Neti Pot

pimg src=http://www.productdose.com/images/products/draft_5317.gif
alt= //ppHuman beings astound me. Ok, we all know as children that water up the nose is uncomfortable. The reason it’s uncomfortable is because you’re not supposed to be sending fluids up the nose. Makes perfect sense to me. Then this neti pot has me doing research on the supposed health benefits of nasal irrigation. Sounds disgusting, especially if you do it over the soup. The practice comes from India and is part of the ayurvedic regimen of health. It clears the sinuses of mucus and debris, leaving your nose nicely clean and moist. I think if a regular blow of the nose into a tissue isn’t going to do the trick this might be worth exploring. Someone who has tried this let us know how your schnozz is doing. |via a href=http://www.mysimon.com/9063-10954_8-9665575.htmlMySimon/a|br //p

Sun Jar

pimg src=http://www.productdose.com/images/products/draft_5313.gif
alt= //ppWhen I was a teenager and living in New Orleans, one night my friends and I snuck out of our homes and met up for a night trip into the bayou. It was otherworldly being out there with only the stars and moon to light our way. Then we noticed the fireflies. We caught a few and kept them in paper cups. One of my friends squashed a firefly between his fingers and rubbed the luminescent remains onto his forehead, giving him a sort of third eye. This solar-powered LED jar reminds me of that night. It absorbs energy during the day to power three LEDs at night.br //p

5kg Doorstop

alt= //ppWhen the a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Ana_windsSanta Anas/a are blowing, it seems this is the only thing (5kg is 11 pounds) that keeps my door from slamming. But nothing will stop the slam if there are religious proselytizers at the door. They get all the wood. |via a href=http://www.swiss-miss.com/2009/03/5kg-doorstop.htmlSwissMiss/a|br //p

Crock Pot

pimg src=http://www.productdose.com/images/products/draft_5308.gif
alt= //ppOne thing I’ve been wanting to do this year is to make more food at home instead of eating junk out for most of my meals. Problem is I can’t cook. At all. Then a friend suggested to me a crock pot. He said I can just dump random food items in the pot, turn it on, and leave for the day and when I return in the evening there will be delicious magic stew in the pot ready for me to eat. You can’t get any easier than that. So I’ve been shopping for one of these magic pots the last couple of weeks. I’ve only managed to look at them on the shelf at this point and determined that I don’t need the 12 quarts pot. The single quart pot isn’t worth the small serving size. So I still don’t have a pot. There’s something about buying a cooking item that causes me to freeze. I think maybe an online purchase is the way to go. |via a href=http://www.mysimon.com/9063-10998_8-9665573.htmlMy Simon/a|br //p

Book City Jackets

pimg src=http://www.productdose.com/images/products/draft_5310.gif
alt= //ppThis causes a nostalgia attack. In junior high I had to wrap all my textbooks in paper bags. I was horrible at it since I never really mastered present-wrapping. Duct tape would be flapping from the corners and I’d never measure the paper to correct size so little windows would be open at random spots. These lovely book jackets from a href=http://www.bookcityjackets.com/Jeremy Schwartz/a let people know exactly what you’re reading without giving anything away. That’s the perfect combination in life, transparency with great mystery. |via a href=http://www.swiss-miss.com/2009/03/13231.htmlSwissMiss/a|br / /p

Penguin Sparkling Water Maker

pimg src=http://www.productdose.com/images/products/draft_5306.jpg
alt= //ppI always suspected the quot;special sparkling waterquot; at restaurants was a rip-off, and now I know I was right. The Penguin Sparkling water maker lets you add carbonation to ordinary tap water, without using batteries or electricity. So don’t believe the waiter when he tries to talk you into that $7.00 bottle…the water from the tap may just be the same exact thing. nbsp;/p

PlatyPreserve

pimg src=http://www.productdose.com/images/products/draft_5302.gif
alt= //ppWine pretty much goes with any occasion. Even backwoods ones. The platypreserve allows you to evacuate the air, which oxidizes the wine, and preserves it for taking with you wherever you may roam. Great for capping a strenuous hike without having to lug the bottle with you. Even though the bottle could come in handy as a self-defense weapon against mountain lions. Nothing like a good smack on the snout to keep prowlers at bay. Works on the two-legged ones too. |via a href=http://www.bookofjoe.com/2009/03/platypreserve-oxygenfree-wine-preservation-in-the-back-country.htmlBook of Joe/a|br //p

Wheatgrass Planters

pimg src=http://www.productdose.com/images/products/draft_5305.gif
alt= //ppI’m absolutely sure wheatgrass shots are good for you. They probably will extend your life about 25 years. But that stuff is so nasty I’ll forgo the life-extension and stick to my diet soda. If you have to have it, though, then cultivate your own in these ceramic planters. They even each come with a packet of wheatgrass seeds./p

Farmyard Waffler

pimg src=http://www.productdose.com/images/products/draft_5300.gif
alt= //ppThe name of this product is what I used to call my friend from the country who complained about everything in the city yet could never leave. His excuse was that if the jobs weren’t in the city then he’d be in the country. I didn’t believe him. He seemed to enjoy the bars and girls and entertainments of the city plenty. All he ever had in the woods was sitting in a deer stand being rained upon while waiting for a defenseless animal to walk by. |via a href=http://www.uberreview.com/2009/03/farmyard-waffler-shapes-your-waffles-like-your-favorite-eating-animals.htmUberReview/a|br //p

Skull Candy SK Pro Headphones

pimg src=http://www.productdose.com/images/products/draft_5296.jpg
alt= //ppEven though I’m not a professional DJ, I like the quality and flexibility of DJ headphones like the Skull Candy SK Pros. The oversized speakers, power-drivers, and swiveling ear cups make for superior headphones whether you’re quot;pumping the jamsquot; to a crowd or by yourself.nbsp;/p
