  1. If they don't have any left at the store you buy a 1 hour guarantee gift card, making sure the amount on it is enough to purchase the item including tax.  Then you register the card online and they ship the item to you.  That is how it was last year at least, assuming it is the same.

  2. Last few years VM website has done a Cyber Monday with lots of phones 1/2 price that day. And FYI they are getting the Galaxy S2 on nov 15 for 379. My nephew switched which phone he wanted after hearing that. Gonna kill me to lose the grandfathered 25 buck plan for upgrading.
  3. I have a Henckels Twin Pro S set and have been really pleased with them. With Henckels you want to look for the two guys on the block as opposed to one on the budget/cheaper/lower quality knives. I have also heard great things about Shun. Mundial is a little cheaper brand that I have also heard good things about. If you want a more affordable set Forschner Victorinox are very sharp and nice (from the folks who make swiss army blades I believe). They do have a cheaper feeling handle but the blades are nice. I have the steak knives of those because I couldn't talk myself into $300 to match my other knives. You can find all these on Amazon.
  4. I love that idea! I really want to try it. This is first year we are doing all cash-no credit. So I have to stick to a budget amount. We became debt free finally this year and there is no going back.

     

    question: what do you get for your adult married 20 yr old son and wife? He still asks for gaming stuff when he really needs to be looking at other things they need.

    I would look into pots/pans/spatula type stuff, a good knife set, vacuum, plush towels, rugs, kitchen aid mixer or decorative things like nice picture frames.

  5. I think the reason Kindle Fire owners are claiming that they will be virus free is because the apps all come from Amazon so they are screened. Apple is the same way although I think I have read of something being available for a short time before. I think that Android Marketplace is more open and easier to have an app approved for sale so more likely to have malicious apps. I know I have read somewhere that there have been quite a few on there until they figure it out and pull them. So I think a big part of it is where you get your apps and how much you trust the developers.
  6. If her neck likes heat I have some of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/Instant-Click-Heat-Helios-Reusable-Neck-Shoulder-Pad-/260722819749?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cb44a82a5#ht_1849wt_1141 We have the big neck and little one also. We

    keep them in the fridge so when you pull it out to use it is cold therapy and after a few minutes you 'click it' and it is a heat pad. After some time it gets hard and you simply put it in a pot of boiling water for a bit then reuse it.

  7. I apologize if I am asking a question that has already been answered. I am trying to figure out the difference between the IPad's and the Droid tablets. To me, they seem very similar but the prices are so far off I think I'm missing something. I'm looking to e-mail, surf the internet, play games, watch movies, etc...

    If there is a comparison, can you please give me the link so I can have my question answered.

     

    Thank you very much!

    I do agree that they are very similar. However, the android tablets that compare to ipads in quality are also pretty comparable in price imho. The cheap ones you see are just that, cheap. The touch screens are going to be of lesser quality, they will be running old versions of android, etc. Make sure you read reviews and compare models. I think that there are some very good android tablets out there, but there is a lot of garbage also.
