Best Buy false advertising

This weeks Best Buy Advertisement had some great deals. i went down and bought a dell inspiron 15 for $399, comes with a free windows 7 upgrade and 6 months free spyware.

what got me upset is the advertisement said it came with it camewith a webcam and a microphone. when i got to the store, i found out it did not. there was no sign or anything. So i tried to negotiate with the sales man for a free webcam. Didn’t work out very  well. They did have a laptop with a webcam for $100 dollars more.

after talking to the salesman, and him checking the stock of the computer. he removed the price tag and there was a note that said . OUr advertisement was incorrect, this laptop does not come with a webcam or microphone.   False advertising is wrong and i think illegal.

SO HERE IS MY QUESTION FOR YOU BEST BUY.

where is my free webcam and microphone?

So proud of him again

I’m a little late on this one

i wrote about mt hubby jack getting a award back in December i think. well this may he got to more. he received another student excellence award and the peterbourgh award(i probably spelled that wrong).   I’m so proud of him he has been doing such a great job in school.

He was set to graduate in may, but decided to stay on for another year and go for another bs. so in may of next year he will graduate with a bs in chemistry concentration in biochemistry and a bs in biology!

it’s been a long road but he is doing a great job. not to mention he has had a 4.0 all 4 yrs, even having to deal with me and 3 kids under the age of 5.

So What review

So What: How to Communicate What Really Matters to Your Audience is about finding the connections you crave, securing the interview you’ve longed for and getting the job you want can all be acieved by answering so what?

to a potential employer or a business colleague, just ask yourself 3 simple questions

For what? why are you making this pitch?

So what? why is this important to your audience or the person your speaking to?

now what? what do you want to have happen as a result of this conversation?

according to Mark Magnacca(the author) says these three simple questions given quickly, convincingly, and powerfully people will respond with i love it, i want it, and i’ll take it.

i found this book very interesting and helpful as a blogger. I make pitches to companys all the time. its very good to know what to do and not. It’ s been helpful and has shown some success in my pitches.

this book is available on amazon

The shadow effect dvd

Teachers square banner

The Shadow Effect is an emotionally-gripping, visually-compelling docudrama that reveals why suppressed emotions and unresolved internal conflicts leads to behavior that continually unseats politicians, destroys celebrity careers, destabilizes the economy and affects the lives of millions each year.

In this age of public humiliation and media meltdowns, the work of New York Times best selling author, Debbie Ford, continues to make headway as she exposes the opposing forces of both light and dark that compete for attention within every human being. In her film debut, The Shadow Effect, Ford presents the hidden power of “the Shadow” alongside some of today’s most provocative thinkers including Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Mark Victor Hansen, James Van Praagh and others.

In this life-altering journey, individuals who have transcended child abuse, racism, the Holocaust, war, and wounded upbringings, share their remarkable stories. Meet those who have learned to face their terror, heal their wounds, and embrace their higher, heroic selves to overcome the shadow effect

 It shows how our personal and collective shadows influence our lives. it wasn’t typically something i’d usually watch. I’m not very religious and not really sure how i feel about spiritual life.   but i can understand trying to reach my greatness and wanting to feel like I’m someone. So it was very interesting watching this and learning ways i could become a better person and achieve more.

Solemate review

Solemate by Lauren Mackler: Book Cover

I was able to review the new book Solemate: Master the Art of Aloneness & Transform Your Life, which offers a fresh point of view that reframes aloneness as a positive state, and to embrace it rather than avoid aloneness. the book offers a roadmap to help you achieve wholeness and well-being on your own.  Solemate is about becoming the person you were meant to be, treating yourself well, losing  your old beliefs and behaviors that limit your ability to realize your full potential.  instead of trying to find that perfect match, become your perfect match.

in the U.S. today there are 95.7 million single adults, nearly half of all adults in the U.S.

I found this book very loving and made me realize somethings that maybe need to change in my life. I’m not single, but at times feel alone. this book is a great source, with quizzes and exercises to help you along the way.

Wedding controversy update

So I have decided to attend the wedding with my hubby. (sometimes you need to give in to make your spouse happy). I’m still looking for alternatives for babysitting. If i have to wear jeans i will.

Ultimately I am leaving at 830 900 to put my children to put. I don’t think staying out all night is fair to my kids. so a couple hours won’y kill me, i guess. 

thanks to all who left suggestions
