Posted by Dean on November 30th, 2009 My business partner has always told me that we should constantly be looking for cheaper supply companies. He has changed our insurance company three times in the past two years because he found us a better rate. He has also found us a cheaper office supplies company that gets us everything we need for half the price of what we used to pay.
I will never forget about four years ago when he found a website that sold discount office supplies and he started to compare each item that we ordered from our old company and was looking at prices from each of them. He determined that we could save fifty percent by going with the online discount office supplies company and dropping our current supplier. It just so happened that our current supplier was a company that was located directly across the street from us. They had been selling office supply products for more than fifty years and were owned by some good friends of my parents.
I was the one to go over and let them know that it was not personal but we would not need their services anymore. I explained that the online company’s prices for office supplies were too low to not switch to them. They understood and went out of business about six months later.
Posted by Dean on November 24th, 2009 My daughter was looking at buying funny shirts for her entire bowling team to wear to a competition. She just thought that if they had on matching funny t shirts, it would be fun.
I pointed her to some of the websites where I had seen many different funny shirts before. I told her that some of the sites even let you design your own funny shirts. She was not sure that she would be able to come up with something witty enough. I told her to just think about something that someone says on the team that is funny, slap it on the shirt and presto, you have your funny t shirts.
She did exactly that and all of the bowling girls loved wearing their funny shirts to the competition. I think that a lot of the other teams said that they would love to design their own funny t shirts to wear next year at the competition. My daughter gave them the name of the website that she used, and they all wrote it down. They are all excited to see who comes up with the most unique funny t shirts next year.
I of course, think that my daughter will once again design something cool and creative like she did this year, and knock their socks off.
Posted by Dean on November 20th, 2009 My sister called me last week to ask me what size of t shirt she should get for my kids. It seems that she has found a really cool website that has lots of different styles of funny t shirts. She said that they have a huge variety and she found several that would fit each of my kids. I told her each of the kids sizes and then asked her to give me the address of the site so that I could check it out too.
I enjoyed sitting and looking over the site and all the funny shirts. I sent my sister an email and asked her to let me know which ones she had gotten for my kids, just in case I decided to get them each one myself. I think they would love having them, and she was right about the site having different designs to fit each kid.
After my sister placed her order for her funny t shirts, I then ordered funny shirts for the kids and myself for Christmas. I made sure to get different designs and colors than my sister so that they had very different styles. The funny t shirts that I got for myself had some funny phrases from some popular television shows on them. The funny shirts that were for the kids had some phrases about school, sports and siblings on them.
Posted by Dean on September 12th, 2009 I was shopping online a few months ago and decided to check out this website that all of my friends are talking about. They keep telling me that they have saved tons of money buy shopping at this site, and not at all the trendy department stores. I figured that all of the styles must be out of date to save that much money.
I found the website and they had actual in style Gucci handbags and they even carried Tod’s shoes. I was very shocked and sat there for about two hours just looking at their inventory. I even found two Gucci handbags that I already had that were priced a lot less on the site, than I had paid at the store.
I had never bought a pair of Tod’s shoes before, but had always admired the looks. I decided to go ahead and get a pair because I knew how much they cost in the stores and this site had them for quite a bit less and I did not have to deal with any rude sales people.
When the pair of Tod’s shoes arrived a few days later, I was thrilled with them. They actually looked great with one of the Gucci handbags that I already owned. My friends told me that they loved my shoes, and then they were shocked when I told them where I had gotten them from.
Posted by Dean on August 29th, 2009 If you are old enough to wear offensive t shirts then you are old enough to know that if people are staring at you and your t shirt then they may or may not like it. I remember the first time someone was staring at one of my funny t shirts and then made the comment that they liked it and they asked where I got it.
I also remember the first time that there was a group of people staring at one of my offensive t shirts and they told me that they did not like it. What was I supposed to do, change my t shirt for them? I have seen t shirts before that I do not like, and I am smart enough to realize that everyone is entitled to express themselves as long as they are not harming anyone else’s person.
I have since toned my funny t shirts down to making fun of sports teams instead of people. I also have a few that crack on the current president but it is all in fun and I do not mean anyone any harm. If anyone is bothered by my funny t shirts regarding sports teams, it is because I am knocking their team and I am sure that they would love to do it to my favorite teams.
