gpruchniewski says "More than a memory is a GREAT song, worth buying the album" about Garth Brooks - The Ultimate Collection

gpruchniewski — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 19:40:36 GMT

Garth Brooks has a new album that is a "Greatest Hits" collection, it only has three new songs, but one of them, "More than a memory" is my new favorite song. It came out just in time as I am newly single and the song seems like it was written just for me.

I was reluctant to buy it and hoping the single would be available on iTunes (which it isn't). I went to WalMart and the 2 cd 1 DVD package was only $12 so I bought it. The DVD has many of Garth's video's including the one for "More than a Memory"

I am a huge country fan b/c I love the feelings in the music, and this song has tons of emotions for me. Anyone that just became "newly single" would love this song, I'd be willing to bet it describes everything you are feeling.

gpruchniewski says "Not the hype of an iPhone, but just as nice" about LG - enV VX9900 Cell Phone

gpruchniewski — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 19:28:25 GMT

THE LG EnV is a very practical phone, I love the fact that I can text with the front display or open it to use the full QWERTY keypad. The phone has navigation helping me find locations that are new, and not yet updated in my trucks navi-system. the speakers are a bit quiet so playing music without headphones isn't the greatest, but still not bad at all. The camera is 2.0 megapixels and takes very nice photo's. You can't e-mail any photo's taken larger than 800X600 so if you want bigger pictures, you will need the microSD card.

I like the style of the phone, and it has a ton of features including internet access.

gpruchniewski says "Gorgeous Watch" about Sturling - Original Normandy Grand Calender Automatic Watch

gpruchniewski — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 19:22:22 GMT

I love this watch, I really do, it's one of my favorites, I love the design, the feel, and just about everything about this watch. I do have one problem though. the watch has a self-winding feature and also has the knob to wind it manually.

I've used both throughout the week at work, winding it myself, and making sure to keep my arms in motion so the self-winding can take into effect. The watch instructions recommends winding the watch manually at least once a week. I've done that and a lot more, but yet, if I do not wear the watch over the weekend, it always stops sometime on Sunday. It's a little annoyance, but they do sell watch boxes that spins the watch so the self-winding will keep it running, and I do plan on buying that, but until then, I am prepared to reset the watch every monday morning.

gpruchniewski says "Best Club sandwhich EVER" about Bozzellies - Springfield, VA

gpruchniewski — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 19:04:53 GMT

Bozzelli's Deli Restaurant has the BEST club sandwhich I've EVER had in my entire life. The staff are friendly and very personable. I've had a few different sandwhiches and they all taste great, made fresh, and are very reasonably priced.

My only true grip about this place is that it is far from my home, but lucky for me it is near my work in Springfield Virgnina.

They also make this homemade tea with fruits in it, very possible to be the best tasting tea I've ever had.

gpruchniewski says "Wouldn't have it if it wasn't for SUNDAY NFL Season ticket" about DIRECTV

gpruchniewski — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 18:57:23 GMT

I have Direct TV only b/c it is the ONLY service provider that carries the rights to the NFL Sunday ticket. If it wasn't for that, I'd most likely have whatever the local cable company provides. I've never had a problem when calling their customer service numbers, but I do know that they outsource their techs that come to the house. These outsourced techs will do shotty work and half-ass EVERYTHING.

My biggest problem is that the signal drops even with the smallest amount of bad weather. Two weeks ago, I was waiting to watch a movie at 8pm and it became extremely cloudy outside, no rain, no wind, just cloudy, and my reception was gone. DirectTV claims 99% coverage if you have HD, which I do, and my signal still drops WAY to often.

On the postive side, they do have the most HD Channels.

gpruchniewski says "What a Sweet Ride" about Yamaha YZF-R1 - 2007 Motorcycle

gpruchniewski — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 14:20:09 GMT

The 2007 Yamaha R1 is a sweet, fast, reliable machine. I feel safe in corners, love the torque and accerlation, and really love how smooth this motorcycle feels overall. I love the look of the undertail exhaust, although that does lead to my one and only issue with the bike. The heat put off from the exhaust is let out directly at your feet and legs. Of course you should be wearing proper riding gear so this shouldn't affect you, but I don't, so it does. I'm told purchasing a carbon fibre (spelling) exhaust will help with this problem and will update this as soon as I buy one and find out first hand.

gpruchniewski says "I LOVE having all my music at the tip of my fingers" about Apple - iPod Classic Black Digital Media Player

gpruchniewski — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 14:20:09 GMT

I was against iPods as I was against PDA's, but the iPod actually won me over. I love having over 300+ CD's all on one small, portable device. Then, add to that the fact that I can download movies, TV shows, and music videos to watch and you have me sold. If you order directly from Apple off their website, they will engrave something on the back for you to personalize it.

gpruchniewski says "Greatest Truck I've ever owned" about Honda Ridgeline - 2006

gpruchniewski — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 14:20:08 GMT

I love my Honda Ridgeline. I bought it in July 2005 and to this day (Aug 2007) I am still absolutely in love with my truck. I have the fully loaded model and I love the sunroof, navigation, appearance (inside & outside) of my truck. It rides smooth, it hasn't had any problems or major recalls yet. I can't say enough good things about the truck. I will however, point out several things I hope have been, or will be fixed in new models.

1. Sunroof isn't one touch open/close. (You have to hold the button the entire time)

2. Window Lock - When you hit the windows lock button, NOT EVEN the driver can operate any windows other than the driver side. I think the driver should have access to open/close all windows when the windows are locked.

3. Navigation - When you are searching for a place by name, it NEVER finds the place near you. I was searching for McDonald's in Virginia and the first (closest) one pointed me to Alabama. It does this with everything. I'm hoping they fix...
