Caution when filling out information online.

We are all concerned about our privacy and security right now... I know this sounds like an Ad but it's not, it's my rambling about my concern after seeing a site online that gives away our information and it's surprising how much they give away first, before they send you off to make you buy more information.

Anyway if you too are passionate about your privacy, please go read my main blog post... please be patient I do ramble, but I will lead you to the site and how to delete your info etc. I hope that this will help someone else out there... http://riahrambles.blogspot.com/2011/01/caution-your-privacy-security-is-at.html

Luv & hugs,

Samples Seen Around the Web Tonight

Walmart Samples (hard to see lately, seems they don't regularly list them in the Free Samples section anylonger: http://instoresnow.walmart.com/In-Stores-Now-Free-Samples-and-Coupons.aspx still worth a check now and then however)

Tonight I was fortunate enough to run across this sample from Nexxus: "Nexxus Pro Mend" http://instoresnow.walmart.com/enhancedrendercontent_ektid94328.aspx

ok this blogging fool, is stuck on the phone for the 2nd time in 2 hours with a talkative Mother, I will close for now, because I don't want to post this too late for you to catch the great freebie.
