dynamitetaxlady says "Juice myself to death" about Jack Lalanne Power Juicer

dynamitetaxlady — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 02:17:04 GMT

Jack Lalanne Power Juicer is AWESOME. I can't believe I waited so long to buy a juicer. This item is great. I originally purchased it from my cousin, but she was always trying to get me to come over and "juice" with her, I never did, 3 years later she moves out of state and sells everything. First thing I ask for was the Power Juicer. I wish I would have started 'juicing' months ago. My husband and I started 'juicing' a week ago and I feel more energetic. We first started using the safe fruits (oranges, apples, limes, lemons, etc). We then started using other fruits we didn't think would go to well together and OMG its wonderful. I just pop a few fruits in it in the morning pass a glass to my husband and daughter and we're out the door. There are so many benefits to 'juicing", now I want to try more exoctic fruits and vegetables. I also love the fact that the Juicer itself is cute, it goes with the whole stainless steel look. It's dishwasher safe so I love to just...

dynamitetaxlady says "Good for faxing only" about Brother MFC-420CN USB Printer

dynamitetaxlady — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 02:03:23 GMT

The Brothers MFC Printer is alright for faxing and copying only. One of the biggest factors that sold me on buying this printer was the price, I got it for only $79. Another big reason I purchased it was that it is 4 in 1; a printer, copier, fax, and scanner. I especially like that it can do all those in color (except fax of course). I also like the fact that it can be placed practically anywhere; on a desk, counter, under a table, on a shelf. And it's Brothers so you're able to see on the computer the ink cartridge levels. But there are a couple of things I don't like, such as you have to open it from the side and then pull up like you're looking under a hud of a car but it is not stable, it has a little plastic lever to hold it up. The USB cord goes "Under the Hud", and then wraps around it and the cord is short so it has to sit directly by the pc. I also hate that you need 4 different ink cartridges and if one is out you can't use it until you replace the empty cartridge. It...

dynamitetaxlady says "O feel so good" about Dr. Miracle's 2 in 1 Tingling Shampoo & conditioner

dynamitetaxlady — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 01:11:02 GMT

When I first started seeing these commericals I was like come on yeah right. See I hate those commericals that have the corny story line plus when I saw the price of all the products, I was like you got to be kidding me. But when I was looking for a new shampoo and everything I tried didn't work I said I'll try Dr. Miracles 2 in 1 Tingling Shampoo & conditioner. For one I have very thick hair so it's very hard to manage, but OMG when I tried it, it was awesome. Dr. Miracle is a true miracle. First when you put it in the fragrance is like peppermint. Then when you massage it into your hair you know it's working because you can feel it tingling. Any other shampoo I've tried in the past smells good but has always left my hair dry or brittle. Dr Miracles shampoo left my hair soft, managable and feeling good. I mean its worth the $8 a bottle. The only default is that the bottle is so little.

dynamitetaxlady says "Microsoft always experimenting with loyal customers" about Microsoft Internet Explorer 8

dynamitetaxlady — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 00:56:13 GMT

Now when I first got the notice to update my browser from Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 to 8 I was like cool they have a new version of the browser, what are they adding or changing now. But now that I've had it for a couple of days, its been a headache. The new Explorer 8 is always crashing. Tabs are always closing or having errors and I have to seend to microsoft and then automatically reload on their own. It's frustrating. It seems slower. Some pages don't always connect when I put the address in the address box. So thats the defaults but soem of the cons are I like the different colors that show when you open different tabs. I like the options it gives you when you open new tabs, the extra security and privacy it gives

dynamitetaxlady says "Small yet powerful" about Staples MailMate(TM) Shredder

dynamitetaxlady — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 00:46:14 GMT

The Mailmate shredder from Staples is great. One of the biggest factors that sold me on buying this shredder was the price, I got it for only $29 and that was because of a price error. (remember any price still advertised they must honor it) It also came with free sheets to keep it clean. I also like the fact that it can be placed practically anywhere; on a desk, counter, under a table, on a shelf. I also like the sleek look of it (the black and stainless steel). I especially like that it can shred credit cards and an entire junkmail envelope. But there are a couple of things I don't like, such as it does not do the criss-cross or diamond cuts, its small so I have to fold regular size documents in half and because it's so small I'm always having to dump the bucket, but hey for the price I can deal with the few defaults.

dynamitetaxlady says "Practical yet handy coffemaker" about Gevalia CM-500 12-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker

dynamitetaxlady — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 00:35:32 GMT

I love this Gevalia coffee maker. When I walk into the door of my office in the morning and its the second thing I turn on (radio first by the front door ;o) ). Most people get it because it comes free when you order the Gevalia coffee, but I like it because it simple yet sleek. It comes in black or white and it has stainless steel on the front and sides of it so it gives it that new modern look in any kitchen. I love that it has the automatic , so before I leave the office I make sure it setup for the next morning so I can have fresh coffee in the morning. I like that it holds twelve cups of coffee and that it has the simple clock setup on the front of it. I also like the fact that if you do forget that its on, it has the automatic shutoff feature. I've had it for 3 years so it has a long lifetime. The only thing I which it did have was a grinder.

dynamitetaxlady says "Steak - if you like fatty ones" about Cy's Crab House - Chicago, IL

dynamitetaxlady — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 00:24:07 GMT

Personally the food I ordered was great (Crab legs and 1/2 slab of ribs). However, my husband ordered their special Steak which was 24oz (yeah right). Now it came out huge but it was probably 12oz's of fat. It was cooked the way we wanted; well-done. So when we brought this to one of the owners, he told us that real pieces of meat have that much fat. (WHAT!). He says a good piece of meat should have plenty of fat. Anyway, their seafood is great also their drinks but just be careful with the red meat. But also ask the waiters to ask the bartender to make the drinks the way you want, because the owners will also try and tell the bartenders how to make your drink as well. The atmosphere is perfect too. Even though its also a bar it's great for first days and late night dining. It is also good for just grabbing a drink and sitting in a corner watching some basketball.

dynamitetaxlady says "Treo 755p, we're joned at the hip!" about Palm - Treo 755P Cell Phone

dynamitetaxlady — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 02:55:34 GMT

The treo 755p is a lifesaver. It's your very own little computer in your pocket. It's everything in one. Like most phones they don't have a full keyboard, but palms phones (besides blackberries) where the first to have the full key boards. Also it's the 1st phone to be touch screen. You don't need a ipod or an mp3 player because it has pocketunes. You don't need to buy ringtones because you can get a program called ringo and create your own ringtones from songs in pocketunes. You can create to do lists and task lists. It keeps a call log for over 6 months! Thats great.. It's great. Mobile Email for Palm allows me to get multiple emails from multiple email addresses at one time. I have always upgraded my phone and its always been a palm, I don't know any phone better. Theres only a few downsides to this phone, 1 is the battery life is not long when you have all that stuff going on also the mini card is hard to find.
