If you either received or bought for yourself a new home theater system this past Christmas and still haven’t hooked it up, maybe it’s time you got some help. Nowadays, you have DVD, surround sound, speaker wires, video game systems, DVR, satellite or cable boxes, cd-changers, and sometimes phone or internet connections to your television.…
Well the Weather Outside is Frightful
Not really. It’s actually pretty beautiful outside. All this snow all over the mountains and my yard this morning remind me of why I love to live in the mountains. It’s just so pretty outside. It sucks to drive in – not to mention all the cold weather preparations that have to be made in…
Store Food Longer, Safer
Bachelors – those of us who cook often keep a good bit of leftovers in the fridge, which can be a horribly gross clean-up later when it comes time to glean expired food from the fridge to throw away. Food, especially produce, releases ethylene gas as it loses freshness after harvesting or picking. This gas…
Don’t Be Dumb: Avoid Blizzard Fever

Nowadays, the internet makes it possible to…

Looking For an Affiliate Marketing Idea? Try Pepperjam!
My roommate loves the food, pepperjam. His mom makes it, and it’s very peppery. I’m not a huge fan of peppers outside of their natural form for cooking. I usually use them when I’m making something and I’ll chop them up for extra flavor. However, this Affiliate Marketing program, Pepperjam, spices up your income! Most…
Red Box DVD Rentals
This week I discovered our local Ingle’s grocery store has a new vending machine – Red Box. This may be one of the coolest ideas ever.
