VictoriaNyy says "Swiffer Wet Jet swiffs my pet hair away" about Swiffer WetJet®

VictoriaNyy — Wed, 13 May 2009 00:36:46 GMT

Swiffer® WetJet®

What it is: It a totaly fabulous cleaning floor cleaner!

WhyI love it:

Because I have three different types of floor in my home. Hardwood, Ceramic Tile, and a small amount of Laminate floor. I can use the Swiffer Wet Jet on all of them!
Two Cats and One Dog (all three shed a ton) A plain broom just doesn't cut it. Makes the fur just fly around. The Swiffer Wet Jet traps it in!
No need for a nasty dust pan
Quick! I'm a busy mommy of a two year old, and have another full time job outside of the home. The faster I can get my cleaning done the better!
Easy set up! Again, I am busy, don't have time to put things together, it just snaps together, and it is ready to go!
Cost, I'm cheap! Under $20.00 and I had a $5.00 off coupon! Yay!
Has a niftly little scubber on the side for the tough messes, you just take your foot or use the floor to flip the mop part on it's side and scrub! Easy and it works!
The multi-surface is an antibacterial solution that kills 99.9%...

VictoriaNyy says "Creative Suite 4 is just ok for me" about Adobe Creative Suite 4

VictoriaNyy — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 21:38:34 GMT

"Adobe CS4 Is Just OK For Me"

Applications in the Adobe CS4 are great for editing images, desktop applications, animations. and print layouts, and support the latest digital formats. I have yet to try with the website editing, so I can't say much about that, I'm sure it would take way to long for me to learn anyway.

Way to costly! Unless you are a professional, I recommend you stay away. Way to time consuming to load the software. The time it takes just to learn this complicated software is CRAZY!

VictoriaNyy says "I don't feel guilty giving my two year old Country Crock!" about Shedd's Spread Country Crock plus Calcium & Vitamins

VictoriaNyy — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:25:18 GMT

Any mom of a two year old knows just what a picky eater they can be! A gourmet meal to my daughter would be a tub of butter a spoon with a side of mac and cheese! If I let her she would eat butter for every meal! Makes me sick to even think about eating plain butter! Of course she can't eat just butter for a meal or for even a snack.

I was so excited when I was shopping and found the new Country Crock lines of butter with Calcium and Omega 3!! Whoo Hoo! OK, so I still can't give my daughter the tub of butter and a spoon and plop her in front of the T.V. But I can put it on her toast or veggies and not feel guilty when I smother it on! At least I know she is getting more of the things she needs in her little body.

No trans fat and no Cholesterol!

VictoriaNyy says "Awesome creative artist" about Stacy Ink - topeka, KS

VictoriaNyy — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 17:02:09 GMT

I had the fortunate opportunity to use Stacy Ink for both some business cards and some graphic designing for my business. Stacy, the proprietor, came up with some really neat ideas for both and really, after hearing her ideas I was too embarrassed to mention mine. Hers were just so much better! My business cards turned out excellent, conveying a warmth and exuberance I didn't even know I had! Needless to say i am glad she was there for me. I also had some graphical designing done for a project at my business. Once again she turned my idea into a grand one indeed and the goal for the project was exceeded. Her tips helped me to triple what I had done last year with this project. The number 1 thing people kept commenting on was how the sign and banner drew them in. I believe it as they were very bright, inviting, and just outstanding looking! If you have any need for this kind of service then look no further, call Stacy Ink!...

VictoriaNyy says "Professional photography with knowledgeable, courteous service" about Melissa Kasprzyk - Centerpiece Photography - Topeka, KS

VictoriaNyy — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 16:34:22 GMT

I have had the occasion to use Centerpiece Photography several times. I did both a private sitting and had my children's class pictures done with Melissa. I couldn't be happier with both. During the private sitting we were treated very professionally, but also very warmly. Some people have that ability to instantly put you at ease and still get the job done as expected. She was very patient as my kids were pretty hard to tame that day but it didn't seem to phase her. She got through it with her smile still intact and the pictures turned out beautiful! We also were fortunate to have her as our school photographer. Umm, excuse me, but WHY is her way not THE industry standard? What she does is take the pictures, at school, but then that is the last the school has to deal with her. You simply go online, view your pictures, request any post-production work, and order how many and of what size. All over the internet. Why schools aren't all doing it this way i dont know but as simple, painless,......

