons.  Web Watch is quite fond of this one, as we never really got past the fact that there are different color Reds and Blues in today’s world. To us, it’s either “red” or “blue”, with none of those various shades.

As you got older, you would get the 16 or 24-count box of Crayolas.

Eventually, you’d be lucky enough to get the holy grail: the famed 64-count box of Crayola Crayons with the built-in sharpener in the box.

Eventually, even that was too boring, and Crayola came out with the 128-count box. Yeah, those kids were living the good life.  They may not have been able to draw worth a darn, but they had all the tools available if they tried.

Here’s a way to make money by getting rid of those unwanted, unused gift cards

$25 iTunes Gift Card$25 iTunes Gift Card

Web Watch went to a charity auction a few years ago and won a silent auction for a handful of restaurant gift cards, for restaurants that we would actually go to.

We used three of the four cards, which more than made up for the overall cost paid at the auction.  Yet we have one card left that we just haven’t gotten around to using.

And this week we found out that the restaurant it was for just closed.  We know we could travel around the country and use the gift card at one of their other locations, but we really doubt we’ll be visiting one of those cities anytime soon.  Just saying.

Man sues Hotel over “free” Newspaper

USA Today

Web Watch likes staying at hotels, especially nice ones.

The rooms are typically clean, comfortable.  Staff service is friendly and they go out of their way to make us feel welcome and safe when travelling in an unfamiliar city.

One recent hotel stay even had the front desk manager give us a complimentary bottle of wine when we checked in after the “complimentary wine hour” was over.  Granted, while it was drinkable wine, it wasn’t anything overly high-end.  Still, the thought was there and the wine was certainly enjoyed that evening.  We’ll definitely be back to that hotel again.

Shopping tip: Beauty products and cosmetics have expiration dates

Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter without Me
Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter without Me

Web Watch has talked about how much trouble that cosmetics can get you into, but that’s not going to stop women and men from buying beauty products on a regular basis.

But some people end up buying more than they need (hello, Costco and Sam’s Club shoppers! We’re looking at you!  And those Extreme Couponers with their hoard).

Wal-Mart refuses to refund $2.90; throws couple in jail (charges were later dropped)

Chicken Head Mask
Buy a CHICKEN HEAD MASK

Wal-Mart has a policy of having “greeters” at the front door of all their stores.

One of the jobs that the greeters and security staff are tasked with is to double-check receipts to ensure that everything that is being carried out has been paid for per the receipt.

Mary Hill Bonin and her husband are suing Wal-Mart for the Wal-Mart staff doing their job.

Unfortunately, it’s the Wal-Mart staff that allegedly appears to have acted inappropriately in this case.  All Mary and “Ricky” wanted to do was buy $2.90 worth of chicken necks.  According to the Wal-Mart security guard, the chicken neck was being shoplifted – that is, being taken out of the store without having been paid for.
