What, did you think I was just gonna post without offering something as well?

Wow, I just noticed it’s been eleven (11!!!!) days since I last wrote anything here…didn’t realize I was gone for that long, damn. Life gets crazy sometimes, finally got away on a bit of a summer vacation (after talking about em since June lol). I hope you’ve all been well, I see there was some craziness while I was gone, lol, looks like Hilary went bonkers in the Congo, Bill pushed his Korea trip in Harlem (while talking about how great Hil is, of course…which, really, is what spouses should do for one another…funny that the one accused of being less faithful puts on a better face in public…or is it?), and Obama and Company are pushing ever-toward a United Socialist America…this is what I get for taking my bi-annual vacation, I guess!

Of course, one of the all-time traditions of summer vacations is taking pictures, it’s so interesting to watch people change over the years. For that matter, it’s pretty cool to look at how technology has changed over the years, too, and I gotta say…I don’t miss having to spend $1 per picture for Polaroid™ film or having to drop off and pick up developed photos. Of course, if you have older photos, they probably haven’t aged as well as the people in them…or maybe they have…and it’s scary!

So if you’ve got old photos, I recommend you check out these guys, they specialize in restoring old photos. They’ve gotten rave reviews from CNNMoney, Popular Photography, and Ancestry Magazine. They clean up scratches and fading and they color correct, all by hand. The most important part is they guarantee the safe handling of your photos, which as we all know are usually irreplacable. They can provide cleanups of slides, negatives, and prints, and they even send you the shipping materials to ensure the protection of your memories. You can try 20 scans for free, just pay S&H.

Over 25 million images scanned and repaired…save your photo heirlooms today!

When I saw this, my first thought was, “Awwwww”…and almost choked on the “his & hers” dealio. But then I saw the page, it’s cute without being saccharine (which, admittedly, they sure could have waaaaay overdone it…and if it were me, I would have waaaaay overdone it, cuz I woulda thought it was hilarious…but that’s just me ). A little bit of the ol’ ice melted away, and I decided this is a really cool offer and a great way to kick off the weekend (yeah, yeah, I know it’s Saturday, but for all intents and purposes this is a Friday Giveaway…so bear with me and just play along…’kay? We’ll all be good then ).

If you’ve read this site before, you probably already know this, but for the newcomers, here goes: you’re gonna have to enter your email address first and foremost (I highly suggest you get a new email address before doing this…I’m sorry it’s taking so long, but we’re working on a solution to get you guys email addresses you can use just for this, without using so-called “gennet”—i.e., yahoo, hotmail, etc.—email addresses…should be ready in a few weeks—I hope). You’ll go through a couple pages of offers…just be smart about what you want, and for Pete’s sake (that’s my parrot, btw…Pete the Parrot, friend to Steve the Pirate) read the fine print!!! I’m like heart attack triple bypass dead serious on that point…you need to read the fine print (yeah, yeah, you can do whatever you like, but if you’re smart about it, you can really get a great deal with the two BlackBerry™ Bolds without being careless).

Don’t delay, act today! (I love that phrase…as y’all know by now )

Alright, alright…I don’t do too many of the “monthly subscription” things, unless I really believe they’ll save you money. As with any subscription, please please PLEASE be sure to read ALL of the terms and conditions, and make sure the subscription is right for you…especially when it comes to this cell phone stuff. You’ve gotta be the account owner or have authorization of the account holder to subscribe, and you must be 18 or older in Florida to subscribe. Minimum age restrictions may apply elsewhere, too.

Okay, now that I’ve gotten that outta the way, we can get to the good stuff! So you can get bonus ringtones with only $9.99 a month subscription. Your subscription gets you 5 extra credits (on top of your 20 per month), usable on different types of content…games, jokes, horoscopes, ringtones, whatever. Now I don’t know about you, but $9.99 a month will only buy me like 4 ringtones…so even if I got 5 or 6 ringtones out of it I’d be happy!

Enter cell. Enter PIN. Download ringtones.

Alrighty…here’s our other offer for the day, and in keeping with the coupon theme, I bring you the 777 Discount Club…it really is like winning the coupon jackpot!!! You can save $100’s every month at brand name restaurants, stores, hotels, and more…and the best part is, you get a free trial! It’s only $25/month if you find it’s worthwhile to you…and personally, I think if you save $25.01 a month you’re already ahead…and I expect you can save so much more! Amazon.com, Baskin Robbins, McDonald’s, Burger King, Verizon, Curves, Budget…these are just a few of the great stores…plus there are a ton of online savings as well.

Now, if you’re like me, you’ve scoured eBay for AT&T-unlocked iPhone 3GS’s (if you haven’t, and you wanna, there’s a linked to AT&T-unlocked iPhones to your right, under “Hand-Picked Deals”). However…if you’re already on AT&T, and you don’t have an iPhone yet (come on, catch up with the times! lol), these guys are givin’ em away for FREE. You’re gonna have to fill out some offers, some of them may require a credit card, but I recommend you watch what you’re doing, stick to free trials and use a separate email address for this stuff…and go get your free iPhone 3GS!

Test and keep a free iPhone 3GS!

If you use Facebook, you know how tough it can be to do updates or check up on things while you’re supposed to be doing something else. Thankfully, the people over at Ask.com found a way to take care of that little “issue” for you…now you can update your status, check your news feed, and keep up on your notifications…from any website! If you stop a second and think about that…that’s pretty darn cool! Sure makes me glad I don’t have anyone workin’ for me

They’re givin away 17″ MacBook Pros, with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core Duo, with 512 MB of video memory, 4 GB of RAM, and a 320 GB SATA hard drive (hey…that’s waaaay better than my old 1.33 GHz PowerBook G4 lol!).
