DealDash411: Good Morning Deal Dashers

So we all probably saw OKKAMS going for that laptop yesterday. I started watching and I was wondering who was going to use up all their bids against OKKAMS. None of us were shocked to see OKKAMS with the win - obviously the favorite here. (pronunciation of OKKAMS is "oak - ums." Not O-K kams or something like that).

Drummerboy popped up with some nice wins last night! Trip to Target and clean floors. Hey Drummerboy - you let me know how that mini-vac works out for you. I still haven't solved my vacuum cleaner issue. Mine still works....if you consider letting it sit for 5 minutes to get it to work for about 1 minute....I guess I'm thinking it will magically start working again because i really don't want to buy a vacuum cleaner. Don't ask me why i can get over this, but i clearly can't. I don't want to buy a new vacuum. And if you are thinking, "why are you so upset about buying a vacuum! At least  you have something to vacuum. There are kids in Africa who don't have anything to vacuum," then you are right. I am being ridiculous. One of these days I will come to terms and get a new vacuum. But i can't promise it will be soon.

we have a new family member joining us: bjbsuncle.  Don't you just love the proud family members? (pronunciation on this one is straightforward. Say each letter. B-J-Bees Uncle). Speaking of pronunciations, anyone seen that cat on BidWealth named relephant? Ok that's not how he spells it but all i see is Elephant with an R. Relephant. He had a rough day yesterday. Not that this is relephant to Deal Dash (ahahahah. Sorry, had to do it. I always take the bait).

DealDash 411 - So DealDash has a few new Auction Items...

Well, I hope you all will come back and still check in on DD411...We've turned over a new leaf in the month of August, and there are things to discuss!

First, Deal Dash finally put up some new items for auction...so if you are sick of eating at Applebee's and Cracker Barrel, or shopping at Target (who am i kidding, shopping at Target will never get old), you can now go for DJ Hero and a Hamilton Beach Carve n' Set Electric.

[ Tangent Alert!]: Why do people make adult products with "n' " abbreviation? To me, using the n' immediately brings me back to childhood toys and games, like Fisher Price "Lift n' Load." That n' is used appropriately. Which anyone had the Lift n' Load, knows exactly what i am talking about in the coolness factor...Lift n' Load was like the coolest ever, and they came up with a kid friendly fun name. Would I like it as much if it were called "Lift and Load?" maybe when i was 5, but i would hate it now if it had "and" because it is a kid's toy. It is a kid thing!! Like every other Fisher Price Toy: play n' go, stand n' play, jump n' ride, tow n' pull, rumble n' blast....the list is endless because kid's toys have to describe what you are supposed to do with the toy, and still in a fun way. I mean if you tried to sit while playing with the "stand n' play" you are in big trouble. You better read the directions if you want to have fun.

You know i am surprised some crazy parent hasn't sued over something as dumb as this...you know- they make all those laws  to protect kids with flame-retardant pajamas (by law). So now your kid sleeps every night in some chemically altered fabric which can't be so healthy for them either. I get it, in the case of a house fire. But the suing started over a kid touch a candle or something. But why do you have a candle ANYWHERE in reach of a small child? They should never catch on fire because you should be watching them and not having open flames around your house. No one get mad at me - i feel really bad for whomever this happened to but come on...now all our kids have to sleep in chemically sprayed fire- retardant pj's?? Is that healthy? sorry i went off again....back the point, or at least the point of the tangent - is some parent going to sue over this "carve n' set" knife, because we have trained kids to recognize the  "n'" as a word/letter in KIDS TOYS. You know it's for kids because you see the n'. Kids don't know stuff. Remember, kid's touch fire and light sockets. So i'm waiting for the lawsuit where the kid gets cut playing with the knife that seems like it should be a kid's toy because of the n' in it, as opposed to the fact that the parent left the darn thing in reach of a kid. Geez our society is ridiculous. Now run and tell your small child to stop sucking on their chemical-laden pjs.   [end tangent]

So if you need a carving knife, just remember if you act fast, you'll get not 1 but 17 carving knives for the price of 1! You can give out at Christmas! And if you get it right now, you'll also get  12 free meaningless cookbooks, a revolutionary spaghetti strainer and  5 sham-wows free.

Or let's take a moment to all envision the grannies on Deal Dash battling for the DJ Hero for little Susie and Johnny....or for granny - which would be so awesome if granny and gramps battled it out scratching. Love it!!

Wait not so fast: tangent addendum: For anyone who wasn't sure, Guns n' Roses is not a kid friendly band. They can get away with using the n' because they are cool. There is always an exception to the rule.

Ooh, and don't forget, today is 8th:  Sneak Some Zucchini onto Your Neighbor's Porch Day . Google it. I didn't make this up. And remember, if it is on the Internet, then it must be true. Deal Dash may have a bid special to celebrate. 

DealDash 411: Where on Earth Did I Go?

Thanks for the comments wondering about my whereabouts. It makes me feel special. Whew, what a week, i'll tell you that. Here is what happened:

So i was on my yacht, the Immaculata, and we were cruising up the Pacific Coast, and late one night i went out on deck, lost my balance and fell Overboard into the ocean. When they found me, i had amnesia and i had no idea what had happened.  This carpenter who had remodeled my closet (poorly, i  might add. Everyone knows a good closet is made from cedar!) recognized me and i went to live with him and his family and learned not to be a horrific snob. Then my memory came back and i went home a better person and realized life on my yacht wasn't as great as being with the sweaty carpenter. So i turned the yacht around and he came to find me and we both jumped into the ocean, swam to meet each other in this brilliant moment and i lived happily ever after. 

Do i even need to explain what i was just talking about? I hope not....

I just checked out DealDash and geez has it changed in just a little time! I recognize none of these Newbies, snow cone makers are going at high prices and hop-ons are everywhere. (Remember hop-ons? i'm not kidding - this is the new term).  I was feeling lost - where were the Beefers? RemysMom? Any name i recognized?  Then i saw lailamar  jump in on an auction and felt grounded once again. And then I saw manzanita and everything was once again ok in the DealDash world. Though I won't truly feel like I am home until a Beefer shows up....

I'm back on the DealDash watch, but you all have to tell me if anything ridiculous happened while i was gone...any newbie names that need pronunciation or analyzing, or anything else. I already have my list going....

Dealdash411 Tips, Hints, Strategies: I DON'T GET IT

This is what i don't understand. Why does anyone want a video camera that looks like Gucci or someone made it? Ladies, i don't know my brands. But is it cool to have a video camera that looks like a purse or something? Do you need a more feminine camcorder? I am asking in all seriousness. Is this a necessary update to camcorders? Or is it just a dumb idea?  Anyone going to go for the puffy camera and keep it? or just flip it for more bids? Does it keep showing up on the auction block because everyone flips it?
I guess it doesn't matter....i mean i don't also get why you need an Internet Weather Station, a giant stuffed dolphin or weird soda i've never heard of....
