I love e-cards! I love that I can send a cheerful little pick-me-up to someone without having to go to the store, buy a card, buy a stamp, and put it in the mail. It’s so much more convenient. I also love receiving e-cards, since they’re often a happy surprise for me in an email inbox full of deadlines. They don’t take a lot of effort, but they can make the afternoon a little brighter. And my favorite spot for e-cards is Rubber Chicken Cards.

Rubber Chicken Cards is a great source for sending the funny to your friends and family. They have cards peopled by strange, hilarious characters who have their own unique personalities and are quick to share them with you. The animation is whimsical, and the dialogue is often ludicrous, but one thing is certain: Rubber Chicken Cards are a laugh. There are cards for holidays, current events, special occasions, and even no occasion at all. The site offers a 10-day free trial, so you can start sending some cheer to the people on your list right now!

Aside from the e-cards, Rubber Chicken Cards has a great, free service you can use to really make someone’s day: the Compliments Club! The Compliments Club lets you send free positive messages to the people you care about. Tell them that they’re great, that they glow, or that they’re a genius. Remind them how much they mean to you, and how special they are! It’s quick, it’s free, and it could very well be the difference between a crummy day and a wonderful day for someone in your life.

Start sending compliments right now by filling out the form below. You’ll get an email with a link to the Compliments Club! And make sure to try out Rubber Chicken Cards for the other e-card occasions in your life. When you care enough to send a laugh, send a Rubber Chicken e-card!

Dear Yovia Community,

Just a note that we are conducting a community study. We want to see just how much traffic (and money) your great content produces on a daily basis. This will allow us to hire on more full and part time team members, and pay-out to the Yovia network a greater percentage of revenues.

Two things that will help the overall growth of your community:

1. The installation of the Alexa toolbar. Alexa tracks traffic and if all Yovia members have it installed it will help us all.

2. We’re testing the implementation of Google Adsense on select communities. If you see a Yovia fidget, or an ad, click to see what the advertiser is offering.

Ultimately Yovia succeeds when it provides real value to people who need or want the product or service a company is offering. That allows us to pay each of you the percentage of ad revenue your network produces.

This community and this company are based on the premise that real people are being empowered to extend their talent and their voice; We believe the power of one online community is powerful. There is strength in numbers on the Internet.

Interacting with community sponsors (Ads) and helping us to measure the true traffic (Alexa) as a community is one of the best things we can do.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have feedback that would help Yovia to grow.

Spread the word,
Jalali Hartman
CEO Yovia

I have lots of grocery lists. I have the sticky note in my pocket with a half-dozen things scribbled on it, I have the looseleaf scrap in my purse with a few more things on it, and I have a couple of things in my head that I will probably forget the second I set foot in the grocery store (seriously, what is it about walking into the grocery store that causes instant amnesia??).

So obviously, I’m a list maker (which is helpful when I can find all my lists), but hand-written lists are a recipe for disaster. Once, I stood in the store for about 20 minutes, staring at my list, trying to figure out what I had written. For the life of me, I could not read my own writing. When I got home and took inventory of the kitchen, I realized what I had not been able to read: MILK. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my handwriting was so bad that I couldn’t make out the word “milk” on my list. I had to go BACK to the store, costing time and gas, to get the milk plus the other things I had forgotten.

Lucky for me (and for you), grocery shopping doesn’t have to be such an ordeal. There’s a great gadget out now called SmartShopper Deluxe, and boy, is it smart. This thing helps you create, organize and print grocery lists, and it’s voice-activated! You just tell it what you need, and it adds that item to the list. It also categorizes your stuff, so when you go to the store, you don’t end up running back and forth between produce and frozen food eight or nine times for things that you scribbled down. It even keeps track of errands you need to run (like the bank and the dry cleaner) so you can get everything done at once when you go out. That saves gas, time and money.

The SmartShopper has been featured on TV shows like Rachael Ray, The View, The Bonnie Hunt Show, The Today Show and many others. This nifty gadget is great to have at home, and even better to give as a gift for someone else! Especially those people who are so tough to buy for… No matter what they do or what interests they have, they go grocery shopping like the rest of us, so they could use a SmartShopper!

