ApriBambino says "Yummies Candies & Nuts of Maine is a candy lover's dream " about Yummies Candies & Nuts

ApriBambino — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:25:44 GMT

Yummies Candies & Nuts

Their motto is: "If you can't find it at Yummies, they probably don't make it", and if you check out their website you'll find this to be very true.

Yummies Candies & Nuts is located in Kittery, Maine.They carry a humongous selection of assorted goodies that's really mind boggling. I order candy from them for the holidays as I like to make sweet-treat baskets to give out to friends and family.

When you visit the site you'll find that it's pretty basic,nothing fancy but it is easy to navigate and there's lots of treats to check out.

The list is long and includes: Chocolate Novelties, Better Chocolates,Christmas Treats, Dried Fruit and Mixes, Fun Stuff like wax lips and flying saucers. There's Gummies and Jellies, assorted Hard Candies, Jelly Beans, Licorice, Lindt Truffles, Liquor Fulled Chocolates, Maine Jams and Jellies, Maine Treats, Memory Lane treats like Candy Buttons, Necco Wafers and Candy Lipsticks. There are oodles of Mints like Violet Squares and...

grenmse says "What a waste of money!" about Bidcactus

grenmse — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 05:11:13 GMT

I tried out BidCactus dot com because I love searching for bargins on the net and I was attracted to the idea of getting gift cards and other high cost items at a potentialy much lower price than full retail. The concept was simple; buy a "package" of bids (ranging from 25 to 100) and use them to bid on penny auctions and longer auctions of up to four hours. The price you pay for the item depends on the number of bidders but I rarely saw an item or a gift card exceed three dollars. Hmm, sounded pretty good. So you are essentially paying for the bids and the item. But the way I figured it at first is that even if you use up 5 bids and two dollars on a $50 gift card you would still come out ahead. Well like gambling it turned out to be a money pit!

To make a long story short, a Playstation 3 is big on my list this Christmas but at three hundred dollars it is super way out of my budget right now so I figured what the hey and joined Bid Cactus. Then I purchased the cheapest package they...

HonestAngel says "Be Careful What You Have Them Donate After Consigned" about Kid to Kid

HonestAngel — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:16:13 GMT

I used to love to shop at Kid to Kid in Covington. But one day I decided to consign and yes, they are extremely picky and didnt even want my Petit Bateau for more than $1.50 a piece...I then decided to have them donate the items they didnt want after looking at the clothing refused and asking as to why they didnt want these nice outfits...They always put in their ad they want sets of clothes/outfits...Well, they not only broke up a few of my outfits, but I went to shop a few days later and found a nice 2 pc outfit I had donated (they had refused) to Pregnancy Aid through Kid to Kid for SALE on the shelf for $6.99...So afterall, they never donated my item...I know its mine as I had embroideded a little letter inside for my son..They took something I was trying to do nice for the less fortunate and stuck their noses up to make a profit...I was So upset! And I guess they owe me and pregnancy aid now!!! They say thay pay 30% on clothing and a flat 40% on furniture items...Well, They paid...

busycharles says "Great fun for the whole family!" about Disney Scene It? The DVD Game

busycharles — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:44:54 GMT

It was alot of fun playing this game with the kids and because the game is not just for the young kids, adults can play and be challenged just as much as the kids are! Some of the movie questions are about movies I've not seen in ages! If you happen to get a questioned that was already asked then you can just click the next button and it gives you a new questions so that your almost guaranteed to not get bored with the game. You get to watch video clips and are asked things like what was in the picture or who played this person, etc... It seems like you could play it forever! There is a board that you can open all the way to play a long game or keep it folded up for a shorter game. Since I have a real young one we often times like to just answer the questions on there and not even bother with the board part.

ApriBambino says "Yankee Candle Spiced Pumpkin Jar Candle smells oh-so yummy." about Yankee Candle Spiced Pumpkin Housewarmer Candle

ApriBambino — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:58:40 GMT

Yankee Candle Spiced Pumpkin Housewarmer Candle

I love Yankee Candle products. I've been a fan for a long time and think they have some of the most deliciously scented candles and home fragrances around.

I especially like their holiday selections like this Spiced Pumpkin Housewarmer Candle. As it warms, it scents the room with the essences of nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, of course pumpkin and a hint of sweet brown sugar. It truly smells as if you're baking a pumpkin pie, it's very cozy and inviting, the epitome of the fall season.

Yankee Candles may be expensive ($24.95 for 22 oz.) but they last for quite a long, long time. This 22 ounce jar will burn between 110 and 150 hours, longer than any other brand I've tried in the past that's for sure. They also come in smaller less expensive sizes as well.

When I light Yankee Candles around my home, it definitely creates a certain mood. If you're feeling a bit frazzled and overworked, what better scent to fill the air than Spiced Pumpkin?,...

