ma1ibu says "Actually helps breastfeeding!" about Breastflow, First Years Gift Set Baby Bottle

ma1ibu — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:36:07 GMT

I can not say enough about these bottles. They are lifesavers! My son is tongie tied, and it makes nursing him painful, as well as laborious. Well we started using these bottles and within days I noticed a difference in his latching ability. He opens much wider now, and will actually adjust the latch himself if it is wrong! He's not even a week old yet! The two part nipples insure that he uses proper form when feeding. Although these bottles are easier for him to use than the breast, he hasn't shown any nipple confusion and still prefers the breast over the bottle. The nipples are a little more dificult to work with than most, since they have two parts, but the extra time is definately worth it with this product (and really isn't that complicated). They do not leak when properly assembled. Mine never have. The gift set includes 2 small and two large bottles with nipples and lids (which come sterilized and individually wrapped). It also includes a bottle brush, which...

tpatti says "This microwave does amazing things!" about Kenmore microwave, model #80089

tpatti — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:30:31 GMT

We bought this when we were shopping for appliances when we remodeled our kitchen. I love freeing up the counter space. Hubby and I argued a little bit over whether we really needed the model with the sensor. I am so glad that we decided to go with it. It is just miraculous how it "knows" when food is cooked to perfection. There are a lot of foods that I did not like "nuked" but this microwave does a great job even on things I used to hate cooked in a microwave. This model comes with a removable rack which we imagined using on a daily basis, truthfully it sits in a closet, oh well. This model has a 5 speed fan which is great, very flexible for your specific needs. It is 1100 watts and has a 1.7 cubic feet capacity.It does a great job at defrosting, our other microwaves always started cooking the food way before it was any where near defrosted. We would reccoment this to anyone and everyone. It truly is the best microwave we have ever had.

whispero says "Absolutely the best out there totally amazing." about Pantene Hair Growth Shampoo

whispero — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:01:10 GMT

I have always felt My hair deserved Only the best, So i tried everything out there.

I found that pantene was the very best for my type of hair.

That work a day mom who had little time to fool around.

I then discovered an absolute Fabulous match for me with the hair lengthener.

We all use blow dryers and damage our hair when in a hurry. We then over correct with shorter hair styles. Well this product not only helped me rebuild hair faster and get the length I wanted. It also gave me the healthiest hair I have had since 19.

It is a must have for anyone who cares as much for they're hair as I do

to me it is my crowning glory and thanks to Pantene It stays that way.

tpatti says "Our Kenmore refrigerator is the roomiest yet!" about Kenmore Refrigerator

tpatti — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:56:51 GMT

When we were remodeling out kitchen we decided to replace our appliances. The one I was most happy to replace was our refrigerator. The last one we had seemed so small inside. I never had enough room during the holidays for all my food. We purchased the Model 253 because of how roomy it was. I loved the seperate temperature controls for veggies and fruits. I love the way you can reconfigurate the shelves. Right now I have a HUGE thawing in there with no problem, just needed to move one shelf up. I decided against the stainless steel after hearing from several people who own them saying how hard they are to keep clean. I have a bright red and white kitchen and we bought all black appliances, I love the look. I really appreciate that I can prep whole trays of food ahead of time and put them in the refrigerator. This refrigerator has met my needs and even exceeded some. The only down side, and I knew from researching before I bought it was that it makes a rather loud knocking noise, if it...

SweetAngel41 says "Great for the holiday cooking" about Maytag Gemini

SweetAngel41 — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:35:40 GMT

My husband bought me a Maytag Gemini double oven. I have to say, I love this stove. I am big on doing up the holidays, so this oven is perfect. I love being able to cook with two ovens, each having their own tempature setting. It's wonderful to put on a meal and have everything come out of the ovens at the same time, all hot and steamy. It's easy to clean also with the sealed burners. I don't think I can part with this oven. I love the fact that when I need to make several batches of cookies or breads, it cuts my cooking time down in half.

nancyrainey says "good but expensive degree" about University of Phoenix - BSBA

nancyrainey — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:30:30 GMT

Although a good education can be had, the money is extreme. In getting an on-line degree, I ended up owing UOP over $30,000 and this did not include the grant money (Pell) I received each semester/class. After interest, had I taken the time given to pay the loan, the total would have been over $60K. The job market does not support making enough money (for someone with a Bachelors only) to pay this off in a worthwhile manner. Thankfully I received an inheritance with which I paid the balance.

