Just for fun, I typed the words iPhone, shoes into Google, and Google spit out: A Chinese couple sold three newborns for iPhones and designer shoes. It seems the couple sold the babies over the years for a total of $13,000, and spent all of it on iPhones and designer shoes. Well. I mean … Continue reading Will Trade Baby for Iphone and Designer Shoes

Bears and Boomboxes! Are you read for two more odd random reviews? I’m so glad that Yvonne brought her teddy bear to the review party. And despite being well loved, he is still one handsome bear.

Prayer Wheel and Artist – Random Odd Review
Good art is a form of prayer. It's a way to say what is not sayable ~Frederich Busch Despite my efforts to try to match the reviews randomly they seem to connect all on their own.

Random Review 5: Cooking Pot and Nuwave
Do you like to cook? And by “cooking,” I mean deciding what to eat, buying it at the grocery store, preparing it, dining on it and cleaning up? Do you make menus and plan ahead?

Random Real Me Reviews
This year’s Random Odd reviews are all about the real you. Interestingly, we didn’t have any duplicate items submitted, but items did fall into categories, for example, gadgets, appliances, spiritual, and creative.

Wine Shoe Hack – Does it Work?
Wine Shoe Hack - Does it Work? My teen asked if we could have wine with our pork chops tonight—red, of course. I said yes, if he could open the wine bottle with his shoe. Why? A lesson in self-sufficiency: Let’s just say that my teen was stranded in the desert, dying of thirst, and … Continue reading Wine Shoe Hack – Does it Work?
Egg Cooker Exasperation
Egg Cooker: Cuisinart Egg Central No one needs an egg cooker. I know this, so I am not sure why I felt the need to buy one at Bed Bath Bring It Back (BBB) yesterday. I'm not even sure why I set foot in that store. It's always a mistake. Egg Central (the egg cooker) was … Continue reading Egg Cooker Exasperation
