JayPhater says "is honest to a fault :D" about JayPhater

JayPhater — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 06:15:44 GMT

I am JayPhater.. I have to hide behind this name and have been called various names already. See all you have to do is go into Miss Maguire's Finishing school and go into the OPP section and there you will find out all the dish on WHO they talk about. I was shocked by what I read. People on MMFS claim to be someone's friend, then they go back and talk mad crap about people and investigate them, call their significant others and so on. So my bad if I let the "cat out of the bag" and show the world what you "ladies" (and I use the term loosely) are all about. If all of this makes me a bad person then so be it. I can at least look in the mirror and know that I am not two faced.

khdeals says "Stampin Up is a unique stamping supply party." about Stampin'up

khdeals — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 05:48:22 GMT

I'm a scrapbooking hobbiest that have attended Stampin Up parties and purchased Stampin Up items. It's a great scrapbooking stamping company that has consultants that are so sweet. My local consultant is a great instructor on so many new ideas of projects. Each project is so cute and perfect for gifts and decor. The projects are each made with Stampin Up items. Rubber stamps, papers, embellishments and tools. The catalog has so many things in it that are very popular. No matter what color or themes that you like i'm sure that you will find many items that you will love.

The main reason I love Stampin up is the cute stamps for each holiday. The designs are perfect for making cards and the consultants have classes, parties, and more to show us how to make things with the different items for sale. The only negative thought I have about Stampin Up is that the cost of some items are a bit too pricey for me. Since the economy is not good it would be nice if they could also offer some cheaper...

akingslifetime says "Stop Flooding My Email with Fantasy Gift Card Giveaways" about Audrey King

akingslifetime — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 03:11:40 GMT

I wish the Federal Communication Commission would do something like suing the heck out of all these companies that seem to flood your inbox with giveways touting $250 -1500 dollar gift card giveaway. You go thru endless pages of signing up for this and sign up for that. The only thing I think they are looking for is a new fresh email address to flood. I have yet to win or get my gift card anytime I have applied to these scams. I then had to have to spend fifty minutes answering and turning down offers to fill my inbox with more junk mail, only to get to they end of the promotion and find out that to actually get my "gift card" I have to sign up for silver offers, and gold offers, or platinum offers, that they ask me to spend my hard earned money for, just to get their supposed free gift card. I don't like to have to put my credit card information into these shady places, when I was lured in by the promise of something for nothing. I am just wondering if their is anyone in America...

Clarity says "JayPhater is on a mission" about JayPhater

Clarity — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 01:16:37 GMT

JayPhater is a screen name coined by an individual that is a blatant expression of hatred for a wonderful woman who is known online as JP. JayPhater is actually known by a few names online - currently known as kensington and previously known as Gloria.

She's a Westboro Baptist type of Christian who is quick to spew hatred for homosexuality and for anyone who doesn't mesh with her version of Christianity. She's been banned from more than one message forum and yet returns to them with new screen names.

She's decided upon a personal vendetta against people who can see through her little games and has used Viewpoints as a way to "anonymously" voice her opinions.

Ignore her rantings and read the rest. Trust me, when one person says something is one way and every other person says it is the opposite, who do you think is right?

qq says "What a rip-off, terrible service and inflexible terms" about Visa Gift Card

qq — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:21:16 GMT

Just got 4 gift cards as a gift from a business associate. I'm finding them largely unusable and frustrating, which negates the good feeling of getting a gift in the first place.

I found that I can't buy anything that is more than the amount on the card, unless I go to a merchant who allows "split transactions" so they'll accept 2 forms of payment (of which there AREN'T MANY) and that I can't combine cards or refill the cards. I basically have to make sure that all of my transactions fall exactly UNDER the amount of the card and then throw away the card if there's a little bit left since I can't redeem for cash or "split" my transactions.

You have to register the card to use it (pain in the butt), then there are fees to nickel and dime you for everything. Maintenance fee, replacement card fee, expired card fee, check refund fee, etc etc. I can't believe all of these fees. In my opinion, it just takes away more and more from the gift itself, you give a gift for $20 and in a few...

apelhauer says "Normal if you live inthe south" about fort bend county fair

apelhauer — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:54:59 GMT

OK IF YOU LIVE IN THE SOUTH, YOU ARE PROBABLY USED TO THIS. County fairs are a yearly occurence and they are a good social place for entire communities to get together. I recently moved from the south to the north to pursue a career as a heavy metal singer ,model and /or producer. Now I can see a huge difference within the people because the attitudes are completely not the same. In the north if yoy wanna sing metal -it is best to be ascoundrel because they all want to screw each other and I know that it is completely based on love. Anyway every year every person in that town or city gets the day off to party with each other at the fair. You get off school and work because this is a big part of commerce in a small town or city. By the way , this is less than an hour from houston, the fifth largest city in the world. Here Future Farmers of America showcase thier best plants and animals for judgeing nd win big prizes and secures a spot for thier future ,a little. It is alot...

