blfoster says "I won't use any other paint than Behr!" about Behr Interior Satin Paint

I hate to paint -- ANYTHING. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to hire someone to do all my painting. I live in a fairly large home and the walls were painted flat white (with obviously a very cheap paint) by the builder. I wanted some color and, not knowing much about paint, bought some Martha Stewart paint at K Mart which was not of a good quality. I also could not get the same exact color match when I needed more -- because it took at least two coats to cover the WHITE walls.

I finally decided to go to Home Depot and by the best paint I could find. I settled on a Behr satin paint (two different complementary colors) in Caisson and Solomon Sand. I literally covered the cheaper paint and the white paint with ONE coat of the Behr satin. It has a beautfiul luster without being shiny, look rich on the wall and went on smoothly with just one coat. It is sometimes on sale at Home Depot but even if you pay full price it is well worth it. I only use Behr products now. I highly...

blfoster says "Great Product" about Clorox Disinfecting Wipes

I not only use these at home for use in the kitchen and bathroom but keep them at work to help clean the surfaces on my desk and cubicle and keep one in the truck for cleanup. I especially like the fact that they are disposable and kill germs.

Downside is the packaging is really a bit difficult as far as starting the roll and that the sheets sometimes get hung up and you have to take the top off again, fish around and find the end and thread it back up through the top.

It would be helpful if they were "flushable" for use in bathroom cleaning, particularly cleaning the toilet rims and outside the bowl. Other than that I believe this is an excellent product. I buy and use it regularly.

blfoster says "This is a miraculous product." about Mr Clean Magic Eraser, Extra Power

This product works well. I was looking for something that would be effective in cleaning my range (which is black with stainless trim) without leaving streaks and residue. Not only does the product do that, it cleans so much more. The front of my dishwasher, my countertops, my stainless steel faucet set gleams with a few strokes with this product.

I agree that a downside is it could be bigger. Perhaps they will hear this complaint from users and make a larger size. The best use for me is cleaing my stainless steel and chrome faucets and fixtures. The just absolutely gleam when cleaned with this product.

blfoster says "This is an exellent laundry basket and I would recommend it." about Rubbermaid Hip Hugger Laundry Basket

blfoster — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 20:54:13 GMT

I have used less expensive laundry baskets for a long time. I got tired of the handles breaking and the fact that they bent and broke after a short time. I was in need of a new basket a few months ago and went shopping. I was faced with either buying another easily affordable basket (or maybe two or three for the inexpensive price) or buy one that cost more. I was impressed by the reinforced handles, the fact that is shaped to your body and can be carried easily using only one hand, the heavy duty durability, and how much it would hold.

The decision was easy and a good decision...buy the Rubbermaid clothes basket. It has easily outlasted all others I have bought and would highly recommend this product. I would have replaced the others many times over the life of this one basket.

blfoster says "This is a quick, easy and effective way to protect your heart." about Bayer Children's Chewable Children's Aspirin Pain Reliever 81mg (Cherry, 36 Each)

blfoster — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 20:30:04 GMT

I use this daily for heart protection and have found it to be easy as you just pop it in your mouth and chew it...the taste is pleasant and you don't necessarily have to drink water with it. It is generally inexpensive, though more expensive than regular aspirin that is in lower doses and formulated/advertised specifically for adults for the purpose of heart protection. I like the taste of the original orange flavor.

It is great for people on the go. Carry it in your purse or briefcase and it is available wherever you are if you forgot to take it first thing in the morning. The overall quality, ease and cost of this product is excellent.
