The green refrigerator machine

Ozonator has developed a really cool product called the Green Refrigerator Machine.  This machine is designed to help you save on throwing out those perishable groceries that tend to go bad quite fast.  It’s not going to make your perishables last forever – but it will extend the life of them longer.  I don’t know about you, but when I have to throw out those perishables because they’ve gone bad before we’ve had the chance to eat them – that’s simply a waste of my money!

Take a look at this study:

American families waste approximately 180 pounds of spoiled fruits, vegetables and leftovers a year!  According to a study by the University of Arizona, for a family of four, that adds up to over $1000 of wasted food a year due to spoilage. Combined, that is over 40% of the food produced and an annual cost of more than $100 billion lost in squandered dollars, enough perishable trash to fill a football stadium daily.

The concept of the product is simple.  Since ozone is what naturally cleans the air we breath and literally purifies our planet – it makes sense that ozone would increase the storage life of our foods by oxidizing some chemicals and neutralizing ammonia and ethylene.  And since our planet already produces ozone – it stands to reason that a product like the Green Refrigerator Machine would be safe for human use.

Right now there is a special on the Green Refrigerator Machine by Ozonator.  You can snag it for $39.99.  That’s a whole lot of bang for you buck if you are someone who ends up throwing out perishables often.

We live in a fabulous world today where we can choose a specialty healthcare facility for children over individual facilities.  These specialty facilities not only benefit the child(ren), but the entire family.  I am talking healthcare facilities like the Hospital for Special Surgery.  Facilities as such, have everything that is needed at your fingertips to care for your child’s special healthcare needs.

Ladies…have you ever given a thought as to the type of men that you date?  If you had to pick a cartoon character that best represents that type of man – who would it be?  Take the quiz sugardaddie.com has devised to see who they say your cartoon character man is.

Personally, I wouldn’t have ever thought to compare the type of men I date to a cartoon character, so for kicks I was a bit anxious to see what cartoon character would come up for me. Given the answers to the questions asked – I really didn’t feel the result I received as being Bugs Bunny when reading what he represents – was an accurate result.

For example – it is asked if “he oozes passion or has a hard time dealing with others.”  The answers to chose from were passionate, passive aggressive or sociopath.  If you have any idea what a passive aggressive personality trait displays or a sociopath – then I’m sure you understand where I come from.  There is a huge difference between those last two options than passionate.  And, in between passionate and the other two options there are many other traits that aren’t so dramatic.

Maybe I’m reading into the quiz too much.  I’d love to hear what your thoughts are.  Take the quiz and please come back to tell me!

At one time I was an avid camper but I didn’t utilize camping sites that offered electricity and water because they were more expensive and I didn’t quite consider that camping. I would take batteries for flashlights, the radio, and use a propane-powered lantern.  At the end of my camping trip, I would be able to take with me any unused batteries and propane, whereas if I paid for electricity – I would have left my money with the campground.  Should I ever see the day where I was to decide to take up camping again, I would do the same today, as I did back then, but with an added twist.  I would spend the money on getting myself a portable solar power device.

Even though the up front cost of a solar power device is more significant than purchasing batteries and propane, the investment would be well worth it.  There are so many ways to use portable solar power devices that the money would be very well spent, and in the long run, I would end up saving a lot of money.

yearbook shutterfly

Last spring Shutterfly introduced the yearbook to their line of products.  Have you had a chance to look at them?  They are really nice.  It’s now a new school year, which means a new yearbook.

With the technology we have today, capturing those special moments couldn’t be any easier.  I know that I have to have pictures of everything – you should just see the photos I have – but they aren’t organized by any means.  Do yourself a favor and get those moments organized now before the whole deal gets so overwhelming that you don’t know where to begin.  If your child isn’t that old – you could combine years into one book.
