Web Sites http://www.viewpoints.com/BzzAgent-review-06cb0  I have been a BzzAgent for almost one year and I have to say it has had a profoundly positive impact on my life.  Being a gal who simply loves sharing a good thing when I find it, BzzAgent is probably the best concept I've ever run across. As I travel through my day, I am constantly sharing tips, tricks and useful information with the folks I meet.  Bzzing comes naturally, of course and when I found out I could become an agent and have even greater opportunities for sharing, I couldn't sign up fast enough.  If you're like me and you enjoy learning about and trying great products, services and websites, then come join me as a...

Cheap items for every occasion. Some of the items are a bit cheesy, but the majority are good. If you are a teacher looking for cheap seasonal gifts, check out Oriental Trading Co. They are the best for less....

I love being a Bzz agent because I can say what I really think/feel about a product. Of course, I test the product first, but also, spread the word to family, friends, colleagues, etc. It helps other people choose a product that works best or doesn't work at all. Become a bzz agent yourself, it is worth the time....

Click "next" or "previous" to scroll through the pictures. A few are almost full screen, but most are smaller. I'd love to see the close-up details of some of the smaller shots. — I'm thinking eating watermelon this time of year, but I have a great respect for people who are talented enough to turn a piece of fruit into an awesome work of art. —...

I've had some real success in Fantasy Sports and have won some $$$. But the real payback is the bragging rites. — I'm one of the best in Wisconsin (for what that is worth...lol).

I have breastfed my three daughters, and I'm glad that I have. Some mothers have milk to spare or end up throwing out milk that they have frozen. This site explains how frozen breast milk (up to 10 months old, labeled) can be donated to help babies affected by HIV/AIDS in developing countries. Part is kept in the US to help babies in intensive care as well. — The website is easy to navigate and has an online application. This organization will check to ensure possible donors are cleared medically by sending someone to your home for testing. They will even send qualified donors a free hospital-grade breast pump. Costs for shipping are covered. They even mention that they accept special donations from mothers whose babies have died. — For those who don't have breast milk to donate (and you guys...

I've been planning to buy a pasta maker and wondered how to make ravioli from scratch. (My kids have multiple food sensitivities, in case you're wondering why I didn't just buy a can!) This site has all sorts of "how to" videos. My kids just laughed and laughed as we tried to learn how to beat box, belly dance and break dance! The videos are split into short clips, are clear and stick to the point. Yep...I did end up ordering a pasta maker after watching the video on how to make ravioli. Now if they just had a video on how to get the kids to act like perfect angels while Mom's on the...

When I first purchased a home with an in-ground pool back in 2003, my attitude was very different. "Buy whatever is cheapest", I would usually say, "Shock is shock- it's all the same". But over time, I realized that the differences between different pool chemicals and other supplies are far greater than I realized. And with this realization, I began to shop around for the best place to purchase pool supplies online. — I have used many different web sites to purchase pool chemicals, but the two online stores I shop at most frequently are IntheSwim.com and Lesliespool.com: The web addresses for In the Swim and Leslie's Pool Supplies respectively. Which online store is best overall? Let's take a look: — What Do These Web Services Offer?: — In the Swim and Leslie's Pool Supplies both offer...

You can save all your favorite recipes into a recipe box. You can also create a shopping list of all the ingredients you need and print it out. — How simple is that!!!! — Sheila Rae~ —...

Why not New York (Hi Beth)...my sister lives there (everyone wave to Beth and say HI) and the traffic wasn't to heavy this morning when I took a peek, still beautiful and big. Las Vegas anyone? How about a trip to Africa? There are so many places to travel and see... don't forget to check out my favs the zoos cams (just type in their search "zoo cam"). Travel the US or World wide. The world is on your computer (thought I was going to say oyster didn't ya). — Earth cam is filled...

NMA), that lists speed traps locally and nationally, and allows for personal additions from your experience to add to the lists and warn other motorists.  — Pros:  This site warns you of speed traps in your area so you may avoid the local revenue stream, and I have found it to be quite accurate as far as trends, times, and placement, including types of radar used.  Personal experience with speed traps in your area can be added to the site to warn others of the "ticketing" potential of the location, and a space for comments on your placement is also provided. A listing of lawyers specializing in your area for those with traffic related problems is available on the site for those in need.  — Cons:  The National...
