Beauticontrolpw says "Logitech does Not back their equipment" about Logitech - Harmony One Remote

Beauticontrolpw — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 06:21:15 GMT

I purchased this logitech remote less than 4 months ago, and it has already had the LCD display burn out in it, with normal light use and no damage otherwise by the consumer. I have read other reviews and have found that this is not uncommon. When speaking to logitech, I was told that someone would get back to me. They did.

Their answer? Sorry about that, nothing we can do. No offer of repairing or replacing the LCD.

Don't waste hard earned money on something when a company will not back up their inferior product! Lesson learned.

I am very disappointed with this universal remote, and very disappointed with Logitech and their customer service..... there is much to be desired. They say when you please a customer, they tell 10 people. When you make a customer mad, they tell 100 people. Guess what? I'm telling everyone in cyberspace!

Logitech can forget this customer---for good. The burned out LCD display renders this device useless and cannot be used.

Beauticontrolpw says "I'm still not sure I liked it-but it still was a good movie" about Seven Pounds

Beauticontrolpw — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 18:23:30 GMT

I really didn't expect this movie to be like this-it was depressing, and if you really want a good tear jerker, then by all means I recommend it. It was a good movie, and it had a good plot. It was interesting and I didn't fall asleep--that says a lot!

I didn't expect the ending though, I think I expected it to be a feel good do-gooder type of movie, and it didn't turn out to be all "warm and fuzzy" like I wanted it to be. There are way too many depressing things out here today to focus on without things like this being on a movie screen and in your face.

I suppose I should have chosen a comedy. I do love Will Smith though, even his attempts at some of the movies that weren't so good were appreciated-

Beauticontrolpw says "Meat that melts in your mouth!" about Pinnon's IGA - Rockford, IL

Beauticontrolpw — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 08:29:20 GMT

Pinnon's IGA of Rockford has everything you need for your next summer barbeque! They have the best specialty meats in Rockford, with their on site butcher shop in the back of the store, just like the old days!

The meat is fresh, and can be ordered ahead or just stop in for a couple of thick juicy filet mignon bacon wrapped, or try a new york strip. These steaks are so good, even the most inexperienced griller can have a fantastic steak. The meat is very fresh and all cuts can be viewed behing the glass. You can pick one steak, or ten. They also special cut prime rib if you order ahead--any weight you ask for!

You won't get meats anywhere else in Rockford that are this good, and well worth the money. A lot of people may say it's expensive, however I haven't found it so. In fact, if you buy 6 or more steaks you get a lower price per pound.

My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I wish I had ordered prime rib for Easter!

Light the grill and drive on over to that little place on...

Beauticontrolpw says "More expensive than K Mart should be" about Kmart - Rockford, IL

Beauticontrolpw — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 08:17:54 GMT

I have visited this K Mart on numerous occasions. I will give them credit, the store is clean, but there aren't many customers at any given time of day. Their grocery aisle is not even close to up to par with other stores like this, and the items are much more expensive than I have seen elsewhere locally.

The biggest problem with K Mart is the difficulty of finding a clerk to help you, and the long wait in the ONE lane that is open when you go to check out. With so few customers you would think that the process of checkout would improve.

But again, the store is clean, and if you want something you can usually find it. Parking lot is relatively empty too, speeds up the process when you don't have to walk three miles to your car.

Beauticontrolpw says "I feel safe with where I invest my money" about TDAmeritrade

Beauticontrolpw — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 08:12:08 GMT

I investigated many companies before I chose a place to save and invest, and I am glad I chose TD Ameritrade. I feel safe and secure, and although in this economy growth has slowed, it hasn't come to a halt, and I have not lost any money. I show growth every month--sometimes more than expected.

The website is a bit difficult to navigate, but with practice you can figure it out, and there is always support if you need it.

