Specs On The Net, a site I really appreciated not more than a month ago is having a number of rather serious difficulties, including:

• Bouncing email (thanks "Binky"!).
• Server errors on Log In.
• An expired SSL Certificate (I notified them of this on 12/30/2006).
• Extreme slowness.

Only 2 more weeks to enter!

C'mon!

UPDATE: "anonymous" let me have it for promoting this wrong -- I was actually pleased anyone read the entire post.

He/she was right though and I've removed the disclaimer:

One last caveat; I reserve the right to lengthen the contest if things are going gangbusters.

IT ENDS GROUNDHOG DAY!

We Americans aren't exactly known for our prowess with saving money, heck our entire economy is built upon us spending everything we have and more.

I'm curious what people have bought with money they'd earmarked for overly expensive eyeglasses.

Me? To give some perspective, I've purchased five pairs of eyeglasses for a grand total of $206 -- easily less than half of what I'd have spent on one pair had I not searched for a better way. That's more than a guy needs, but I'm still researching this thing.

I was able to stay closer to budget over the holidays.

Anyone bought anything neat? Given to charity? Added or started a savings account?
