kelly913 says "They've been good to me." about State Farm

kelly913 — Wed, 07 May 2008 15:40:38 GMT

I have had coverage with State Farm for 16 years. I review rates about every year or tow and no one can come close to the low rate I have. When I passed the 10 year mark I was notified that I'd never be cancelled, unless I didn't pay my premium. I know the people in the office and it's helpful when I call....

kelly913 says "Great Convertible, poor engineering" about Chrysler Sebring - 2001

I loved this car for the first year or so that I had it. For a convertable sports car, it's fairly roomy. The top is easy to put down and raise. It has a computer display to show direction/temperature; trip odometer; engine hours; distance to empy (LOVE this feature!); overall mpg; and current mpg. The stereo is decent. The cloth top has remained in good shape despite the AZ sun.

Now for the drawbacks. I went a little too long w/o changing the oil and the price for that was a blown head gasket. It's a Mitsubishi engine that Mitsubishi didn't use because it's known to run hot. My temperature gauge never went beyond the halfway point of normal, even though it was frequently overheated. After paying about $1500 to replace the gasket and do the other needed repairs, something blew out on the bottom of the engine. Having no money left for repairs I was at the mercy of a very kind hearted friend who worked on it in his spare time. That took forever because of the lousy design...

kelly913 says "A Must Read for Parents of Boys" about James Dobson - Bringing Up Boys: Practical Advice and Encouragement for Those Shaping the Next Generation of Men Books

kelly913 — Sun, 18 Nov 2007 03:41:15 GMT

This book has been very helpful for me. My husband and I recently became foster parents to a two year old boy. Reading this book has helped me understand why boys like the things they like, and why letting him be a "boy" is good for him. The information is well researched and documented; easy to read; and there is information about applying the knowledge in raising a son. As an added bonus it has helped me understand my husband better!...

kelly913 says "Awesome Phone/mp3/camera!" about LG - enV VX9900 Cell Phone

I love this phone! The only thing I don't care for is the charging system. There's a 'door' over the slot where the plug goes and I don't like opening and closing it each time I charge the phone. That's usually only every other night though, as it has great battery power. My mom got one too so I can send her pictures of my little boy. Her peers think she's pretty cool having such a hip phone....

kelly913 says "Wonderful kitchen tool." about Pampered Chef Garlic Press

kelly913 — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 18:38:41 GMT

This garlic press is fabulous! You don't have to peel the garlic before putting it through the press, simply put the clove into the slot and press. The garlic comes out into your recipe and the peel stays behind. There's a handy little loot attached for removing the skin afterwards and cleaning the holes....
