jank1708 says "the little red car" about Little Tikes

jank1708 — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 23:13:07 GMT

Oh my Goodness!! Are you talking about the Little Tykes little red cozy coupe car. This little red car was one of my children's favorite outside toys. They absolutely loved it. It is one of the most durable outside toys, as it lasted through three of my children over and above ten years. Even when my children would have their friends over to play, everyone raced to ride in the red car. It was moved by their own feet, nothing fancy with a motor or run on batteries, and it was the ultimate car. My daughter drove to the pretend store in it putting little things into the little back trunk. My boys drove around in it like they were grown men riding in a fancy sportscar. This was one of the best purchases that I ever made. My children had hours and hours of outside fun in this little car. I don't know if they make it anymore, as I no longer have young children in my house, But it was the best toy ever!

jank1708 says "my son's favorite" about LEGO

jank1708 — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:56:00 GMT

Legos..Have a little boy who likes to biuld things,these are the toys for you. Lego has the greatest biulding sets around, from builders of a very young age to builders who are much older. My one son, between the ages of nine through thirteen would be building continuously with his lego sets. He would ask for a new set every time we went to the store. He would ask for lego sets for his birthday and for Christmas. I had lego sets everywhere. And try stepping on one of those little pieces...Ow! He tried to get me to but almost all the sets out there and some of them were very expensive. He would build and build and build every day all day. These sets kepy him out of trouble and helped to keep his mind busy. I was amazed how he could follow the instructions all by himself. So, hands up to the lego company for all the hours and hours of building fun that my son had as a young boy. I would recommend buying a lego building set to anyone who has a child that enjoys building...

jank1708 says "well worth it" about American Girl Dolls

jank1708 — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:44:12 GMT

American Girls Dolls are simply the best. I thought, at one point in time, that they would be a complete waste of money to purchase. But when I decided to purchase one for each of my grand-daughters for Christmas last year, the look of amazement and happiness on their two little faces when they opened their gift and saw the American girl dolls, meant everything to me. They were so happy to have these dolls that I would probably buy them another one next Christmas if I knew that I would see their faces light up like this again. These dolls go everywhere with my two grand-daughters. They love to change the dolls clothes and ,Yes, I did buy some of those expensive American girl doll clothes. I really don't understand what is so different about having an American girl doll instead of some other doll, but according to my two doll experts, Emmi and Autumn, these dolls are a must.And they are so great!!!

jank1708 says "best out there" about Crayola

jank1708 — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:34:32 GMT

I would like to say that crayola makes the best products out there for children to use their imagination in the field of art expression. Anything made by this company from their crayons to their paint makes colors come to life on whatever you put them on to. Children have always enjoyed expressing themselves through the art medium and to have such bright and brilliant colors through crayola it just makes the art much more enjoyable for the kids. Crayola products do not have a waxy film covering them like so many other products do. I never choose any other art product for my children or to use at school with the students that I teach becuase I know that I can depend on crayola to turn out the best results with each project I do. Crayola has so many wonderful different art supplies and art activity kits out there for one to purchase. When purchasing a gift for any child, I almost always find myself looking at one of crayola's great art kits to buy as their present.. It is guaranteed...

jank1708 says "kids love buses" about Little People School Bus

jank1708 — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:21:39 GMT

WOW! The little people school bus is still available as a toy to purchase. I am looking at the picture of the bus and it looks different than the little people school bus that I bought years ago for my own children who are now in their late twenties. But once a classic always a classic, and this will remain a classic for years to come.. Even though the bus has changed it's appearance a little, for somme reason children love yellow school buses. This toy is great for kids, as they love to put the little people into the seats and take them for a ride. Then they stop the bus, take all the little people out of the bus. Then they start all over again and take the little people for another ride. Besides having the little people school bus , there are many other little people toys and children enjoy playing with them all. However, this one seems to be one of the favorites of most children.

