Royal Postal Scale
I’ve used my Royal Postal Scale for several years. Mine is a small scale and it will weigh anything up to 3 pounds. It is compact and attractive.
The thing I really like about it is that when the postage goes up in price, I can go to the …
Marvel Heroes Inflatable bop bag
We bought a Marvel Heroes Bop Bag at the Dollar General for $3. This one is 36 inches tall. The ones I had when I was little were prefilled with sand and as far as I can recall lasted pretty near forever as I know I had it for …
Winchester SXZ ammo in .380 ACP
Before getting into a review of what the Winchester SXZ ammo is, it is important to discuss what it is not. There are people who will swear up and down that this ammo is the direct replacement for Winchester Black Talon ammunition. That is simply not the case.
Black Talons …
Meditating at Suan Mokkh in Thailand
Suan Mokkh is a Buddhist pilgrimage spot near Surat Thani, Thailand. I am not a Buddhist, but I heard that the 10 day retreat they had there was of great merit from other travelers I had met along the way. I ended up visiting this temple retreat three times …
Banzai slide ‘N Splash whale pool

Zig-Zag Rolling Papers
I used to buy a more famous brand of cigarette rolling papers but I always buy Zig-Zags now as they are far more reliable and they are cheaper too. I can usually pick these up from newsagents or convenience stores for as little as 18p for a pack …

Hauppauge Racing Forum
This review is for the Hauppauge Racing Forum. It’s a fancy off track betting (OTB) place located in Hauppauge, NY over on Motor Parkway near the Long Island Express way. I just have to say that this is one of the poorest run OTBs I’ve ever been to. The …
Upptacka backpack from IKEA store

Martha Stewart Crab Paper Punch
I am really into scrapbooking, but I never really gotten into any of Martha Stewart’s paper craft products because they always seem to be a little out of my price range, and I just figured that you were just paying for the name. I found a really good sale …
Kenair Air Duster
Air is all around us and is free, so why do I regularly spend $18 on a can of air? you might well think I’m crazy, but there’s method in my madness!

The Sing-a-ma-jig by Mattel, toy
I got the Singa-a-ma-jig at the Ellen show last year. It’s a ridiculous toy that is very entertaining at first, but gets annoying and useless as time goes on. It’s definitely fun to play with for a while, though, as you could have seen on the show when she …

The Joby Gorilla Pod is a fantastic little device. It is essentially a miniature tripod (about six inches tall) with legs made of many separate joints. I love it because the legs can curl around almost any object making almost any place available to take pictures from. For instance, …
Jetter Youth pen
I recently went to a stationery shop and asked the shopkeeper to give me a good ball pen under a very limited budget. He recommended a pen named “Jetter Youth” to me. I was very much attracted by the pen’s neat design and the graffiti drawn over it. After …
Envelope Sealer with Adhesive by Mead
Originally I purchased the Mead envelope sealer as a way of helping me send concealing envelopes better, and putting them in the mail quicker. I shortly found out that I wasted my money and I was better off licking the seal of my envelopes for free.
The envelope sealer comes …

The Tilley Breathable Nylon Hat
I would never have seen myself as ever wearing a Tilley Hat; in fact, this brand has been a bit of a joke between my husband and me, because we tend to think of these hats as hats for old people. In Western Canada, there are Tilley Endurables stores …
Missouri Meerschaum Original Corn Cob Pipe
The Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipe–seemingly the greatest sacrifice in quality, yet one of the greatest smokes you’ll ever experience. If you want to taste the tobacco unadulterated that you paid so much for, smoke it out of a corn cob first. Don’t sully your expensive briar …
Pilot G-Tech-C4 pen
I simply love this Pilot G-Tech-C4 pen — it is possibly my favorite pen after all these years. I am typically very fussy about the kind of pens/pencils I use — you could say I’m almost obsessive-compulsive about it. Yet this pen fulfills everything that I want, something that …
Pilot G-2 Pen

Crazy people of Oktoberfest
I was in Munich (Germany) to the Oktoberfest. What is it?…It’s the giant “beer festival” that the city of Munich celebrates every single year. Today, 2005, is the 172nd time, incredible! Every year the Oktoberfest increases its visitors, around 6 million people. Statistics report that these people consume more …
