One Thing I Love About the Internet - A Story About Saab Parts

You know what I love about the internet?  You can always find a site that specializes in exactly what you need.  Well, maybe not always but most of the time right .

So here’s a great example: a friend of mine has a Saab.  He really likes this car, but I’m not sure if he has an easy time finding parts for it when he needs to.  So just the other day I learned about this site called SwedishParts.net which carries all sorts of Saab parts. So now, if he ever has a problem and needs to get a part, he’s good to go! If you have a Saab or Volvo, you’ll want to check these guys out as well!

Anyway, just a short random thought for you today about one reason why I love the internet!

I Need a New Cell Phone

My cell phone is having major problems.  It’s really random, but it just shuts off whenever it feels like it.  As you can imagine this makes it hard to receive calls sometimes because I won’t even know it’s shut off and may have missed a few calls.  Not cool.  Case in point, I just pulled it out of my pocket and it decided to turn off again!  Grrrrr….

So it’s time for a new phone.  My wife and I have been looking at a couple of different options, comparing plans etc.  I’m not overly satisfied with the free TMobile phones that I’ve gotten from them, in fact that’s what I have right now and it’s having problems. Other than that though, TMobile has been pretty good to work with as a cell phone company.

But I’m thinking that we’re going to switch providers in a few months once our contract expires.  We’ve been looking at a few AT&T cell phones and they look pretty good. There are also some really good
Sprint phones as well.

Sweet Luminox Watches!

So all this snow and talk about the weather and what not has gotten me thinking about the outdoors.  It’s actually weird to admit, but I haven’t been camping or hiking in a long long time, although I’d definitely like to.

One thing’s for sure - if you’re going to be outdoors a lot you need to make sure that you have the right gear.  That’s where stores like SierraAdventureGear.com come in handy!  If you’re into being outdoors and want to get a good deal on all the latest stuff, you should check out their site.

Have you seen these really cool watches made by Luminox? These are some really sweet watches if you ask me! Here’s a quick quote from SierraAdventureGear.com that explains a little bit more about these watches better than I could:

The Luminox self-powered illumination–Luminox Light Technology (LLT) allows one to view time-at-a-glance, no matter what the light level, even in complete darkness. Each Luminox watch employs tiny self-powered micro gas lights developed by the world leader in the luminous compound industry. These micro gas lights are installed into the hands, hour markers, and when necessary, bezels of our watches. The Luminox Watch is the ultimate Swiss self-powered illumination system.

The Swiss really know how to make some sweet watches! I had a Swiss watch for years actually, then the battery died and I never got it replaced. But still, it was a great watch!

Pearls for Christmas?

Does anyone else think that pearls are just cool?  I mean diamonds are nice and all, but when you think about the way pearls look and how they’re made, you have to admit that they are pretty unique.  A few years ago we bought my wife a pearl ring and she wears it all of the time!

So when you’re thinking of gifts to buy for your wife or girlfriend, what about pearls?  They’re unique, and they make a great Christmas present!  Especially black pearls!

If you’re into pearls or want to consider them for a Christmas gift, you should check out the site ThePearlOutlet.com.  They have a very large selection of all sorts of pearl products including Tahitian pearls, freshwater pearls, pearl necklaces, pearl earrings, and more!

They also have a lot of really interesting information about the differences between the different types of pearls, how the pearls are farmed, and other interesting stuff. Read more on their Pearl Basics page.

Overall I have to say that I’m really impressed with this site.  They give a lot of good information about pearls and have some really beautiful settings for them.  You can even choose from different clasps!

So get your wife or girlfriend something really unique this Christmas…a quality piece of pearl jewelry from ThePearlOutlet.com!

Holiday Wedding? Use a ‘The Knot’ Coupon Code!

I got married in the heat of July.  But sometimes i think that it would have been kind of fun to have a winter or Holiday themed wedding.  Think about it, you have the joy of the season already, and then you just add to that by getting married.  Then every year you can refer back to it and it’s great!

