intheclds says "Great car" about Subaru Forester - 2002

intheclds — Wed, 06 May 2009 14:39:09 GMT

This is a great car and I am so glad I purchased it. It has every thing I would want and has a few little extras that are always nice to have. The sunroof is one of my favorite things about the car. It is oversized and lets in plenty of light and I always get comments on it from people when they are riding in the car.

There are a few negatives I have found though. First of all because the sunroof is so huge it is specially made and therefore the motor parts can only come from a dealership and therefore is really expensive to replace. I found this out the hard way. The timing belt must also be replace around the 100 thousand mile mark and can be expensive as well. However, if this is the largest expense on the car I am willing to put up with it. Especially since these types of cars are supposed to have very long lifes.

The back seat is another issue I have found to be a problem. I am a person with very long legs and so when I put the drivers side seat to the position...

intheclds says "Nice but doesn't really seem to do much" about Aveeno Ultra-Calming Moisturizing Cream

intheclds — Wed, 06 May 2009 14:32:46 GMT

Well, I bought this product on sale at CVS and decided to give a try since I like trying new things and I was able to get it at a really low cost. I use it as part of my daily routine to put on my face in the morning. I don't know if is supposed to have a calming effect but it does feel rather nice on. However, beyond that I really see no benefit to the cream. Maybe after a longer period of use I will start to see some real effect.

It is a bit pricier than some of the other creams on the market and so I would not have normally purchased it unless I could have gotten it as cheap as I did. Although the aveeno brand is one that I like I don't often purchase it becuase of the price difference. I can get the store brand that probably works just as well at about half or sometimes a third of the cost. If you are looking just for a nice cream I think I would go with the less expensive brand and not worry about the brand name stuff.

intheclds says "Great movie for everyone!!" about Finding Nemo

intheclds — Wed, 06 May 2009 14:25:36 GMT

I absolutley love Finding Nemo! Not only is it great for kids but it also has some adult humor that everyone else can enjoy as well. What is not to love about this movie. Great actors, great animation. It's Pixar, and every movie they have come out with so far has been great.

I could watch this movie over and over again and still love it. I can't wait to buy it one blue ray and see it in 1080p. I am sure this will make the animation even better since every cartoon looks better in 1080p.

I even find that some people actually quote the movie because everyone seems to love it that much. Seriously, if you did not like this movie, there must be something wrong with you. This is a great flick and any one can enjoy it.

Even if dorie can get a little annoying. Ok, I can see you not liking the movie if you don't like elen. But beyond that it is a wonderful family oriented movie with lots to offer to every kind of movie lover.

intheclds says "Works great, but don't want to pay for updates." about Garmin - StreetPilot c550

intheclds — Wed, 06 May 2009 14:18:57 GMT

I brought this on sale a few years ago and it has been a life saver ever since. I have moved twice and could not have found my way around without it! I am constantly saying how glad I am to have it and what a great investment it has been.

I have had some problems with the system however. Sometimes, it seems to not tell me that there is a turn approaching if I am going at a low speed or if I have traveled that location many times before. Also, it will sometimes tell me that there is a better route available and then nothing else. What does that mean? If there is a better route available shouln't I be taking that instead? Am I not understanding something here? I never saw anything about that in the user guide, but it seems kind of ridiculous to tell me there is a better route available and not take me to it. I say in this instance ignorance is bliss if the machine is not going to do anything about it.

One last thing is the cost to update the system for new points of...

intheclds says "Weight Watchers works well if you can stick with it." about Weight Watchers

intheclds — Wed, 06 May 2009 14:11:48 GMT

I have used the Weight Watchers program before and was really excited to start the program. I received a lot of extra stuff from when my mom joined and then her group stopped because there was not enough interest. I decided to try it on my own since I could not afford to pay the meeting expenses. I did stick to it for a while but then every once and a while I would forget to check a points or forget to write something down. I think it would have been beneficial if there was a group I could go to every week. I think the group creates, not only support, but a kind of embarrassment to perform and gives that extra motivation because otherwise everyone will know that you didn't try your best that week. That peer pressure is a real motivator.

The points system itself isn't so bad and it did actually work but without motivation the whole system falls apart. Ans I like the fact that after I lost the weight I could switch to the healthy life style and maintain that good weight...
