Don't Buy These Used
From Kaboodle.com, here are 8 things they say are best bought new... don't be a cheapo when it comes to:
- Cribs (dropside cribs have been recalled and are no longer recommended)
- Televisions (no warranty...wait for a blowout sale and buy last year's model on sale)
- Mattresses (They're good for 10 years, so it's hard to know how old it really is used)
- Digital Cameras (Have you ever owned one you didn't drop? They dropped it)
- Laptops (You're way behind the pack if the laptop is even a couple years old...get the latest technology)
- Hats (Have fun with their sweat, skin conditions and leftovers)
- Makeup (Great way to get an eye infection, colds or even cold sores)
- Car seats (Most important purchase you'll make for your child. New models go as low as $75)

Pet Peeves
A dating website surveyed their members to find out what irks them most about the opposite sex. It turns out 73% of women and 66% of men have between two and five pet peeves when it comes to dating. Here's how it breaks down:
For Women:
1. BO. Women are more sensitive to odor, and find it a turn-off if they're with a smelly man.
2. Technology. It bugs 22% of women if their date can't keep his hands off his phone.
3. Timeliness. 13% of women don't like when he's late for the date.
For Men:
1. Social networking. 51% of men are turned off women their date updates her Twitter and Facebook account.
2. Smelly Shiela. 21% of men would like their lady to at least wear some deodorant or perfume.
3. A close tie between a late date and being peppered with too many questions.
Pretty similar, eh? Well here's where we're different. Sex: 53% of women find it a big turn-off to talk about topics around sex, but only 9% of men feel the same.
5 Myths of Wall Street Protesters
Writer David Weidner has been covering the Occupy Wall Street protesters over the last month for MarketWatch.com, and has concluded that they're a misunderstood group... here are his 5 myths (which you can find in more detail here)
Myth: The protesters are pushing for anarchy, support violence and communism He says most are job seekers. None he spoke with want handouts or an overthrow of democracy.
Myth: Most occupy Wall Street protesters don't know what they're protesting: Weidner believes that, yes, it is a melting pot of causes, but they are uniformly opposed to a system that favors what they call the 1%, or the super rich.
Myth: The protest is simply a liberal tea party: The protesters believe banking and corporate profits created this mess, while the Tea Party blames the Federal Government. Weidner calls this a "more sophisticated view."
Myth: Occupy Wall Stree is a paid group aimed at re-electing Obama: Almost every protester Weidner spoke with complained about Obama. Of course, that doesn't mean they're soft for the GOP.
Myth: The protesters are hypocritesThey say they hate the banks, but they bank. They buy from big corporations. They’ve been spotted at McDonalds. The protesters actually do buy products and services from corporate America, but Weidner wonders if that makes them hypocrites. "Consider that most of these protesters are NOT against banks...just the improper actions of the banks."
(contributing editor note: I was in NYC this weekend and witnessed the march to Times Square. I'm not saying Weidner is wrong, but here are the signs I saw: "Robin Hood was Right," "Capitalism Doesn't Work," and "Socialism Now!")

Joke of the Day
A middle-aged father came into the room with his laptop and asked his teenage son to sit down.
"Son," he said, "I think it's time to talk to you about pornography."
"What about it, Dad?" the son asked.
"How the hell can I get past the filters without your mother knowing?"
