Safe Ecards-- Spyware and Malware Free

I have been worried about the safety of Ecards and have given up using them until now. I found a company that guarantees that their cards are spy ware free. Whenever something is free I get nervous. Either the product is lousy or is filled with malware ( trojans, viruses, spyware, rootkits, etc). So how can these Ecards be free? I began investigating how the company makes money.

They do it in a number of ways, which is smart.  All their eggs are not in one basket.  They have banner ads on their site which brings in revenue if you click on them.  And they have some different services which they hope you will subscribe to and use.  This makes sense.  Spread the revenue streams and make things attractive to the different user groups.

So that's it! No evil coding to worry about.

Check out the Wide Selection of Free Ecards from American Greetings .

American Greetings has the printed greeting card history and they teamed up with Blue Mountain which is one of the pioneers in online email greeting cards.  They have a reputation to uphold.  Not only are the ecards safe from any viruses, but they are also made so that they will get through the various spam filters that people have on their computers.

  Now you can use this combined company's Ecards and:

• Save Hundreds of dollars in cards
• Save in increasing postage fees
• Save the environment ( well OK... at least do your part... I doubt you use a forest load)
• Get cards to people on time...even at the last minute

That is a great alternative to all the post and paper problems....
Stay green, save money and time.

Be sure to check out the Blue Mountain side of this great partnership as well for different selections and themes.

There is the free trial option and there are some paid options also available.  It is a good idea to try out the free trial and see if you like the cards.  The reason I like the ecards from American Greetings/ Blue Mountain is the professional quality.  If you look at other sites you will see that things are very amateur and cheap looking.  And really, is that what you want to send to someone?  You might as well just jot off a quick email.

With Ecards, you are hoping to convey a mood and emotion that an email, or emoticon just can't give.  With the professional photos and messages available at this website, you achieve that.  Also you can have appropriate music included to give even more than a store bought card.  Ecards have gone from being a cheap novelty, to an expertly crafted experience.

Best Vitamins at the Best Prices with the Best Service

OK a bit of a confession here. I have been unfaithful.....to my vitamin supplier. But the good news is that just found out I've been buying from their sister company! Real soap opera stuff eh?

As you know, I have been recommending Puritan's Pride because of their great quality vitamins, as well as the unique specialty formulations that set them apart from all the other vitamin suppliers. They make a point of delivering the highest quality at the lowest price. And they also test all the vitamin and herbal ingredients to make sure that you get what is on the label. I love just browsing through their website and reading the ingredient labels ( but then I'm a bit of a research nut).

My favorite vitamin products are the unique Men's and Women's Multivitamins. These vitamin formulations leave all other brands in the dust. They contain vitamins, and essential herbs which have strong histories of helping each sex. The vitamin content is also balanced to maximum effectiveness. These vitamin formulations were thought through.

Here are a couple links to each product:

This women's formulation has everything a mature woman needs to help her lead a healthy Balanced life.

This men's formulation helps guys with all the problems the years throw at us. And yup, I'm talking "plumbing troubles" as well.

I'm Putting a Search Box here for Puritan's Pride because I want you to have fun exploring as well. Look for vitamins or minerals or herbs that you currently use and compare the prices! Also when you are on the site, look for some of their specialty formulations. One of my favorites is the "Focus Complex" which contains just about everything to help with brain function.

(Just type in the vitamin, herb, or minerals you currently use and hit the search button.)

OK now for the rest of the confession:
If Puritan's Pride is so great, why do I occasionally buy from someone else?
Well, I have a few specific medical concerns which means that I need specific products. Also Mary and my friends are quite athletic, and they need great athletic supplements at good prices. So I have found myself buying a fair bit of these things from Vitamin World.

Vitamin World has great quality vitamins, minerals and sports formulations at the best prices I have found.

I watch for the deals and stock up on the things I need. For example, they have a magnesium at high strength that is actually easy to swallow. Not an easy thing to find. They sell a Vitamin A cream for 1 tenth the price of any pharmacy or cosmetic company.

So, here I was, telling everyone how great Puritan's Pride was and then going off to Vitamin World for other things. Now I find out that they are sister companies and that they just have a different customer focus.

Puritan's Pride is more focused on giving the best nutrition to people in middle age and up. Vitamin World is focused more on the younger athletic market. They both have outstanding quality and prices. Mystery solved. No wonder I was attracted to both of them!

So if you have specific performance product needs I have no hesitation on recommending Vitamin World. Here is a link to their site:
