frezinnak says "Best Camera I have ever owned" about Nikon - D40 Digital Camera

frezinnak — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 00:05:50 GMT

After going through camera after camera I decided to break down and spend money on a good camera. I did much research and decide on the Nikon D40. This camera is the best I have ever owned. I am a mother of 4 and love taking pictures of my children. Your children are only little once and taking lots of pictures of them is capturing theirr childhood. I would recommed this camera to anyone. From amateur to pro. There are so many setting on it . You will be able to take any picture that suits your wants/needs. The pictures always are clear and beautiful. The camera itself is a little big compared to the point and shoots, but well worth the extra space it takes. You can purchase different types of lens and flashes to make this camera as fancy as you want. For my family the basic camera and lens kit that comes with it fits us just fine. Not saying that eventually I won't upgrade. Just depends on how far I want to take my photography too. A great camera anyone would...

frezinnak says "A Coffee Pot that keeps brewing and brewing and brewing!" about Mr. Coffee VBX23- 12 cup coffee maker

frezinnak — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 23:41:34 GMT

I have owned this coffee pot for about 2 years. I have never had any trouble with it working. I set the programmable timmer to go off about 15 minutes before I wake in the morning and leave it. I love to wake to the smell of fresh brewed coffee. The coffee tastes great. No bitter taste and comes in pipping hot! There are a few reasons why I only gave it 3 stars. It does in-fact brew up to 12 cups of coffee. The trouble comes when you try to fill the reservoir up to 12 cups. There are 2 holes right at the top, so if you put in exactly 12 cups all the water will not fit and you will end up with a puddle on your counter. Same thing goes if you fill it all the way up and then try to push it back on your counter. The top to this pot opens upwards which means that you cannot have a cabinet above the pot while filling it hence the reason you would want to move it after it's filled. No a very good design. One last thing that really bothers me is that the pot automatically...

frezinnak says "Brinkman ProSeries 8300 is one BIG disapointment" about Brinkmann ProSeries 8300

I was very excited to make the big switch from a charcoal grill to a gas grill. We looked around and decided that we liked the Brink-man Pro-Series 8300 model the best. We got the grill home and it worked beautiful for about 1 1/2 months. Then one day the flame just went out. I figured that the winter cold might have had something to do with it. So we stored the grill until Spring. I set the grill up once again and was extremely disappointed when the lit up a low flame and within a minute blew out. I have since replaced the propane tank thinking that maybe somehow the old one was already emptied after maybe 10 uses. The grill still will not light. I called their customer service center 10 days ago. They have a system where you enter your phone number and they place your number in a que and call you back when its your turn. I still haven't heard anything. I called back yesterday and the computer told me that my number is still in que and I would receive a call back. ...

frezinnak says "USAA is a must for all Military members" about USAA Banking and Insurance

frezinnak — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 22:40:06 GMT

We have been with USAA for 8 years now and have had not one complaint. The customer service reps are the best by far. They really take their time and find out what products and services are best suited for you and your family. They really know about the military family and life style. They are very familar with PCSing and they try to releive some of that stress. We have on several occassions price compared our Auto Innsurance with other companies. USAA has always been the lowest by far. Several companies when called asked who our policy holder is and when they found out it is USAA they didn't even try to get any more information from me. I was told that they would be wasting their time and mine because they cannot come close. One thing that I really like about USAA is that my children are also entitled to be members, lifetime members. Besides Insurance we also love their banking services. We are able to make deposits right from our home computer with our scanner. NO need...

frezinnak says "The Evenflo Triumph Advance Car Seat is a must" about Evenflo Triumph Advance

frezinnak — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 21:34:38 GMT

I was reviwing car seats and had my mind made up on the Britax Marathon. I decided to sleep on it and I am so glad I did. I came across the Evenflo Triumph Advance car seat. After reading reviews and finding out that it scored right below the Britax with Consumer reports and it was half the price I figured I would give it a try. I am so beyond happy with this seat! I have 4 children and have been buying car seats for the past 10 years I have never seen a seat that is so easy to install. Having the weather we have been having for the past few weeks has made it where one day you wear a heavy jacket, the next is a lighty sweater and the next day is a T-shirt, This has always made it really difficult with the tighting and loosening of the straps to get teh snug fit you need.. Evenflo has a nipped this problem in the bud. There is a little lever you push down to lenghten the straps and when you need the straps tightened you twist another knob that is on the side of the seat. ...
