nifty green arrowNEWS:  I'm Alive 
 Talk Back (8 comments)»  |  Tuesday, 4/20/2010 around 11PM EST by John  |  permalink
  Hi guys. Just a quick note to say that I am indeed alive and doing fine. Sorry if I worried anyone. Life is good, spring weather is upon us, and I've been dabbling in the homebrew beer world on the weekends. In fact, I'll recommend NorthernBrewer.com for supplies. They have good prices and will ship any order for $8, including my recent giant 36lb box!

I hope everyone is doing well!

  Hi all. I appreciate the concern and the emails. I'm still on NNDD hiatus. I hope everyone is having a good fall season!

 Talk Back (22 comments)»  |  Wednesday, 9/16/2009 around 4PM EST by John  |  permalink
  Hi guys. The lack of recent updates is, well, my fault. I need to get back into the deal posting groove. But for now I wanted to give people a heads up that I'll be up in Canada for the next few days on a fishing trip. I will return Sunday after a very long bus ride! Have a good week and a great weekend.

nifty green arrowNEWS:  FDA Warns Against Using Zicam 
 Talk Back (4 comments)»  |  Friday, 6/19/2009 around 8AM EST by John  |  permalink
  This one is a little off the beaten path but it's worth spreading the word to me. Many years ago I read about the 1999 study in which a group of people used a trial of Zicam, a popular nasal spray cold remedy, and sued the company for permanent loss of their sense of smell. I've been telling people since that I would never use the stuff.

It's nice to see that ten years later, the FDA is finally looking into it.
  • "In 2006, Matrixx paid $12 million to settle 340 lawsuits from Zicam users who claimed that the product destroyed their sense of smell, a condition known as anosmia. Hundreds more such suits have since been filed."
  • "Matrixx has received more than 800 reports of Zicam users losing their sense of smell but did not provide those reports to the F.D.A., said Deborah M. Autor, director of compliance in the agency’s drug center."
The FDA asked that Zicam be voluntarily recalled and the company refused. I smell a fight brewing...something that hundreds of Zicam users can no longer do. For now, if you have some Zicam in your medicine cabinet it looks like the company will give you a refund if you call 1-877-942-2626. I hope some jail time is dished out on this one.

  Wow. CircuitCity is closing all stores and ceasing website operations on the 18th. Amazing and disappointing news.

  Merry Christmas from your favorite one-finger-slow-typing deal-finding pal! Thanks for putting up with my unplanned break so far. Once I get some stitches out next week (and I'm sure I can't tear the tiny interior stitch in the nerve) I plan on getting things rolling again to fill in any gaps in Santa's list!

Happy Holidays to you and yours. Enjoy the weekend and eat some extra cookies - you deserve it!

  Quick one-handed update. Bite, swelling, infection, antibiotics, numbness, nerve/tendon surgery. My wife printed out all of your comments for me so I could read them from the self-balancing hospital bed. Back to couch as per doctors orders! Thanks guys.

  Hey all, long story short is that I got an animal bite yesterday and my arm swelled up enough that my doctor wants me to stay overnight in the hopsital. Yeah, how fun. Anyway, I'll probably be back by Wednesday.

Fingers crossed that my room has a TV: Go Eagles!

  Looks like I am getting a little better at last-minute packing. Last year I posted a note that I would get four hours of sleep. This year it looks like five hours. Soon I will be out in balmy Mexico to celebrate my two year anniversary. Yeah, my wife is coming again this year. I will return with fresh deals on the 19th!

Fans of zombie survival co-op games should be sure to check out the weeklong Left 4 Dead demo that lasts until the 11/18 release date. I already pre-ordered my copy on Steam. Keep the infected undead at bay for me until I get back!

  It's year four for the annual fishing trip to Canada. Where in Canada? I can never remember. I just drive three hours to my hometown the get on the bus and take the 8hr ride.

Internet connections are pretty sparse in the town I'll be in, but I'll be back on Sunday. Watch some football for me - they were kind enough to schedule the Eagles game for Monday Night Football this year.BR>

  It's mid-August and time once again for my usual vacation at the lake. I'll be back sometime next weekend. I've heard rumors that we'll have a laptop or two with us this year so I'll try and update a few times this week if I can. See you then!

  It's a baseball adventure. My wife, brother-in-law, and I are heading to Baltimore to catch a game today then going out to Chicago to see a Mets/Cubs and Yankess/White Sox game. I'll be back Wednesday night. It's possible that I'll have a access to a laptop for deal updates - and equally possible that I'll be too tired at night to post.

Until then, play some TF2 for me. Oh, and since I haven't selected a winner yet, I'm extending the NNDD $25 Outback Gift Card Giveaway until 4/23 to give it a full month-long run.

nifty green arrowNEWS:  BestBuy to Mail $50 Gift Cards to HD-DVD Player Buyers 
 Talk Back (0 comments)»  |  Thursday, 3/20/2008 around 8AM EST by John  |  permalink
  You don't often see nice gestures from big companies, even if it does have a little PR behind it. Bestbuy will be mailing out $50 gift cards to HD-DVD buyers. That's proactively mailing out, not just offering and seeing who takes it. Nice. Applies to HD-DVD players and attachments, not movies - but that's understandable. Info nugget below.
  • "Best Buy said it will give a $50 gift card for each item, which will likely lead to the distribution of more than $10 million in U.S. gift cards. The retailer said it will identify customers through its Reward Zone program, performance service plans and through online purchases and will mail out the gift cards to those individuals by May 1. Customers that feel they won't be identified through these measures can call the company and provide a Best Buy receipt or credit card information for proof of purchase.

nifty green arrowNEWS:  Airborne Sham Offers Class Action Lawsuit Cash 
 Talk Back (1 comment)»  |  Wednesday, 3/5/2008 around 8PM EST by John  |  permalink
  Well, my suspicions were right. Airborne doesn't actually prevent colds - it's just a bunch of vitamins. Sure, that's not bad for you. But its claims of being a "miracle cold buster" are based on faulty, some might argue fraudulant, science.

Oh yeah, and there is a class action lawsuit signup website set up to help divy out the $23M settlement into a lot of tiny pieces. No receipts required.

  I know prices are always on the rise from inflation but these recent ingredient cost increases aren't cheap. 35% jump for cheese, 300% boost in flour, 1000% hop for hops! Ouch.

  In four hours I will be waking up to head to the airport for a week in sunny (rainy?) Mexico to celebrate my one year anniversary. Yeah, my wife is coming too. I will be back on the 24th!

Keep an eye on the United States while I'm gone. Keep enjoying the fun-filled Orange Box ($40 CC, low price), skim the Amazon Friday Sale later in the week, and NO PARTIES!*