VictoriaNyy says "R J "Chip" Munk has surpassed my expectations!" about State Farm

VictoriaNyy — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 16:18:08 GMT

After shopping around for a good policy several years ago I eventually ended up in Chip's office. Now, I, at this point, had been through it with several insurance companies, so my expectations were not high. However, from the beginning, Chip's engaging personality and high degree of knowledge really put me at ease. At no point then or since did I ever feel like I was getting a sales pitch. We talked about what was important to me and how best to prepare for the future, both mine and my children's. At times, he would make recommendations that I know would mean less commission for him, but as he explained, it made more sense for me to do it that way. I can't think him enough for helping me find exactly what I was looking for, even though I didnt know what that was when I first came to him. For once in this industry i felt like he cared. He really made the impression on me that ultimately if I was sold a policy that wouldnt "work" for me then everyone loses. I wouldn't have what I needed......

VictoriaNyy says "Sue at Dynamic saved the day yet again!" about Dynamic Computer Solutions of Topeka,Inc. - Topeka, KS

VictoriaNyy — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 16:06:14 GMT

After several negative encounters with several of the high priced tech service providers in Topeka I ran into Sue Buckley and Dynamic Computer Solutions. What a breath of fresh air! She came to my business, diagnosed my problem rather quickly, worked with me to correct the problem, and helped me understand how to avoid that particular issue in the future. She showed up on time, maybe even a bit early, was both extremely professional yet very down to earth. Knowing my computer skills were not my forte, she helped me to understand some basic things about how a server functions, and how my network interacts with it. She is one of those highly intelligent people who has that ability to explain very complex issues to people and get them to understand what is going on with their tech! I would like to say that I have used her alot since but my system, once notorious for crashing, has not had a single problem since. The reason is that Sue taught me what I could do, and NOT do to keep it from crashing......

VictoriaNyy says "Punctual, professional service. Best in the biz!" about Pat Grogan - Pat The Plumber - Topeka, KS

VictoriaNyy — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 15:51:54 GMT

Having experienced Pat The Plumber's service firsthand several times I can tell you that they will always be my first choice. They have consistently showed that they are extremely knowledgeable, conscious of their surroundings(they wear the little booties) and generally are an agreeable bunch. Roger was my serviceman and wasvery courteous and polite, called me like ten minutes before they were due to tell me they were parked down the street waiting for me to give them the okay. After completing the necessary repairs I was not subjected to an extended commercial on their other services, they simply completed the job, had me verify the work, cleaned up, and left. They even checked in with me several days later to ensure I had no further questions or concerns. It has been awhile since a professional service like this has exceeded my expectations but Pat The Plumber did it then and again on several occasions. So, for your plumbing needs, including, but not limited to, sump pump work,water......

VictoriaNyy says "Gotta get me some loot! Titan Quest has that and then some!" about Titan Quest for Windows

VictoriaNyy — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 22:04:59 GMT

If you like Diablo 1 & 2 then Titan Quest will seem instantly familiar. Level up your customizable character and forge your way through ancient Greece fighting mythological beasts along the way, culminating with a journey into Hades to challenge the god of the underworld himself(Hades is via expansion pack). Kill beasts, get stuff, kill more beasts, get bigger and better stuff, rinse and repeat. For fans of the genre this will become addictive! I recommend also picking up the aforementioned expansion pack, Immortal Throne. Two new character classes, new missions, new monsters, whats not to love? So if your prepared to spend a few months playing this game then you wont be disappointed. The graphical/processing requirements were somewhat of an issue a few years ago when Titan Quest first released but seriously, if your rig cant play this by now then stop looking for games and go upgrade your system!...

VictoriaNyy says "No twisting, popping, or cracking! Smart chiropractic!" about Arlan W. Fuhr - The Activator Method

VictoriaNyy — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 21:58:09 GMT

Activator methods, both the book and the application of the technique are the second most utilized of all chiropractic techniques, of which there are hundreds. In Activator Methods, your body "tells" the doc when to adjust, where to adjust, and possibly most importantly, where NOT to adjust. Using leg length analysis the Activator Methods chiropractor will ask you to do certain basic movements while laying prone on the table. Movements such as "tip your head down", or, "right arm on low back" or, "left arm above your head". What these do is enable the doc to determine if there is a problem with certain areas. For instance, "tip your head down" is a test for a vertebrae high in your neck. If your leg(one that was shorter than the other one upon initial observation) gets shorter, then that is your body telling the doc to adjust there. The tool itself administers a very quick, low force thrust that can easily be used on infants only hours old, osteoporotic 90 year old grandmas, and the biggest......

VictoriaNyy says "When and if it works it is a decent system" about Xbox - 360 Console

VictoriaNyy — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 21:19:24 GMT

The xbox 360 has the potential to be a gamers drem. Great graphics, sustained on-line community, plenty of exclusive downloadable content(extra add-on features for a game available only for specific consoles) and some great first party support. Having said that I would still overall say stay away until further notice. The reason? Well they are buggier than Mississippi in July. I am currently on my 3rd one. The first one had a manufacturers defect, it was repaired for free, BUT I had to accept a rebuilt one. This is unfair b/c mine had a defect from the moment it came off the line and I paid for a new one and ended up with a rebuilt one. That one broke and Microsoft wouldnt touch it since it was a "rebuild". That they rebuilt...Still trying to figure that one out. So, like a fool I bought another one about 6months ago from a Gamespot store. This one worked for about 2 weeks and then that one died. Xbox accepted my 100 dollars they said would fix it but then 2 months later I get it back and......

