Reach Out

'Tis the season to reach out and hug someone - or choke them.

Either way one of you is going to feel better. ;)

The Big Reveal

If you have followed the bathroom project (also known as the #$#@## Bathroom Project) from the very beginning, or read any of the three columns about it here, here, or here then you might be mildly curious about how it all turned out. I'd say "swimmingly" but frankly the idea of large pools of water makes me nervous. That's kind of how we started in the first place.

Dick's Sporting Goods Amazing 20% Off Absolutely Nothing Sale

Time for my annual "Why Dick's Sporting Goods is the Most Annoying Retailer on Earth" post. Every year - every week really, Dick's sporting goods pelts me with emails touting their amazing % off savings "storewide." In reality their coupons always read something like this.* "*See Promo for Details."

Clicking on that pesky little "Details" link will lead you to the list below. When you finish reading that, stop and figure for a moment what exactly a Dick's Sporting Goods 20% (in this case) coupon IS good on? Gum?

Seriously, if you have ever had success purchasing a desired major brand with a Dick's Sporting Good's coupon I'd love to hear from you. I know you are out there. Somewhere. Probably all alone.
