Never pay retail again
No one likes paying retail and I'm always looking for ways to save. RetailMeNot has both a US and Canadian site. Its sole purpose in life is to provide money saving coupons for online sites you already use. You go to the site and search for the retailer you are about to conduct a transaction with: <img src="https://ekiledjian2.micro.blog/uploads/2025/3edcb228d8.jpg" alt=""> Most of the time, you will be presented with a series of discounts for each retailer, you select the promo that looks the most attractive and click on the Show Coupon Code.
Kids standing up for a bullied friend
Kids in Bridgewater show how wise they can be when they stand up for a friend that was being bullied. Inspirational and beautiful.
Disney princesses support Movember
Why is a great question to ask. It shows curiosity and generally makes you smarter. Why not, is a valid response though and sometimes the only valid response. In honor of Movember, I give you Disney Princesses with beards, because why not: <img src="https://ekiledjian2.micro.blog/uploads/2025/f803a19827.jpg" alt=""> <img src="https://ekiledjian2.micro.blog/uploads/2025/9721226299.jpg" alt=""> <img src="https://ekiledjian2.micro.blog/uploads/2025/c9803fef4c.jpg" alt=""> <img src="https://ekiledjian2.micro.blog/uploads/2025/21aebd5341.jpg" alt=""> <img src="https://ekiledjian2.micro.blog/uploads/2025/fefba8fa7e.jpg" alt=""> <img src="https://ekiledjian2.micro.blog/uploads/2025/3ac103aa7f.jpg" alt=""> <img src="https://ekiledjian2.micro.blog/uploads/2025/5499f07622.jpg" alt=""> <img src="https://ekiledjian2.micro.blog/uploads/2025/00669ca924.jpg" alt=""> <img src="https://ekiledjian2.micro.blog/uploads/2025/aa09928688.jpg" alt=""> via Buzzfeed

Most well read cities in Canada
[caption id="" align=“alignnone” width=“2500”] Flickr. Creative Commons image by YLev [/caption] This is an older bit of news but one I think is interesting and wanted to share it. In July 2013, Amazon released its list of Most well read cities in Canada. The list comes from Amazon compilling its sales data for all Canadian cities with more than 100,000 residents and the top 20 cities are: Vancouver, British Columbia Calgary, Alberta Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Edmonton, Alberta Regina, Saskatchewan London, Ontario Toronto, Ontario Ottawa, Ontario Winnipeg, Manitoba Kitchener, Ontario Burnaby, British Columbia Mississauga, Ontario Gatineau, Quebec Windsor, Ontario Richmond, British Columbia Markham, Ontario Surrey, British Columbia Halifax, Nova Scotia Hamilton, Ontario Brampton, Ontario I was surprised that my home city of Montreal isn't part of the list.
Now you can buy a bulletproof suit
Sure most of us don't need a bullet proof suit but it sure sound very James Bond-esque. Garrison Bespoke uses a special carbon nanotube material so that the suits are flexible and normal. The minute a bullet makes contact with the material, it hardens to protect the principal wearing this magical clothing. The material is 50% lighter than Kevlar (the traditional bullet proof material) and was tested to stop .22 and .40 caliber bullets. Before you run out to buy one, its important to remember that this wondrous tech costs about $US20,000 but I'm sure the intended customers can easily afford this additional layer of protection.
Break Clubs help people cope with their frustrations
Have you ever been so frustrated that you wanted to break something? Through plates on the floor, hit a screen with a bat or jump on a laptop? There are better ways to deal with your emotions but it you want the satisfaction of primal destruction then you are in in. There are now special clubs called "break clubs" where you can go and break stuff. These clubs are popping up around the world.
Unrealistic beauty
We have seen hundreds of posts about magazines using Photoshop to "unrealistically beautify" models but now a video shows the complete process (sped up). The process starts with makeup and hair styling then moves to digital editing.
