1) Squibnocket to the rescue! Alyson says: “Sarah C., you are my hero. I have been looking for Squibnocket cards EVERYWHERE.” Have you? Find them here!

2) Here’s a potential plan for your finances. Erik says: “My plan is 20/30/50. Every dollar that comes my way is split: 20% into a savings account at ING Direct that is linked to my primary checking (because it takes two business days to transfer the money, I tend to keep my hands off) which I’m going to continue to do until I’ve reached a savings goal of 50% of what I NEED for six months; then 50% goes into my primary savings account which I draw on monthly for my must-haves like food, rent, cable and phone bills, gas, electric, etc. Finally, because I’m not a stoic, I get 30% of play money, my no-questions-asked, do whatever I want with money.” Eric has more at the link, so be sure to click — and tell us how are your finances?

3) Gun design? Not really killer. Some of you are unabashed gun decor lovers, but Ellie says: “I don’t shy away from overblown, still love robots and owls (not so much the vampires and zombies), but this particular incarnation is a pass for me. While the gun vases seemed to be another instance of the peaceful daisy in a barrel symbolism…what is the commentary here? Killing yourself with your caffeine? Guns are a fun shape? I’m missing something. (Update: found the inevitable pun on the page, ‘mug shot’ uhmm…hah?)” Is the gun overdone?
