Gift For Fight Fans

We’re down to the wire on Christmas presents. The elves are probably hitching the reindeer up to Santa’s sleigh even as I write this. If you still haven’t purchased that big memorable, once-in-a-lifetime present for the guy in your life, now’s the time to take action and get Mayweather/Pacquiao tickets for what is being called [...]

Holiday Gift Of Time

Posted by Joan Reeves on Dec 3, 2009 in Celebrations, Consumer Smarts, Manly Pursuits, My Literary License, Pop Culture

If you ask most men what they want for Christmas, they’ll give one of three answers: I don’t know, nothing, or don’t go to any trouble. Doesn’t that make you crazy? Fortunately, here’s a gift that all men will like: the casio pathfinder wristwatch. Why? Because it fits the image just about all men have [...]

Checking Out The Imports

Posted by Joan Reeves on Nov 25, 2009 in Cars and Trucks, Consumer Smarts, Manly Pursuits, My Literary License, Pop Culture

One of the things I like best about TheCarConnection.com is that they give you reviews that you can understand even if you have zero knowledge about things automotive. For instance, say you’re interested in a Subaru Forester. With a click of the mouse, you can find out what their auto reviewers have to say about [...]

Tee Time At Myrtle Beach

Today is one of those perfect days when, if you’re a golfer, you wish you were on a golf course. Unfortunately, I’ve work to do so the only thing I can do is dream of golfing. Better yet, I can plan a golf outing, maybe one of the Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations I read about [...]

I’ve spent a good part of the weekend watching the British Open, or The Open, as they call it over there. In the end, like a good novel or movie, there was a surprise ending. Stewart Cink challenged Tom Watson. Cink won in a playoff less than an hour ago.

More Tools? More Power!

Posted by Joan Reeves on Jul 12, 2009 in Consumer Smarts, Manly Pursuits, My Literary License

Remember Tim Allen’s sitcom Home Improvement? His comical man bark, woof woof, is heard in our household when my husband starts talking about buying new power tools. Just like Tim the Toolman, my husband is always interested in something with more power.
To be fair, since we own rental property, we’ve learned that to make [...]

Poetry In Motion

Posted by Joan Reeves on Jun 26, 2009 in Consumer Smarts, Health, Manly Pursuits, My Literary License, Sports and Recreation

The great Arnold Palmer said: “What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.” When you drive that little white ball off the tee isn’t anything to inspire thoughts of poetry or art, maybe you need to work with a good instructor. Of course, most [...]

Extended Warranty Gives Peace of Mind

Posted by Joan Reeves on Jun 19, 2009 in Cars and Trucks, Consumer Smarts, Manly Pursuits, My Literary License

We live in a state that stretches from horizon to horizon so we drive a lot, piling on more miles on the odometer than drivers in other states. So we never buy a vehicle without also purchasing an Extended Auto Warranty. After all, we like our cars and trucks to last a good long time, [...]

Withstand Test of Time

Posted by Joan Reeves on Jun 3, 2009 in Consumer Smarts, Manly Pursuits, My Literary License

Many years ago, when I lived in Japan, I bought a gold Citizen watch that’s the old-fashioned wind up style since this was long before digital watches. I’ve had other watches since then, but this dainty ladies watch not only is still ticking but also still looks elegant and beautiful. That’s why I always recommend [...]

Men and Boys Like Toys

Posted by Joan Reeves on Jun 3, 2009 in Consumer Smarts, Manly Pursuits, My Literary License, Pop Culture

You’ve heard that old saying: the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys? When men and boys are both obsessed with the worldwide phenomenon known as World of Warcraft, that price can be reduced significantly with a wow game card from MMOAccounts.com.
This website, one of the very few that offer [...]
