labboz says "Bounce Dryer Bar passes the test" about Bounce Dryer Bar

labboz — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:21:25 GMT

I am a self-employed home business owner and do about 3 loads of laundry per week. I have had the Bounce Dryer Bar in my dryer for a total of 9 loads now. I like that you don't have to put a dryer sheet in for every load. It was tricky to break this habit at first. I kept reaching for a dryer sheet. I feel like I am helping the environment even if only the slightest bit by eliminating my dryer sheets from going to the landfill. The scent from the bar is not as strong as the sheets but it is pleasant. Our clothes came out smelling fresh and seemed to be just as soft as before. I have not had any static in my clothes yet but we are just getting to the days of heat running in the home. It will be interesting to see how the Bounce Dryer Bar does with static. If it passes that test I see no reason not to continue using it and buying refill bars when needed.

labboz says "Somewhat dissapointed in Windex Outdoor All-in-one cleaner" about Windex Outdoor All-In-One Window Cleaner

labboz — Tue, 12 May 2009 20:36:03 GMT

After waiting for the weather to cooperate, My husband finally got the chance to try the Windex Outdoor All-in-One Window Cleaner. While it did make it easier to reach the windows, it did not seem to be great at cleaning them. The pad kept falling off or shifting out of place so I would suggest a stronger velcro. I must say that was very dissapointing. I don't think I will order any of the refill pads. It is better to just use a sponge.

labboz says "Bring your appetite!" about Famous Dave's - Waldorf, MD

labboz — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 17:43:49 GMT

We finally agreed to try Famous Dave's because we won a gift card. I was not sure what to expect since I had heard mixed reviews from friends. The menu had plenty to choose from but all of the meals looked to be huge. This was great for my Husband. We really liked the atmosphere and the service was very friendly. The food was good although I thought the rib tips were a little on the fatty side. I liked the small jar of sauce that we were given by the manager as a first time visitor. That was a nice touch. We still prefer Red Hot and Blue by far.

labboz says "As close to Pennsylvania as I have tasted" about Johnsonville Stadium Brats

labboz — Wed, 28 May 2008 19:43:57 GMT

My Husband and I love the Johnsonville Stadium Brats. They have plenty of flavor and are great on the grill. Just add Spicey Brown Mustard and Sauerkrout and they are good to go. Not as good as getting fresh from the butcher but a good choice. Very inexpensive meal and takes only minutes to grill....

labboz says "The only thing that has lowered in cost this year." about Erie Insurance

labboz — Wed, 07 May 2008 16:49:00 GMT

I have been with the Erie Insurance Group for several years now. The agents are very professional and a great help. The cost of my premiums has actually come down each year. I have multiple vehicles, Homeowners and Business Insurance through Erie. I get a discount for safe driving habits and for having multiple policies. You can even get the bills consolidated into one. From what my friends and family tell me they pay for insurance, I am doing great to stay with Erie....

labboz says "Real life events that can push teens in the "right" direction." about Friday Night Lights

labboz — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:44:31 GMT

I really enjoy Friday Night Lights. It reminds me of Dawson's Creek which I was a fan of also. I like watching the characters grow up as they encounter life's little hurdles. Some of the storylines have been a little extreme but I feel the actors are great and make the characters seem believable. This show can help you teach your young adults-teens some valuable lessons in humility and integrity. Who couldn't use more of that these days?...

labboz says "Check out Will's body" about I Am Legend (2007)

labboz — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 21:01:50 GMT

I love Wil Smith so went right out and saw I am Legend. I can tell you that it was not an easy movie to watch. I liked the story line but being a huge Animal Lover it was tough to watch this one. Will Smith as usual was excellent in this role. Make sure you check out his body. The story was futuristic but believable. I would not necessarily see it again but do recommend it....

labboz says "Definitely not Happy Feet" about March of the Penguins 2005

labboz — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 23:11:17 GMT

Wow. Not at all what I expected. I can't even imagine having a life like that. I felt so bad for those beautiful, dedicated animals. After watching Happy Feet it was quite an awakening. Not sure I would reccomend this movie for younger kids. The reality of the hard life in the Antartic might be a little hard for them to take. Wonderful production. Very informative. Would have expected this on Discovery or the Animal Planet....

labboz says "What is up with Target these days?" about Target

labboz — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 23:03:14 GMT

I have really been dissapointed in the latest offerings by Target. The fashion department is priced too highly for a store of that type. Plus the selection is very limited. I couldn't even find a casual shirt for my Husband. What about the Groceries? For a Mass Market Store it certainly doesn't have competitive prices. What a dissapointment. On the bright side they do have a nice selection of Dog Toys and Treats. Still do I need to go to a store just for that? I'll stick with WalMart....

labboz says "The pulled pork sandwich is AWESOME!" about Red Hot & Blue - Waldorf, MD

labboz — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 22:53:46 GMT

You must go to Red Hot & Blue Barbeque Restaurant. They have the moistest pulled pork I have ever tasted. Generous portions and served very quickly. Don't forget to try Grandma's Potato Salad. That is the real reason I go there! Seriously, we have never had bad food or service at Red Hot & Blue. They seem to appreciate each customer. Attentive and friendly from the moment you walk in. Not bad on the family budget either....

labboz says "I love the chemistry between the characters in this show." about Men in Trees

labboz — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 22:44:16 GMT

Men in Trees is one of the most entertaining shows I have seen in some time. Such a great mix of personalities. The cast is wonderfully put together. If you like Romantic Comedies than this is a show for you. Why did ABC move it to Friday Nights? I have to watch it on my computer at a different date and time. Still, I never miss an episode. No heavy drama just good clean fun....

labboz says "Finally a pair of jeans that is comfortable in the petite sizes!" about Lee Jeans Natural Fit Stretch - Just Below the Waist Jeans

labboz — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 22:36:29 GMT

Lee Jeans w/comfort waistband are great. The Petite sizes are actually proportioned correctly. The rise is truly just below the waist. Length is perfect. No need to fold up. Only problem is where can I find them?! I was able to get them at a Prime Outlet and fell in love with them right away. Now I need to get some more and different shades. It is so hard to find jeans to fit me at 5'4" that are stylish and comfortable. Yeah Lee Jeans....

labboz says "Has made a dramatic difference in the way my dog walks and moves" about Hills Prescription Diet J/D

labboz — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 03:39:07 GMT

J/D by Hills Prescription Diet was recommended by my Vet. I noticed a difference in the way Sheeba walked within the first 3 weeks. Sheeba, a 10yr old Chessie/Lab female is no longer limping and can get up and down steps much easier. She even started playing in the house again. At $55 for a 30lb bag it has to be effective in order for me to be able to justify the expense. I was also able to stop using supplements for arthritis symptoms....
