Bsmbi says "spell binding reading" about Cindy Smallwood

Bsmbi — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 15:48:14 GMT

Cindy Smallwood writes novels that keep you glued to your book. Her series on the Amish community is spell binding. Her trilogy of the Sisters of the Quilt keeps you wanting more with each page as you read. It is almost as if you are right there in the lives of the people she has written about. She is so authentic in story telling it is as if you are living those lives. Her detail to accuracy is compelling. You can feel the emotions of these characters as she details all that goes on in the story. From sadness to out right anger at someone who has done them wrong to the forgiveness and love that they share for each other. This is one series of books I would recommend to those who love a spell binding read and are into the simple lives of others.

Bsmbi says "The most accurate show about Military Wives" about Army Wives

Bsmbi — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 15:16:34 GMT

The show about Army wives is so accurate about how the military treats wives and how we end up sometimes having to go it alone. As a retired Army Wife, I feel as if I am reliving the whole experience again. My husband is like Pamela husband, gone all the time. I saw him only 2-3 days per month. This show is to the point, especially with the children. It is very hard on teens who have to move around a lot. High School is so important and to have to move during your junior or Senior year is devastating. Thank God our children were out of HS when we moved for the final time. I am hoping that when the 3rd season comes around that we can see more about the impact on the young ones lives. The show showed a little about the younger ones and with Emmaline a lot. I just hope that this young soldier realizes how much trouble he is really going to be in, especially if they have sex.

Moving is very hard when your in the service. Sometimes you only get to be in one place for a year, sometimes longer....

Bsmbi says "Century car seat-excellant from baby to toddlers" about Century Eccel SE

Bsmbi — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 20:14:34 GMT

Century Car Seats are economical and safe. The seat grows with the child until they reach 40 lbs or 4 years of age. The belt positioning on the seat allows for room to grow without pinching the child. This seat is easy to install and is rugged enough to with stand the child as he/she grows into it. The positioning in the rear facing is easy and requires a seat belt to keep it positioned in the back seat of the car. In most cars rides well in the middle of the back seat. In SUV's and mini vans the middle of the second seat. Pickup trucks-turn off the airbag on the passengers side before installing, positioning near the middle of the front seat, if you have a rear jump seat, position back there remembering to use the seat belts.

This a cost effective seat for families on a tight budget. The child gets one seat until 4 years old then can go into a booster seat that lasts until 10 years old. I have 19 grandchildren and everyone of them has used this kind of seat and has not had any problems...

Bsmbi says "excellant" about State Farm

Bsmbi — Wed, 07 May 2008 15:17:00 GMT

State Farm has always been excellant in every dealings I have had with them. When I got hit by a police car (who ran a red light with not siren on) they were fast with seeing to it I had a replacement car with in 1 hour and taking care of paying the claims real fast. Our whole family has used State Farm for over 45 years and has had excellant results, from Fires to tornado damage and even Hurricane damage, they have been fast and quick with seeing that the claims are paid on time to seeing if you have any pressing needs or concerns at the time that need addressed....

Bsmbi says "mesmerising" about Eragon

Bsmbi — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 16:24:26 GMT

Eragon, the movie is so captivating. If you take your eyes off, you miss something. I can hardly wait until the next chapter is done. The book is riveting and I can not wait until book 3 and 4 come out. From what I have heard about book 3, there was to much for one book, so the author is making a fourth book. Way to go. The author captures your imagination and keeps it until the very end of the book.

Bsmbi says "Dark and smart" about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Bsmbi — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 16:37:17 GMT

As with all things, so this must come to an end, I just wish it would not. I wish that JK Rawlings would continue with this series only with the children of Harry, Ron and yes, even Malfoy and a new evil that could destroy the whole magical world. For Lord Voldemort had a child, who grew up and is at Hogwarts teaching. This of course, has not happened, but would have been nice for continuing. I am glad to see the Weasly's getting back together and fighting for a common good. Sad to see the death of one of the Twins and others. This book is the best of the series and also the most page turning ( read this book in 6 hours). I am glad that Harry and the rest did not die ( I and my grandchildren was very worried about this). My postman hated me that day this book came out, you see I ordered 20 books-I have 19 grandchildren who all love Harry Potter. They all have the series of books and others that I have given them. I felt sorry for Cho, but at the same time I also could feel how the others......

Bsmbi says "Harry Potter Grandmother-cool " about Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Bsmbi — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 16:18:03 GMT

Loved the Harry Potter series and movies. I am always the first in line for the movies along with my 19 grandchildren. According to them I am cooler that there parents on this stuff. I also buy them the books when they would come out. I loved the movie Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix. The dark side of magic and Lord Voldemort, the ministry of magic and there looking the other way. This is what leads to the problems at Hogwarts and with the students (who are not so smart)at times. I wished they would have brought in more of the beginning of the book as this sets up the rest of the book and would have been helpful in explaining the rest of the story. My grandchildren loved the special effects and how the children interact with each other, especially Cho. This also explains a lot about how people react to Harry Potter himself. The troubling times that teenagers have in their lives of sometimes grown ups not believing them and the frustration they feel. Harry is growing into a mature......

Bsmbi says "explains a lot" about Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

Bsmbi — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 16:02:59 GMT

This movie explains a lot about Darth Vadar. The love that Anny had for Patamie was real and special. This also explains the good that Luke could feel in his father. Ewan McGregor was exceptional as Obi-Own. I also like the good looks and his eyes-so cool looking. The patience that he had with Anikin was exceptional. The look and saying when he told him he was to bring balance to the force not leave it in darkness was to the point and so correct. Only it was Luke who brings balance to the force, not his father. When Patamie was giving birth, the heart break of Anikin not being there was tearing at her heart and afterward of keeping her looking like she was still with child, so the Emperor would not and could not feel the children's presence. This also explains why they were seperated at birth and how Lei got on Aldaron and how Luke was raised by his "Uncle"-Anikin's step-brother. The love that Anikin had for his mother was poinient. All of the things that happened to Anikin, spells out......

Bsmbi says "great place for sewing stuff" about Jo-Ann

Bsmbi — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 15:42:05 GMT

Jo-Ann Fabrics is a great place to shop. I have never had problems with finding items and at great prices. I am an avid sewer, I have found that the company always has items in stock and a great staff to help you find what you need. The ladies are always helpful and very knowledgeable about the products and services that I have been looking for. There stores are always clean and neat, well organized. The on-line shopping is great with great pictures and descriptions, along with great prices. I was able to find items that are very hard to come by. I wholeheartedly recommend Jo-Ann Fabrics for anyone who sews from beginner to the most experienced....

Bsmbi says "love it" about MyPoints

Bsmbi — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 17:06:46 GMT

I love Mypoints.com, I have been a member for a while. Every time I use my points to get gift cards, I get them real fast. My friends and family love mypoints.com too. The points add up real fast and the more you shop thru mypoints the more points you earn. I would love to see more sites join in and to see more sites with 10 points instead of the 5 points.

The surveys are a great way to add points too. A lot of them are so much fun and you can even get freebies from some of the surveys. I wish they had more of them and that they stayed open just a little bit longer ( some close the day they come out).