VictoriaNyy says "Say Cheese! Photo creations are a Snap with Snapfish!" about Snapfish

VictoriaNyy — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:53:18 GMT

Snapfish

I was so happy to have found Snapfish! I order about 50% of my photo prints from them on-line. The other % from other on-line photo print stores. (for a later review) Snapfish uploading times are pretty quick. Of course depending on your Internet connection speed. They have a lot of different fun photo creating ideas and products. You can make photo colleges, prints with fun borders, Posters, Coffee Mugs. You name it they probably have it! It's way affordable too! What I love the most is all the incredible coupon discounts they offer! Sign up and they send them to your e-mail. You also get so many free prints when you first sign up. Refer friends or family members you get even more free prints! Even if you don't refer, the prints are so cheap anyway. The quality is of their products are fabulous too. Shipping cost is low, and pretty quick. You also have the option of picking up your prints at a local store. I once lost all of my photos when my computer crashed, I am...

VictoriaNyy says "Ghost Town So flipping funny FIVE STARS!" about Ghost Town

VictoriaNyy — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 02:10:16 GMT

OMG, Ricky Gervais is absolutely hysterical in Ghost Town! How anyone with a sense of humor could not rate this movie with five stars baffles me! Of course I do have a dry twisted sense of humor that most don't understand! Ghost Town is a must watch movie for anyone needing a good pee my pants laugh! I have watched this movie way over a dozen times now, each time I catch a little bit more. It's not a movie that will make you think or you need a tissue box close by. Just a funny movie to laugh a bit and destress. What are you waiting for? Go get the movie!...

VictoriaNyy says "Easy for the not so crafty mom with Kenmore Sewing Machine!" about Kenmore Sewing Machine - 15358

VictoriaNyy — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 02:02:46 GMT

After wanting a sewing machine for a long time I finally received one this past Christmas!! I was so excited! I couldn't wait to get to the fabric store! I thought I wouldn't be able to figure the machine out, but sometimes I just amaze myself! After a few hours of stitching and restitching, I got it down. I'm not perfect by any means, but the owners manual is simple to understand and the machine is very simple to operate. The only problem I have had is the thread not wanting to stay put through the needle but I'm sure this is something I am doing wrong. I would recommend this sewing machine to any one that doesn't have much sewing experience.

VictoriaNyy says "BioFreeze........Freeze my sore muscles away!" about BioFreeze 16oz

VictoriaNyy — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 21:53:44 GMT

Biofreeze! Where to start? Love it! Everyone must use it! Great for sore muscles after lifting weigts or running! It's not greasy and the menthol smell goes away pretty quick! The makers of Birofreeze don't market this product to do this but my friends and I have found that it also works great taking the itch away from chigger bites, and put a little under your nose when you are all stuffed up from a cold! Yup I swear by the stuff!!...

VictoriaNyy says "I'm sold on Chiroflow! No more neck pain!" about Mediflow / Chiroflow Orthopedic Water Cervical Pillow with Waterbase

VictoriaNyy — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 20:01:33 GMT

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical of the Chiroflow Water pillow. The first night it was a little awkward. It is much heavier than my old worn pillow. After night three I was sold! My neck pain is completely gone! I used to have so many restless nights, not able to get comfy, tossing and turning looking at the clock. Waking up in the morning with dark circles hardly able to get my peepers open! Then off to work! I can finally get a good night sleep, recuperate and ready in the am to face the day! It's great too, because you can personalize the amount of firmness the pillow has be adding or taking away the water. It's easy to fill and on a side note it's hypoallergenic. I would totally recommend this pillow to anyone with neck or back pain! Way to go to whoever invented this!!

VictoriaNyy says "Upromise may help a little" about Upromise

VictoriaNyy — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 12:34:30 GMT

I found the Upromise website while I was preggers with my daughter who is now 2 1/2. I haven't saved a ton of money with just the "extra money" you get back from buying everyday and not so everyday products. I don't save a lot by using my store savings cards because I usually don't buy name brand items. I stick with store brands for the most part. I think the way to make the most of Upromise is sign up for the 529 plan. Which if you plan to pay for part or all of your child's education you should do that anyway. Why not through Upromise so you can get the extra too? In my opinion, every cent counts!! College isn't cheap!!...