Do you know anyone that is getting married this time of year?  Well, if you do you should check out the website TheKnot.com.  These guys are a great source for wedding gifts, cakes, help with vows, wedding planning, and everything else that has to do with weddings!

And while you’re thinking of buying stuff from TheKnot.com, make sure to visit Savings.com and get a The Knot coupon code. They have several that include10% coupons, 25-50% off selected items, and more.

Let’s face it, with things going a little crazy in the economy right now, it’s a great time to look for as many savings as you can.  So going online and getting coupon codes is a great way to do that.  It also helps add to the joy of both the Holiday season and a wedding because you’re not spending as much on it!

Holiday Glasses!

To a lot of people glasses are just another accessory that you can use to enhance your style.  In fact, I remember I had a roommate that had a fake pair of glasses that he would wear at times.  What can I say, he was a little more into fashion than most guys I know.

But I know that there are a lot of people out there that will have different frames that they can use to fit their outfit, but when you think about it that can get pretty expensive pretty quick!

Well, this is another reason why ZenniOptical is great.  They have really inexpensive frames so you can buy a bunch of them to use with your wardrobe, and not break the bank doing it!

Right now they are offering a great selection of Holiday frames to wear during the Holiday season.  The way I look at it is that this could be a great thing to talk about at parties, and I’m sure that people will notice your new look over the coming months.

Now, just because I called them “Holiday frames” doesn’t mean they are all themed for the Christmas season.  Quite the contrary!  They have some with flowers printed on them, some with geometric designs, etc.  So no matter what your style, you should be able to find something you like!

Looking for Work Boots?

I know a lot of guys out there like to wear work boots whether they’re working or not.  Good thing there are companies that only specialize in them!

I actually came across one today called WorkBootsUSA.com.  They have a huge selection of all sorts of work boots from companies like Caterpillar, Danner, Wolverine, Magnum, Timberland, and more.

It seems like not too long ago I would always see tons of guys walking around in their work boots all the time.  i haven’t noticed lately, but has that trend changed?  Any body else notice this a while back?

Well, either way WorkBootsUSA.com is a great place for work boots.  Check them out!

Good Deals on Movado Watches

When it comes to the high end, classy watches, I’ve always thought that Movado made some pretty nice watches.  I just think they have a really unique style!

I mean seriously, this kind of watch really shows some class.  The other thing that I really like about Movado watches is that they also have a real modern look to them.  Black face, no number on it…nice!

There really are a lot of nice watches out there.  And a great site for getting nice watches is TheWatchery.com.  They have a great selection of Movado watches, Gucci, Chanel, Citizen, and a lot of other really nice classy watches.

One thing that I really liked about this site is that they give you multiple options for searching around and finding whatever you need.  You can search by brand, price range, or gender.  This makes finding the right watch for yourself (or for a gift if that’s what you’re after) much easier to accomplish.

Right now TheWatchery.com is offering a huge discount on some of their watches.  In fact they have some on their site for up to 75% off retail!  Not bad!  They have also been a power seller on eBay since 1999, so they’ve been around for a while and know what they’re doing when it comes to watches.

Into Sewing? Linen N Things Coupons!

So for the last couple of weeks my wife has been debating getting a sewing machine so that she can sew some curtains, clothes for the kids and whatever other projects she can come up with.  I think that she talked herself out of it for now, but I think that if she had the time to do it she would be great at it!  The only problem is that with two little boys running (or rolling) around, she doesn’t have a lot of time for that kind of thing.

But if she did, she’d be all over coupons for this kind of stuff!  So if you’re the kind of person that likes to sew, you should use some of these Linens N Things coupons and save on your regular purchases.

I know a lot of people are feeling a little more of a pinch on their pocketbooks right now, so using coupons like this really is a good idea.

Seriously, one of the best things about doing your shopping online (or just research) is that you can find great deals and discount codes for just about everything. Savings.com is a great site for all of these things.  So check out Savings.com, who knows, they might have a coupon that you could use today even!
