From the ebay June Newsleter:

"Red, White and Blue streamers, confetti and face pain"

Face pain?!?

I guess that what happens if you are not careful with your fireworks.
----
July 4th falls on a Wednesday this year… - Expect families and friends to celebrate closer home with house and block parties, picnics and BBQs. Meanwhile cities and towns could hold local fireworks, parades and other festivities the weekend before or after the actual holiday – or better yet: both. Things that make this year unique: the Troops and the approaching elections.


• Parade gear, firework watching prep, and other patriotic purchases
• American Flags, flagpoles and mounting accessories - and handheld parade flags
• Red, White and Blue streamers, confetti and face pain
• Uncle Sam-style costumes
• Support the Troops Ribbons
• Star-spangled table settings, sparklers

And of course…to capture it all: Scrap booking/crafts with flags and spangles etc. things to keep cool.

The pain I get from reading the newsletter is a bit further down.

Face Pain, lol, that describes my ebay experience on most days! thanks ebay.

OT... While cleaning up my favorites list today I just happened to notice a saved link that I know I did not put there. It had been added by some Window's update. Did you know that Microsoft IE has add-ons? I did not.

While browsing the sight www.windowsmarketplace.com, I found this:

Giggig Toolbar

The typos in the description alone would keep me from ever loading this thing. Copied verbatim from the MICROSOFT site!

"The giggig toolbar version 2 has arived and now we have a rss reeder. A zoom in and out, relode, uninstall, serch, popup blocker, highliter, a link to our site. And many more new fetchers look out for giggig toolbar 3 cooming soon."

Lordy. Those misspelled words! Could it be a Nigerian scammer who wormed his way onto that page?

Makes one wonder, doesn't it?

I doubled checked to make sure it was actually a Microsoft site. Could not believe Microsoft had approved that message.
