PMSBuddy.com - Saving relationships, one month at a time!
At first I thought this site was funny ... then I realized that it offered a real service ... then I sent a link to all of my friends ... you will too.
PMSBuddy.com is a free service created to keep men aware of when their wives, girlfriends, mothers, sisters, daughters, or any other women in their lives are closing in on "that time of the month."
To quote the site, "PMSBuddy.com is a free service to minimize negative encounters between those with PMS and those close to them by taking away the surprise and making conversations about PMS unnecessary. We hope you find PMSBuddy.com to be a lifesaver. We will not only keep you informed, but will give you some free advice on what to do about it."
The site enables women to give people in their lives a "heads-up of when they may be feeling a bit irritable without having an awkward conversation." To quote the site again, "With PMSBuddy.com, there is no reason to ever be blindsided by PMS again."

The "AIG effect" has hit many companies and "practical" has replaced "memorable" as the buzzword for incentive trips, sales meetings and other off-site corporate events.
Companies are canceling splashy affairs and revamping the way they plan business meetings. But employees still want impressive experiences and appreciate real-world motivational messages and personalized humor. If you find your company facing this dilemma, go here to see what I can add to your meetings, awards banquet or other corporate events.
