Do you find yourself commiserating a lot with Garfield when it comes to Monday mornings and your routine? Do you wish that you had more interesting looking personal bank checks? Well, if you’re a fan of the endearing, and sometimes gruff, big orange cat then carrying Garfield checks in your checkbook will always give you a reason to smile-even when it comes to your finances.

Created in 1978 by Jim Davis, Garfield is the world’s most syndicated comic strip. Everyone around the world is familiar with Garfield and his pals. The comic strip centers on the life and adventures of Garfield, a large orange, and sometimes lazy, cat as well as his owner Jon and Jon’s dog, Odie.

Garfield’s abhorrence of Monday mornings, his laziness, his obsessive love of eating, and his distaste of diets are some of the common themes that can be found within the comic strips. Both children and adults are able to enjoy the humor, somewhat due to the fact that the storylines are not political in nature and instead center on the daily humor that life can bring.

Jon is the owner of Garfield and Odie. He is generally portrayed as being somewhat geeky, although good hearted. Jon’s inability to find a date is an on-running joke, as are his eccentric habits such as stamp collecting and measuring his toenails. According to Garfield, he also has questioning taste in fashion as well.

Odie is an amiable yellow dog that is mostly shown to be naive, but endearing. However, his naivete could be an act since sometimes when Jon and Garfield are gone Odie can be seen watching educational programs on television and reading. Although Garfield usually gets the better of Odie, the two do seem to share a friendship with one another.

Now, if you’re a fan of Garfield and his friends, then you can get Garfield personal bank checks at a portion of the cost that you might have paid at your bank by ordering your checks online. When you use a safe site you can save as much as 50% off the price that you might have paid in the past.

The Garfield checks are endearing and light-hearted, just like the comic strip. You can even purchase coordinating address labels and a matching checkbook cover to go with them in order to complete your Garfield collection. Every time you write a Garfield check, you won’t help but smile-even if your finances are no laughing matter.

Ordering checks online is simple and quick and takes the task out of going to your local bank. You just need to know your routing number and checking account number to get started. These will be printed directly onto the checks themselves. You can typically expect to receive the checks in around 3-5 days, which might even be faster than your bank got them to you in the past.

When a meteorite from outer space hits a young California woman named Susan Murphy and causes her to grow to gigantic size, she is taken to a secret government compound where she meets a ragtag group of monsters also rounded up over the years. [youtube:E7TLinaSSHE;Enjoy [link:monsters vs aliens];http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7TLinaSSHE&feature=related]

She meets other monsters, like half-man, half-fish The Missing Link; an indestructible blob named B.O.B.; brilliant scientist Dr. Cockroach; and a giant grub named Insectosaurus. As a last resort, under the guidance of General W.R. Monger, on a desperate order from The President, the motley crew of Monsters is called into action to combat the aliens and save the world from imminent destruction!

Though all the characters are funny and endearing, B.O.B’s character is sure to catch and hold your attention. B.O.B’s missions will take you to different challenges and will keep you active and on your toes throughout. It is the perfect sci-fi movie to watch with family and friends. Charming, fun and exciting is what you will find the movie to be.

Susan’s transformation and its effects on her and the people around will provide for enough humour and laughter and you will definitely enjoy it. The film is visually splendid, with lots of colour, action and emotions. The story is fast-paced and quite easy to understand, making it equally interesting to kids and adults. It is a story of friendship and self-realization. You will know how people change with time and how relationships undergo change over the years.

Most videogames based on movies don’t come close to replicating the action and fun of the film. Monsters vs. Aliens: The Videogame is an exception. Many are of the opinion that the videogame outdoes the movie for fun and that it’s not only good, but actually better than the movie. You can play through each of the characters and enjoy the same with your friends.

Look no further than GI Joe costumes for one of the most popular themes this Halloween. Kids with active imaginations will love dressing up as these modern day warriors with the coolest weapons and outfits.

Let your oldest kid act out the role of first sergeant, Duke, who’s always looking out for his team members. The young ones in the family can choose who among the characters they’d want to mimic – be it the ninja who can expertly engage in hand-to-hand combat, or the brave annihilator of Cobra commander.

Ninjas Attack

Yound kids can’t resist the idea of dressing up in an all black jumpsuit with hooded mask and becoming a little ninja warrior. If you can’t find a jumpsuit that looks quite right at home, you can easily find a high quality ninja costume online.

A second option is going with the all white look. The ninja Storm Shadow has an all white outfit, complete with white shoes, sword and throwing stars.

Reading something about GI Joe characters will let you in on the characters’ alliances and mysterious background. For instance, one of the ninjas in GI Joe’s squad, Snake Eyes, heavily protects his eyes to hide the serious scars he sustained in the past.

Females in GI Joe

Have a daughter who wants to join the costumed fun? Let her be the black bodysuit-clad female member of the GI Joe team, Scarlett, and hand her a crossbow. Just be sure she does not inflict any serious harm on her ninja brothers using it.

GI Joe Accessories

It’s easy to add little finishing touches to your child’s GI Joe costume with realistic helmets, swords, and high quality gloves. The next level would be to go with one of the deluxe muscle armor kits available with most of the costumes.

Don’t forget to save the memories. Preserve the moment and shoot away with your digital camera so they can enjoy looking at their ninja warrior photos which may also be shared with friends and family.
