gettoracer says "Good company" about Progressive

gettoracer — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 05:17:36 GMT

Progressive is a good auto insuance company, they accepted my husband's horrible driving record of 5 tickets within the past three years when most other companies would not. I had one representative from an auto insurance company actually laugh because our premium would be upwards of one thousand dollars per month!

I own a 2007 Mazda speed3, and I already had to have repairs done because of a hit and run driver. Progressive was very helpful and understanding. They did not try out usn at fault or at blame for the accident, and we got our vehicle fixed within a timely manner.

The longer we were with progressive, the lower our premiums went; they basically reward their customers for good driving habits.

There were a couple times when we cuold not afford to make our monthly payment on time. Porgessive gives you about 25 days to get the payment in before you are dropped form the insurance, and the late fee is no more than $5.00/ Good company I highly recommend.

P.S. You can do evrything...

gettoracer says "Fun for people of all ages" about Nintendo - DS Lite

gettoracer — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 05:03:50 GMT

I have owned a pink DS lite for about 3 years now and I am very happy with this product. I have been a fan of nintendo since the first NES came out in the 1980's. I love playing the mario brothers games, princess peach, mario kart, and any other games of the cartoonish adventurous sort. I also love playing the brain age games, big brain academy, and the mind quiz brain coach games. Basically I like to play games that don't require you to spend your whole life playing them; just games thatyou can play for fun when you have free time.

I think the DS is much more advanced than nintendo's previous handheld game consoles. I appreciate that you can play in the dark, I think the touch screen idea works well, although sometimes it can hurt your wrist if you play for too long. The graphics on the console are great, and I have just as much fun playing my nintendo ds lite as I did playing on my orginal nintendo nes.

gettoracer says "Basic shampoo, gets the job done" about White Rain Naturals Island Waterfall

gettoracer — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 04:50:43 GMT

My husband purchased the White Rain Naturals Shampoo- Island Waterfall because we simply needed a shampoo that was affordable.It seems to be a good deal, as the bottle comes with 33 percent more shampoo than the normal bottle of white rain shampoo. The smell of the Island waterfall scent is barely there, however that is how my husband prefers it, he doesn't like any strong flowery scents in his shampoos and body washes, it just makes him feel sick.

I ahve found that this shampoo leaves my hair feeling clean, but never too dry. In a time like now when we are struggling financially it is important to find products that are very afforadable, but still work well enough to meet our needs. It is definitely better on my hair than some of the suave products I have used; those just seem to dry my hair out very quickly.

Since we are skimping on shampoo, I still like to use a slightly more expensive conditioner, I think that the conditioner is more important for getting that nice, soft feel.

gettoracer says "Awesome camera!" about Olympus - Stylus 850 SW Digital Camera

gettoracer — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 10:23:38 GMT

The Stylus 850 SW is designed for active people who want a tough camera that can keep up with their on-the-go lifestyles. I have found that it works great for me!

It seems to be incredibly durable. It is very sleek and stylish, and it comes in five different colors: black, silver, pink, blue, and yellow. The metal body of this camara can absorb shock for up to five feet, so no worries if you are clumsy, or if you are going for an action shot! This camera is also waterproof for up to 10 feet! I've used it in swimming pools, and at the beach. It is freezeproof for up to 14 degrees, so you don't have to worry about dropping it in the snow when you're on that winter ski trip. It comes with face detection, so thatyour portraits come out great. The digital stabalization is great as well, so that if you are a little shakey, your picture does not come out blurry.

It is compatible with xD picture cards.

gettoracer — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 10:11:39 GMT

The Kenmore Elite 25 cu. ft. TRIO French Door Bottom Freezer Refrigerator is a great purchase; my husband and I were actually lucky enough to have one "donated" to us when his cousin was moving froma house to an apartment.

It features external filtered water dispenser with smooth touch LED controls, Tilt N Take tilting freezer drawer, Monochromatic exterior (case & dispenser). Adjusta Cube Ice Maker - 3 sizes of ice cubes, UltraIce enhanced ice production, SlideAway shelf and 5-gallon door bins, Humidity-controlled crispers, Temperature-controlled full-width pantry drawer, Hidden door hing. It isENERGY STAR qualified, and this refrigerator uses less energy to operate, saving money on utility bills.

I have been completely satisfied with this refirgeator for the six months that we have had it in our home. I never run out of room to put food. My fruits stay fresh, and my vegetables remain crisp. The stainless steel looks great in my kitchen.

gettoracer says "Easier to use a regular vaccume" about iRobot 400 Vacuum

gettoracer — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 10:01:36 GMT

Well I purchased the irobot 400 a couple of years after it came out, at Sears on black Friday. The idea of a robotic vaccume fascinated me, and I thought that if it actually worked, it would be worth the money. I lived in an 1100 square foot two bedroom apartment, and had one cat. The vaccume work pretty well at first. My carpets were very clean. However, here is a list of the MANY downsides to this robotic vaccume:

1. You have to pick absolutely evrything up off the floor so that it does not get caught in the vaccume (not good for when you're short on time)

2. It fills up very quickly, so you have to dump it frequently.

3. It gets stuck ging over thresholds.

4. It moves in a strange zig-zag patttern, which causes it to miss some spots

5. You have to replace the parts VERY often in order for it to work properly, and the parts are very expensive!

6. Works slowly

7. No attatchments

8. Unable to do stairs

gettoracer says "Best economy hair straightnening tool!" about Conair Satin Finish Ultra Slim

gettoracer — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 09:50:00 GMT

The Satin Finish Ultra Slim Straightener by conair is a product I highly recommend. I have wavy-curly hair, so I don't know about very curly hair, but I know it works great for me. I purchase this at Target for a mere $12.99! I love the new ceramic technology. The ceamic coated plates glide across my hair easily, leaving my hair silky and smooth, with minimal flyaways. I never experience hot spots, because the heat is distributed evenly. This straightening iron heats up in 60 seconds- so quick! The handle is curved like a professional iron should be, and is very "ergonomic"! I find it so easy to move and manuever. Every time I straighten my hair, the plates heat up just as hot as the first time I used it. The exterior surface is lightly cover with fabric so that it is easy to flip the ends of my hair. There are 25 settings for every type of hair! There is an on/off pad, but if you forget to turn it off, it shuts off autimatically, so no worries about leaving it on accidentally!

gettoracer says "Wonderful daily conditioner" about Garnier Fructis Fortifying Conditioner

gettoracer — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 09:39:03 GMT

Garnier Fructis has always been a brand that I have been satisfied with. Recently I have tried out the Granier Fructis Fortifying Coniditioner: Sleek and Shine Sheer for flyaway, frizzy, normal to fine hair (basically anyone can use it!). It contains lite nutritive fruit micro-oils, which make your hair soft and smooth. However, your hair is not weighed down by this product! When I use this, my hair is enhanced with brilliant shine! My hair stylist has commented on the smoothness and healthiness of my hair, as well as friends and family. According to the brand, after using your hair should be five times stronger, and four times smoother- I believe it. I do recommend using with the shampoo that matches, or any quality bran shampoo. Every couple weeks I also use the Garnier Fructis deep fortifying conditioner to add extra deep conditioning, and it makes my hair even softer and smoother. I find it very easy to straighten my hair when I use these products.