Anyone going for a BSBA should think twice about going to UoP. The program is great and the teachers (for the most part) are somewhat attentive but one must work in 'teams' with other students who normally do not have the same level of dedication you do and therefore you either end up doing most of the work, all of the work (while the others coast) or you are the one that coasts and gets on the others nerves. It is highly difficult to do spreadsheets and learn accounting while depending on the work...

thewordgirl says "If you want to wake up feeling better, take Nyquil!" about Nyquil Nyquil (night time)

thewordgirl — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:10:01 GMT

Nyquil (night time) medicine comes in both liquid forms and gel cap forms. I use the gel cap form, and though the label says to take two, I take one because I'm small. I take one before I go to bed, and when I wake up, my nose feels less clogged up, my head aches less, and I generally feel like my cold symptoms have lessened. Also, Nyquil is wonderful for helping you go to and stay asleep. If I follow my night with Nyquil up with popping a Dayquil in the morning before I leave for school (Nyquil and Dayquil gelcaps can be bought in the same box, which is very handy), I am pretty much good to gofor the day, and I don't have to suffer nearly as much with my cold symptoms. I really think Nyquil is an effective medicine if you have a nasty cold that just won't go away and not going to school or work is not an option.

opioderopiatesss says "The Pro's and Cons of playstation 2" about play station 2 - Play Station 2 Console

opioderopiatesss — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 10:28:30 GMT

playstation two is awesome! It has good graphics and the controller fits in your hands nicely. Its the next best thing next to playstation3 and x box 360 it was called the new revolution in gaming and graphics when it first came out. To date there is over 800 new game disks and more are coming from manufacturers these days. ps2 changed the name of game consoles and layed the grounds down for newer and more complex gaming consoles to be invented. There is alot of excitement from teens, Kids, and even adults. It can bring the family together by allowing the family to relax and enjoy the excitement of gaming.

There is also negative results from the Ps2 gaming console. Certain games can cause seizures from the rapid movement and light patterns. Some people "basically' can also in a way get addicted to playing video games on the ps2. They want to keep playing untill they beat the whole game. This can cause sleeping, relationship problems and health problems. All in...

nannettefmelamed says "I'd rather pay the few extra bucks for Pampers." about Luvs Diapers

nannettefmelamed — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 09:57:48 GMT

These weren't the worst diapers I have ever tried, but they certainly were not the best. I felt like the waist size was very large compared to other major brands like Pampers and Huggies and that the overall size of the diaper was drastically larger in comparison to the same sizes of the others mentioned.

I didn't experience leaks, however, considering Pampers and Huggies always have coupons and they are both available at most major retailers, I can find them easier and generally pay the same price as Luvs, which I can only find at Wal-marts. I have never even seen a Luvs coupon either.

nannettefmelamed says "Good Start has the best ingredient panel of all formulas." about Good Start Good Start Gentle Plus

nannettefmelamed — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 09:53:32 GMT

We LOVE Good Start formulas, not only are they the most economical, but they also post the best ingredient panel out there, starting with whey protein rather than corn syrup solids. In addition, the customer service agents are fantastic and completely walked me through the entire line of products to help me pick what was best for us ... they have a money back guarantee and they send $11 checks, which makes the formula less than $13 at most places, depending on whether you choose Nourish, Gentle or Immume ... I can't say enough good about this formula.

shanajayes says "Claritin makes severe allergies bearable" about Claritin Allergy Cetirizine Hydrochloride Tablets

shanajayes — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:52:24 GMT

I had an allergy test about a decade ago, and tested not only positive, but strongly positive, for almost forty common allergens. I was so discouraged-I wondered if I would have to live in a bubble! I love my animals-I wasn't going to get rid of them unless it was extremely necessary, and the rest of them were completely unavoidable-about half inside, half were outside. My favorite place to be is the woods, and I was allergic to pretty much everything out there. I have taken Claritin every day since those diagnoses, and tend to take it for granted as normalcy. If I forget it, my nose itches, my eyes burn and water, and my throat has this incorrigible itch. It keeps my nose much more free of sinus infections because there is little allergy-related mucus build-up. Every morning, Claritin is the first thing in my mouth, even before the toothpaste. I depend upon it. It doesn't seem to lose its potency despite all the years I have used it.

