genoveve26 says "Great Washer for a family of three" about Kenmore 80 Series Washing Machine

genoveve26 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 22:29:42 GMT

I received the Kenmoore 80 series washer as a gift from a very generous friend. We were newly married and ours had just gone kaput. It was a godsend to say the least. But i am happy to say that this machine is reliable and has wonderful cycles. some of which i dont even use, im embarrassed to say. i often use the heavy duty setting for all the grass and grease stains that are so lovingly bestowed upon me by son and husband respectlvely. You can do longer and shorter cycles according to your needs. there are also choices for delicates. the only thing i have to complain about is that sometimes the clothes get tangled up a bit. because its a top loader, the clothes sometimes get caught in the agitator and cause the machine to stutter. but that is a rare occurance. mostly its a great machine that gets the clothes spic and span, even when i use the cold wash cycle to save on energy and money.

genoveve26 says "not bad" about Wellbutrin Bupropion Hydrochloride

genoveve26 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 22:16:25 GMT

i was given wellbutrin (buproprion is the generic name) as an anti anxiety/depression medication. i usually take it once in the morning. i really dont notice a miraculous change but there are limited side effects. the only thing thats hard sometimes is not being able to have a sip of wine once in a while, which is definately not recommended with these types of medication. i suppose i am a little better than before, but i still dont have the energy that i would like. i did notice a slight tremor in my hands at the very start, but it seems to subside most of the time. i also dont drink coffee anymore, just in case it interacts too much together. my doctor mentioned that it might take a little while to see the full benefits so im being patient. supposedly i will be upped from 300 mg to 450mg at some point which is fine, but i dont look forward to taking two pills every morning along with everything else i take. oh well, nothing is perfect. and at least its a start to a...

genoveve26 says "This one knocks it out of the park!!" about Nintendo Wii Console

genoveve26 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 21:57:03 GMT

I love the WII Game Console and believe me i do not utter those words often. My husband and son came out of Best Buy one lovely evening carrying said WII and their sheepish grins. I had been fighting them on this purchase for about a year, but i guess the pull was just too strong. I have to say that it was a great investment. the games that are just included are amusing and keep you going for hours. we particularly love bowling and tennis and of course the ever popular boxing. Would you believe that even the golfing game gives you a pretty good workout. You have to mimic the motions of the real sport, so sweat is involved. We enjoy playing it on rainy days, when you just need to get some energy out. They just hooked up the wireless function. I love creating my little character (mii). The more characters you add, the more you see them as spectators in various games, like baseball. I just think that is so clever. So im glad they didnt listen to me for once and bought...

genoveve26 says "its a love hate thing" about Blackberry - Pearl 8100 Cell Phone

genoveve26 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 21:44:04 GMT

My husband decided to change our carrier about two years ago to T-mobile, which is how i ended up with the Blackberry Pearl 8100. At the time it was the cool new phone to have. I would have been happy with my old one. lol It took a little getting used to at first, since navigating is way different depending on the phone. There is a handy tutorial right on the phone, which helps you with shortcuts and commonly asked questions. Especially useful are the lessons on typing and texting, which i love to do. The phone has an alarm, a camera, a calculator, a calendar, all the usual suspects. It is bluetooth enabled and is supposedly one of those "smart phones". hah hah. I just recently learned how to hook it up to my computer, which was fortuitous indeed. all of a sudden the phone started going wacko, erasing all my text messages and eventually just completely turning off. Apparently, it needed to talk with the mothership (just kidding) my computer. the one thing that truly...

genoveve26 says "not a keeper" about Compaq v6000 Laptop

genoveve26 — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 20:24:06 GMT

Well my husband is the IT Expert, but i have a few of my own opinions about the Compaq Presario v6000. I have had this laptop for about three years now. The things I like about it: Good sized clear screen. Typing is a breeze and it came with a bunch of fun stuff. Unfortunately, I keep finding things wrong with it. The small controls for sound and mute up at the top of the board are broken. Mute is temperamental and works only when it wants too. I dont really appreciate moodiness in my computers. lol It often freezes up on me, although i have never been in the throws of anything life saving. But it ups the aggravation factor a bit. The wireless card had to be replaced. This happened in the very beginning, so it was under warranty thank goodness. You send it back in a postage paid package and they fixed it fairly quickly. Supposedly, this was not an uncommon problem. I know that batteries just go kaput eventually, but mine no longer holds a charge and it happened...

genoveve26 says "windex outdoor all in one window cleaner, better than expected" about Windex Outdoor All-In-One Window Cleaner

genoveve26 — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 01:08:37 GMT

first of all let me start by saying that i hate cleaning anything so i started using this product with trepidation. I enjoyed being able to reach the first level windows with ease. Unfortunately, my second stories were too high. oh well. the product worked better than expected and i might use it again....

genoveve26 says "attachment great for upholstery" about Dirt Devil Purpose for pets M140000

genoveve26 — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:57:46 GMT

the dirt devil purpose for pets is a good product. we had some trouble in the beginning with clogging, but soon got the hang of using it. the attachment is great, it really works. especially good for pet hair on upholstery and lightly colored fabric dining room chairs. i hate hair on my seats. it does suck up alot of dust and dander as well. ...

genoveve26 says "good rates at the time" about Jet Blue Airways

genoveve26 — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 17:08:53 GMT

i enjoyed our experience flying with jet blue to florida. we flew several years ago though so i am not sure if things are still exactly the same. the seating is fairly comfortable, but not first class or anything. you get a small snack which i guess is the best anyone does anymore. the price at the time was the most reasonable. but the way things are going now that might not currently be true....

genoveve26 says "nice way to give your kids what they need " about Gummy Vites 220 Gummy Bears

genoveve26 — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 17:00:16 GMT

my son is so into gummy vites. normally i have to remind him to take his vitamin every morning. but now he is the one who reminds me. what a switch. they taste great and look fun. its exciting for the little ones because they can pick which one they want. gives them a small sense of independence. ...

genoveve26 says "my travel bible" about TripAdvisor

genoveve26 — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:51:44 GMT

i just cant help but love travel advisor. until i found this site it was tough to decide on a hotel. there are so many candid and up front reviews by real people. you have to look at the type of person the does the reviewing to really understand their motivation. but i love the realistic pictures that people post and the details are fantastic. its where i turn for travel info....

genoveve26 says "worth the price of admission" about Enchanted

genoveve26 — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:45:03 GMT

this turned out to be a really great movie. at first my husband and i were slightly skeptical about the premise. but the movie had everything it should, romance, comedy and peril. we actually went without my son, but we wont tell him that. we loved the songs especially. too bad they didnt win anything for the music. the actors were well suited to their parts....

genoveve26 says "makes plants grow like weeds" about Scotts Miracle-Gro All Purpose Plant Food

genoveve26 — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:37:09 GMT

I just love miracle gro. It makes things grow like crazy and believe me I need the help. I never have very good results when it comes to helping plants along. Miracle gro really is a miracle. I tried using just regular soil from the backyard but it seems too dry and inhospitable. No matter how much water I would give the plants it did not seem to matter. But just add miracle gro and the plant grows with vigor and vim. ...
