Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

Yes, I look for online deals on everything from Cytomax to clothes (look above and "click to shop" on TE
).
If you think your job can't be offshored or moved, you're wrong, it can. It's always a great idea to shop and get to know the people, businesses in your local community.
It's fun and I find it saves me time and money.
We are an international forum after all. Everybody needs jobs. I'm going to buy products made from everywhere and anywhere. But when I can I search for and prefer to be a "local'varian" and I think it's never been more important.
