cinnieboo says "Craigslist drives results!" about Craigslist

cinnieboo — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 23:54:22 GMT

My experience

I am the hiring manager for a store with lots of need for seasonal associates this time of the year. I had an ad placed with Monster.com for over $300 and then later placed an ad for free with Craigslist.com upon returning home from work that evening. The next day I had a very large number of applications for the jobs posted, and called the applicants to set up interviews. Just out of curiosity, I polled the applicants as to how they had heard about the job opening - not one person mentioned Monster.com. Their answer? --Craigslist! That sold me, and Craigslist is the only website I will use for recruiting from now on!

cinnieboo says "An attractive storage solution for CD's." about Atlantic Pod - CD Storage

The Pod from Atlantic is a great way to store CD's without clutter. Sixty CD's at your fingertips in an attractive 11x6 inch storage hub. The "pod" has 30 numbered pull out slots, each holding two CD's. It also comes with reusable index cards and category labels. The price is great too - we found ours at our local Wal-Mart for only $14.99.

cinnieboo says "Unlimited calling for only $19.99 -- per YEAR!!" about MagicJack VOIP Service

If you've thought about getting rid of your landline service because of high phone bills, magicJack may be for you. For $39.99, you will receive the magicJack unit, which is about the size of a pack of Tic Tac's. It comes in pink or blue, and includes a year of calls with purchase. Calls are only $19.99 per additional year, yes year.

Setup is a breeze: Simply plug the magicJack unit into any USB port in your computer and the software automatically loads. In seconds you will be assigned a phone number (you will soon be able to transfer your current number). Plug any standard landline phone into the magicJack's phone jack and you are ready to make calls. You can also forego the phone and use magicJack from your computer with your microphone or headset.

MagicJack comes with all of the features you have come to expect with landline service: Call waiting, 3-way calling, voicemail, caller ID, 911 service, call forwarding and even free calls to 411.

Call quality is generally exceptional, but there...

cinnieboo says "Act out your very own pirate adventures." about Mattel Matchbox Buried Treasure Playset

cinnieboo — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 13:25:04 GMT

The Matchbox Buried Treasure Playset includes a wrecked pirate ship, buried treasure, a drive-through skull with light-up eyes, and a special waterfall where Matchbox cars plunge toward adventure. For added fun, there's an ultra-cool dynamite plunger that allows kids to "blow up" the rocks and dirt that surround the hidden treasure. A sound chip with cool pirate themed phrases like "Hands off me gold" and "There is no escape" bring the playset to life for kids. The playset is a steal at $19.99 and is recommended for children ages 3 and up. It is the perfect playset to accompany any Matchbox or Hot Wheels cars at 99 cents each. This playset has been a favorite in my house for over 2 years now....

cinnieboo says "A timeless toy with children of all ages." about Mattel Hot Wheels: Wild Things 5 Car Gift Pack

cinnieboo — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 13:04:18 GMT

I am a mom of two boys and their bedrooms are full of Hot Wheels cars and tracks. These 5 pack sets are great because they all have a theme. My 6 year old asked for a "green hot wheels car with a zombie on it" and wouldn't you know I found one in a 5 pack set of Hot Wheels?!? Not only are there hundreds of designs, the cars are affordable! Great for birthdays, good grades, and stocking stuffers. We've never gone wrong with Hot Wheels in this house....
