Odd News Article (Selling Snow on Ebay)

If I could stop laughing long enough I could ask, did you read the article in today's odd news about a Lady who was selling snow on EBAY. I knew they sold everything on there, but I never guessed someone would think to sell snow. You see, finding a product to start a business isn't as difficult as some may think. A product can be found anywhere, even your own front yard. LOL . I bet you're wondering how did she ship it. She avoided shipping, by having them pick it up. That's just to funny. In case you haven't had your quota of reading for today I've posted the article here. LOVELAND, Colo. - As if Colorado residents don't have enough snow to dig out from, one resident is offering more for a price on eBay. Starting bids were holding steady Friday at 99 cents for snow from "Blizzard I and Blizzard II" being offered by Mary Walker. She and husband, Jim, got the idea for selling snow after shoveling mounds from two storms a week apart that together dumped more than 4 feet along the Front Range.
"I figured eBay has ghosts and all sorts of weird stuff, so why not snow?" said Walker, who teaches business workshops on employee communications.
How much snow 99 cents or whatever the winning bid gets depends. Walker's auction notice suggests avoiding shipping and handling charges by stopping by their home and picking it up — in a dump truck.
Only 10 offerings of snow are available and the proceeds are earmarked for a used snowblower for Jim or a pair of shovels.
She says she doesn't really expect to find a buyer for their blizzard overstock.
"We just wanted to just give some folks a laugh," she said.

Definition of Kwanzaa

Here's some interesting detail about Kwanzaa an internet Friend sent me today.

DEFINITION OF KWANZAA Kwanzaa is a unique African American celebration with focus on the traditional African values of family, community responsibility, commerce, and self-improvement. Kwanzaa is neither political nor religious and despite some misconceptions, is not a substitute for Christmas. It is simply a time of reaffirming African-American people, their ancestors and culture. Kwanzaa, which means "first fruits of the harvest" in the African language Kiswahili, has gained tremendous acceptance. Since its founding in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, Kwanzaa has come to be observed by more than18 million people worldwide, as reported by the New York Times. When establishing Kwanzaa in 1966, Dr. Karenga included an additional "a" to the end of the spelling to reflect the difference between the African American celebration (kwanzaa) and the Motherland spelling (kwanza). Kwanzaa is based on the Nguzo Saba (seven guiding principles), one for each day of the observance, and is celebrated from December 26th to January 1st. Umoja (oo-MO-jah) Unity stresses the importance of togetherness for the family and the community, which is reflected in the African saying, "I am We," or "I am because We are."

Happy Holiday 2 U All

Hmmm It's Xmas Eve,

I've stuffed all my presents in bags and added some tissue, wrote my name on the attached cards and I'm done. Since I had some time left over I spent it working on this blog. Isn't that a strange think to be doing on Xmas Eve.
Well, I hope everybody out there stays safe and has a gr8 day. Merry Christmas!

I do My best thinking @ 3 a.m.

As you can see by my 2:am post, that I was up late working on my first posting.
Well I decided to go to bed about 3 a.m., but while I was sleeping I had a gr8 idea. (That's when I really do my best thinking). Since I already had some t-shirts and things on Cafepress.com, it would be a good idea to combine the two on this page. So I got up first thing this morning and came up with "I love turning pages " you can click on the Cafepress logo and check it out. Lot of gr8 gift ideas for the Book Lovers you might know. Books and Book bags make a gr8 gift anytime.
I had really hoped to be in the Holiday sprit by now, but no sign of it yet. I got to get off this computer today and go out there and deal with the crowds. Problem is I don't have a lot of money to spend. Next year I'm going to surf the net and look for a 99 cents store online and do my shopping early.
Well if I don't post again before xmas Here's wishing you all a HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
