When Hump Day Meets Retail Therapy, Links Happen!

Wednesday is "hump day" here at This Full House of happy little idioms and many missing socks.

Where DO all those slippery little buggers go?

No matter.  The week is half over and to jump start one of our most favorite of weekend festivities - after soccer, of course! - we're reaching into our grab bag of really cool shopping tips and informative links.

Just so you know:

Inside CRM posted 100 Places to Find Reviews for Every Product.

It is perhaps the largest list of sites offering real customer feedback, I've ever seen.  It'll take me days to get through it - damn the laundry - I was, however, very happy to find a few of my favorite sites already listed.

Although, someone should tell them about Ask Patty and all of her wonderful automotive advice for women...easily read by men, too!

Toy shopping is going to prove difficult, this year - more than 20 million toys have been recalled, so far - if you are feeling a bit scared and confused shopping for loved ones this holiday season, you are NOT alone!

This year, Consumer Union - the nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports - has launched the "Get the Lead Out This Holiday Season" campaign, requesting that we join in 12 days of safe shopping with their Not In My Cart initiative:

"It is time for Congress to take decisive action to protect all of us -- especially our children -- from contaminated food and hazardous products before they enter the marketplace."

Take the time to answer  their call to advocacy and send a message to OUR members of Congress to act now and help restore our confidence in the safety of the items in our carts!

I did and if we don't, then who will?
