Doggles!
Hee! I saw this on HGTV's "I Want That!" (I'm kind of an HGTV junkie, if only I could put all that good advice to use). They're goggles for dogs--doggles! For those times when the wind from those car rides is just too much. Plus it seems, they protect your pooch's eyes from harmful UVB's and flying debris. Good idea. And just too cute. Laughed like hell when they showed that segment. Adorable!

Freebies
Ahh, Wal*mart. Regardless of its popularity and so-called "roll-backs" I can't say that I'm a fan. The local store in my area is a not-so-clean place with unpleasant employees and I try not to go there if I can avoid it. Sometimes they're the last resort though. Like for the a/c I needed in a hurry two summers ago and again for the mini-me tv because the old one died unexpectedly. The latter bought at a larger slightly cleaner store. The cashier actually said hello and smiled. Imagine that.
For those need-it-now and need-it-cheap occasions, it has its place I guess.
But... free samples? Did you know that Wal*mart offered free samples?
The product pages say these samples are only available in stores, not online, which is a little confusing. Because if you click the sample link (choose a product you want a sample of from the main sample page, on the product page, the top right box will show a "Tell a Friend" option, among others--click "Free Sample") a pop-up window asks for your info and within a week or three, you actually get the sample.
Neat!
I think the sample items change monthly but it doesn't hurt to check sooner.
There may be a catch, but if so I haven't experienced it yet (I'm already subscribed to their newsletter so maybe that's it). I elected to fill out the survey if notified. Perhaps you only get the sample if you agree to answer questions about the product. If so, I guess that's only fair. Of course that may not matter at all. Maybe the point is to get return visitors to the website. Who knows?
Everyone likes a freebie, right? Go get yours!

Great view
Why see the world for real when you can see it from home? Google Sightseeing utilizes Google Maps in a brilliant way listing famous and not so famous landmarks and satellite views. All nice and easy to browse by category or by location. You can submit your own (but don't hold your breath) or just enjoy the many places already found.
It's a fun (and less expensive) way to see the world.
