Hair clog tool for drain cleaning saves the day again
I almost like getting a clogged drain now, because I know the Flexisnake will take care of the problem.

There's a new school of car insurance companies, and Clearcover leads the pack
"Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door." That century-old quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson (sort of) is just as true today. If you build a better product, offer a better service or create a better infrastructure for customers, then with a bit of time and attention, the world… READ THE REST
