ViewFromParadise says "Those cute Keebler Elves have made NEW SHORTBREAD COOKIES" about Keebler - Keebler Sandies Fudge Drops

ViewFromParadise — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 21:49:31 GMT

WOW !! those cute little KEEBLER ELVES have been busy coming up with many new
recipies for their famous Shortbread cookies. These are not what I would call a low calorie dieters snack but for indulging in a "Special Treat".
Each cookie is about the size of a half dollar...with FUDGE DROPS in the center. NO- not the typical sandwich style like two cookies with fudge in the middle. So you can eat a few more of them even if you are on a diet. Make them healthier by adding your favorite nuts . You can add whatever you like, a beautiful strawberry-get creative with these. They will look fantastic on a party tray ! I have even put them in the microwave for just a few seconds-YUM ! warm, melted fudge centers.
No, I'm not on any special diet and I have lost 37 lbs recently so I thought I deserved
a special, delicious, occasional treat.
Ha Ha no worry about over indulging -I offered a couple to my neighbor, after his first
taste he TOOK THE ENTIRE PACKAGE and told me he would repay me for them....

ViewFromParadise says "BEWARE OF WALMART PHARMACY $4.00 PRESCRIPTIONS" about WALMART PHARMACY $4 Prescriptions

ViewFromParadise — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 21:12:44 GMT

We all have heard the old saying " IF IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE".....
Walmart Pharmacy fits this saying perfectly. Due to many reasons I was shopping for
less expensive drug stores. I made phone calls, compared on the internet and of course Walmart $4 Prescription Drug offer was lower than any other Drug Store.... so I called my local Walmart Pharmacy and visited their website to view their list of eligible drugs.
None of my name brand medications were on the $4.00 list nor were there any of my prescribed generics. So I inquired about refill cost anyway, thinking surely they will cost
less after seeing the Walmart Pharmacy TV Commercials so many dang times recently.
GUESS WHAT! they are higher than CVS or any other place I had compared them to !!
Just another rip off from Walmart- a bait & switch * if you ask me it is false advertising.
YES, there are probably REAL PEOPLE like those shown in Walmart ommercials that do save money with the $4 deals but I have yet to find anyone ? There...

ViewFromParadise says "CREST ADVANCED WHITE STRIPS-NOT FOR BIG SMILES !" about Crest Advanced Seal Tooth Whitening Strips

ViewFromParadise — Fri, 15 May 2009 13:34:54 GMT

CREST WHITE STRIPS ADVANCED SEAL has really disappointed me. Actually I love the brand Crest and use their many varities of toothpaste and many other Proctor & Gamble trusted products with great satisfaction and results. My recent purchase of the ADVANCED WHITE STRIPS are not as "advanced" as I expected. They only cover your teeth in your SMILE AREA.-a tiny smile at that. They do not cover your entire tooth area, as well as other Crest Whitening products.. They are very small for my BIG SMILE, with a VERY BIG PRICE. They feel like I just placed regular old clear package tape on my teeth. I tried them for 3 days, as they guarantee you see a difference in three days. There was a slight improvement but I was not pleased with the size of them or their taste. I'm sure there are some of you that prefer no flavor or breath freshener added but I would prefer they had a fresh minty taste like their toothpaste and rinses. Normally I do not have what they call sensitive teeth but after three days...

ViewFromParadise says " FREE GRILLED CHICKEN from the famous KFC" about KFC Kentucky Grilled Chicken

ViewFromParadise — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 22:24:49 GMT

WOW ! Kentucky Fried Chicken has new GRILLED CHICKEN !
I am truly amazed and delighted that Kentucky Fried chicken has new menu items.
Most chains and fast food places offer healthier choices these days and FINALLY KFC
has jumped on that band wagon. It is great that fast food is becoming more nutritional
and concerned for the health and eating habits of their customers.
KFC has several different promotional offers all over the USA so don't miss your chance for a free sample leg or thigh.
I was not aware of the free sample offer- that did not get me to the store.
I was driving nearby I smelled that wonderful grilled aroma. Yummmmmm
I knew it smelled different than BK grilled burgers (next door) then I recalled
seeing a TV Ad introducing KFC's new menu.
To be honest I was not paying much attention to the TV Ad and missed the details.
By process of elimination and following the aroma it took me to KFC. ha ha
I tried a free sample- grilled leg and immediately ordered a bucket to bring home....

