So, I have this membership to a massage place (1 massage a month), and I was a few behind, because work at DealTaker has been insanely busy. Well, today I had a free hour, so I decided to go, and it was quite interesting.
First I get there, and one lady who just got done knew me, and I had no clue who she was, so it was an odd conversation(when I got home, my wife told me she called, so apparently it’s one of her friends).
Then I go in for the massage, and the lady masseuse asks me what hurts, so I explain how i’ve been riding my bike and my back hurts a bit. After she told me how great chiropractors are, she asked me if I wanted her to massage my glutes.. Well, being naive Neal, I asked if that was my butt, and when she confirmed, I declined the butt massage. (I guess I’m kindof a prude or something).
Well, then she gets rolling on the massage, and I fall asleep, and all is well. I wake up when I needed to flip, and then again when she’s done, and head on home.
Back home, I got in the shower, and it was difficult to get whatever lotion she used off.. My ivory soap had to work overtime, and it took 2 shampoos too. Then as I’m cleaning myself, I realized too much of me was lotioned too… I think when I was asleep, she massaged my butt!!! Was I violated? 
Well, needless to say, next time I go back, I’ll find a new person.

Okay, so most of our team came out to Plano this week, and for a week of meetings; it was pretty fun too. I gotta say, I’m the luckiest boss in the world to have such great people working here!
We were able to have fun, and get some work done too!. Dylan brought in his Rockband game and we had some late nights singing & playing, and fun meals… The CiCi’s pizza contest was interesting… Alan won that one.
The only problem with the get together is that it’s too short, and a few of the team couldn’t make it. It was great seeing the out of town folks, and I never feel like I get to spend enough time with each of them when they’re here. … yeah, i do have a sensitive side. 
So, what’s new on DealTaker.com? Well, if you haven’t checked out the Back To School Sales & Coupons! thread, now’s a great time. Also, be sure to check the most recent Deal of the Day Sales 
thread too!. And if you are a bit techy like me, the Tech Deals of the day threads are great!
Thats about it for me for now.

Wow, it’s almost Fathers day! I hope my boys remember. The rough part is one of them goes to scout camp on saturday so he won’t be here. But we’ll be going to pick him up in my new RV Friday, so that’ll be good.
If they haven’t thought of anything yet to get me, there’s always the DealTaker Fathers Day Deals thread. Or they can get me a Good Sam Club membership, or something at Camping World… hint, hint, nudge, nudge.

This morning DraginFli reminded me that my blog’s gone unedited too long. Well, its been amazingly busy the past month. Black Friday came and went, and the deals keep coming and don’t ever stop.
In February, DealTaker will be 4 years old. We’ve got some great new stuff planned for 2008. Coming in January, we’ll have the Beta of our New Points system rolling out, where you can earn gift cards, promo items. If you’re interested in helping us join our Beta Program now!
Do you get the DealTaker 411, our monthly newsletter? If not, be sure to allow updates from the board administrator.
Well, I can’t think of anything else to write about now, but if there’s something you want me to say next time, just let me know.
Thanks,

We’re a little over a month away from Black Friday, and we’re already getting some ads showing up. I expect over the next few weeks, our Black Friday 2007 forum will be buzzing with even more activity.
So far, we have Harbor Freight, Ace Hardware ad Sears.. Everyone seems excited about getting the WalMart and Target ads, but we still haven’t seen those yet.
One thing we’re doing this year is giving away some Nintendo Wii’s. If you want a chance to win, just go here: http://www.dealtaker.com/wii, you can enter once a day until the drawing date.
Shortly after Black Friday comes Cyber Monday, and we’ll be sure to give you the latest & greatest deals for that too. It is one of the busiest online shopping days. Usually the sales are just the carryover from Black Friday, but some stores will likely have some new deals reserved for that day too.
We should have our Gift Registry ready by Nov. 1, so keep checking, or use the current version, and you won’t lose any data during the upgrade!
I’ll be back soon to update everyone with anything new. Take care!

So, recently I noticed that my electric meter on the side of the house wasn’t spinning after I got a $0 electric bill. I thought, “WOW, FREE ELECTRICITY”, then realized I better call the electric company about it. Well, after about a month, they finally came out to change the meter.
We use this 3rd party electric provider, and I wonder if I hadn’t called if they’d ever even notice? I’m not much of a risk taker, nor would I want to do something wrong, but I bet there are people out there who don’t call and get free electricity?
Well, enough of that rambling… So we’re starting to see some Black Friday shoppers stopping by DealTaker, and we’re excited about the updated forum. We’re also working on a new black friday news site, http://www.black-friday-2007.com/. It’s not too data-rich yet, but stay tuned for the news as it comes in.
Take care everyone!.. Talk again soon,