shanajayes says "Proctor Silex hasn't failed me yet" about Proctor-Silex Belgian Waffle Maker

shanajayes — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:43:00 GMT

I get out my Proctor-Silex Belgian Waffle Maker on mornings when I want to give some extra TLC to my favorite houseguests. I've had it for years and years, and it makes waffle-making easy. The batter recipes it came with have been very good, but the others I have used with it have been great too. It heats up quickly, cooks quickly, and cleans SO easily-the batter wipes off so smoothly that it looks like its been carefully cleaned, when it was simply just a quick wipe. The waffle it makes is large enough to be cut into four quarters, for those who want smaller portion. When I get out my P-S waffle maker, everyone knows its going to be a special breakfast-the real maple syrup,whip cream, and fresh fruit is there to compliment. If I open a B&B one day, I'll be looking for te Proctor-Silex Belgian Waffle Maker to add to my small kitchen appliances. Then again, the one I have now may still be in my possession and still going strong!

queenbess1914 says "I am proud to be a Frugal Guru" about Bounce Dryer Bar

queenbess1914 — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:41:48 GMT

I'm a 44 year old lady with no children. So doing laundry is no big deal. Viewpoints sent me the new BOUNCE Dryer Fabric Softener Bar to test. All you have to do is attach it to the inside of your dryer where your clothes can tumble onto it. It does what a dryer sheets does, but without having to remember to toss a sheet in. Also you do not have to worry about finding a used dryer sheet stuck to your clothes. Can you imagine going to an important meeting and everyone noticing a used dryer sheet stuck to your blouse or even worse your butt!

According to the package, the BOUNCE Dryer Bar should last for about 2 months. However, the package does not tell you what they think is the average usage rate. For a single lady like myself, I only dry about 4-5 loads a month so it should last way more than 2 months. When you do need to replace it the word REPLACE appears and all you do is slide out the old and slide in the replacement. It sounds very easy

It works as well as...

shanajayes says "I'm lost without it" about Garmin - gps

shanajayes — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:28:48 GMT

We have a Garmin GPS installed in one of the cars for our household, so if I expect to go somewhere unfamiliar or confusing, I take that car! I used to question its information and get more lost-I have learned my lesson! If it needs to be updated for factual information, they are willing see it through on getting it changed-I really appreciate that. I've been impressed with the accuracy of the details of exactly where I am-even the smallest and most remote alleys! I've been in so many situations now where its been SO much more convenient than having to Mapquest it. I don't want to bother people for directions anyway, when so many of them, especially strangers, will just get me more lost and confused. It doesn't take me on strange roundabout routes either, like many websites have. I don't like to listen to a computer talk, so I keep it on the mute setting and read the screen whenever I can.

suckithoe says "Death Magnetic was AMAZING! " about Metallica - Death Magnetic

suckithoe — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:15:22 GMT

This album reminds me of Metallica's earlier work on the ...And justice for all album. James has written some very good songs and composed a very a good instrumental in this album. I am a huge Metallica fan and this album gives very good credit to Lars, James, Kirk, and Trujillo. If your a fan of Metallica then Death Magnetic is must. This album includes 10 new songs. The first song, "That was just your life," is, in true Metallica fashion, an explosion of hardcore greatness. The second song, "The end of the line," is just too good to not be listened to again and again. The third song, "Broken, beat, and scarred," is one of my favorites of off this album. The fourth song, "The day that never comes," is just absolute phenomenal. It was the first single of the album and is my favorite song. The fifth song, "All nightmare long," was my second favorite song of the album. The next five songs, "Cyanide," "The Unfogiven III," "The judas kiss," Suicide and redemption," and...

