New way to buy Department 56 - and get cash back!

Recently Microsoft revealed their big search engine plans to try and win back market share from Google - they're going to reward shoppers for using their search engine.

I was skeptical at first, but then I tried it, searching for a Chicco crib for our baby, but I did the search - it would have cost $147 with a $12 cash back to my PayPal account - a net cost of $135...That was over $20 cheaper than Babies R Us. Free Shipping, to boot.

Searches only compile from Microsoft partners who agree to be in the Cashback program, but I've never seen a shortage of search results.

Of course, my next step was to perform a search for Department 56 items on Microsoft Live for Cash Back -- over 200+ results where you could get money back and free shipping.

For example, the "North Pole Around the World 24 hour flight center" would earn $8 cash back. Note: this one did have a shipping charge, so you'll have to make sure to double check.

But for Lorraine, president of the Tri-County Department 56 Collector’s Club, the displays are nothing out of the ordinary, considering many of the club members have similar displays in their own homes. “Everybody has different ways of displaying it,” Lorraine said of the Department 56 collectibles. “You find different things. When somebody comes up with a unique idea, you try and share it. It’s always nice to see somebody do something different.” ... click here to read the rest of the article

Rest in Peace, Stan

A dark cloud formed over Manhattan yesterday, and just as suddenly, a bright light shine through the clouds as the sky was ripped from the inside out by thousands of legendary heroes, assembling to pay homage to their Creator and his aged typewriter. As each keystroke landed with a thud, the letters screamed out as loudly as they could, "Excelsior!”, one last time. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/stan-lee-photos-marvel-comics_us_5be9e7d9e4b044bbb1a77969
