jennyb7 says "Simply Awesome..." about Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for Xbox 360

jennyb7 — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 01:41:23 GMT

COD 4 has outstanding graphics, amazing gameplay, and more glitches than you can count! There's a number of different matches to choose from, which varies the intensity of the game. You have a variety of weaponry at your disposal, and accrue more as you make your way through the ranks, based on the number of "kills" you have acquired (this can be a long and tedious process). I really can't find anything wrong with this game! Enjoy!...

jennyb7 says "Is the xbox 360 for you? Find out here!" about Microsoft - Xbox 360 Premium Console

Xbox is just plain fun! It's great to play with other people from around the world...The graphics are outstanding, as well as the gameplay. However, the Xbox 360 has its drawbacks. At times it is difficult to load games. Sometimes the system crashes and you are unable to access the "marketplace." And of course, the main drawback to Xbox is the so called "red ring of death" When you see a red light around your console, either partly or fully, you know there is a SEVERE problem and a good chance you'll be shipping it back to Microsoft. My son has gone through 3 xboxes, but believe it or not, he wouldn't trade it for the world!...

jennyb7 says "Fun...but make sure you know about the WHOLE kit...." about Xbox 360 - Rock Band

I really enjoy this game! We bought it for my son for Christmas (age 12), but we could only find the individual game disc, not the pack with all of the guitars, drums, etc. When we went back to purchase at least a guitar, we were told they don't make them "yet" but we could use a Guitar Hero guitar, though it wouldn't be exactly the same. If we were to go back and purchase a full kit, we would be getting another disc, which we wouldn't need. I think selling the pieces individually would be a good idea.

I know this sounds like a negative review, but the singing part of the game is just a blast! My son and I sing together, using the mic that comes with X Box and a wireless mic we have. It's really easy to learn, and as you progress, your name gets put up in lights on the various venues you are playing. When you earn "cash" you can outfit your character, which my son finds cool. They play a lot of old school songs, and I have downloaded songs from the x-box for about 140...

jennyb7 says "Really Delicious......Can You Eat Just One?" about Dove Cocoavia Chocolate Snack bar

jennyb7 — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 08:05:30 GMT

I found CocoaVia bars when they first came out, at Walgreens. They were being sold individually for about .59 cents. Of course, I bought one and I was hooked! Its a very dense tasting chocolate, if that makes any sense! Really smooth and delicious. However, when I went to buy more, I found they cost $4.99 for a pack of 5. For the size of each bar,, 5 bucks seems a little pricey...I know, the packaging guilts you into spending more, because it has the little healthy heart symbol on it! But I dunno, I buy it a lot less because of the price....

jennyb7 says "I love my XM!" about XM Satellite Radio

jennyb7 — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 07:27:55 GMT

I've been an XM subscriber for over 2 1/2 years. Now it's become the background of my life!
My favorite stations are 202 and 164. 202 is the Virus, which plays Opie and Anthony and Ron and Fez all day. I am a much bigger fan of Ron & Fez...they are more of an edgy, intelligent extreme talk show, while O& A can have more of a frat house humor. Both contain "extreme language", but you can have the channel (and other channels such as extreme rap and metal) blocked. 164 has old time radio shows. Now, I am nowhere near that age....but it's really cool to fall asleep to real classics, such as the Lone Ranger, The Shadow, and Jack Benny. XM has many news and sports stations as well. The only problem is, they all run commercials to an extent. Only the purely music channels are commercial free. The reception at home is fine....however, my husband brings a portable unit to work, and he tends to lose reception. You can, however, record up to 5 hours of programming,......

jennyb7 says "It's nice to find a movie that just keeps you smiling!" about Hairspray

jennyb7 — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 07:08:05 GMT

Just a feel good movie! I saw it twice in the theater...bought the DVD the day it came out! I convinced my husband to give it a look, and he gave me the "sigh and eye roll" but 5 minutes into the first song he was hooked! I teach developmentally disabled adults, and was able to use this movie to tie in the Civil Rights Movement. ...

jennyb7 says "I Love My UGGS....but they can get grungy!" about Ugg - Australia Classic Short For Women

jennyb7 — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 06:50:50 GMT

My UGGS are absolutely the warmest thing going! And without socks! My only complaint is that the ones I have are a light tan, which totally pick up dirt. I have tried to use suede cleaner....to no avail! I would definitely purchase another pair, but this time in a darker color.......

jennyb7 says "2 Superbowl Surprises...a Giants Win and Frank's Red Hot!" about Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce

jennyb7 — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 06:29:55 GMT

I decided to make buffalo wings for the superbowl. I picked up Franks since it was right next to the frozen wings! I'm glad I did! The Franks website suggested using margarine to make the taste "more original" The wings came out great...not overly spicy, with a great taste. I actually impressed all the hard to please guys in my life :-)...