shanajayes says "Love Noxzema, hate my blemishes" about Noxzema Triple-Clean Anti-Blemish Pads

shanajayes — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:12:30 GMT

I am very lucky that I don't deal with acne, but I have "everlasting" blemishes around my nose and mouth from food, oils from my hair, and touching my face with my hands. I have always loved Noxzema-I've used various Noxzema products my whole life, so I was grateful a few years ago to get my hands on their anti-blemish pads, to help me with this ongoing problem. If I use the pads right after I eat, I ward off a lot of blemishes before they start, and I use them before bedtime, before I apply night cream, to help ensure that blemishes don't form when I am sleeping. When I see one in the morning, its because I've forgotten to use my Noxzema. I can feel it working, literally drying up the oils on my skin that will cause those infernal blemishes! Its a fresh, clean feeling. If I have a pimple forming, these pads will also accelerate my skin's natural ability to speed up the healing process and clear it off my face.

shanajayes says "The Conditioner has changed little, and I'm glad." about Paul Mitchell The Conditioner

shanajayes — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:59:55 GMT

The Conditioner is what I like and trust-it has not changed for the fifteen years I have used it (unless Paul Mitchell has done some tweeking to increase quality). I love its unique, clean scent too. My hair used to be quite long, and it was a fabulous detangler for my baby-fine locks. In recent years I have had a short cut, and it has been so convenient just stepping out of the shower, towel-drying, and running a dime-sized dab through my hair, and then I am on my way. The Conditioner also mixes very well with styling foams or volumizing tonics I often use before I blow dry. I usually put The Conditioner and whatever else I am going to use on my palm together, and rub it right into my hair. It has always worked, and I'm sure it always will. It is a little expensive, but I buy big bottles that last me more than a year, and I have nothing to complain about-it has stood the test of time.

culbertsonline says "The Missing Symbol is Dan Brown's best since Deception Point!" about The Missing Symbol

culbertsonline — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:58:38 GMT

Following Brain surgery, my dearest friend gave me this book. After a month of recuperating, I picked up this facinating tale and started programming my eyes to read again. I soon realized, "Hey, I can read!" Dan Brown must have researched for years to be able to tie together our government, Masons, Eastern Star, the CIA, and so much more. It sure got me asking questions and getting no answers. I loved this book as did my sonand 20 year old grandson. I may have asked questions, but he says he'll get the answers!

jesx0xash says "The chocolate phone is nice 'at first'" about LG - Chocolate VX8500 Cell Phone

jesx0xash — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:56:28 GMT

I loved this phone when I first recieved it. It was great! I loved all the great functions and it was so cute! BUT it wasn't long until the screen easily got scratched just from me lightly setting it down. It didn't need much to have the screen messed up. And sometimes if you get a call and you accidentally slide the phone up to quickly then your phone might turn off at times. Or maybe you slide it down to quickly and it shuts off. I didn't have these problems at first, but it wasn't long befor they started. Don't get me wrong. I still like my phone. I just wish these problems weren't occurring from time to time. The phone shutting off from opening or closing it is re occuring but not at an extreme. It only happens every now and then. If you're gentle with your phone then this is a phone for you, but if you're like me and you're not SUPER careful with it then maybe you should think again befor buying it.

shanajayes says "Keraphix will SAVE your hair" about Nexxus Keraphix Restorative Protein Creme Reconstructor

shanajayes — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:46:02 GMT

When I was a teenager, I made some really stupid mistakes coloring or bleaching my hair, which is baby-fine and breaks very easily. Keraphix was given to me by my trusted stylist, and I quickly saw it as a savior for damaged hair. It's been twenty years, and it is still what I use and recommend to everyone I know for deep conditioning or hair repair. I used it consistently when I was living overseas-in a place where I had very poor quality water to wash with-the pollutants were taking a serious toll on my hair. Keraphix has an original, unique smell that hasn't changed over the years that I have come to associate with rejuvenated hair. In one use, it completely changes your hair. If I use it even once a month, it makes a notable difference. I use my favorite leave-in-conditioner for every day, but when I need some serious conditioning with guaranteed results, I reach for the Keraphix. Its worth the price, and last a very long time.
