What's on sale the rest of the week?
Folks, we've had some complaints about the Wild Card Sale. Some people consider it gambling and are offended when we offer them cards to draw. We certainly don't want hurt feelings so here's the deal: if you'd like to play, just let us know. Draw a card to see where your 30% discount is!
New Columns
My husband, Arthur, and I each write twice-a-month columns for The Times here in Gainesville. His deal with computing and technology issues. Mine deal with whatever strikes my fancy.

eBay Changes
The world's biggest auction site is making some major changes, and you're gonna love them. Whether you buy or sell on eBay, these changes, scheduled for April 19th, will save you money and time.

Money Oragami
Every now and then, when Arthur wants to give a little flourish to a monetary gift, he'll fold the bill in the shape of a bow tie. What a great idea. With graduation right around the corner, we'll all be handing out gifts, lots in the form of cash. Here's a way to make your present even more memorable.

Congratulations, Rachel! She's been chosen from among over 3000 applicants to take part in the Governor's Honors Program at Valdosta State University this summer. She will attend as a theatre major.
Kudos also to Raina Cundiff of Johnson High School. She's the daughter of long-time N2N shopper Mimi Cundiff and she's going to GHP, too!
Since 1968, The Georgia Governor's Honors Program has been one of the leading enrichment programs for intellectually gifted and artistically talented high school students in the country. The six week program was almost cut from the budget last year but was saved at the last minute, although it was reduced to a four week format for 2011. Here's a column I wrote about the whole issue in May of 2010.
Whatcha eatin' ?
Now that fresh fruit prices are becoming affordable, it's time to call the kids into the kitchen and put them to work making a fruit pizza.
It's fun to make and even more fun to eat.
Fresh Fruit Pizza
1 (18 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 medium firm bananas, sliced
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
1 pint fresh strawberries, halved
2 kiwifruit, peeled and sliced
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
1/3 cup orange marmalade
1 tablespoon water
On a greased 14-in. pizza pan, press cookie dough into a 12-in. circle. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack
In a small mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread over crust. Toss bananas with lemon juice. Arrange the pineapple, strawberries, bananas, kiwi and oranges over cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Combine marmalade and water; drizzle over fruit.
BTW
Be sure to look for the great N2N coupon (30% OFF) in the March edition of Gainesville's Little Coupon Book!

New message from Arthur:
Arthur says there are many forms of malware circulating the Internet. Some remain hidden in your computer, wreaking havoc with your system. Others appear as bogus utilities, warning you of non-existent problems. Often they will even give you a specific number of issues - something not possible if you hadn't run any scans with that utility. Others yet, are random pop-ups that you can't close. These all must be dealt with immediately. If they disappear on their own, they will return. They are not self-healing. If not eradicated, they will get worse, eventually blocking you from logging on to Windows, in many cases.
Call Arthur at 770-540-5100 or email him at arthur@glazerthepctech.com if you need to set up an appointment. He guarantees his work, has rapid response times and reasonable rates. You've read his columns in the Times, now let him go to work for you.
That's it for now. Remember-email goes both ways...
If you run across any exceptional bargains or impressive new products, let us know. We'll put the word out!
Have a remarkable week!