Cindykowens says "Consumers rely on other consumers for their opinions" about The importance of consumer reviews

Cindykowens — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:07:04 GMT

This is just a review on reviews. I have a slight disability from multiple sclerosis, so getting out to the shopping centers and malls has become a real chore for me. I do most of my shopping on-line now and since I can't actually feel and test a product when you're purchasing on-line, the reviews of others who have tried and either liked or disliked a product and their reasons for those decisions is of extreme importance to me. If at all possible, even bidding on an item on Ebay, I rely on others as to the trustworthiness of the seller and any independent reviews that have been made on a particular product. When I found this website where I could write my own reviews of things that I use daily, I was very excited. This is a very important part of consumer spending and particularly with the economy so strained, one must be very careful when making purchases and especially with large ticket items. I did extensive consumer research on the mini-van I purchased and the small pickup...

jedipple says "This is the future type of grocery store." about Aldi Food Stores

jedipple — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:52:27 GMT

Aldi Food Stores are the best thing to come to grocery shopping since "sliced bread". You have to get used to them and accept that the experience will not be like the normal shopping trip. They are putting more stores in different cities, which will be good for people that do not live in the larger cities where an Aldi Food Store is located. It saves so much time & expense as to labor to stock shelfs, retrieve carts etc. They have alot of the same food items as your larger grocery store and it is easy to find too. My daughter uses the store all the time and said she has saved alot of money on her weekly grocery trips. The only problem she said she has, is making sure she has a quarter to put in the slot to get her cart. Remember you do get the quarter back when you return the cart. This does eliminates jobs and that does concern me. However, some of the larger grocery stores are cutting a lot of their full time employees. It's a no win situation in this economy.

jedipple says "What are we paying these people for doing???" about Politics

jedipple — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:46:25 GMT

I am writing about our current political situation. I am very dissappointed in the our government right now. What I watched last Saturday, November 21, 2009, was the biggest circus I have ever seen. To have all the Senators work on Saturday and have the vote at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday night, was nothing but a theatrical event and Harry Reid was the producer and director. What a joke. I think that some of the Senators really think we as citizens, who elected them to serve us, are so stupid we couldn't have figured out what they were doing. The best thing we could do, would be to get rid of all the congressmen and have all new ones, sign a contract that they will all take a pay freeze and have the same health insurance as the ordinary citizen. The congress of this United States needs to prioritize their duties and take action immediately, instead of all the debating and talking and no one listens or pays any attention.

DLeeRich says "I only use CM Albums" about Creative Memories 12x12 Album

DLeeRich — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:49:36 GMT

The pages of Creative Memories albums are sturdy, not flimsy. They are the only pages I know of that are not only acid-and-lignin-free, but also buffered--which means that all the fancy embellishments and memorabilia I put into my albums along with my pictures will be less likely to destroy the photos over time. And ever since my daughter spilled a can of cola over the albums by accident, I am scared to use anything that doesn't have a page protector on TOP of the page. I also just like the neat, tidy look that CM page protectors give the albums. The few top-loading albums I have gape open at the top.

I do a lot of scrapping and shop in all the craft stores and on the Internet for cardstock, paper, ribbon, brads, stickers, etc. But I will only buy Creative Memories albums. I believe that they are worth the price. It's true that you can have a personal consultant (I love mine!), but if you don't have one, you can order quickly on-line without one.

sexysassy says "ocean shea body lotion leaving your body feeling silky soft" about ocean shea body lotion

sexysassy — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:28:12 GMT

I have been buying shea butter lotion for 5 years now and I love the way it makes my skin feel afterwards. I have tried many shea body lotion by Carol's Daughter. It's expensive but it's good to buy expensive things for yourself once in a while special if you have earned it. And it's good to pamper yourself once in a while. I work hard at work and I deserve to come home and take a shower and put on some lotion that relaxes you and makes your body feel good after a long day at work. So if you every want to relax after a hard day at work and just to pamper yourself by some shea butter lotion. I perfer Ocean Shea Butter Lotion because of the way it smells after a hot shower or bath. I naturally conditions, moisturizes and hydrates while nourishing your skin with antioxidants. It's paraben-free, no petroleum mineral oil or artificial color and that's why I love to use

L-A-H says "Vampfangs.com is absolutely terrible, a complete scam." about vampfangs.com

L-A-H — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:38:33 GMT

1 week before Halloween: Purchased 2 pairs of fangs; both pairs are charged to my credit card.

