Don't Touch the Yellow Frogs

Image via WikipediaI'm not sure when or how it happened, but I have this thing for frogs.  You probably figured that out from my header, huh?  I even ordered froggy checks today!

It is totally amazing how many different frogs there are!  Check out these amazing frog photos and you'll see what I'm talking about.  But I don't care how great they look, I don't really want to touch any of them - especially not that golden poison frog!

A New Wireless Relationship?

I just went to the US Cellular website to send Cory a text and noticed that they are changing a bunch of things. Here's one I'm excited about - no more contracts after the first one.




Of course, we've been with US Cellular for years, so contract of no contract shouldn't really matter.  It does, though.  It means they will work to keep customers by providing the best coverage and customer service and not because they're tied to a contract.


Another thing - I can save 5% on my bill every month just by signing up for automatic payments with my checking account and paperless billing.  I'm definitely signing up for that!

Who Wants to Pig Out with Me?

Image via Wikipedia

A while back I mentioned that we were using Bing Cashback, and getting money back every time we did any online shopping.  It was great.  We got back over $100.  But then they went and discontinued the program.

I hadn't yet figured out what to do next when I saw a commercial for The Pig tonight, so I checked it out. It looks like the same idea - click through from the site whenever you do any online shopping and get cash back.  The percentage varies by store. Unlike bing, it looks like you can use coupon codes in addition to getting your cash back - meaning you can save even more.

Sign up is free and easy - just enter your email address and choose a password, and you're ready to go! Start filling that Piggy Bank and getting back some of the money you spend online. Also, if you use my referral link to sign up and make $25 in qualifying purchases in the first 30 days, we'll both get an additional $5 added to our Piggy Banks.  There's no limit to the number of friends you can refer and no limit to the amount of cash back you can earn.  

If you're going to be shopping online anyway, why not get some of that money back?

Sharing Some Music

I'm not a fan of visiting pages or blogs where the music starts automatically, but when I visited one this morning, I was interested in finding out how they added the music.



I may just play with this later and see if I can create and share playlists - without having them start automatically.  Or maybe I'll just create a page just for music I like.


What do you think?  Do you like music on a page?  Do you share your music, and what do you use?