Beauticontrolpw says "Heavenly summer food starts here!" about Char-Griller Char-Griller Duo

Beauticontrolpw — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 08:06:13 GMT

I love my Char griller! If you want a little charcoal taste, you can have it, or for those who don't want the charcoal, well they can have it! You can do both at once on this grill to please them all, or use the gas side for those things you would rather keep a control of the temperature. There is a side plate to put your pan cooking items in, and you have the option of attaching a smoker (additional purchase) right to the side of the grill! It's versatile and if you run out of gas, you can use the charcoal side and vice versa! It sure beats having two grills for different things. AND it's very roomy so all your food can be cooked on it at once!

The char-griller duo solved a lot of problems for me with space and needs!

Beauticontrolpw says "Well made and very comfortable" about Select Comfort Sleep Number Bed 5000

Beauticontrolpw — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 07:56:38 GMT

I was very skeptical when choosing a sleep number bed, but when I laid down on one in the showroom I was pretty much sold.
6 months later, no problems with the bed's mechanics, and it's still so comfortable. I love this bed, wish I could lay there all day!

The expense is well worth the price for the longevity of the mattress. I will likely never have to get another one, as they last so long I might not be here when it's time to replace it!

Great choice for 40 somethings on up---

Beauticontrolpw says "Authentic Italian food, Pizza made on site, never frozen!" about Nunzio's Italian Ristorante - Loves Park, IL

Beauticontrolpw — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 07:30:06 GMT

I love Nunzio's in Loves Park Illinois, one of the best Authentic Italian restaurants in the Rockford area. Great service, great food, and I have never had a bad meal there. If something isn't right, they fix it with no questions asked. Delivery is fast and hot.

You can spend 10 dollars on a nice meal, or 30-40 depending on your tastes. You can just order a pizza or a full dinner and wine, and they have a bar too! It's great on those nights when you don't want pizza, but you want delivery-anything from sandwiches to Steak Sinatra, they will package it and deliver it. If you want to dine in it is a wonderful Italian style family place, clean and has some ambience too. Great for a family gathering, business meeting, or a first date!

Nice area, free parking, great food, and friendly service makes this top on my list of places to dine near Rockford!

Beauticontrolpw says "State farm has helped me a lot" about State Farm

Beauticontrolpw — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 06:01:59 GMT

There are several things I love about State Farm, and one of them is that they assist you when you have a claim against an uninsured motorist. There aren't thousands of forms to fill out. The other thing I absolutely love about this company is they do not discriminate against breed of Dog you own, as long as your dog does not have a previous bite record and has not been trained for "defense", they will cover you with no questions asked in Illinois. I made sure to find out their policy before I committed. I will likely search for other options if this policy ever changes....

Beauticontrolpw says "I love the results I got! " about Revlon Colorsilk Hair Color

Beauticontrolpw — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 05:07:30 GMT

I really loved the results I got from this haircolor, so I posted a pic of "after". It didn't dry my hair out, and covered the grays that keep poking out here and there! I got one shade lighter than my natural color so it wouldn't appear colored.

It adds shine and depth without adding things I don't want, like dryness, reddish tones, or brassiness. I bought two bottles in a package so I can do it again as needed. I think the trick is not to overcolor, use only every 6-8 weeks, and use a root touch up in between if needed.

Beauticontrolpw says "Like an underwire for your skin" about BeautiControl Regeneration Tight, Firm & Fill

Beauticontrolpw — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 19:09:51 GMT

I love this product for many reasons, but held off on my review until I got two whole weeks to evaluate it. I have honestly tried almost everything on the market, and while I thought those things were working for me, my picture shows that they weren't.

I have had one specific line on my face, which started about 5 years ago. I thought it was either aging, or a "pillow line" or "sleep line", and it wouldn't go away. I tried everything, and just became convinced that it was there to stay....Although I got some results on other areas of my face, that line never went away---and I hated it.

