I gotta ibotta ...

Ibotta allows you to earn cash each time you shop. Here's how: Before shopping, choose your offers by completing tasks in the Ibotta Product Gallery. Choose your earning level for each product offer by completing as many tasks as you like such as reading a fact, answering a trivia question, watching a video, etc. Once you complete at least one task per product offer, the product offer is automatically added to your shopping list on the Ibotta app so you can earn money for purchasing the item. Seriously, it is the easiest "rebate" program out there for groceries right now and every store from Pick N Save to Wal-Mart is participating!

Just Playing Around with My z10 Video

Image
I have been given a Blackberry Z10 device to play with by Verizon as part of the Verizon Savers Voices Program -- and I have been playing around with it.   When Verizon took us to Chicago last weekend, after our long day of training, we were treated to a VERY yummy dinner. I used the 8 mp features of the phone/camera, along with Story Maker to make this quick video...   {no drooling on the screen...it was incredibly yummy}     It was VERY easy to do and post to YouTube. The easy to follow prompts would even let Miss Sarah create a video ...maybe with Disney Characters... if we went to Disney this fall. {ahem}   Although I am now a Verizon Brand Ambassador, all thoughts and opinions about any of their devices or programs are strictly my own.

FYI - Wild Parsnip!

Image
I remember being about ten, at summer camp, and learning about "poison parsnip". One of the counselors peeled back a large bandage and showed us her NASTY blister. She told us that if we got the sap of the plant on our skin, we would get a blister/burn just like hers...and if it popped, that juice inside the blister would cause more blisters. The blisters could scar your skin... Great visual and we stayed away from it! From Wikipedia -- While the root of the parsnip is edible, handling the shoots and leaves of the plant requires caution as the sap is toxic. [ 32 ] Like many other members of the family Apiaceae, the parsnip contains furanocoumarin , a photosensitive chemical that causes a condition known as phytophotodermatitis . [ 32 ] The condition is a type of chemical burn rather than an allergic reaction , and is similar to the rash caused by poison ivy . Symptoms include redness, burning, and blisters. Afflicted areas can remain discolored for up to two years. [ 3...

It's Tuvie Tuesday!

Image
If you have a Pawn America by you - they have Tuvies Tuesdays -- where you could get two DVDs for $5! I have mentioned this before -- but we have found some GREAT RARE movies there and seriously, they have THOUSANDS of DVDs. The price is right - if you are in the market for something new to watch. For the price of a movie rental, you can OWN the DVD. :) They have a 7 day guarantee - so you can bring it back if they don't play, but we check them all before paying. Happy shopping!
