Facts of the Day
When
traveling overseas, don't forget to take along a copy of
your birth certificate. If you lose your passport, you'll
need it to obtain a new one.
Get
more travel and packing suggestions and a suitcase full
of other travel tips when you visit Travel
Kiosk. Then, stop by the U.S. Department of State Bureau
of Consular Affairs. They maintain an information-packed

surface. Place one hand on top to hold it down. Cut horizontally
about half-way through. Then stand the bagel up vertically
and finish the job.

wondered where

To
get the best deal on a new car, wait until the last week
of the month to go car shopping. Dealers are on a month-to-month
quota system and have to make space for incoming shipments.
Don't
even think about buying another car without looking at Edmond's
Automobile's Buying Guides, now on the web! Need to
finance your car? National
Auto Locator provides a handy loan calculator for three,
four and five year loans.

and they simply have no comeback in their scripts for consumers
who have "taken advantage" of their offers!
This
sounds silly, but it works! Go visit the How
to Get Rid of Junk Mail, Spam and Telemarketers page
and finish the job.
