Booches says "Fantastic product with great features & size" about Cuisinart Brick Oven Deluxe with Convection Bake (Model BRK-200)

Booches — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 19:13:46 GMT

We purchased the Cuisinart Brick Oven Deluxe with Convection Bake (BRK-200) around May 2008 and have loved it ever since. The price seems to be pretty consistent (around $250) from when we purchased it. And now it is about 7 months later! :)

When I was researching which Convection oven/ toaster oven to purchase, I did a LOT of research prior to deciding on this one --- some things I looked at were cubic space, convection and toaster oven features (I wasn't so concerned as the "bread baking feature" but that of course is an added feature for one day when I take those next cooking steps!) ;)

Some of the positives:
Great for heating up pizza (convection oven) without powering up the whole regular oven or using the microwave. It also heats up pretty quickly. You can fit quite a number of items into the space. I'm able to fit large size casserole dishes in the oven. I also use it to heat up quick things such as french fries or chicken finger types. There are 3 temperatures for the......

Booches says "6 month old mattress and back problems encountered!" about Sealy Moon Scape (Pillowtop / Firm)

Booches — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 17:59:36 GMT

We had our mattress purchased/delivered by Macy's in mid May 2008. Now it is December 2008, almost 7 months later.

When we first got the mattress, we had no issues with it. We tested it out extensively in the stores (as well as many other mattresses). However, a few months ago, I noticed a dip on my husband's side of the bed (he is 6'1, approximately 275 pounds plus). I thought the dip was due to his size - double the size of me almost. I knew we had an issue when I started to feel the dips on my side of the bed as well.

Right around the same time, I started getting recurring back problems, on my lower lumbar. Coincidence? I think so! I've never had back issues before up until now and let me tell you - those who have back issues will agree - they are not fun!

We contacted Macy's recently after I went to the doctors to look at my back. The doctor asked several times the condition of our bed. Thats when we went back and looked at it in greater details. You can......

Booches says "iPhone is a great phone, but you have to be willing to pay!" about Apple - iPhone Cell Phone

Booches — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 04:07:38 GMT

The iPhone is a great phone and is a step ahead of the rest. However, there are its cons that I did not realize until after I purchased...if you are willing to live without these, you should definitely make the investment! The iPhone does not have MMS texting (picture messaging)... something I use ALL the time so I was pretty disappointed. It also does not include regular texting in its mandatory $30 data plan. It is pretty slippery, so invest in a good secure cell phone holder. I also understand that it can mark up pretty quickly if you drop it - so be careful! The battery life isn't the best, but, just turn off the 3G network and you are game. I've been able to go for 2 days straight (initial test so far) and talking for several hours each day and the battery has not yet died.

On the other hand, this phone is a little computer, which means, yes, you have the ability to hack it. You can then enable MMS messaging above, and you can take videos (you cannot do that right......
