I normally do not left items from other websites. I am on the net all the time and continually read mission statements, vision statements, letters to readers and the like.

Lucky Brand Jeans wrote a piece on their about us page that reminded me of another time. Okay I wil spare you the I was so innocent part, but I will say things were simple, people were more easy going and less on the go.

I have chosen to use their words instead of my own. I can’t tell you how Lucky Brand Jeans will feel to you, but I can tell you how they feel about you!

“Lucky Brand Jeans is about a moment in time, about America, youth and courage. The brand stands for a time when quality and pride came first. Lucky Brand Jeans has always marched to the tune of its own drummer, never lining up to do it like everybody else…

Lucky Brand Jeans is about the summer before you went off to college, the friends you grew up with, freedom from the past and no fear for what lies ahead. It’s laughing at something you’re really too old to still find funny. It’s the last moment of innocence as you travel into adulthood.”

It is almost Memorial Day! It is time for hot guys to have the coolest new looks! Lucky Brand Jeans has just what the doctor ordered.

If you like loose fit, straight leg, or boot cut Lucky has something for everyone. LBJ is not only offering jeans either. They have rockin accessories from Ipod speakers to sunglasses and everything in between.

One of the hottest summer time items is the new plais shorts! These Sunset Shorts show a little leg and a rock hard bottom. The will probably make you say I feel Lucky! If you prefere a less attention getting look the Turf Shorts are equally as handsome and come in a color called Chino, otherwise known as beige.

Everyone knows man’s best friend is a pooch! Lucky has pulled out all the stops to make sure your four-legged family member is not left out.

Remember when you were a kid and you had to get your dad a tie for father’s day? What is it about dads and ties? Why does every kid think their dad ABSOLUTELY NEEDS a tie? Well many don’t.

Technology has truly taken over. How many times have you or a loved one tried to open a bottle of wine and even with the best of intentions the cork has drowned in its own bottle. Consider the number of corks that were separated and then drowned. There have been several wine openers or corkscrews that left plenty to be desired and the person using it feeling the agony of being defeated by an inanimate object in front of thirst friends and family.

Built NY has come up with the most clever and handsome of all corkscrews. It boasts

• Includes ratcheting handle, foil hook, 2 screwbits storage container
• Ergonomic cast zinc handle
• Stainless steel foil hook nests in handle
• 2 interchangeable stainless steel screwbits for pulling any cork
• 1-78 inch wire screwbit for older, longer corks

The corkscrew comes in attractive Fire Engine Red chrome or a Black Chrome. If you are a wine lover or you need the perfect gift for the wine lover in your life, you need The Ratchet Magnum.

Here are the top Five reasons not to buy the corkscrew:

You haven’t found the cork on the box yet
You don’t think there is a cork under the twist off cap
Jug wine has an easy grip cork already in the bottle
Wine Coolers require a can opener
Your favorite wine is “Do your parents really have to come over again?”

With Mother’s Day behind us some of us went to sleep feeling appreciated and understood and some of us went to sleep wondering what attracted us to the caveman we married and produced children with in the first place. Women generally shop based on what they would like to receive and tend to be thoughtful and personal in choosing gifts.

Although men can be romantic and thoughtful there is a good chance that at some point in your married life you will receive an appliance as a gift. When you receive the said appliance and give your husband “the look” he will immediately tell you he meant nothing by it and thought he was buying you something you would like.

With Father’s Day right around the corner, if you did not receive jewelry, an expensive luxury item, a gift you requested, or at least personal bath items, and a lovely meal then we may have just the training tool you need. Men often mean well but after wandering through the mall for hours clueless, they often give up and opt for the gift certificate, flowers, or appliance. Cheer up girls it doesn’t happen out of apathy but necessity. Here is the ticket to make it stop.

Men seem to love gadgets and tools that enhance their ability to show off their masculinity. They tend to shy away from gadgets and gizmos that “do the work for them” or somehow seem less manly. Here is a gift that serves a purpose and renders the screaming for your husband obsolete. The Mouse Mover Ultrasonic Rodent Deterent.

The highpitched sounds are heard only by rodents and therefore they stay as far aways as possible. The rodent deterrent also offers:

Once you explain to your man how you bought him the

Another era has ended! This year Yankee Stadium will be a thing of the past. Of course, the Yankees themselves will still be in tact but the stadium is going the way of all things. The House that Ruth built will be no more. The saying goes that you can’t take it with you, but the demolition team at the Stadium are among the luckiest guys ever. I am certain some of them grew up there, going to games with their dads and granddads. The season ticket holders that looked forward to seeing their favorite peanut seller yelling down the aisles, the smell of hot dogs and beer, and the roar of the crowd will all be moving elsewhere.

Yankees fans are a special breed, their memories will not easily extinguished or their loyalty shaken. As Father’s Day fast approaches in particular on the East coast isn’t it time to give Dad or any other Yankees fan a piece of history.

Amazon.com is offering a limited edition replica of Yankee Stadium. There are only 4750 mini replicas available and the n when they are gone, just like the real Yankee Stadium they will be unavailable.

These beautiful replicas offer:
