jengirl483 says "Wealth of pertinent info" about TripAdvisor

jengirl483 — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 23:34:15 GMT

It really is the first place I go before looking into a destination or a hotel. Great forums, good reviews. But, always keep in mind that reviews are all relative and sometimes they are worse than they say and sometimes they are better.

But, I do love this site.

jengirl483 says "Below par" about Comfort Suites Airport - Columbus, OH

jengirl483 — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 23:12:58 GMT

We were only staying there from 11 pm to 4 am to sleep and catch an early flight out of CMH. They gave us the room by the hall door and it made the most noise I have ever heard! The room was lacking, there was dust everywhere and they hadn’t clean deeply in a LONG time. The drapes did not cover the window completely and the light from there outside sign was very bright. We both got little to no sleep that night.

They do not mention on their website that if you book the special internet price you have to pay $10 a day to park and fly (totally misleading). For what we paid (as what seems to be a normal rate), we should have gotten park-fly free. This hotel is not a good value.

Only slightly redeeming factor was when I complained they credited me a small portion of the stay (not even enough to cover tax).

Terrible and in need of an update, deep clean and better business practices. Will NEVER stay there again.

jengirl483 says "Long time dog owner, work with dogs" about Dog Chihuahas

Sometimes, when dogs get a lot of attention and become very popular, like the Chihuahua has, they become subject to poor breeding. Many people are only out to make a buck and they breed their dogs irresponsibly and the puppies turn out to have severe health and personality problems. I have worked with many sweet, well behaved Chihuahua that have come out of responsible breeders homes and I have worked with some that were obviously bought at a pet store or an irresponsible breeder that are terrors both medically and behaviorally. While I have seen some that are great that come from poor breeding and vice versa, you really need to research where the puppy comes from and never make an implosive purchase. Chihuahua’s can be wonderful companions and do wonderfully with gentle, responsible children and they can also be terrors and bite and become out of control.

It is a little dog that comes with a warning to be sure…just watch.

jengirl483 says "Great fun, easy vacationing idea" about Carnival Cruise Lines - Glory

jengirl483 — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 21:58:34 GMT

While carnival and a lot of other cruise lines have their drawbacks, there are many things to love about the glory. Nightly dinner is fabulous and the staff is very nice and attentive. The rooms are nice and the beds are very comfy. We went on the eastern glory cruise to Nassau, St Thomas and St Maarten - we loved St Thomas and St Maarten (that is why we chose this cruise) but we weren’t thrilled with Nassau and next time will just stay on the boat and enjoy the spa and the pool instead.

If you aren’t taking the, I would recommend going during school months because it is hands down the way to go. On average there are very few children running around and causing trouble during non-school-vacation months, and the children that are there seem to be better behaved. If you don’t have kids or are trying to get away from them for awhile a cruise during school breaks can ruin a cruise for you (just a hint I learned the hard way once, but never again).

Only thing my husband did...

jengirl483 says "Haven't been addicted to anything on TV like this since Friends!" about The Office

jengirl483 — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 21:47:12 GMT

The characters are relatable and it is a “smart” and “dense” comedy all at the same time. While it may not appeal to everyone, it is a very well thought out comedy (though I will admit it has slipped recently into more of an “obvious” humor…but I think that is only because they want to increase their viewers, which I am fine with--the more people that like it the longer it will hang around!) That’s what she said.

Now that is in re-runs because of the strike and the holiday seasons, it is a great time to catch-up and really get into The Office.

jengirl483 says "Love this brand of shampoo" about Dove Shampoo - All Types

jengirl483 — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 21:34:28 GMT

I love dove shampoo, i have used the one for dark color treated hair and the general normal hair one as well. It always leaves my hair soft and manageable. I also use their leave in spray conditioner and it GREAT for fly-always and static electricity!
