Financial & Travel Musings

One of the things that totally confuses me is the habit of broadcasting teleshopping on channels that don’t run 24/7.

Surely there can’t be that many people that would search out a shopping channel on the same channel number as, say, a kids channel? I can understand  people watching some of these shopping channels, but when they’re on a normal shopping channel slot. And yet, the habit seems to be extending to more and more channels.

OK, I guess it doesn’t cost much to broadcast one of these channels these days. It’s just that it seems totally pointless.

Getting boxes printed is pretty much as easy as any kind of printing these days.

Having said that, printed boxes aren’t something that you’re going to run up on your own printer so you definitely need to order these online. That simplifies life considerably though as there’s no need to search for particular types of cardboard that’ll fit into your printer and there’s obviously a far, far larger selection than you’d find in your local shop too.

Minimum orders aren’t all that large from some outfits so it’s worth thinking about even for that house move…

Obviously women need something of a top-up of vitamins and whatnot once a month but you’d think that, on the whole, there’d not be much difference in the vitamin requirements of males and females.

That’s true to a large degree but women’s vitamins still tend to be different largely down to that monthly cycle. Basically, it dumps a quite specific bunch of stuff that needs to be topped up. Most notably iron but there’s a lot of other things too. Moreover, some specific vitamins are required by women during pregnancy so not relevant to men. Things like folic acid (essential to reduce dramatically the change of neural tube defects) aren’t needed by men but don’t do any harm either.