KaciOhio says "GREENLEE is great when it comes to tools & accessories" about GREENLEE High Dexterity Gloves

KaciOhio — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:02:50 GMT

I want to start reviewing tools and everything that my husband works with but it's hard when I can't get him to tell me anything about his tools lol. So this is coming from his mouth. GREENLEE High Dexterity Gloves. Tough, soft and comfortable to wear. No shrinking, stretching or hardening. Has a terrycloth thumb to remove sweat or debris from your face when using. Has a wrist strap for perfect adjustment and padded knuckles. Has textured palm pads for extra wear and durability. They are a little small on his hands, he has very large hands and small fingers so they do not fit right and are a little awkward. Very durable and makes your hands sweat. Mechanics gloves and they do keep your whole hands protected while your working and the little terrycloth on the thumb isn't really needed according to him, he has never needed it. They come in black with green designs on them and he's used this same pair of gloves 5 days a week for months and they have no discoloration no rips no worn out places...

PennyPinchinMama says "Promises on what it delivers" about Tide Stain Release

PennyPinchinMama — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:24:14 GMT

I first tried the Tide Stain Release because I received a coupon for $2.50/1 and so it cost me very little. I figured that I was out absolutely nothing if I hated it. Well, I tried it and FAR from hate it!

This stuff works amazingly well! I was really apprehensive in the thought that something really could get out all of the pasta, pizza and ketchups stains that always find themselves onto anyting light colored that my children wear. I had "tried it all" before and nothing delivered on it's promises.

I first tried it by pouring some onto the stain, and it didn't seem to work any better than anything else I had used. But then, I thought I'd dump some into the machine (yes - finally actually followed the directions) and see what happened. Imagine my surprise when a stain riddled white shirt came out pristine clean! It was at that moment that I knew I was sold -- coupon or not. But of course, the coupon certainly makes it even better!

mbulington says "These are the best!" about Almay Hypo-Allergenic Eye Makeup Remover Pads Moisturizing 80 ea

mbulington — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:36:20 GMT

My daughter and I have been using these awesome pads for a few years now and we absolutely love them! I am a contact wearer and my daughter is not and neither one of us have ever had a problem with these pads. They come in a convenient container that is very portable and easy to travel with. The remover works great and does an awesome job at removing all the makeup. A wonderful plus with these pads are how mild they are on your skin/eyes. The skin around the eyes is very delicate and mildness is a huge concern when it comes to makeup remover. But, so is the effectiveness of the remover and this product is has it all! My favorite feature about this product is the fact that they are not oily or greasy at all. There is nothing worse than a greasy eye makeup remover! And so many of them are even if they say they are not. We have no reason to even try another product - why mess with perfection!

hoosierfreebies says "A Ridgid Cordless Drill will be the last drill you will ever buy" about Ridgid Cordless Drill

hoosierfreebies — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:18:53 GMT

In todays world money still doesn't grow on tree. So spending hard earned money on a cordless drill that doesn't do it job, battery goes dead in the middle of a project or even wears out with in a year of purchase. Well to me that doesn't seem fair. However, with a Ridgid Cordless Drill you don't have to worry about that. The Ridgid Brand is a highly respected brand. The Ridgid Cordless Drill comes with two 18v Lithium ion batteries, which makes it last even longer then other brands. The Ridgid Cordless Drill also comes with a battery charger. The Ridgid battery charger will charge a completely dead battery in minutes, instead of hours like other brands do. Most Ridgid Cordless Drills also come with a nice caring bag or case. That way you can keep your drill, extra battery and charger all in one place. Ridgid Brand also offers a 100% Lifetime Warranty with their products. When you purchase a Ridgid Cordless Drill make sure you fill out and send off the warranty papers. Your Ridgid......

bradshawcl says "Makes me a craft-a-holic" about Cricut Die Cut Machine

bradshawcl — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:02:08 GMT

If you make any kind of craft such as homemade cards or scrap booking, then this is the machine for you. Not to mention if your kids have projects such as posters for school, then no more hand cutting letters and measuring them out. This machine can cut out letters, numbers, shapes, and a lot more, in several different sizes and fonts too.

So, I began to research it to figure out if it was a bunch of hype or if it was really as easy to use as what they made it out to be. Turns out I mentioned it to someone and they said they had one and she suggested I get it because they really liked theirs. So, then I started researching for a good price. It retails for around $249, so I really suggest that you shop around, I found it at amazon.com for $180 with free shipping and no tax.

Right now there are three different Cricut machines out there- one is the Cricut Personal Cutting Machine (number 29-001) which is what I ended up getting for $180, the Cricut Expression Machine, which is around $400,...

ktrask803 says "ok, but not for bad stains and heavy cleaning" about Kaboom Foamtasic spray

ktrask803 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:54:04 GMT

We have some tough to get rid of stains in our apartment tub. I wanted to try Kaboom based on the ads on TV. I figured it would clean deep and with a little more scrubbing the tub would be great...I was wrong.