ViewFromParadise says "FLORIDAS NATURAL ORANGE JUICE" about Florida's Natural Orange Juice with Calcium &Vitamin D

ViewFromParadise — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 16:31:22 GMT

Floridas Natural Orange juice is the next best thing to picking your own oranges.
NO ! I'm not biased because I live in Florida and have my own Orange trees.
When my trees are out of season I buy Floridas Natural. It is the only Orange Juice
that I will purchase because of the TASTE. Most juices are made from a concentrate and sometimes has a bitter or strong taste. Floridas Natural brand Juice tastes just like the fresh oranges I pick and squeeze to make at home.
Some folks have a problem with the word NATURAL (even the FDA) but this product
is as pure and natural that you can get without growing your own.
If you are one of the rare people that do not like Orange Juice perhaps it is because
you have never tasted REAL-NATURAL-ORANGE JUICE.
Give it a taste test. It is a bit more expensive that other orange juices but the BEST of
any product usually does cost more.

ViewFromParadise says "POISION IVY GONE WITH RESINOL" about Resinol Medicated Ointment Jar 3.5 oz

ViewFromParadise — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:37:36 GMT

POISION IVY can sneak up on even experienced gardners, campers and those of us
that have had it many times. THREE DAYS after doing some spring cleaning on my landscape I noticed some itchy, watery blisters on my right hand. At first I thought it was caused by Ant stings or some other insect bites. Most times it can take three days for the "Breakout". Soon after I noticed the same on my FACE !
That is why I call it "sneaky". I knew right then what it was and where I must have touched it three days prior. It can spread rapidly all over the body so I took immediate action and went to my drugstore searching for remedies. I did not want to be itchy and covered with rash for 10 days or more.
The Pharmacist recommended RESINOL that he keeps behind the counter.
It is fantastic ! It is very affordable. RESINOL stops the itch immediately and dries up the watery blisters that spread it.
It is a thick pink salve, a bit sticky and messy, but who cares when it gets the job done without a trip to...

ViewFromParadise says "WOLFGANG PUCK -BEST LOOKING & COOKING STAINLESS STEAL" about Wolfgang Puck Cookware Products

ViewFromParadise — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 19:08:04 GMT

Wolfgang Puck has the best looking and cooking Stainless Steel cookware.
My 82 yr. old Mother has a set she has been using for years and finally I will be purchasing a set for myself as a birthday gift.
They have glass tops-no need to open the lid and let the vitamins and nutrients escape.
The glass tops are scratch and shatter proof.
They have safe handles that do not burn your hands with or without a potholder.
The particular set I'm ordering is like Moms with a mirror finish beautiful enough to serve
right from the table. That saves me time and less dishes to wash.
NOTHING STICKS-even without the non-stick coating. (I do not use not stick cookware)
These pots, pans and serving utensils are so well crafted they will outlast me and they have a lifetime warranty. They come clean easily when washed by hand or in the dishwasher. I just love that beautiful mirror finish that looks like polished Silver.
When you can find them on sale in a set or buy one pan at a time they all match well.

ViewFromParadise says "Purity Triple Greens or Perfect Multi Greens" about Purity Products, Triple Greens, 410.4 G (14.48 Oz)

ViewFromParadise — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 18:41:12 GMT

I have not used the Tripple Greens but chose Purity Perfect Multi Greens and think I have found an even better Purity Product.

If you are one of us humans that do not eat enough Green Veggies or the recommended
daily allowance of nutrients you should try PURITY PERFECT GREENS.
It contains Pharmaceutical Grade ingredients-but cost much less than other comparable
supplements.

I have always been hesitant and hardheaded about ingesting multi-vitamins, thinking I eat healthy and did not need them.

Just after a recent yearly physical including bloodwork I was told I should begin taking supplements.
After two weeks I already feel more energy and have brighter eyes and clear thinking.
There is no way a person can consume the recommended SEVEN SERVINGS of dark green veggies per day without this supplement. There are too many Vitamins and
Minerals to list here-it also contains berries, fruits and other veggies.

PURITY PRODUCTS are fantastic, affordable and easy to order on the internet.
Always...

ViewFromParadise says "Countrywide is now named COUNTRYFRIED" about Countrywide Home Loan Company

ViewFromParadise — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 16:52:12 GMT

People beware. Countrywide has been under investigation for over three years.
Even though they are now owned by Bank of America things have not improved
or changed. Even though they have been sued by 10-15 States they are playing
the same tricks. Yes, they are trying to stay away from Sub-prime exotic mortgages
but whether you are a new applicant or a current mortgage holder with them they
still have horrific accounting policies and inaccuracies that cause migraines.
They will ask you to fax them-they lose all your documents. Customer Service is
absolutely obnoxious and practically non existant.

Their Mortgage Servicers are actually COLLECTION Agencies.
They are continuing to ignor the new FED RULES
and individual States directives of the Class Action Suits.
They wasted the bailout dollars from T A R P funds and are not assisting
their current qualified Mortgage holders.

FIND ANOTHER LENDER DO NOT USE COUNTRYFRIED.