I have now had two weeks with this cream. I will admit, I have always taken care of my skin the best I knew how--cleansing, toning, moisturizing, exfoliating - so I really expected little or no result. I would expect this to work a miracle for someone who never has taken care of their skin, and I would expect immediate results, but I really thought that I had done everything I could for my skin----Well,

Beauticontrolpw says "same as any other purse or bag--now where are my keys?" about Buxton Over The Shoulder Sling Organizer Bag

Beauticontrolpw — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 20:27:16 GMT

The only thing I can say about this bag is it looks nice....otherwise what a waste of money. I would rather go with cute fashion purses than this, it does me no good. Organize? NOT! Didn't simplify anything. Still a perpetual nightmare to find anything. The zippers keep unzipping themselves and make it more of a floppy mess than anything....

Beauticontrolpw says "Great for looking good when camping, traveling" about Olay Daily Facials Express Wet Cleansing Cloths, All Skin Types

Beauticontrolpw — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 06:19:03 GMT

I use these in the summer when I'm not where I usually am! Camping, traveling, or late hours doing double shifts--this is the item that keeps you looking good when you can't get that "special treatment" you would at home or at the hotel.

I like that I can use one of these and it looks like I attempted to make my skin look nice, and feel fresh and clean! I wouldn't use them every day or at home, but they are fantastic for those times when you don't have a sink and all of your toiletries with you. Now I can be a diva on the go!

Beauticontrolpw says "Not going back again!" about outback steak house - Rockford, IL

Beauticontrolpw — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 08:11:46 GMT

I love good food, but I also love good service. I was at Outback two weeks ago, and the place was not very busy and seemed overstaffed ( a lot of employees doing a lot of standing around). It took forever to get our order placed, 45 minutes until it got to the table. The waitress was not attentive and drinks were not refilled for a very long time, if at all. Then, when it came time to pay, it took 20 minutes to get that taken care of. This was a poor transaction all around, as the food was either not done, or overdone, depending on what was being served. The hot food was lukewarm, the cold food was the same.

I will not be going back to this location, and possibly not to any other location as well. I can cook better, faster, and cheaper. I cannot beleive this company is still surviving at all. They need something fast or they will suffer this economy. We felt more like an inconvenience than customers.

Beauticontrolpw says "Not even CLOSE to the real white castle!" about White Castle Microwavable Hamburgers

Beauticontrolpw — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 01:50:10 GMT

Well--honestly if you can't get real white castle sliders, you CAN find a recipe online that comes pretty close! If I am going to put salt and grease in me, it's got to taste good!

The recipe I found calls for a jar of baby food beef or liver mixed in with the hamburger meat. Don't bother to try making them healthy, that's part of the enjoyment of a slider!

I too remember way back when---but I travel to Chicago enough that I can get a slider or three on the way home. You have to eat them right there in the car, they don't taste good reheated either. I think the "southern" version is called "krystals".

Beauticontrolpw says "I love it but it has a few bugs" about Toshiba Satellite A215-S7462 15.4 Laptop PC Notebook

Beauticontrolpw — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 07:55:46 GMT

I love my toshiba laptop, but there are a few things that take getting used to. Sometimes my cursor will suddenly move and wind up in the middle of a previous paragraph and it drives me mad, but overall the computer is a good one, and i really enjoy working on it....

Beauticontrolpw says "This stuff is amazing!" about BeautiControl Lip Apeel

Beauticontrolpw — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 07:51:15 GMT

I have used a variety of different products for years, and this by far exceeded my expectations! The jar lasts what seems like forever, and you can feel really good about putting your lip color on after using it! This is the product to buy when all else has stopped working for you.....

Beauticontrolpw says "I love Portillo's" about Portillo's Hot Dogs - Naperville, IL

Beauticontrolpw — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 07:40:53 GMT

I really must say, when you aren't from the Chicago area, and have to drive an hour to get it, Portillo's Italian beef sandwiches simply cannot be compared to!! Couple that with a frosty mug of beer and you have one of Chicago's treasures in front of you! I used to go to the Northlake site when I worked in Melrose Park!...
