Free Stuff: Trade Your Old CDs And DVDs For An Ipod

Would you like to trade in your old cd's for a New XBOX? IPOD? or Playstation?

Well, look no further.....

Ok, So I know not all folks will have the same reason for wanting to do this as I do but sense I have become a beliver I have been mulling over what to do with my old cds I no longer listen to. And, I'm sure there are many other folks out there who are staring at a couple hundred cd's that they have no clue what to do with... So I got this idea to trade cd's for new ones or other items. I had written to several folks and contacted some radio stations about doing a trade in thing but apparently it would take alot to get something like that set up. SO, I did what every other normal person would do and searched the web... and lo and behold what did I find? but an awesome answer to my question at "Bible Money Matters". I am reposting it below along with its original link. What A FIND!!! Check this out folks!

“Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing” Psalm 100

I love listening to music, playing music and singing. I just love music. So you’re probably not surprised to find out that I have an Ipod and that I listen to it pretty much on a daily basis.
What you might be surprised to know is that I didn’t have to pay a dime to get my Ipod! A year or so back we were in the midst of moving to a new house, and in the process we were getting rid of a ton of old things that we had stored away. One thing that I had decided on getting rid of was my old CD collection. I had a couple hundred CDs that were just sitting in a box in the closet. I looked into selling the CDs at a local used CD store, but they were only going to pay me pennies on the dollar for all of them.
Then I found feedyourplayer.com. What feedyourplayer.com will do is take your old CDs in trade for a new Ipod (they have all the new ones including the nano and the iphone). They’ll even take your CDs in trade for a new XBOX 360, Playstation 3, or a Wii if they have them in stock. If you don’t have enough CDs or DVDs to do the trade, you can pay the difference in cash.
So here’s how it worked. I downloaded an excel spreadsheet from their website that I had to fill out detailing all of the SKU numbers and titles of the CDs I wanted to send in. I also had some DVDs that I didn’t want anymore, and they take those as well.
After filling in the spreadsheet, I emailed it in and they notified me within a couple of days which CDs and DVDs they wanted me to send in. I then boxed up the items and sent them in to feedyourplayer.com. This is the only part that actually cost me anything, and it DID cost me about $20 to send in the heavy box.
A couple of weeks later after my CDs and DVDs were processed I got my brand new 30gb Ipod Video in the mail.
So here is how the trades work out at the time of my writing this:
1 GB Shuffle – 40 CDs or 30 DVDs
4GB Nano – 75 CDs or 50 DVDs
8GB Nano – 100 CDs or 75 DVDs
8GB Touch – 150 CDs or 100 DVDs
16GB Touch – 200 CDs or 135 DVDs
80GB Classic – 125 CDs or 85 DVDs
160GB Classic – 175 CDs or 120 DVDs
XBOX 360 – 175 CDs or 120 DVDs
Playstation 3 – 250 CDs or 170 DVDs
Check out their trade calculator here to see how many CDs or DVDs you need to submit to get your item, or how much cash you’ll need to pay if you don’t have enough.
Did you complete a trade with feedyourplayer.com after reading my review here? Please email me through the contact form with your full name that you used when you did the trade. I can then email feedyourplayer.com so that I can get credit for your trade, and replace my Ipod that I got from feedyourplayer.com after it was stolen recently. Thanks for helping me out!

Crisp Cold Weather's a Comin'

Can you smell it in the air? You say, smell what? Why Fall of course!!! Oh, my favorite time of year!!! The pumpkins in our yard are turning yellow which is another sure sign, crisper weather is approaching. Time to break out the hot chocolate, blankets, perhaps a good movie or book and flip on the gas logs! Cozy Comforts... nothing better.

And, this is a busy season for us as we service and install gas logs. We take great pride in making sure your systems are running properly... wouldn't want you to miss that most important family or just plain ole me time. My wife is reading a set of Amish books currently by Wanda Brundstetter, I probably mispelled that, but she has been hinting at me to get a set of gas logs for our home as well. So folks, if you need some tuning up or installing just give us a ring and let us get you ready to enjoy the season to the fullest! God bless

Jokes- Word Search- Kid Fun

Here is some fun for the kiddos!!! (and those of us who are kids at heart...)



A kindergartner was practicing spelling with magnetic letters on the refrigerator: cat, dog, dad, and mom had been proudly displayed for all to see. One morning while getting ready for the day, he bounded into the room with his arms outstretched. In his hands were three magnetic letters: G-O-D. "Look what I spelled, Mom!" with a proud smile on his face. "That's wonderful!" his mom praised him. "Now go put them on the fridge so Dad can see when he gets home tonight. " The mom happily thought that her son's Catholic education was certainly having an impact. Just then, a little voice called from the kitchen: "Mom? How do you spell 'zilla'? " 1

With four daughters and one son always dashing to school activities and part-time jobs, our schedule was hectic. To add to this, we kept running out of household supplies. I instructed them all to let me know when they used the last of any item by writing it down on a note pad on the refrigerator. As a reminder, I wrote at the top: "IF WE ARE OUT OF IT, WRITE IT DOWN. "When I checked the pad a few days later, to my delight I found the following message:"MOM, YOU MAY BE A BIT OLD-FASHIONED, BUT YOU ARE NOT 'OUT OF IT. " 2

"Believe me," the salesman said to the lady, "this stove will pay for itself in no time."
"That's great," she replied. "When it does, send it to me." 3

Sally opened her refrigerator and was surprised to find a rabbit inside.
"What are you doing in my refrigerator,"she said.
"Isn't this a Westinghouse?" the rabbit asks.
"Yes it is," Sally replied.
"Well I'm westing" said the rabbit 4

Teacher: What's the formula for water?
Student: H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O

Green Company???

I had a caller ask me, "What exactly do you mean by Green Company? Is that Green for money?"

Now, of course he was being facetious and I had to giggile a little, but really folks, what does it mean?

It means just this we are a company who takes pride in our environment and the place where we live. We don't want to further exacerbate the problem at hand by not taking care of our world. We believe that when Adam and Eve were given the Earth to take care of that didn't mean just them. So here is our "Green Foot Pledge". We call it Green Foot Pledge because each step we take will be in furthering the ability to take better care of our environment and we can do that better with our company.

Our "Green Foot Pledge"
1. Metal part leftovers & Upon all installs: Old appliances will be taken to the metal recycling company and NOT the landfill.
2. We as a company and family will do all we can to reduce paper, cardboard, and plastic waste and recycle all said wastes.
3. We will route our calls in such a manner to reduce drive time- thereby reducing our carbon footprint made by our vans/truck.
4. We will do all we can to spread the knowledge that consumers need not purchase new equipment every time their appliance has trouble. A simple repair can many times fix the problem, be more cost effective and save the appliance from being trashed. Also, keeping appliances running smoothly and in peak performance promotes better water consumption and usage, electrical usage, and consumer appreciation and care for their appliance which in turn makes it perform for them longer.

So, there you have it. We ARE the only Green Appliance Repair and Install Company in the area and we want to work for you and our world. God bless