jank1708 says "great for building" about Tinker Toys Building set

jank1708 — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:10:48 GMT

Tinker toys building sets are one of the best classic toys which have been around for years and years. I am over fifty years young and these were available when I was just a kid. I always envied any other child in the neighborhood who was lucky enough to have a tinker toy building set to play with at their house. I never had a set of my own, but always wanted a set. I would love to go over to my friends houses who had tinket toys. I could biuld with them all day long. Tinker toys can be used to make some really cool things. Although you would have to keep them away from very small children as they could choke on some of the smaller pieces in the building set. I do like the fact that nowadays they have made a set of tinker toys for younger children which have much bigger pieces than the original biulding sets. They also are made of plastic instead of wood like the orininal tinker toys building sets were made of. MAny children still enjoy playing with tinker toys.

jank1708 says "It's just okay!" about Hershey's - Three Musketeers

jank1708 — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:46:10 GMT

The Three Musketeers candy bar made by Hershey's is just an okay candy bar. I know that it is a light and fluffy candy bar but it just doesn't do it for me. I like something that has a little bit more of a chocolatey taste to it. It kind of feels like your eating a diet treat becuase there is really no taste to it. However, I will grab it once in a while if it is the only "chocolate treat available. But I resally do prefer other Hershey candy bar much more than this candy bar. Oh well, some like it.

jank1708 says "Hot hot hot" about Ferrara Pan - Red Hots (Cinnamon Flavored Candies)

jank1708 — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:34:51 GMT

If you want one of the hottest candies around, guaranteed, you need to get some red hots. It is the hottest red cinnamon candies that I have ever tried. It is one of those candies that you either really love or really just can't stand. Personally, I am one of those people that really can't stand the cinn amon, burning, hot, read things that are supposed to be "candy". Wow!! Not my idea a a good tasting thing called candy. Thses things are too hot and just plain old nasty tasting. I never never will buy these things. Yuck!!!

jank1708 says "yummy treat" about Hershey's - chocolate

jank1708 — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:25:49 GMT

Hershey's chocolate is the best chocolate there is! Guaranteed! You know that if you get any thing made from Hersheys you will get a great tasting treat. My favorite bar is the plain bar with nothing in it, you know the bar with the brown hershey's wrapper. However, the chocolate bar with the almonds if pretty good, too. Don't forget that you can get a bag of Hersheys miniatures and then you have five great hershey candies to chose from. Though, I still pick out the original plain bar from the five that are in the bag. All of them are yummy.

jank1708 says "yummy" about Mars - Twix Original Cookie Bar

jank1708 — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:16:03 GMT

Twix is on of my most favorite cookies, or should I say candy, bars. I think of Twix as being a candy bar. It is absolutely great tasting.. It has chocolate,caramel, and cookie all in one treat. It is absolutely delicious. I would recommend this treat to everyone I know becuase it satisfies your cravings for chocolate as well as giving you the crunch of a cookie at the same time. Every single bite has chocolate, caramel, and cookie in it. It is one great tasting treat all wrapped up in one. Yummy!!

jank1708 says "favorite as a kid" about Necco - Wafers

jank1708 — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:09:57 GMT

WOW! What a great candy. Ever since I was a young child, this has been one of my favorite candies. I had my favorite color, too, Of course it was the brown ones and there never was enpough of them in the roll. Others had their favorite color, too. So, if you were lucky you could trade for your favorite. These candies are not that popular, now, but people shoulod resally try them. They will become hooked on them as I did. Great candy that has lasted for many years. i love them.

jank1708 says "great" about Top 10 John Travolta Movies

jank1708 — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 02:51:24 GMT

John TRavolta is one of my most favorite male actors. I feel that any movie that has him in it will be a good movie. My all time favorite movie that he was in was Grease. He was soooooooo good-looking and his dancing was hot. I thought another one of his really good movies was Face-Off. Watching him change personalities when his face changed was really good acting. Pulp fiction was another great movie that he starred in. Personally, I have seen every movie that he has been in and loved him in all of them.

