Straight to voicemail

Cell_phone Hate talking on the phone? Rather leave a message? Slydial is a new program designed to help the socially self-conscious bypass having to talk to someone on the phone.

It does seem a bit complicated, however, as not only does the caller need your number, but the Slydial number as well. Here's how it works:

Dial 267-SLYDIAL from any touch tone phone.

At the voice prompt, enter the phone number you wish to dial.

You will immediately be connected to that person's voice mail -- no need to worry they're going to pick up.

I suppose this is a good way to avoid an ex boyfriend, ignore a telemarketer, or tell your husband to pick up bread.

But having to dial two numbers? Sounds like too much work for me.

FreeShipping.org is a great source for JCPenney free shipping codes

Plastic_shopping_bag Anyone who likes online shopping knows the pain of heading to the checkout with your great deals, only to be slammed by shipping fees.

I recently found a solution this problem in FreeShipping.org. They have free shipping coupons to over 800 stores.

FreeShipping.org offers free shipping to so many of my favorite stores inlcuding JCPenney and Kohl's. Simply browse the list, pick a store, copy the coupon code and add it to the designated coupon space on the checkout page.

They have 4 JCPenney free shipping coupon codes as well as another 4 JCPenney coupons for other discounts.

I hope you like free shipping as much as I do. Happy shopping!

Calling all moms!

Mom_t Mommy blogging has seriously taken off over the last few years. Do a Google search for them and you'll find yourself elbow deep in everything for diapers, to schooling to sex lives. Even if you're not a mom, you'll get hooked.

If you are a mom, a great place to check out is the Mom Blog Network, a place for Mommy bloggers to find other Mommy bloggers.

There's the blog tab, which takes you to a loooong listing of mom's around the world and a forum, where you can chat with ladies just like yourself.

Post a story, add your own blog, or just sit back and read.
