chelseygato says "asthetically pleasing..." about BROAN Range Hood - Allure 30 inch black

chelseygato — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 14:28:35 GMT

BROAN Allure 30 inch black kitchen range

The ALLURE range was purchased after we ripped out ceiling tiles, wall panels, discovered gas pipes were bent to fit, and the kitchen walls were 3 different colors where ceiling tiles had previously covered them! We bought a large black refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom, a black stove, then looked for a black range to complement the rest of the kitchen's appliances. MY husband and I discovered what we desired at LOWE's. This BROAN product has 2 fan speed choices, and lo and high choces on the dual lights. My husband installed it himself.

One drawback is when replacing a bulb, if you screw it in too tightly, just slightly too tightly I must be specific: It bends back the connection and the light won't work. Easy to fix, then guard yourself next time replacing a bulb.

chelseygato says "Hardy for the whole family" about Hosta Sum and Substance Plants

chelseygato — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:29:18 GMT

Hosta 'Sum and Substance' Plants are some of the easiest and most enjoyable plants to have in a garden. I am almost embarrassed to say how mine grew. I have grown tomatoes, jalepenos, bell peppers,habaneros, pumpkins, and even corn. The hostas were given to me by a neighbor in her 80's and I expected them to just disappear when I planted them. While my lilies bloom and die within days, the hostas bloom first and are there months later, still quite vivid green and rain is the only water they get except 4-5 times when a kiidie pool gets dumped out. They literally take care of themselves, and have done so for the past four years.

I gave them an outstanding because they keep their color a long time and my neighbor told me they were inexpensive and refused to say how much because they were a gift to me. One drawback is that my daughter's school beans did not grow and were planted within close proximity to the hostas.

chelseygato says "perfect for small branches" about Fiskars Bypass Pruner

chelseygato — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:21:30 GMT

    The Fiskars bypass pruner works well for many small homeowners chores cutting branches and giving a good, non- slipping grip. It is fairly inexpensive, also. The 7936 model has a Tough Nyglass composite construction that is surprisingly lightweight. It is sold at Home Depot and Target.

   Model #9644 is sold on Amazon.com. I will not state prices, since they do tend to fluctuate; however, I've seen under $16 and $17 models over the internet.

   They are excellent for precision cutting, and my personal favorite; which is why I have rated them an outstanding....

chelseygato says "Maniac McGee was only the beginning of his brilliance" about Smiles To Go

chelseygato — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 16:07:12 GMT

William loves to play Monopoly with his two best friends. The familiar quirks in their weekly games simultaneously comfort and annoy Will. He eats his pizza a certain way. He is my sole mate when it comes to jelly beans! He loves black jelly beans and his little sister drops black jelly beans one by one into the waste basket to annoy him.

There is a major science discovery which affects his emotions in the beginning, and nobody else seems to care. His two friends kiss at a star party, which his younger sister becomes disappointed that it is a gathering to see through microscopes/ not famous people.

I was given a copy before completely previewed by harper collins publishing, for which I am extremely grateful. My 14 year old son and his 8th grade teacher are both charmed by this story. There is a hospital involvement, and Will realizes a friend is closer to his own sister than Will happens to be. her love for him brought me tears, and I hope all the American school teacher realize......

chelseygato says "british humor with Pegg anf Frost" about Hot Fuzz

chelseygato — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:55:49 GMT

There are quite a few reviews already about this movie. Anyone who is not familiar with Shaun of The Dead starring Simon Pegg , should stop right here. Literally. Frost's performance in that movie endears you to him, and then you can appreciate all the more the dilemna he has to face in this brutal comedy. Hot Fuzz has Simon as supercop who is the best at what he does and all the other cops dislike him. Similar the Joseph and his brothers in the Bible, except Simon's character doesn't have the many colored coat.
There is sickness in this "perfect" little town, the action is most certainly violent when you do see it. My favorite part is when Angel had arrested somebody who was free the next morning. All who have seen this movie know who I mean; that is when the town still appears quiet & "perfect"...

chelseygato says "Real cash for honest answers." about Buzzback Market Research

chelseygato — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 14:33:16 GMT

I have done several surveys for Buzz back and as of this moment, there is a $5 check to cash on Monday. I like that they come thru the mail as a check, not as points towards prizes. You can become screened out as to not pertaining to the type of person they are seeking; that has happened to me more than 6 times.

   There are options when you do not want to say your salary per year. Also, if you choose not to reveal your nationality, it is up to you. Some people are sensitive towards that at times.