2 days before Halloween: 1 pair of fangs arrive; I go to the site to find the number to call to find out about the other pair and am advised that the site has closed down for Halloween. WTF?

1 week after Halloween: Site is back up. Call customer service and a recorded message tells me to call back later. Lodge a complaint ticket.

2 weeks after Halloween: Hear nothing back. Click through to track my complaint and am advised that the ticket number (the number that THEY sent me via email) is invalid. Call customer service and a recorded message tells me to call back later.

3 weeks after Halloween: Hear nothing back. Call customer service and a recorded message tells me to call back later.

3.5 weeks after Halloween: Call bank and claim fraudulent charge on credit card.

These guys are total scammers. I wish I'd read these reviews before buying from them.

mypoints7489t says "I have and will never use any other detergent but Tide!" about Tide with Febreze Spring and Renewal Scent

mypoints7489t — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:06:21 GMT

I love the Tide Laundry Detergent. I have and will never use any other detergent besides Tide! It is wonderful to use if you have sensitive skin. I love just about every scent. Right now I am using the Spring Renewal scent and I ABSOLUTELY loooove it! It is great paired with Downy April Fresh. It is 2x concentrated so you don't need as much which helps out with the cost. You definitely get what you pay for when you buy any laundry detergent and I would have to say this is the best. My family and I are always getting compliments about how great we smell! I have never had any problems with Tide Laundry Detergent! I would reccoment this product to anyone and everyone! I even have a baby and it works great for her sensitive baby skin! She never broke out in a rash or anything because of our detergent! I love Tide Laundry Detergent and will never use anything else! You really should try it out!

Deeceeba says "pogo games fun for the whole family" about Pogo.com

Deeceeba — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:36:30 GMT

I wanted to write a review on the free game site called pogo games. Now if you are looking for fun games for the whole family this is the one i would choose to join.

Why because it has so many games to choose from that its hard to choose which one to play. And if you want to make new friends its easy to do that too. And they offer tokens when you do win games, and there is a chat site if you want to meet new people.

And you can use these tokens towards prizes, and if you are not a member there are still a large variety of great games to choose from so you do not have to join if you choose not too.

Just to name a few of the games that i can think of

pogo bowling poppit

solitaire trivia pursuit

casino slots blackjack

bingo bejeweled

pool poker

And many more games all you need to do is register with or without membership, and then write up a profile page which you can hide from others if you do not want to share your homepage.

The games that are my favorite...

BeckyW says "Getting Too Much Bang for Your Buck? Innovations Will Fix THAT!" about UPS Mail Innovations

BeckyW — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:43:59 GMT

I'd never heard of this service until I ordered a single sports t-shirt online and paid $6 for 3-5 day shipping. The next day I get a shipping confirmation with an Innovations tracking number and a note that I can expect my item within NINE days. The tracking number they gave me was useless for 48 hrs. Then, I find that my item is waiting for the Post Office to pick it up from UPS, with no updated delivery time beyond November 25th.

I can just imagine how screwed up everyone's holiday shipping will be with Innovations.This is customer service at it's worst. Clearly a cost-cutting measure with no regard for customer satisfaction or repeat business. So, my son won't get his shirt on his birthday as planned.

I've already made it clear to this vendor that as long as they use Innovations they'll get no more business from me. Thank God the birthday items I ordered from Amazon, which qualified for free shipping, arrived within 48 hrs.! Go figure!

Save yourself some frustration...

OldHippie says "Grade "F"" about President Obama

OldHippie — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:18:37 GMT

Everything stated here will be backed up with FACTS! First of all, the National Debt has tripled under the Obama administration. "The National Debt has increased about $1.6 trillion on Mr. Obama's watch." "It gets worse. The same document projects that by the end of the decade, the National Debt will hit $24.5 trillion - exceeding the Gross Domestic Product projected for 2019 of $22.8 trillion." wellsy.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/national-debt-now-over-12-trillion

Let's talk pork: As ABC reported - the newly designed web site, recovery.gov cost 18 MILLION to redesign. "ABC News' Rick Klein reports: For those concerned about stimulus spending, the General Services Administration sends word tonight that $18 million in additional funds are being spent to redesign the Recovery.gov Web site." So 18 million of your tax dollars are being spent to redesign a misleading web site.
