Did You Hear About the Little Boy's Response?

Archie Brown was sitting in his easy chair, channel surfing. He was looking for something his grandkids might like to watch on Christmas Eve morning. The six year old was playing with some cars on the floor, the eight year old was reading and the 11 year old was rubbing the sleep from her eyes. When the menu on the tv displayed the name of a movie, "Heidi", Archie spoke the word.

Without looking up, the six year old replied, "Hello."

Archie had to laugh.

Did You Hear About Free Money Making Info?

Archie brown is like many others who came to the Internet to make some money. He has sold items on ebay and added links to his blog for advertisers, but he has the feeling there should be more ways an ordinary guy could benefit from the web. Archie had never thought about using the ideas in the public domain!

Today he found a place that describes many ways that offer ideas for opening new avenues of revenue. Many of these ideas have formerly been available at a price, but this new site is free. Free is Archie's favorite price, especially when it also brings about invaluable information!

Did You Hear About My Sensitve Tooth?

Archie Brown has never liked going to the dentist. But this spring he had a little trouble with sensitive teeth, mostly with one of his lower left molars. When he drank something cold he had a sharp pain. And even when he was running, when he drew a deep breath, his tooth ached.

he did not want to see the dentist, but he was to go on a trip to the Caribbean island of Dominica. The facilities there are not quite up to our standards, so Archie went to get the tooth taken care of so he would not have to see a dentist on the island! The tooth got filled and capped.

But on the second day of the trip, the cap came off Archie's tooth. Rather than go to an island dentist, he suffered through the trip till he could get home and to his dentist.

Archie had tried some of the so called sensitive tooth pastes, but they did not cure anything, only covered the symptoms. Then he had a neighbor that received a free sample of Biotene tooth paste for sensitive teeth. Its formula is designed to diminish the problems, not simply mask them. A tube is now on Archie's counter in the master bathroom!

Did You Hear About Buying a New TV?

When Archie Brown was searching for the high definition television set that would be right for him, he went to the web site for Krillion.com. Krillion is a clearing house of information about electronics and appliances.

Archie looked at sony HDTV sets and Samsung LCD HD sets, and Panasonic Plasma televisions. He was then able to know the best television for him and where he could get the best deal on that product right in his hometown. It was win/win!

Did You Hear About Gasoline Credit Cards?

It seems, according to a recent web release, that credit card providers have come up with another vehicle for their products that might be very appealing to consumers. Gasoline Credit Cards should become very attractive as the price of fuel continues to climb to record rates.

Archie Brown personally has a card that allows ten cents per gallon discount on his gasoline purchases. It makes him feel good to know that he saves from $1.50 to $2.10 per fill up at the pumps. Several companies now are offering fuel discounts as the rewards for using their credit cards. Maybe it is time for you to consider making a change in the card you use.

Did You Hear About Romney's Speech on Religion?

Archie Brown read that Mitt Romney is making a speech today in Texas, reminiscent of the speech John Kennedy made in Houston in 1960. In that speech, Kennedy put to rest in the minds of many voters the fear that he would bring his Catholicism into his presidency. Romney is still feared by about one third of evangelicals that he will introduce his Mormonism into his governance. Archie wonders if Romney will be as effective today as JFK was in 1960.

Did You Hear About The Shortage of Silver?

When Archie Brown was a little boy he loved the Saturday cowboy shows, especially the Lone Ranger. It was probably because of that big white horse named Silver and the silver bullets used by the Lone Ranger that Archie grew to love silver. That's probably why he was interested in the Web release that indicates that the world supply of the precious metal is rapidly diminishing because the demand is much higher than the production. That has been the case for the last 17 years. It made Archie think perhaps now is the best time to buy some silver as an investment. There soon may not be enough for him to be able to afford any.

Did You Hear About The Sunglasses for Runners?

Archie Brown began jogging with his six and seven year old grandsons in July. Last weekend they entered a charity run near their home. The boys ran one K, while Archie ran five. It was their first such run, and Archie realized quickly that a good pair of sunglasses would be advisable for such events.

So Arch went to Optic Planet.com to check out the selection of Ray-Ban and other designer brands of shades. He found what he wanted for himself and he found some affordable models that he decided to get for the boys, to help encourage them to keep up their running. The sunglasses will be great stocking stuffers.

Archie had no worry about ordering from Optic Planet, as they guarantee satisfaction, as well as free ground shipping on orders of $29.95 or more.
