PURPLE SHAMROCK
The Purple Shamrock at Shoregate Shopping Center in Willowick is running a promotion throughout the NBA playoffs called, “Heat Lose, You Eat Like a King.” For patrons who are there at the opening tip of a Miami playoff game and stay until the end the restaurant will pick up the food tab if the Heat get beat. After they beat the Celtics I sure hope the Bulls will help give away some free meals. And I wonder if the team playing against them is up by a good amount in the fourth quarter does that mean people just jam in some more food orders before the game ends. I might have to make my way up there.

MORTGAGE RATES
The average rate on the 30-year loan fell to 4.63 percent from 4.71 last week. The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage slipped to 3.82 percent from 3.89 percent. Both are at their lowest points since December. If your mortgage rate is over 6%, I recommend looking into how much money you could save by refinancing. It could be tens of thousands of dollars! Worth the time and effort! Check current rates at http://www.bankrate.com. We refinanced last year because the rates were so good. Paying an additional month each year on the principal will decrease the length of your loan by years.

LEN BARKERS PERFECT GAME
Back 30 years ago Len Barker pitched a perfect game for the Cleveland Indians. True or False: I got a base hit off of Len Barker?
Answer: TRUE! I got a base hit off of him at a Suiteholder appreciation day game. It was a day where I got asked to participate in the day where we shagged fly balls a Jacobs field, fielded balls in the infield and played a game. I got to go because I ran Corporate Challenge for our company for many years – it’s a thankless task, so I appreciated that I got picked to go as thanks.
I played softball my whole life, so I took a ton of batting practice before the day. Baseball is much different than softball. Baseballs move so much faster and you have to get your timing down. I just didn’t want to embarass myself. I took batting practice at Jacobs field too that day and was happy to actually hit some balls out of the infield.
During the game I came to bat against Len Barker. To me hitting a baseball was still like trying to throw a ball through a Cheerio. I wanted to crack the ball. I took a pitch or two to get my timing down before I took a swing. I hit one that fell into the outfield. I was giddy and wanted to keep running until I got to home base, but I stayed at first after a heavy turn. I wanted to steal a base too, but there was someone on second.
The crazy thing that happened after that was that the DVD that was made of the day got stolen out of my car when someone broke into it! Thankfully the Indians and my work were able to get me another one. In the video they also show me flagging down a tough fly out – and they repeated like a you’d see in an MTV video. I’d tag it on this blog, but I think I need the expressed written consent of Major League baseball.

CAR RENTALS
If you need to rent a car for a trip your best bet is to first try some car rental aggregator sites like kayak.com or yahootravel.com. They will show you the best rates available. You can reserve a car without having to use a credit card. Just print the reservation.
From there check the car rental agency’s site to see if they have a better deal. Some may have a pre-paid option that is super cheap. Plus use any coupons from the Entertainment book (books are now $12 today – deal on my site). Sign up to the car rental site to possibly get coupons sent to you.
Make sure you list a time hours after you plan to drop it off just in case something happens. Car rental companies charge a ton if you’re late. Fill up on gas at stations further from the airport since many that are real close charge much more. Find the best deals for gas at http://www.gasbuddy.com before you leave to return the car.
AVIS
Avis has some deals. Rent 2 times for 2 consecutive days on each rental by Dec. 31, 2011 and within two weeks, of completing two (2) qualifying rentals, receive a Rental Reward Day certificate via e-mail to be used on a weekday, weekly, weekend or monthly rental.
Now is the time for great deals on one-way rentals from Florida. Drive out of any participating Florida airport location with money-saving rates, unlimited mileage and no drop-off fee!

EYEGLASSES
I saw something that made me very sad. Someone was wearing a pair of glasses, but these were glasses that were missing the one side that goes over your ear. The glasses tilted at an angle favoring the side that had the part that goes over the ear, called the template. Were they too poor to get a new pair? Or maybe her little brother sat on them and broke it that morning and she had to make do. Or was it a new trend. Why pay for that one side when just one will do! Either way I assumed the worst so it made me sad.
I wanted to fix it by using a pencil and rubber band to at least fill in temporarily until they can get a new pair. Better yet they may be aware there is a site where they sell eyeglasses for $39 at 39DollarEyeglasses.com! Aside from getting them from Marcs for cheap this is a site that has the ‘non-reading’ prescriptions for cheap.

MELT
This restaurant makes all things cheese sandwichs. Unique and yummy. They have locations in Lakewood and Cleveland Heights. They’ve been featured by Guy Fieri and Adam Richman (Man vs Food). You can get a discount eating there when you register with http://www.idine.com. You can also get a 25 percent discount for life by getting a tattoo of the restaurant – 80 people have already done so!
Now it makes me think… If someone gets a tattoo of me on their person is there something I can do for them? I could give a discount on my booklet, but there needs to be something more. Maybe I can tell knock knock jokes each month to them. Or maybe I can imitate some birds whistles they can use as a ring tone. I got good at it delivering papers when I was younger. There was always birds jibber-jabbering so I would imitate them. Soon after I would have some pretty long conversations with the birds on my route. We’d talk politics and about the neighborhood goings-ons. They’d invite me to their birthday parties and stuff.
Better yet, if someone gets a tattoo of me I will cut their hair when they want. I’m no good at it, but it’s a service I’m willing to do. So let me know if you get a tattoo of me. I’ll come over with my Flowbee if you do!
