• Who Gets Top Bunk?

  I LOVED sleeping on the top bunk when I was a kid, so I've been checking out this trendy hybrid "bunk-ton" for sale by Reinier. A black one exactly like it just sold on Onow.com for $100. The one in the pic comes with an extra bonus though: Both the top twin mattress and the full futon mattress are included in the deal ! Check out the ad for more details.  --Olivia   Posted Jul 30 2008, 02:50 PM by Olivia With no comments

• Hey Man...Nice Car!

  Wow! I forgot how quickly our autos section is growing until I began browsing the car ads today. People from Omaha and surrounding areas have posted everything from an old-school Jaguar to a 2008 Kia mini-van. Personally, I like this little silver sports car. The only problem is I don't think I know how to drive a 6-speed manual. (As a matter of fact, if anybody knows what a 6-speed manual even is, click "View the blog" below and post a comment!) Sure looks fast, whatever it is.  Vroom-Vroom! -- Olivia  Posted Jul 28 2008, 04:06 PM by Olivia With no comments

• On the Road

  The trucking industry amazes me: Imagine having the grit and skill to drive a big rig   thousands of miles across the country--negotiating narrow interstate lanes and eating and sleeping at truck stops--all to deliver the shipment and get right back on the road again! If you're one of those rare, experienced individuals who does have  what it takes, this job ad by Jim Bender, Inc. should interest you. If sitting behind a desk is more your speed, don't worry--Onow.com has Administrative job listings too. Happy job hunting! --Olivia   Posted Jul 22 2008, 02:29 PM by Olivia With no comments

• ODM Gives Hope to Local Homeless

  It's easy to think about the homeless when blustery, below-zero temperatures make us wonder: How do people survive without shelter? But agencies that serve the homeless experience sharp decreases in donations and volunteers during the summer. Candace of the the Open Door Mission reminds us that--due to ailments like dehydration and heat exhaustion--summertime is NOT necessarily the "right time" to have to live on the streets. Check the Onow.com Community Events Calendar regularly to find out about community events at the Mission and witness how the dedicated folks there bring hope and relief to homeless men, women, and children every season.  --Olivia Posted Jul 18 2008, 02:38 PM by Olivia With no comments

• For Sale: Cute Puppies

  At first I was disappointed to discover that the ad for three Pavillion puppies I saw the other day was gone--they must have been sold. But then I found this puppy: part Maltese, part Toy  Poodle, part Ihasa Apso--completely adorable. The seller has two females and one male available. Check out the ad in our Dogs section. If big dogs are more your speed, there are some pretty cute Great Dane puppies also advertised on Onow.com.      ---Olivia     Posted Jul 13 2008, 06:34 AM by Olivia With no comments

• Jazz and Rock and Funk (and Beer), Oh My!

  So...maybe you don't have what it takes to be in a band, but this Friday at the Waiting Room Lounge you can at least be in a band video. July 11 at 9 p.m., Omaha-based jazz-rock-funk fusion band Polydypsia will be performing an all ages show at the Waiting Room AND recording this very special LIVE performance for future DVD production! Not likely to be any bikinis or Moet in this music video; just a multisensory bag of groove and rad visuals and probably some Pabst, if you want it. Click on Poly’s band poster above to find information on this and other music events on Onow.com’s Community Events Calendar. Follow the link in Polydypsia's event listing to the band's Website for a free sample of the “funk goulash” they plan to serve up hot this Friday.    By the way, have you  tried posting your event for FREE on Onow.com's Community Events Calendar? And why not...?!   --Olivia   Posted Jul 08 2008, 03:46 PM by Olivia With no comments

• Guitar Hero's Dream!

  An Epiphone Les Paul 1956 Goldtop Replica! Oh my gosh!! ...OK, so I don't exactly know what that is; but I know this guitar is GORGEOUS, Retro-esque, and made to look, feel and play like a $3,000 classic Gibson! Plus, check out the neat retro amp it comes with. Doesn't the whole package just sparkle like a Tiger's Eye? Doesn't it make you want to get off the X-Box and start a real garage band? Check out the Baby Grand piano, vintage blues guitar, and extraordinary Peavey Wiggy amps also for sell right here in Omaha, on Onow.com!!