jank1708 says "60ish" about MAD MEN

jank1708 — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 02:39:25 GMT

Mad Men was a television show that I never heard of until recently. I didn't particullarly like the show, but my husband tivoed it and watched it one episode after another. I found myself sitting right along with him waiting to see what happened next. It was kind of addicting. I really don't believe that people who worked for big companies in the 60's acted like these people. Granted they did treat secretaries the way they do in Mad Men, but did all men have affairs while their wife thought they were working Late? Be real!!!

jank1708 says "love it" about CSI NY

jank1708 — Tue, 26 May 2009 00:59:23 GMT

CSI New York is one of my favorite tv shows. I love watching the CSi team solve crimes. The entire team is so smart and they can think of the smartest way to solve things. They have some extra ordinary cases to solve and I find it extremely interesting to see how they solve the cases. My favorite episodes were the 333 episodes where Mac was being called every day at 3:33. He took several episodes to figure it out. Also, when they had the cabbie killer episodes they were the best. I watch this show every week.

jank1708 says "horrible show" about Swingtown

jank1708 — Tue, 26 May 2009 00:49:09 GMT

Swing Town is one of the worst shows that I have ever watched on tv. It is absolutely ridiculous to move to a town where everybody swings. These people were totally against the idea of swapping partners and by the end of the show, they all were doing it with each other and it didn"t really bother any of them. I thought this was a really stupid idea for a show. There Are people who have this sort of life style, but to make people who were against this all eventually think it was ok, was just a ridiculous type of show. Glad it is no longer on tv.

jank1708 says "smartest judge according to her" about Judge Judy

jank1708 — Tue, 26 May 2009 00:39:11 GMT

My husband is a fanatic when it comes to judge shows. He has at least ten Judge Judy shows tivoed a all times and he sits and watches them all in a row. He really enjoys watching her try to intimidate the people who come to her court room. She does know the law but can be very rude and over-bearing to the people involved in her cases. I would just die if I ever had to go to court and walked in and she was my judge. She would definately scared me to death. The cases are sometimes extremely ridiculous that people would sue for the things that they do.

jank1708 says "hilarious show" about Two and a Half Men

jank1708 — Sun, 10 May 2009 19:30:54 GMT

Two and a Half Men is a great show. It is so funny. The brothers being the exact opposite and living together is a great plot. The things that happen to them on the show is sometimes so outrageous and hilarious that you laugh out loud while you are watching. The person that really makes the show is the son of the nerdy brother. His comments are superb. He actually has some really funny one liners. The alcoholic womanizer has so many problems as well as the super nerd. They clash so often but then trully do care for each other. I think this show is great.

jank1708 says "outlandish" about Dexter

jank1708 — Sun, 10 May 2009 19:23:14 GMT

Dexter is a horrible tv show. Its so unbelieveable that they never seem to realize that the killer is really one of their own team members. It is also extremely gorey all the blood and hacking up of people. No one knows that it is Dexter doing all these murders. It is just so unbelieveable. And then he has this girlfriend who is so sweet and he's going to marry her.My husband really liked this show but I did not. And he watched every episode and wanted to but it on dvd when it comes out.

jank1708 says "great burgers" about Sonic Drive In - All locations, US

jank1708 — Sun, 10 May 2009 19:14:27 GMT

The best fast food restarant in the United States is Sonic. My daughter told me about this fast food chain after she had been on a long car trip across many states. She called me up after she ate at a Sonic restaurant and just raved on and on about how good it was. When she got back from her trip, she got on the internet to find the nearest Sonic to where we live. She was so upset because it was a three hour drive to the nearest Sonic. She actually made the trip a few times just because the food was so good there. We are very lucky because a few months ago, they opened up a Sonic about ten minutes from our house. To my amazement, the food was very very good. My daughter is so happy to have this great fast sood restaurant right inour neighborhood.
