canuckmum says "Family Circle is like an old friend; it's been in my home 4 Ever" about Family Circle Magazine

canuckmum — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 17:12:51 GMT

When I was a young married woman I used to buy individual copies of Family Circle. It's always been a good value, it has tons of recipes and interesting articles that suit the average household. The magazine is not pretentious, it leans towards family and family values and is a good thing to donate when you are done with it. The covers are always eye catching and the index helps you find whatever you want easily. I now subscribe to Family CIrcle thereby getting it earlier than the newstands. I can't wait to see what's inside as every month holds my attention and I love trying their new recipes.

canuckmum says "The George Foreman Grilling Machine is a 'Knockout'" about George Foreman GRP4 A Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine

canuckmum — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 17:03:30 GMT

The George Forman Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine is convenient and cooks fast. I like the fact that it cooks both sides at once and the hinges raise to accommodate all thickness of meat or fish. The drip pan catches juices and/or fat which you could use to make gravies or sauces with. The removable plates are dishwasher safe and come out nice and clean. The size of the grill accommodates four hamburgers, or three medium steaks or chops at once. The grill heats up quite quickly and your meal is ready in no time at all....

canuckmum says "The Magellan - Maestro 3100 GPS: 4 men who don't ask directions" about Magellan - Maestro 3100 GPS Receiver

canuckmum — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 02:24:48 GMT

I bought the Magellan - Maestro 3100 GPS Receiver for my husband as I was tired of us being lost and late arriving places. Now we know exactly where we're going, and how long the 'expected' travel time will be. I like the fact you can change voices (female for a man) and (male for a woman) and that it has maps for the U.S. and Canada. We have family in Canada and it is a godsend. We like the day and night screen and ability to turn up the volume while driving due to traffic noise. The suction cup gives us the ability to affix to the gas tank on our motorcycle as well and those were the worst trips we'd get lost on :-) We still can't figure out how it knows all those routes; it must be magic!...

canuckmum says "Our King Koil King Size Mattress is like sleeping on a cloud" about King Koil King Size Mattress

canuckmum — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 02:14:25 GMT

My husband and I bought a King Koil King Size Mattress last January and we haven't had a bad night's sleep since. The mattriess is so roomy that we don't bump into each other anymore. It is so comfortable we usually race each other to sleep at night. The mattress is a bit heavy to turn, but it makes up wonderfully and looks quite magnificent in our master bedroom. We are both tall and like the height of the mattress as all we have to do is back into it and we're on. Actually, in my case I have to give little 'hop' but then I'm in heaven. We bought the set with the memory foam and it keeps its shape. We highly recommend to anyone with back problems....

canuckmum says "We love our hands free Hamilton Beach BrewStation Coffee Maker" about Hamilton Beach Brewstation 10-cup Coffee Maker

canuckmum — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 02:03:17 GMT

We love our Hamilton Beach BrewStation Coffee Maker. It is a space saver, we love the color black (doesn't show coffee stains), and it runs quietly. We love the time settings so when we get up in the morning coffee is ready. The fact that the coffee goes in the bucket you don't get that burned coffee taste from a carafe sitting on the heating element. The fact that you don't have a glass carafe makes it easier to handle and less fearful of breaking glass. Also, with the hands free function you don't have to worry about spilled coffee, it goes right in your cup. ...

canuckmum says "HP LaserJet 1020 Printer - our little office at home helper" about HP LaserJet 1020 Printer

canuckmum — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 01:47:20 GMT

We liked out HP LaserJet 1020 Printer so much that we've got two. They are easy to setup/install, take up very little space and have wonderful print quality. The only downside is the cost of the cartridge refills which is over half the cost of a new printer (on sale)....

canuckmum says "Match.com was a wonderful place to meet men" about Match.com

canuckmum — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:29:56 GMT

Match.com was my 'match maker' for about 16 months. I met many wonderful men and Starbucks was the favorite meeting place. Unfortunately, many men used VERY old photos and it was disappointing to meet 'some' duds. Most of the men were serious about finding someone special and I actually had three different proposals but the men were NOT for me. Good value and they often have 'specials'....

canuckmum says "XM Satellite Radio is great when traveling from state to state" about XM Satellite Radio

canuckmum — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:17:19 GMT

We travel by road quite frequently and XM iSatellite Radio ss always with us. We have our favorite channels and never miss out on news or have a variety of comedy or music to choose from as well. It's very cost effective, but we're finding a lot of the channels are sneaking in commercials and this is what we thought we were paying for - commercial free radio. The only downside is when you pass a stand of tall trees you lose reception. Now, that's funny considering if you go under a bridge you DON'T lose reception - go figure!

canuckmum says "Acuvue Advance Contacts are like wearing nothing at all" about Acuvue Advance Contact Lenses with Hydraclear

canuckmum — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 21:11:34 GMT

The Acuvue Advance Contact Lenses with Hydraclear are so comfortable you forget you have them in. Wearing them makes a lot more sports easy to participate in. They are cost effective, expecially if you watch for sales....

canuckmum says "This LA Fitness needs a facelift" about LA Fitness - Morrow, GA

canuckmum — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 20:50:45 GMT

As soon as we heard there was going to be a new LA Fitness in McDonough we checked it out. The one in Morrow is showing signs of age and some of the equipment had never been replaced for as long as we went there. The rules, posted on the walls, are not followed by members and the music is awful. ...

canuckmum says "Southwest is the ONLY airline that recycles - Thumbs up!" about Southwest Airlines

canuckmum — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 20:45:33 GMT

Southwest Airlines does not charge for checking any bags, at least not the first or second. They offer drinks and snacks at no charge. They are the ONLY, or at least the first airline to recycle. They have amazing flight attendants who treat you like family. They also have a seniors fare which other airlines don't have or don't advertise. I just wish they flew EVERYWHERE I want to go....

canuckmum says "Miracle Grow Potting Soil gives me a green thumb!" about Scotts Miracle-Gro Potting Soil

canuckmum — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 20:40:50 GMT

I have very hard, clay soil and it was almost impossible to get anything to grow. I then purchased Miracle Grow Potting Soil and mixed it with topsoil and put it in my flower beds and hanging pots. Everything I planted grew and I was extremely happy with the end results....

canuckmum says "Easy on the back and gets the earth loose enough to work with" about Faultless Garden Claw

canuckmum — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 17:13:40 GMT

The Weensn is especially helpful in the spring when you're getting ready to plant new seeds, plants, cuttings, etc. You use your arms instead of your back. It is most useful, or easier to use just after a rain when the soil is not so hard; we have hard clay here in Georgia. Good value for the money....