   I do not feel comfortable explaining any surveys I have done, because to be honest, you do have to consent to non disclosure of any oinformation that you see. On one occasion they surveyed my 14 year old daughter who is now 16 and the check came for her, so filling out about your children can be beneficial towards yourself.

chelseygato says "Pizza and a whole lot more!" about Lehigh Pizza - Bethlehem, PA

chelseygato — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 18:49:46 GMT

   I love this place!   We have ordered from Lehigh Pizza since before they moved into this building; and now they are doing so well that they remodeled with an addition.

   The pitas for their gyros are hand made on the spot. Many black and white famous actors, athletes, and comedians adorn the walls.   Once this past December they messed up my order and when my husband returned, my small salad was now in a huge container. They have always used the best lettuce (I can vouch for at least 16 years.)

   My husband prefers their chicken cheese steak which they provide with olives, mushrooms, sweet peppers, onions, sauce, and hot peppers for us. Most people just get the standard sauce & onions & sweet peppers. We pay more for extra toppings, which is only to be expected and fair.

   French fries are a thicker variety, and always steaming hot when we choose to eat in the restaurant. They supply coupons on the internet as well as in local flyers. I enjoy using the $3 off $25......

chelseygato says "Search, get your info, & win!" about WINZY

chelseygato — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 18:34:16 GMT

   Want a search engine where you can win free prizes? Just go ahead and use Winzy to search on the web, the same way you would normally use any other search engine.I have searched for things, found other things, which led me to yet OTHER things thru winzy! I won Amazon.com $5 certificates simply by looking for things and used winzy to search up movies by actors, then used the certificates at Amazon.com for those movies!   I find it better than google for my searches, which surprises me because my 20 year old college son insisted he knew google was the best.

   You can also win on Winzy is by entering the Winzy Sweepstakes. Although I haven't, others have won. When you search on Winzy, you earn Winzy Points each time. Each Winzy Point is like a free raffle ticket which automatically enters you into their monthly drawings. The more searches you do, the more entries you earn into their sweepstakes!

   You can use the points to play rock, paper, scissors, SHOOT! I always lose......

chelseygato says "time consuming, but fun" about RewardTV

chelseygato says "deliciousness in a can!" about Sobe - NoFear

chelseygato — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 18:42:24 GMT

My eldest son worked 2 jobs as well as college full time, so despite my intentions, he began drinking these energy drinks just to keep going. Well, this one SOBE No FEAR GOLD he let his brother taste, who in turn urged me to try. It is delicious, and I can see why my son continues to drink this when I have pots of coffee and tea bags & offer to make him a pitcher of what used to be his favorite iced tea.

The can itself at first made me think of a high end beer can, but Sobe does have those cute little lizards in the middle. They make wonderful coconut drinks in glass bottles, and various teas. If you want energy but not coffee, well, this is the product to use. Each can has 174mg caffeine. They run approx. $1.99 a can....

chelseygato says "beautiful." about David Tate - David Tate Getaway Tall Shaft Boot

chelseygato says "Lovely; rich looking and seems to have freedom of movement." about Lane Bryant Faux Fur Collar Cape

chelseygato — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 12:50:47 GMT

Faux Fur Collar Cape ad is in red & catches the eye. Elegant at every turn and I seem to agree. Very soft faux fur collar with two buttons. There are coordinating hat and gloves which are on the model in the photo. Two sizes are available; One size fits women from 14w to 22w while
the other fits women from 24w to 34w. What is wonderful is that Lany Bryant guarantees all the merchandise they sell in their catalogs & promise an exchange or refund if the customer is not completely happy. Their internet emails sent varieties of discounts,30% off one day, 50% off 1 item another day, etc.

This item comes in black, ivory, or red. All beautiful. All are made of woven polyester fleece....

chelseygato says "close to shopping and highways" about Holiday Inn BELLE VERNON - Belle Vernon, PA

chelseygato — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 17:34:59 GMT

Grew up and iceskated and shopped in this area, but moved away 20 plus years ago. Stayed here while visiting family.There were fresh linens supplied, quite a comfortable bed, no noise from adjoining rooms was a definite plus. This is located 20 miles South of Pittsburgh, and close to highway and shopping plazas, yet still countryish. There is a coffe maker in the room and an outdoor pool....

