amflick says "Keep up with the news in the African-American community" about Jet

amflick — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:23:56 GMT

Have been reading this magazine for more than 40 years every week. It is a quick way to keep up with what is happening in the African-American community nation wide. Not too expensive either if you get a subscription.

amflick says "Don't buy these." about Toshiba Satellite Laptop

amflick — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 14:18:35 GMT

I bought 2 of these in 2005, two different models, one for my daughter and one for myself. Both computers died within weeks of the warrently expiring. The motherboards just quit. Toshiba offered us a $35 gift certificate toward another of their computers. I will never purchase their computers again.

I'm a pretty savy user. Have 40 years of computer experience. Luckily I did not have anything stored on there that I really needed as anything on it was not accessible after the crashes. I have never had a computer crash or die like this in my entire career.

We now have used Dells that we have used for 3 years and they both are still going strong.

I bought these on the recommendation of a work friend who was very a PC expert. I gave him the business when over $3500 went down the drain in a little over a year. I thought my daughter had done something to the PC until mine just up and died too. Mine had little use as I had a desk top at work I used most of the time and...

amflick says "Still work better then regular bottles" about Playtex Drop-Ins Premium Nurser Baby Bottle

My daughter is now using these for her new baby. I used them for her 22 years ago. I found these so easy to use and so does she. No bottles to wash, reallly as the liners are disposable. Just wash the nipples and rinse off the outsides of the bottle itself. Saved me many hours as a working mother. The next best thing for babies after disposable diapers. Helps keep the gas down for the baby, too.

Buy a little basket for the diswasher for the nipples and you are in business.

amflick says "This is a great car. " about Buick Century - 2003

amflick — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 13:52:59 GMT

This is a great car. I have had 3 Centurys during my adult life. All three were good cars. I drive them until they are well over 200,000 miles. The last one a 1995 I drove until I had an accident with it and could not drive it away. The 2003 I have now was it's replacement.

This is a good practical car. Decent styling. I like a bench seat and the front seats, even though they are buckets seats, are close to the old bench seats. Lots of trunk room. Exellent radio, cassette, and Cd player in it. Love the steering column that tilts to get out. Good for overwieght folks. I can take 4 adults along for the ride easily.

The backset doors are handy for taking along my granddaughter in her car seat.

amflick says "Great for killing 2 birds with one stone!!" about Hamilton Beach Toaster - Toastation

amflick — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 19:52:10 GMT

I bought this when I moved and threw out both my old toaster oven and toaster. It's great for one person. You can use it for both a toaster and an oven. It is a bit small for an oven, but I have figured out how to work around this small problem. Cleaning crumbs is so easy since the oven tray area becomes the crumb tray. Just take it out and knock the crumbs out either right into the trash can or the sink....

amflick says "Family Package is Prejudice agains Afro-Americans" about DIRECTV

amflick — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 18:46:44 GMT

I have the family package. Apparently Hispanics have families (3 networks for them), but Afro-Americans do not (no networks for them). I have all kinds of networks I could do without, but I sure would like one that caters to Afro-Americans. I realize BET is too risque, but how about the newer TV ONE that is showing the old Afro-American shows? You can have all the sports, hispanic, and sales networks. Give me TV ONE. Otherwise the service has been great. I would never be with out a TIVO type devise again. I just need some way to download what I have copied on it when I run out of space....

amflick says "Fast quick and polite service" about Budget Rental Car

amflick — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 20:50:17 GMT

I have been renting from Budget for serveral years. The only time I will use a different company is if Budget does not have any cars where I am going. I have had excellant service in several places: Los Angeles, Albequerque, Dulles (DC), Orlando, Charlotte, Columbus, OH and more. I am a Fastbreak member and usually rent through Southwest. I get great prices and am always treated like a queen. Someplaces I as in Charlotte I am take to an area and told to pick whichever car I want. In other places I get extremely fast and courteous service. I would recommend Budget every time. Only once have I been charged for gas when I had already filled up and when I emailed a copy of my credit card statement and you could see a gas purchase on the same day as I returned the car Budget took it right off of my credit card with an apology....
