Dag, I haven’t updated this site in TOO long. I’ve been busy as heck at work, plus at home. Anyhoo, let’s get down to business.
Econo-Chem makes a very cheap (pennies a bottle), all-purpose, eco-friendly cleaning product. Part of their secret is that they sell you the cleaner in concentrated form, so it weighs less (lower transportation costs and less air pollution) and so you can dilute it to the strength you need. Let’s hear what Econo-Chem has to say about Econo-Clean, shall we?
Econo-Clean contains no phosphates, bleaching agents, acids or solvents. It works on a sodium-based lifting agent, which gets into the pores of a material, to lift and remove anything which is not permanently bonded.
To get the free sample, SIMPLY CLICK YOUR MOUSE BUTTON ROTCH HUR and answer some quick questions. Make sure you say that you’ll consider buying their product, and that you already have an empty spray bottle.
When you’re done, you’ll be the proud owner of some good ol’ Econo-Clean.

If you care about the environment, and you care about free mess, AND you care about coffee, then this bad boy is for you. All’s you have to do is follow these simple instructions to get a free sample of some organic coffee.
- Go to Isla Earth
- Sign up for the E-Digest on the left side o’ the screen
- Fill in the required parts of the form. Where it says I want the sample of free organic coffee, just put “Yes” or “Heck yeah” or something to that effect.
- Wait by the mailbox.
That’s it. Hopefully this free organic coffee sample comes through. I am wondering how different organic coffee will taste. Since it’s free, I got a feeling it’ll taste superb.

Around where I live, there’s lots of roadkill that can be seen each and every day, including deer, squirrels, opossums, and even the occasional caterpillar. My vision stays blurry while I drive because of the constant flow of tears caused by the pointless deaths of these noble animals.
Hopefully this free bumper sticker will remind other drivers to slow down and be on the lookout for animals crossing the road instead of, in a morbid ironic twist, distracting drivers and thereby causing them to run over even more hapless creatures.
Anyhoo, if you click the picture above, you will be well on your way to being a proud owner of a gen-u-ine bumper sticker. So godspeed to you, and help spread the message that people needs to be careful and not run over any animals (or small children).

Last Saturday, me n’ Tiff went on the Henside the Beltline: Tour d’Coop around Raleigh. All’s we had to do was turn in two cans of food, get a map of the 20 urban chicken coop locations, and we were off on a journey of knowledge and wonder.
The Tour d’Coop turned out to be really cool. When people think of raising chickens, you think of a farm out in hickville, but it turns out a lot of people in Raleigh raise chickens. Each house we went to was in a “normal” neighborhood. Most of the houses had really nice backyards, with little vegetable gardens, water cisterns, homemade chicken coops, and rain barrels.
There were probably around 10 visitors at each stop, and the yellow-t-shirt-clad owners were happy to dish out folksy nuggets o’ chicken-raising wisdom.
Fun Facts about Raising Your Own Chickens
I learned these here chicken facts during the amazing Tour D’Coop.
- Heat is more dangerous to chickens than cold (most can survive outside in winter)
- Make sure the chicken fence goes at least a foot into the ground to keep out burrowing predators
- Protect chickens from hawks, raccoons, dogs, cats (some dogs and cats can get along with them)
- At night, the hens get sort of “dumb” and slow, so make sure they’re safe
- Chicken poo is a good fertilizer
- Basically an egg a day per chicken!
- Easy to take care of, “like an aquarium”
- No rooster needed, so you won’t be waking neighbors up at the crack o’ dawn
- Orange yolk instead of yellow, because of more beta carotene
After all that learning, I think I’d like to raise me some chickens in my backyard one day. All the eggs I can eat (and give away), plus I get to watch chickens run around. It’s a win-win situation, I tell you! On that note, I will leave you with some pictures of the homemade chicken coops that I laid my eyes upon that fine day.

Here’s a really easy way to get a free CFL bulb.
- Go to rotch HERE
- Fill out the short form (use “EARNRWG” as the promo code)
- Immediately sprint to your mailbox and wait for several weeks
Have fun with that free light bulb. Not only will you be saving money by getting a free CFL, but you’ll also be saving money by using a more efficient light bulb. Remember, even though it saves a lot of energy, it’s not all good. If it breaks, I do not recommend sniffing the fumes that come out. Instead, follow these here guidelines on how to clean up a broken CFL bulb.

“Youch, my dry, scaly feet!” Have you said/thought this recently? Do you fancy that people make fun of your ashy, crackly, grotesquely dry feet? Dry your tears, for I am about to solve your problem…
Simply CLICK HERE to gechoself a completely free sample of organic foot cream from Gilden Tree! Here is what they have to say about their (apparently) wonderful cream:
Our Nourishing Foot Cream is an organic, aloe-based formula that’s intensely moisturizing and softening. It nurtures feet naturally and we think it’s the best foot cream made.
Well hot dang, if that didn’t convince you to try it, then nothing will. I’m looking forward to rubbing a whole bunch of free organic foot cream all over my feet, wahoo.