chelseygato says "getting worse steadily" about wendy's - Whitehall, PA

chelseygato — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 17:26:54 GMT

I also disapprove of this place. They had a salad bar years ago which NEVER heated the tortillas, rarely stocked them, and that's probably one big reason why their salad bar was removed. I agree with the original reviewer of this restaurant, I go to the South Side Bethlehem Wendy's which is within walking distance of my home. They always offer hot sauce when I order chili, some don't and only give when you request it....

chelseygato says "you already bought the soda & own the lids - use them!" about My Coke Rewards

chelseygato — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 15:14:58 GMT

The people who drink coke products should already know everything I'm about to write. Either you don't have a computer, or are too lazy to take those lids, squint, and type them in! I have had errors many times and the red box pops up and lets you go back and change that N to an H (etc.)
Pappa John's Pizza had a summer contest which I entered twice and my second try I won 250 coke code points. I have gotten a free 8 x 10 from Kodak, free 20 oz sodas, Minute maid, a free 12 pack, a free large tub of popcorn at Regal which we just used watching Fred Claus on Thanksgiving. Also I have a very nice Adidas shirt which is for my son, Shaun for Christmas. There are many magazine subscription choices, there had been beautiful cuff links, coke items which are cute, all of which are free by taking the time to upload your coke codes.
The site itself shows all the various drinks which carry codes and it may surprise someone who hasn't already joined.

chelseygato says "Sibling love topples sibling rivalry." about Fred Clause

chelseygato — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 14:38:28 GMT

The 2 parts I just knew had to happen still surprised me because they did. I loved the child from PSYCH! being Fred because he uses facial expressions uniquely and is a fantastic child actor. Vince Vaughn did a marvellous job and I would give this 6 stars if I could. Sibling rivalry was not as important as love and throughout the movie it was the mother's fault, not Nick which irritated Fred. My 6 year old daughter knew Fred had to do some changes and she loved this movie.
Rachel's accent and her happiness at the French teddy came across; the family car "perks" at the end is a happy ending, she finally got her fantastic surprise Fred was always promising, so how other reviewers did not agree it was a happy ending, I guess they don't understand the story. The mom did not change, now that is more realistic and I give them kudos for showing Fred rising above it. I will be renting this to see it again whenever it comes out on dvd.

chelseygato says "Authentic, exactly what the team is wearing." about Jelly Belly 2007 Pro Cycling Team Jersey - Adult

chelseygato — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 14:25:46 GMT

The sleek green and black short-sleeve jersey from Champion System is soft and quite comfortable for the wearer. There are 3 rear pockets, possibly for packing jelly bellies to munch and a water bottle. Being manufactered where there are peanuts, make certain who this is intended for is not a person allergic to peanuts. Eliminate that 1 specification, and then I'm quite certain your cycle enthusiast will be happy with this gift. Include some SPORT BEANS or the 25 flavor gift box to make this a very, very appreciated gift. The men's size M is a 42 chest, while the range goes up to XXL for a 48 chest....

chelseygato says "Elite shiny youthful present would make nearly everyone smile." about Jelly Belly - Gold Mini Bean Machine w/ 8 oz Assorted Jelly Belly

chelseygato — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 14:10:10 GMT

This resourceful company knows how to create beautiful things to go along with delicious products. A shiny gold crank dispenser, not necessarily needing coins. You know the owner will want to crank 'em out whenever without using coins, yet if you want it somewhere for that purpose it also can be done the original way, which is a good versatile thing for the company to do for the consumer. The machine can hold nearly one and a half pounds of jelly belly candy, the candy included will not fill the entire machine. I would also buy a 2.2lb assortment from the company to have some on hand to refill the machine....

chelseygato says "All female cat lovers would smile at this mug." about Cattitude Cattitude Thermal Pink Travel Mug

chelseygato — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:37:35 GMT

This item has matching coordinates also at reasonable prices at the wrapables.com website. It is able to carry 14 ounces and is made from stainless steel. if someone prefers hot tea, they can still use this item. The coordinating ipot can be purchased and it includes a remavable stanless steel lid. This same website also offers a cattitude tea set for one. I find this a nice gift item for those who have sisters that are cat lovers....

chelseygato says "Both teen son's lists would include this." about Free Rider Sidewalk Surfing Caster Skateboard

chelseygato — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:20:11 GMT

Both red and blue look fine and the dvd included at overstock.com would reduce a mother's worry. 360 degree castor trucks help create a smooth gliding experience. Snowboarders would also love using this and the price is very reasonable. I have three sons and I promise you that either color would be fine for a boy....
