Entry 2: Canon 6.2MP PowerShot SD630 Digital ELPH Camera

The ultra-thin, ultra-stylish PowerShot SD630 Digital ELPH offers a full range of enhanced shooting features that make taking pictures more comfortable and more exciting. The 6.2MP level provides plenty of resolution, while the super-sized 3.0 inch LCD screen makes taking, reviewing and sharing your shots a snap.

Key Features & Benefits:
# 6.2 megapixels

The standard amount of megapixels necessary to take crisp 8 1/2" x 11" prints

# 3.0" LCD display

Giant display to help you easily compose and capture those magical moments

# Zoom lens - 5.8 mm - 17.4 mm - f/2.8-4.9; 4x optical zoom

The optical zoom helps you magnify what the zoom lens sees to pick out your subject, like your kid across the soccer field

# Maximum shutter speed 1/1500 second; Minimum 15 seconds

Control whether you need crisp shots of fast-paced action or a saturated artistically blurred shot

# AVI digital movie format

Point and shoot or point and film; you can capture snippets of video using all the other attributes of the camera

And the best part is Walmart.com (my nemisis) has the camera so low they are afraid to advertise it - it's $234.54.

Well, this is really low-end, but I bought this doo-hickey for my husband last night at Radio Shack. It's a set of 2 credit-card sized locator thingies. Like, you clip one to your keys and one to your wallet and if you lose either of them, you can use the other to find it. It's 20 bucks for a pack of 2, and you can program as many as 6 of them to find any of the others. It probably seems corny, but RandomGuy has serious ADD and EVERY SINGLE DAY we spend at least 10 minutes looking for his keys or his wallet or his ID badge for work or his phone. Every day. So, I'm hoping this will actually make our lives a little simpler. OH! And the remote for the cable box, without which we simply cannot function. I gotta figure out how to attach one of those things to the remote and then we'll be good.

i have a 3" memory foam pad - the only downside is how fast the stretching wears out the elastic on sheets.

Entry 9: Bacardi Silver Serve Up The Holidays Instant Win game

I'm kinda reluctant to give this one up because I've already won 2 Holiday gift packs and everyone I know who has bothered to enter, has won in less than a week (you can play everyday till you win), but consider this one a gift for the forum.

Bacardi Silver

Just let me know how many tries it takes you to win!

[MannyIsGod]

What do you think of that funky smell?

I had one of these last year in my dorm. It was the only way my 80 inch body could be comfortable on my 76 inch twin bed.

It DOES have a weird smell, but the packaging said it would go away in a couple of days. I hope so, because damn that thing is comfortable.

You and Jess should talk and discuss coping methods. I do the same .