ViewFromParadise says "Spectricide is Poision" about Spectracide Fire Ant Killer Pesticide

ViewFromParadise — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 16:22:28 GMT

I tried Spectricide-and a few other expensive Ant killers.
After reading the instructions and ingredients and the methods of application
I stopped using poisions and harmful polluting chemicals.
I live near a river on a canal where there is abundant wildlife.
Being an environmentalist and conservationist I have vowed to return to other
means of treating fire ant mounds.
Just plain old VINEGAR ! It works ! you can use it full strength or dilute it.
Just be aware that it can kill plants. I use it to kill poision Ivy.
I also use vinegar to get those pesky returning weeds in the concrete sidewalks
and driveway.
Try it-it cost less and is not harmful or polluting to the environment.

ViewFromParadise says "Amazon Is a Shoppers Heaven-Watch the shipping charges" about Amazon.com

ViewFromParadise — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 16:07:16 GMT

AMAZON.COM is a comparison shoppers heaven ! For comparision shoppers and hard to find products. I shop here very often for all kinds of items and thousnands of stores.
Amazon search engine will fetch the individual item you need or find a particular store
front for you to shop.
Just beware of the S&H charges. My most recent order required a phone call to change the order, they have excellent Customer Service. I was searching for pet/aquarium supplies.
I found every item I wanted but it was from three different stores ! Three shippiing and
handling charges-one of the items was only $3.00 and the s&h cost more than the item.
Customer service removed it from my order and said they are trying to improve this
situation so customers are not overcharged on s&h.
Another shopping trip there took me to Bealls Department Store.
I had a customer code for free shipping from Bealls.
Amazon would not accept the code and I had to pay $.7.95 for s&h
So when you shop there -before you click submit order check the...

ViewFromParadise says "Best of All Digitals In Price Range" about Nikon - COOLPIX L12 digital camera

ViewFromParadise — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 16:09:09 GMT

Love my Nikon L12-comparing it to a few Kodak cameras I have owned in this same
price range it is much better !
People have commented that it eats Batteries-mine does not.
It can get more than 150 Pix on one charge
You can use just plain ol AA batteries but they do not last as long.
For Best battery life use a quality Digital Camera Battery-check the battery Exp. date.
I purchased this camera and batteries over a year ago on sale at Circuit CIty.
I'm stilll recharging and using the same batteries-SO IT PAYS YOU in the long run to
invest a bit more, get Digitial Camera Batteries and a charger.
You will SAVE MONEY and have less battteries to harm the environment,

ViewFromParadise says "ATT- BEWARE PHONE SERVICES and BILLING " about AT&T

ViewFromParadise — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 16:14:03 GMT

Folks please beware if you are an ATT customer-formerly Cingular.
I sure wish cingular would not have sold me out to ATT.
If you read this and have a recommendation for a good phone company please tell me
your point of view !
Yesterday I received a "courtesy call" from ATT telling me both of my phones were
being turned off immediately ! they said I owed two months on my cell & home phones.
I also have my 82 yr. old Mother on the Family Cell Plan.
ATT Courtesy caller was rude, did not even verify my account info when I told the lady she
was making a mistake-she got irate at me !
After I realized I was in a shouting match with her I demanded a Supervisor that could
give me a Fax number to show proof of payment. After being on hold for 15 min. and transferred several times-each time another 10 minute hold
FINALLY a Supervisor that was professional and very apologetic telling me I had been a customer since 1996 (actually 1989-their records don't go back that far) without changing my number...

ViewFromParadise says "I Was Wrong about MyPOINTS" about MyPoints

ViewFromParadise — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 17:55:44 GMT

One of the very first reviews I ever wrote here on Viewpoints was to tell everyone how wonderful I thought MyPoints Shopping site is. I have been a member for many years.
Well, unfortunately I now have negative Point of View.
Since I wrote that review a few weeks ago things have changed.
Very recently, as I redeemed points; saved all year for Christmas Gift Cards,
I started with a balance of over 18,000 pts.
To make this short I only received two gift cards that did arrive sooner than expected
but I will probably never see the others I honestly qualified for.

Now they say I only have a balance just over 1000 pts. left in my account. WRONG.
At their site they have a statement for each transaction just like a bank statement with an easy click to customer service for a particular transaction inquiry and on a particular date.
It does show points earned but not a "running" Daily, Weekly or Monthly balance or balance before or after redeeming...

ViewFromParadise says "Walmart Concerned Shopper" about Walmart.com

ViewFromParadise — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 17:06:39 GMT

BEWARE-WALMART IS THE WORLDS LARGEST DEALER OF LEAD TOYS
It is so sad that such a huge retailer, located in every town of the USA;
that we all love and trust is such a huge supporter of a Communist Country.
When you shop at Walmart you may as well be in China.
Walmart owns their own shipyard in China.
Check out their holdings in China

Walmart uses manufacturers in China-for all kinds of products other than lead toys.
Walmart has been cited for using China Child Labor and filthy conditions.
Walmart refuses to spend some of their billions on extra Security at their shipyards
to search containers for possible Terrorists or Contraband on board.

