You have spared no expense in the planning of your wedding. The candle wedding favors are all lit and everyone is still drying the tears from their eyes. You have thanked everyone for coming. You have paid the band and shook hands with all two hundred plus guests, pretending to remember all of them. Everyone has thanked you for the elegant wedding favors and commented on how beautiful the bride is. The ushers are bringing cars around and it is finally winding down. Now it is time for the night you have been waiting on for your entire life. Romantic candles, soft music, and a chilled bottle of wine await you, your new wife, and her mother.

Everything comes to a screeching halt. Did I just say that her mother would be spending the night with you and your bride on your wedding night? Well, you think to yourself, I guess we could make up the spare bedroom. Wrong again, because your mother in law will be in the bedroom with you. Now you know I must be either drunk as a skunk, or crazy as a loon. Well you are wrong on both counts. I am describing a wedding custom of several villages in Africa. In all complete seriousness, there are tribes who have a custom that the bride’s mother, your mother in law must spend the night with the newly married couple and it gets worse. Her job is to make sure that your new wife knows what to do to make you happy…in bed.

It does not have to be the bride’s mother. In certain situations, it can be the groom’s mother or in lack of a bride or groom’s mother, a female village elder. They literally sit there and direct the bride what to do and watch to make sure she does it right. To make things worse, if your wife does something too well, the watcher will report to the village elders that she was not a virgin and the wedding will be annulled. Talk about some strict rules. You have to hope that your new bride is not a natural at sex or you could lose her.

In another small village near Borneo, there is a wedding custom for which I just do not think I would have the stomach. During the first 72 hours after the wedding, in order to avoid bad luck, the newly married couple is not allowed to urinate or have a bowel movement. In order to ensure they do not cheat, the couple is watched day and night. They can only have small sips of water and a few bites of food every now and then. I do not know about anyone else, but I cannot go 72 hours without peeing even if my life depended on it. Shoot, at my age, I am lucky if I can get through a two-hour movie without relieving myself. In fact, I do not go to the movies because of this, choosing instead to wait for the DVD release of the film. Making it through one night without going to the can would be hard enough and they want me to go for three nights? My bladder would burst.

These weird wedding traditions are pretty strange but they are steeped deeply in the traditions of these customs and are lovingly followed to the letter in most cases. I just cannot imagine how embarrassed I would be to have my mother in law standing over my wedding bed directing traffic. I think it would be even worse if it were my mother doing it.

In theory, online shopping is quicker and more convenient than trailing around shopping malls. In practice, it can be quite difficult to find exactly what you are looking for, especially if you want to save on your online shopping. Comparing prices online is time-consuming and difficult. That’s about to change with MyShoppingGenie – the best way to save on your online shopping.

When you think about shopping online, do you think about endless searches, finding different retail sites, searching for the product you want to buy, then trying to compare prices? Only to find a week later that you could have saved a few more dollars if you’d bought at the one online retailer you didn’t find? MyShoppingGenie finds the best deals and lowest prices on millions of products across the web, searching major online retailer and auction sites such as Amazon, Ebay, Walmart and much more. MyShoppingGenie software is freely available, and really easy to download and install on your computer. It will take you 5 minutes at the most to get the application up and running, and it is easy to use.

The application works with whichever search engine you normally use, Google, Yahoo, Bing etc, so you don’t do anything differently. Instead of hours spent searching online, you simply open your search engine, type in whatever it is you are looking for, and MyShoppingGenie does the rest for you.

A simple toolbar will appear at the bottom of your screen when your search results come up. This toolbar has various retailers listed, which you can click on to see their prices for the item, or you can click on ‘Compare’. A window opens on the side of your screen with several retailers listed. These are the best prices or deals that MyShoppingGenie has found for you. By checking the box next to each retailer and clicking on ‘Compare’, you automatically open each of the retailer’s sites in a new browser tab. Now you can simply click between the windows to compare prices.

Much easier than using a search engine, then finding there are over 3 million results for that product. Which of the many search results will lead you to a reputable retailer? Once you’ve clicked through to a retailer, you’ve got to go back and do it all again if you want to compare prices. And how many of the sites you click on are not what you thought they were, or don’t actually sell directly, so you end up having to click through to yet another website in the hope that you can buy what you want there? This is a frustrating, time-consuming and very seldom satisfactory shopping experience. If you want to save on your online shopping, this hardly seems the best way to do it.

There are over 200 000 online stores’ and manufacturers’ sites that MyShoppingGenie searches for you, so you only have to search on your familiar search engine, once.
