The thoughts that Jon the Canadian will dare to share

This empty box is a chance to appreciate potential. Lots of things could fit in this box. Why not take a permanent marker right now and fill in this box on your computer screen?

This make me think of heaven, #1

The words of the song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," always make me think of heaven:


Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?


Here's one rendition of it mixed with "It's a Wonderful World":

For those of us needing baby stuff.

diapers.comA number friends are have or are expecting babies this year - if that's you, you'll find this helpful - it will save you lots of money!

I was buying a peapod* because our pack-and-play broke when I came across diapers.com. It's a great place for diapers, but also for baby and kid supplies in general.

I just bought a box of pampers that works out to $0.13 per diaper! Thirteen cents!

  • The prices are the same as or less than Babies R Us, and shipping is free.
  • You can use manufacturer's coupons for diapers! (You mail them your diaper coupons, and they'll add them to your account)
  • There's lots of coupons here.
  • If you put in my referral code: JGRE1366 , you get $10 off your first order, and I get $1 off my next order :) Then you get a referral code you can give out to your friends.
  • If you go to this link to get there, through bing.com, you'll get 3-10% cashback, on top of the coupons and low prices!

Oh, and a peapod is basically a tent for a baby or little kid with a little inflating mattress inside. It folds up to be very small and light, not as bulky as a pack-n-play. I couldn't find it anywhere locally, so I've bought it online after reading a ton of reviews - all very positive. Here's what it is:
