Want a laugh? Etsy has some really odd stuff for sale

found on ebayTrolling through eBay auction listings can offer a laugh or two, with the misspellings, grammar, and unusual photographs with naked people in the background of shots (the infamous eBay teakettle, anyone?).

Have you wandered over to etsy.com?  Etsy is an auction site just like eBay, but instead of offering ready-made items available at the local store, Etsy is a community of sellers who make their own items for sale.  Some have called Etsy an “eBay for arts-and-crafts”.

Are you a DINK? Prove otherwise with “The Office Kid”

Games for kids in officesSometimes offices and cubicles can be intimidating, what with all the flower deliveries and personal knick-knacks on everyone’s desk.

DINKs (dual-income, no kids) have it rough by not being able to showcase their loving home life to their surrounding co-workers.

If this is you, then you may want THE OFFICE KID.

Products to Help Check Yourself for Breast Cancer

breast cancer self exam aidNational Feel Your Boobies Week continues…

There are a few products on the market that can help you perform a monthly self-exam with more confidence and accuracy than if you didn’t use these products.

One common complaint from women performing a breast self-examination is that they don’t know what they’re feeling for.   The PLEXUS PINK BREAST CHEK KIT is a small sponge pad that feels like breast tissue.   Inside the sponge is a small slit that you can place different size pellets.

With the pellets inside, running your finger on the outside of the breast chek kit should give you an idea of what a lump or similar area would feel like in your own breast.  Sometimes, just knowing what you’re looking for is half the battle in early detection.

How To Figure Out How Much Your Sandwich Costs

Noon rolls around and you have to ask yourself – what do I want to have for lunch?

Do I buy that $4.59 sub sandwich at the grocery store?

Do I get the $2.99 Extra Value Meal at the local fast-food restaurant?

What about bringing my lunch to work?  Everyone says that it’s cheaper to bring a sandwich than it is to buy one while you’re out… but the expense and planning of having to get a loaf of bread, some cold cuts and cheeses, a condiment or two… that’s a pretty expensive outing too, isn’t it?

How To Get Rid of Unwanted Books: Sell them Online!

bookshopIf you are like Web Watch, you probably have shelf upon shelf of books all around the house.

Books stacked in corners, piled away in boxes, placed on nightstands.

Books are good things to have around… but sometimes you end up with tons of books that you just don’t need anymore.  Maybe you’ve outgrown them, maybe you just don’t need to keep that series of Tom Clancy novels “just in case” you decide to read them again.

Sure you could sell them for $0.25 each at a neighborhood garage sale (if you’re lucky enough to get that much for them), or you could donate the books to a local library or assisted-living facility.

But Web Watch has a better idea:  try selling your books online.

Halloween Poll: What is this year’s “IT” costume going to be?

A Christmas StoryIt’s that time again.

Time for creative-minded folks to start thinking about what they want to slap together for Halloween.

And this year, with Halloween falling on a Saturday, you just know that the costumes have to be more amazing than ever.

Oh sure, there will be the standard “couples” costumes that cutesy dating couples have to do:  Jon & Kate should be a favorite (put on an Ed Hardy shirt and walk around brooding, and you’ll win first place).  Paula Abdul, Michael Jackson, and the Octomom will make their appearances as well.

But here are the important things to remember when putting together your Halloween costume:
