A couple of days ago I made a post about Rogaine Foam and last night I was at the grocery store Albertson's to buy shampoo and body wash and I saw their Rogaine. They charge a little bit more for the foam than Walmart does but then I noticed they also have the regular Rogaine that they came out with 20 years ago and next to that it's generic counterpart.
Regular Rogaine is $60 but the generic version is $30 about half that price. That was the sale price though. I guess it's normal price is $40. Oh this is for the 3 month supply so it's not for 1 month. But it's on sale right now for $30 or something so as soon as I get my check I'm buying a box to see if it even works at all.
The generic brands name is Equaline™. I've bought that generic name for a lot of things at Albertson's and yeah some of them are crappy. I will never buy Equaline™ razors again because they hurt. But then so does Gillette. I only buy good news razors. But there are other products like cough medicine that is just as good as the regular expensive brand because they have the same ingredients so it still works the same but you pay less.
Someone made a comment in my Rogaine Foam post saying I need to take some pill called Propecia and for the name brand it's $145 for the drug but I did see that the generic version is about the same price as the Rogaine Foam but I think for 1 month supply. It's still a bit expensive and I don't want to take a pill. I want to actually put a treatment on my scalp.
I know with the Rogaine Foam you have to put it on your head 2 times daily. I don't know about regular Rogaine. Whatever it is I will do it so I too can look like Rod Blagovich. I've always wanted helmet head.

Dane/Gayheart Sex Tape
Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart and another woman made a sex tape. BFD!
Ok, you know I love it when the stars make sex tapes. I watched the Anderson/Lee, Screech and Paris Hilton vid's. I'm trying to think of who else. I'm sure it will cum to me.
First of all, who makes a sex tape when they are in the public eye unless they are hoping it gets out? You don't do that if you don't want it to leak. The Paris Hilton tape got leaked because the guy she was having sex with in the video was a film maker so she walked right into that one. The Pam Anderson tape leaked because someone "stole" it. Screech made his video with the purpose of selling it so he could keep his house lol.
I saw 3 1/2 minutes of this tape and it's too grainy to see Eric Danes "McSteamy". You could clearly see Rebecca Gayheart and the other womans tits while they were in the bath tub talking about the other womans 7 year old brother. But the tape that I saw didn't have any sex in it. It was quite boring and since it was too grainy it was hardly worth watching to see "McSteamy".
They are suing whoever leaked the video for money but all I see is that they aren't famous enough like they were when they first got famous so they need to be in the spotlight again and this is the perfect way to get in the tabloids.
Good luck with that.
Unlimited Email and Texting for Life from Peek
Peek Pronto Mobile Messaging Device with One Year of Service Included (Grey) - Source Amazon.com
Remember the ZipIt Wireless that I talked about with Fred? That was only $50 with unlimited texting and IMing to any wireless device and you could IM with AOL/AIM, Yahoo and MSN for $10 a month.
This is a lot different and a lot more expensive at $230 for the device. Unlimited texting and email for free for 1 full year then after that it's only $15 per month.
I have to be honest here. This is a good device if all you care about is email and texting and nothing else. If you don't want to explore the internet with this then it's perfect for you. No worries. But if you want to actually go to websites then you are going to want a netbook instead.
Here are all the features of this device.
It's a pretty neat device. It's sort of like the Amazon Kindle but it's in color and there are no books, just emails and IM's.

Netbooks
I've been doing some research into the Netbook craze. I'm not sure that it's a craze but let's just go with that.
Ok so I've gone to several websites to do price checks.
AT&T sells netbooks for $299.99 and you get a $100 mail-in rebate. They have 2 plans for going online. 200MB for $40 a month and 5GB for $60 a month.
Verizon Wireless sells a HP Mini 1151NR Netbook for $299.99 and you get a $100 instant online rebate so you are only paying $199.99 for your netbook. They have 2 plans for going online. 250MB for $39.99 a month and 5GB for $59.99 a month.
I couldn't find any netbooks at the T-Mobile and Sprint websites.
But I think you get the idea with AT&T and Verizon. There is not much difference. Both charge $200 for the netbook (after respective rebates) and charge $40 for 200-250mb and $60 for 5GB which is obviously the better choice.
If you decide you want a netbook but not a plan you can always go to Amazon and buy a netbook without a plan and just go to wifi hotspots and get the internet for free. The only downside is that you are going to pay a lot more for the Netbook. I see their lowest price is $250 and their highest price is $450.
Personally I think you are better off getting one for $200 at a cell phone company than buying it standalone without a plan because there is no point searching for a Starbucks just to read your email and look at porn. I think they kick you out for that though. I'm pretty sure.

Preserving the sanctity of marriage
I just love that Khloe Kardashian and LA Laker Lamar Odom are preserving the sanctity of marriage by getting married after only dating for 3 weeks. Isn't it such a wonderful thing? I mean, just think about it, you know someone for 3 weeks and you just know, you just know that you have found your soul mate and you just have to get married.That was so much sarcasm I just couldn't go on. It just makes me so sick that it's ok for these stars to get married at the drop of a hat just because they can yet there are people out there who have been together for 10-40 years and they can't even get married. Chip and I have been together for 15 years and his cousin and her girlfriend have been together for something like 20 or 25 years, I can't remember but it's a long time. Yet they can never get married, well in California at least.
I'm always seeing how these stars get married and they are married for a day and get annulled or the stars who are only married for a few months and their whole relationship is toast. It's so easy for them to get married just because they can. It's like they are taking what they have for granted yet I can never experience it as long as I live in California.
The one star who has really impressed me and made me like him more than ever is Brad Pitt who said that he and Angelina Jolie will not get married until ALL of the people in the US can get married. Now that is a stand up person. I liked him throughout his career but I wasn't as huge a fan until he made that statement. Then I fell head over heels.
So congrats on your 3 week relationship Khloe and I hope that your 6 week - 6 month marriage is worth the 6 digits you are going to spend on your wedding.
Grow your own meat
Cocoon food grower wins Electrolux Design Contest - Source Dvice.com
Vegetarians rejoice. This is the future of growing your own meat instead of killing animals for food. Now vegetarians can start eating meat again because your conscious is now clear that your dinner didn't come to you at the cost of the life of an animal friend.
Here are a couple of quotes directly from that article on the Dvice website.
Of course you are asking yourself where do those cells come from? Well I'm sure in order to get those cells they have to take them from somewhere. But if the animal remains alive but with less cells which will regrow anyway then what harm is it to take the cells?

"He thinks that the Cocoon could make food shortages a thing of the past. "This will create 100 per cent pure meat without the need for animals to be killed and with no risk of contamination," said the 27-year-old. "It will change everything."
"The design, described as "controversial" by one of the judges, is made of glass, and works by cooking pre-mixed packets of muscle cells, oxygen and nutrients."