I used to love to shop at Walmart but I no longer want to help support Communist China
or a company that destroys small business communities while all along using that cute
yellow Smiley face to deceive us. Somehow on very little income I have found other
places to shop-so give it a try
Most of Walmart employees are severely mistreated-underpaid and very unhappy....

ViewFromParadise says "PUR WATER FILTERS ARE THE BEST" about PUR Faucet Water Filters

ViewFromParadise — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 16:47:35 GMT

Pur Water Filters are the best and most economical.
There are many choices and styles of water filters out there and it can be confusing without really reading the fine print. Most of them only filter for TASTE.
Pur brand filters out Lead, even gasoline and types of Bacteria that I cannot spell or pronounce. I have used the faucet style for many years. Pur brand does cost a bit more than most others but are well worth it, durable and one cartridge makes approximately 300 gallons of SAFE wonderful tasting water.
My 80 yr. old Mother cannot live without her Pur Pitcher designed for the refrigerator. The pitcher has a spout so she dosen't have to lift it to get water.
Pur also sells a Counter top, and under the sink style.
Very easy to install and so easy to change the filter cartridges.
Pur also makes other styles-even Sears and Delta Faucet company use Pur for
their Refrigerators Ice Makers and Water Dispensers.
I even use this water in my aquariums.
I have tried others and know Pur is safer...

ViewFromParadise says "MOIST HEAT PAD Battle Creek better than Prescription Pain Meds" about Battle Creek Thermophore Heat Pak

ViewFromParadise — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 00:30:10 GMT

Hello to everyone that may have any type of Muscle, Joint or Bone pain.
I can tell you without any doubt this is the best and most durable heat pack you
will ever see on the market.
I had polio during the 1954 epidemic and continue to have muscle spasms and joint pain even more so now that I have Arthritis.
MOIST HEAT is the best type of heating packs and Battle Creek is the only pad I know of that delivers instant moist heat without the danger of the little water tank or using wet towels.
During a Hospital stay at President Roosevelt's "Little White House" in Warm Springs,
Georgia a nurse told me the story of Roosevelt's Private Nurse using moist heat,
having to use steaming hot wet towels to give the President Pain relief without
drugs.. Other than warm water therapy pools it was the only pain relief for the president. Physical Therapist use them too.
As for me I tried all sorts of physician prescribed pain medications., massage and whirlpool treatments.

ViewFromParadise says "Cadbury Fruit & Nut Bar-Delicious Favorite Indulgence" about Cadbury Fruit and Nut Chocolate Bar

ViewFromParadise — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 17:04:22 GMT

Oh My, I was searching for Christmas Candies, Nuts & Fruit, GIft Baskets and found this
review on View Points-wow a Cadbury Fruit & Nut Review page !

This has to be one of the best tasting Chocolate lovers candy bars around.
At least some of the guilt of true indulgence is eased because of the very healthy Ingredients-fruits and nuts
The Chocolate is very smooth & creamy. They are very large bars but are sectioned for having a few bites or sharing with others or stashing away for a later treat.
This candy tastes like it came from a gourmet shop or bakery.
Luckily my local grocer sells them and I always grab one in the Grocery check out line.
There are no other candy bars of this type that I know of that can compare.
Ha, the Cadbury never fails to find me, even in the Grocery checkout line,
I can be Between two racks of various candies and treats and pass up everyone
except the Cadbury.
I sure hope I can find them on the web all packaged and dressed up for Christmas
gifts or included in Food...

ViewFromParadise says "LOVE THOSE GEORGE FOREMAN GRILLS" about George Foreman Indoor Grill - GR10AWHT

ViewFromParadise — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 22:17:00 GMT

Way to Go George Foreman,

I came to VIEWPOINTS.COM to read about George Grills.

George has several types and sizes of Indoor and Outdoor Grills.

I owned and cooked on one for 5 years, got another one and looking to purchase a 3rd.

Yes, the older models were a bit awkward to clean but what Pot or Pan is fun or easy to clean ? It has a non-stick surface so be gentle. Unless you BURN your food or smother
the food with cheese almost everything wipes clean with a cloth, sponge or disinfectant wipe.

Over the years George has made many improvements and changes such as the bun warmer lid-removeable grill surface for those of us that thought the earlier manufactured grills were awkward to handle and wash. Even added an indicator light on some models to show thengrill was ON or HOT. There are single sizes, family size and even an INDOOR/OUTDOOR grill with a tall stand. Anyone know of a good sale so I can get a fair price-every store I have shopped has different prices on the same item.
Enjoy, healthy, fatfree,...
