Happy Halloween

Hey there. No trick or treating for us this year. Well, not the parents, at least. Kids are out with grandma while we pass out candy at home. We figured that it would be too cold to take out our little one, especially since his immune system is not up to par yet. There go some more trick or treaters. Later.

Catch it Again with Charter on Demand

Hey there friends. As much as many of us do not want to admit it, society as a whole watches a lot of TV. And why not? After a long, grinding day at work, many of us are compelled to kick off our shoes and take it easy. Since we're already sitting, why not catch the game, a movie, or a funny TV show? What? You missed it? Not a problem if you subscribe to Charter's digital cable service.

On demand has a negative connotation. We instantly associate on demand with having to pay. With Charter, that is not he case. Charter on demand has thousands of movies and shows at your fingertips. No more waiting in line at the local DVD rental spot or waiting for the mail person to deliver your next movie in queue. Just switch the channel to the On Demand channel and make your selection. It's really that easy. And since the selection of shows and movies is increasing daily, Charter has provided online access to view all available selections. For subscribers, you can learn more at charter.net/ondemand and log on to browse all available selections.

Also, make sure to get updates and fun extras on Charter’s Facebook page. You don't want to miss out when new movies and great shows are added. Especially something as hilarious as The Office. It's great to just be able to turn on the TV and catch your favorite show, despite the time and hour. With such busy schedules, it's though to work around the TV's schedule. It's great that Charter on demand has changed it for the better, by working around our schedule. Later!

Get Great Deals on Caskets and Urns at... Walmart?!?!?!

Hey there. I'm not kidding you folks. I'm sure many of you had no idea that you can buy a casket at Walmart.com As in, a casket to bury people in once they have passed on. I cannot believe that! Check out this spiffy casket for the low, low price of $1800!
Oh, and they don't discriminate. Check out the urns for those that chose to be cremated instead of buried.
I'm more shocked than anything else. I heard that Walmart was taking the business of many companies but never did I come to think that they would step into the business of the dead. Wow... Later.

Giving Back Some Website Love with E-Referrer

Hey there. I just added a new feature on this blog, A Top 10 Website Referrer list. I have tried my best to give back to those that comment and visit Metallman's Reverie. I added a top commentary list to rewards those that leave comments on this site. Now, with this new list, I'll be able to provide a link to those sites that bring in traffic.

I just added it today and I can filter out certain websites, if I chose to. I'm leaning towards just leaving blogs on there... that would eliminate Entrecard and Adgitize (and others) as referrals, but I'm not sure if that is fair. I'll let it run the way it is for a good week or two and then decide as to how I will tweak the widget. If you guys want to have your own, check it out E-Referrer. It's free to sign up and use and it's definitely a nice little perk to be able to provide a link to those sites that provide traffic to your blogs. Later!

Accor Hotels 3 Day Super Sale

Hey there friends. It's the season to start planning a holiday trip! While most people are limited in ideas as to where they can go, the Accor Hotels 3-Day Super Sale Asia Pacific offers the whole Asia Pacific as a choice for prime vacation spots. With over 1 million hotels available across 15 locations you are sure to find your ideal vacation spot. As of today, 10.28.09, here are the locations and the lowest price that you can get a hotel for.
That's not bad at all! A night in Laos for only $48 USD, a night in Fiji for only $51 USD, and a night in Japan for $112 USD is a pretty good deal as well! I've always wanted to go to Japan. I think that some of their culture and customs are intriguing. It would be great to visit the Land of the Rising Sun and save some money while doing it. But as the title suggests, it's only a 3 day sale so the above deals are only available if booked between Oct. 27th and Oct. 29th. All booked deals are for travel planned during December 09 to April 10, so you can book your stay now and travel at a later date.

I'm running out of time! I know that my wife wanted to travel next year so I need to let her know if these locations intrigue her. I'm pushing for Japan, but we all know that it's all about what my babe wants! Later!

A Boy and His Domo

Hey there. Lately, a creature by the name of Domo has been popping up in unlikely places. First, it was at Hot Topic. Then, it was at Target. Now, he's invading 7-11 stores across America. This little guy is taking over the states! For those of you not familiar, Domo is described as a creature that hatched from an egg and hates apples. lol Sounds like my kinda guy. The kids love him. My youngest daughter bugged me for a Domo doll for almost a week straight when we would go to the 7-11 each morning for coffee. I ended up getting her a clip on Domo that she proudly shows off to her friends.

Last night, I was at Target and my wife reminded me that I promised our baby a Domo. So I grabbed 2. lol One to clip on his diaper bag and the other for him to carry around with him. Almost as soon as I brought Domo home, my wife started laughing. She laughed at the fact that I said Domo would protect our little one while we slept. I propped him up on the rail of his bassinet and my wife nearly split her seams, she was laughing so hard. She said that it was funny to her how there is a little angel sleeping and then... there's Domo. lmao Check out the pic that I took.
Domo stands gallantly, warding off evil doers and bad dreams

This morning, I made sure that I put Domo in my baby's car seat so that he can play with him at grandma's house. I received a few picture messages from my wife displaying Domo and my son. lol Check put the one my wife sent.
"Oh no! Domo is gonna eat our baby!", the wife says. lmao

Oh man. It seemed like my wife was having more fun with Domo than our son. Then, she sends this.
"Domo is trying to eat him!", she says.

I say they were playing with each other. My wife claims it was proof of Domo trying to eat the baby. lol Oh man, it looks like my wife is having more fun with Domo right now. lol All is well, though. Before I went back to work, I glanced back and saw that Domo was right there, protecting our little one once again.
LMAO! Later!