The cleaner did take off some of the gross on the tub, but not even close to all. It will take some deep scrubbing and a few more applications to get rid of it. I could see on the rag that it did clean some, so it's a start.

I would use this product, but not for heavy duty cleaning.

jlowe308 — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:41:36 GMT

During the holidays alot of people waste unecessary money on gift wrap and I use to be guilty too but i came up with an idea one holiday while sitting in my living room out of gift wrap and agrivated.It was really nasty outside and slick so I knew there was no way that I was going to be able to make it back out to buy some much needed gift wrap so as I was panicking because i had gifts to be delivered the next day I cam e up with an idea.I had some newspapers about 3 days worth sitting in my living room so I took them and used them as gift wrap.It worked great and it covered really well too.I was able to wrap 5 to 6 small gifts in no time and I didn't have to cut to much off eaither and it really got the job done.I am one who always is trying to find ways to recycle anyways so to me this was a great idea and it worked.Yeah the color is not the greatest but in reality who really cares about the wrapping paper and think about all the money that paper companies make off of you yearly and all...

mmcross says "What would I do without Aldi?" about Aldi Food Stores

mmcross — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:56:32 GMT

Aldi is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to my grocery budget! If you are looking to save money in these hard times, this is the place to shop! We have a large family of 8 and we save a lot. It has even been better now that they take check cards because at one time they would only take Cash! Not the case any more so yay for us!

It's amazing the difference in shopping at Aldi and Walmart. Walmart can be cheap but Aldi is cheaper and very good products too. I enjoy the nice clean store, the stock that is always in place, unlike Walmart! they have great, fresh produce and frozen veggies.

Another wonderful thing about Aldi is that you don't have to wait in line forever like you do at Walmart. Some of the things that people would think are draw backs: 1. You have to have a quarter to get a cart. My quick comeback would be this: It saves you money so who cares, I like the nice carts better because they stay put up! 2. You have to purchase bags and...

neiatze says "elimanates my 6 dogs" about Febreeze fabric refreshener

neiatze — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 05:36:09 GMT

Twice a week i vacuum up dog hair by the pound. My six dogs can really create a mess- and a smell. They lay on my couch to sleep or on the carpets. When i'm not home, I know my lab/ husky has jumped on my bed to catch a nap. I spray Febreeze after i have vacuumed. I spray it on the couch, on the carpets, on the bedspread. It is the best smell in the world and actually lasts for 12 hours. 12 hours with 6 dogs. That's incredible, you say. Well, i say the same. I tried a generic rip off of this product once and i had to use half of it just to get the effects of just a few sprays in each room. I went out and just bought Febreeze to finish the job. I won't use anything else.

hicks870 — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 03:35:15 GMT

AMERICAN PRISONS ARE OVERLOADED WITH THE SMALL TIME DRUG USERS, WHOM FOR THE MOST PART THIS IS THEIR ONLY CRIME. WE ARE LETTING CHILD ABUSERS, RAPIST AND MURDERS GET OUT OF JAIL SOONER BECAUSE THEY NEED THE ROOM TO HOLD ALL THE DRUG USERS. WHERE REAL CRIMINALS USE TO DO MAJOR TIME FOR THE ABOVE OFFENSES ARE HARDLY IF ANY DOING ANY TIME AT ALL.

A MAN MOLEST A SMALL CHILD , NOT HIS FIRST OFFENSE BY FAR, AND IN A FEW MONTHS OR LESS THEIR OUT. WHERE SOMEONE WITH ONE PILL OR ONE JOINT GET PUT IN FOR YEARS.

BELIEVE ME I DON'T BELIEVE IN HARD CORE DRUGS,LIKE COCAINE, HEROIN, METH, AND ICE, ITS ALL SEVERELY ADDICTIVE. THAT METH IS MADE WITH NOTHING BUT POISONOUS CHEMICALS, IT'S KILLING PEOPLE QUICKLY. AND THESE DRUGS TAKE PEOPLE TO WHERE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR DOING AND THEY CAN'T GET ENOUGH., THEY OVERDOSE, OR GET SO STRUNG OUT.

cinnimini02 says "The Northwest Herald is good for broad ideas but limited local." about Northwest Herald

cinnimini02 — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 00:12:07 GMT

The Northwest Herald is delivered here in McHenry County, but it does not always cover local McHenry County news. They often forget to write about local events, like festivals over the summer. This really makes me sad, because they used to cover local things much more thoroughly. I used to be able to just rely on them to find out which festival activities were taking place when. I LOVE going to all the summer parades, fireworks, and other various festival activities in the county, but have had more trouble getting the information I desire about them now that the newspaper hasn't covered them as well. I do enjoy this newspaper, and I think I will always have a subscription to their paper, but I do truly wish they would focus on local events the way the have in the past again. That's the point in getting a local paper is to get the local news! I now have to get multiple newspapers to achieve the wants I have from a newspaper, where I used to only need one.