So now that you know how great a SmartShopper is to have around, here’s an extra bonus: the company is offering FREE SHIPPING on the purchase of a SmartShopper Deluxe and Paper Pack Combo! Just fill out the form below to get information on how to take advantage of this great offer for yourself. I know I’ll be ordering a SmartShopper shortly… I’m tired of keeping up with my many lists, I’m tired of not reading my own handwriting, and I’m especially tired of forgetting stuff at the grocery store and being blamed by my entire family for not knowing what they want or need. It’s SmartShopper time for me!

When I was a kid, my dad had one of those sprinklers that screws into the end of the garden hose and swishes back and forth in long, leisurely arcs. He’d go outside, set the sprinkler in a dry part of the yard, use a brick to weigh it down, turn on the water, and then set a kitchen timer so that he would remember to go turn it off and move it to a new part of the yard later. Some days, it seemed like he’d spend all day going back and forth from the yard to the house, dragging the solitary sprinkler to different corners of the hot backyard and setting the timer over and over again.

Today, there are better options than the brick-weighted, single-spot sprinkler. If you’re in the north New Jersey area and sick of the move-it-yourself sprinkler, check out Greg Tanzer Sprinklers and Outdoor Design. They have experience installing irrigation systems for homes, businesses, and even cities. They also service sprinkler systems, so if something goes wrong with the system you’ve already got, then can come out and fix it for you. Whatever your irrigation needs, they’ve got you covered.

They don’t stop with sprinkler systems, though. Greg Tanzer Sprinklers and Outdoor Design can also put in and maintain water gardens and ponds for you. And to complete the outdoor look of your newly-irrigated and lush landscape, they have outdoor lighting options that make your home and yard look like something out of a magazine. You’d be amazed at how much difference the right outdoor lighting can make! It’s the best way to show off your well-kept yard.

But wait, you say. Winter is coming, and I’m more concerned with how I’ll be dealing with all the snow, you say. To that, I say first, I’m glad I don’t live in a place that gets snow. And second, Greg Tanzer Sprinklers and Outdoor Design has snow plowing services in the winter! They specialize in winter maintenance for parking areas, office buildings, private communities and shopping centers. So if you need some snow removed, they’re definitely the company to call.

Sign up below to receive news, updates and specials from Greg Tanzer Sprinklers and Outdoor Design. No matter the weather, they’ve got a service that meets your needs. And believe me, it’s WAY better than dragging a single sprinkler around your yard all day.

I have a friend who does a lot of work in his garage. He’s proud of his tools, proud of his equipment and proud that the area is neat and organized. One thing he can’t be proud of, though, is the floor. The bare concrete is stained and discolored, and it looks just plain bad. It’s not sealed or protected, and he’s taken to putting old towels and rugs down around the garage to cover up the uglier spots and prevent further staining. What he needs - what all garage and showroom owners need - is Epoxy Guard.

Epoxy Guard is a resin-based floor covering that turns a mess of a garage floor into a pristine, stylish, professional-looking floor in almost no time. It goes on like floor paint but creates a durable, beautiful, solid cover for any garage or showroom. It’s industrial-grade, odor free, tire-resistant and easy to clean!

For over 20 years, Epoxy Guard has been the main source for those who want the best-possible garage flooring; even major retailers like Costco, Sam’s Club and Home Depot have featured Epoxy Guard in their stores. And now, with Internet-only pricing on their do-it-yourself kits, there’s no reason NOT to put Epoxy Guard to use in your own garage!

The kit comes with everything you need to get your 2.5-car, 480 sq ft garage looking amazing. You get the Epoxy Guard (in one of several color choices), application tools, safety equipment, and everything else necessary for great results. An instructional DVD is even part of the package, so you won’t have to worry about not knowing what you’re doing. The Epoxy Guard kit has it all!

Fill out the form below to get more info on Epoxy Guard. I’m definitely going to make sure my friend sees this post… I suspect he’ll jump at the chance to put Epoxy Guard on his own garage floor!
