Avoid Black Friday Blunders with Joe’s New Balance Outlet

Abbey O’Bryan
November 27th, 2015

If you’re watching what you spend this holiday season (and most of us are...or need to be!), start with an already discounted website like Joe’s New Balance Outlet and stack on the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals to get the lowest prices, save gas, and avoid getting trampled by the INSANE SHOPPERS willing to sacrifice their first born to grab the last hot ticket item off the shelf. I participated in the pre-dawn Black Friday dash exactly once. Once was enough to convince me that NO amount of savings was worth endangering my life to lock it in. Seriously, it was like the Hunger Games.

We love our Smartphones.  Well, “love” might be a bit dramatic, but cell phones have become extremely useful tools and a mainstay in our technology-driven lifestyle…
• They are portable and we can use them just about anywhere
• Smartphones facilitate immediate communication
• They provide instant access to worldwide news and events
• They are a comprehensive gadget that delivers entertainment in countless ways
…well, you get the point. All is not perfect, however. Cell phone use in the wrong place at the wrong time can be deadly. All you have to do is glance over to the car in the lane next to you.

Think Outside the (Holiday) Box

November 25th, 2015

The bells have started jingling for the “season of giving.”  And if you are a bit strapped for cash, but have a harried and hectic lifestyle, why not ruminate on the concept of part-time work? There is much to be applauded for seasonal employment opportunities.  You need not be a Santa with sticky kids scrambling onto your lap.  The opportunities are boundless for a temporary occupation and most do not include a white beard or pointed green shoes. Forget the standard dreary “big box” store job involving the herding of customers who become fierce in their efforts to possess the latest gadgets.

Marooned Without a Compass Day was November 6th. This relatively unknown and unofficial holiday awakens the imagination and warrants a discussion of the age-old controversial question…What are the crucial items you would you covet if you were stranded on a dessert island? Are you a practical person who would opt for the stereotypical resources when left on your own, such as: 1. Fire. Fire is an essential for boiling the impurities out of the water supply, necessary when cooking food, valuable keep warm at night, required to discourage attack by vicious animals, not to mention letting passing ships know have been forsaken. 2. Blankets.

Christmas Island is not Santa’s personal vacation island.  It’s a natural wonder, often dubbed the Galapagos of the Indian Ocean.  This pristine island is perfect for the enthusiastic eco-tourist yearning for a new adventure.  Christmas Island was christened for its discovery on Christmas Day in 1643.  Let’s pack those shoes and sojourn to Christmas Island.  Fames for its red crab migration, 40 to 50 million red crabs inhabit the island.  These diurnal creatures roam the island by day and retreat to burrows to preserve their body moisture.

In Flemish and Dutch speaking countries, St. Nicholas’ Day, Dec. 6th, is all about the shoes.  As Christmastide nears, children leave their shoes out for St. Nick to fill.  It is also customary for children to leave edibles for St. Nicholas’ horse, like hay,carrots and apples.  In exchange, Nicholas leaves candy and small gifts in the shoes.  If you have Belgian or Dutch ancestry, or just love trying out new holiday traditions, perhaps it would be fun to reinvigorate this tradition in your home.

We now present some of the most outlandish food creations introduced worldwide in drive-through and on premise restaurants.   • Stuffed Crusts
