kat9948 says "Has gotten me through High School and College" about Texas Instruments - TI83

kat9948 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:13:34 GMT

I got this calculator years ago. I'm graduating college in 2 months (and counting!) and it's still the only calculator that I turn to for every class. The display is large and I love being able to see what I just typed in so I can fix it if I made a mistake. It has plenty of memory, so I was able to download games and other software to use when I was in a boring class. :) The graphing function is fairly easy to use and it can do a lot of mathmatical equations and functions. My favorite thing on it is the fraction to decimal capability for those days when I don't want to have to do it in my head. It is durable, and I have dropped mine many times with no problems. The battery life is extremely long too. I believe I have only had to change the batteries 2 or 3 times in the last 6 years with extensive use. Awesome calculator for anyone level of math.

kwhipkey says "So worth the price." about Coach purse

kwhipkey — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:11:57 GMT

In general I have found that Coach purses offer exceptional style and great quality. I personally own two coach purses and I use them ALL the time. They are actually the only purses I ever use any more. Coach tends to have such a classic style that can be dressed up or down. The quality of the leather (as both of mine are) is unbeaten and still looks amazing after a year of serious use. I love how "smart" the bags are with perfectly placed and sized pockets for my cell phone, iPod, and other purse esstentials. Someone obviously put a lot of thought into what a woman wants and needs in her purse. I have yet to meet a person who dislikes their Coach bad (which might be why people often have so many of them!) I know I could go to some cheaper store for a purse or buy a knockoff, but in the end you are just wasting money because you have to replace them all the time! I am planning to continue buying the Coach brand in the future.

h3art2h0m3 says "It makes the perfect personal gift." about Memory Maker - 6 Frame Stretch Bracelet Square Silver

h3art2h0m3 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:11:44 GMT

The Memory Maker photo bracelet is one of the best gifts I ever received from my son. It has a simple but beautiful pattern with easy to install photo slots in each square. The lack of writing or theme allows one to make their own. Mine had figures in my family. Other options might be pets, sports, wedding the list only stops with the imagination.

In the past my son has gifted me with painted rocks, Popsicle stick picture frames, bead bracelets, and other loving childhood gifts. My favorite is when he tried to microwave eggs for breakfast in bed because he's not allowed to use the stove. This was a whole different level! I would have felt touched if it was from my husband or sister. It is professional enough people have asked me where I had it made! I even wore it to a job interview and a wedding.

It must have been difficult for him to find exact ally the right size photo (an adult could go to any scrap booking or photo place and have it resized). I felt terrible that it does...

treblegnome says "Liberty is a great school, I am glad I chose to attend!" about Liberty University - Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education

treblegnome — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:11:36 GMT

I have been attending Liberty University online since August of this year. I am working on a double major in Accounting and Education. Liberty's online classes are great because I am able to complete my education on my own schedule. I have four kids at home and work part time, my online classes are a perfect way to finish my education and take as little time away from my family as possible. Most of my classes consist of online video lectures, online quizzes, textbook readings, and some classroom interaction by posting to class forums. There are some Bible/Christian courses required for all students, if you are a conservative Christian you will probably really enjoy these classes. As a more liberal Christian myself, I did not personally agree with all the aspects of the Bible classes but the quality of the other courses and the convenience of an online education made it well worth listening to a few lectures I didn't agree with. Liberty is an acredited school and accepts federal financial...

zadarlta says "The Worst Customer Service I Have Ever Experienced" about National Car Rental

zadarlta — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:08:23 GMT

On October 30th, 2009 I rented a compact vehicle from National and Returned it Tuesday the 3rd of November. On my way to the San Diego, CA drop off location I got lost and was in a hurry to catch my flight to new york.

Upon dropping off the car I forgot to grab my Garmin NUVI navigational system because I was in such a hurry. I realized I didn't have it with me upon boarding the flight to new york. I immediately called their customer service and told a man about my situation and he told me he would call me back within 48 hours. Two days passed and nothing was reported back to me. So i called again and this time i was directed to the lost and found department. I could not get ahold of anybody so I left a message on their answering machine.

I kept doing this for 5 days straight. Still NO ONE reponded back. Finally I got so fed up that I called the main toll free number and demanded service, and alll they could tell me was that "the car was checked by many people and nothing...

this2shallpass19 says "This shower gel smells just like freshly cut oranges!" about Yves Rocher Florida Orange Shower Gel

this2shallpass19 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:06:46 GMT

I love all things with a citrus scent, so when I placed my first order at Yves Rocher a couple months ago, I definitely had to add Yves Rocher Florida Orange Shower Gel to my order.

Yves Rocher describes this product as: "Florida oranges are renowned for their sweet, abundant juice. This delightful gel forms a lush lather, bursting with the energizing freshness of sunkissed oranges."

What I like about Yves Rocher Florida Orange Shower Gel is the amazing scent. It smells just like freshly cut juicy oranges mixed with orange candy. If you like citrus scents, or orange in particular, you would love the way this smells! What I don't like about this product is the fact that it is made with not-so-great ingredients. The Yves Rocher website does not include an ingredients list for their products, so when I purchased this, I had no idea what was in it.

It does lather nicely in the shower and it smells amazing, but I would not have bought it had I known what it was made out of. ...

GreyAdvocateMom says "Awesome conditioner that actually works!!" about Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Moisture Balance Conditioner

GreyAdvocateMom — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:05:21 GMT

This stuff really works! It is inexpensive and probably the best conditioner I have ever used! You just can't beat it! I don't like the fact that Pantene is not animal friendly and wish there were alternatives, but this stuff works so well on my dry hair... I relent and buy it anyway... all I can do is encourage P&G to get out of animal testing and then I will be happy to buy their products! For now, this is the only P&G product I will buy... I have tried everything else... and nothing even compares to how good this conditioner is.

kat9948 says "BGE is a great investment for awesome food!" about Big Green Egg Big Green Egg

kat9948 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:04:13 GMT

My husband was bugging me to get him a Big Green Egg (BGE) for his birthday this year, so I finally caved and got it. It was more expensive than I wanted to pay, so I was leary about how good a grill it would be and was hoping it wouldn't disappoint. It definitely didn't! This grill/smoker/oven is fantastic! Everything we have cooked on it has come out great. It's good for beginners since it's nearly impossible to mess up the food. We've smoked ribs, grilled salmon, steaks, chicken, and more. We even made pretzels in it. They all came out great. My husband said it is awesome how moist everything comes out. We never got that on our old BBQ. The only drawback on the grill is you have to be careful when lifting the lid. If you do it too quickly the top vent flies off and hits the ground. It is fairly expensive (we got the medium sized one) but it truly is worth the investment.

kwhipkey says "Makes the game even better!" about Parker Brothers Scrabble Deluxe Turntable Edition

kwhipkey — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:02:01 GMT

The Scrabble Deluxe Turntable Edition was a Christmas gift for me last year and I enjoy playing it all the time. I had recently rediscoverd how much I enjoy this game and was looking for a replacement for the old dented board my family has owned for about 20 years! This edition is awesome! I love how compact it is, which makes it easy to carry anywhere. The drawers stay shut when carrying it making sure all the tiles and holders stay in place. I love how easy it spins (best on a flat service of course) so I don't have to try to read upside-down anymore when looking for words. As a klutz, I also like how the board had indentations for the pieces, so if I bump it the letters don't go flying! The rules are all the same still, so if you liked the original you will like this edition. I have to say too that I like playing the real game more than I like playing the video editions on the iPod. There is something nice about actually using real tiles.

slvresti says "Not a bad product." about Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss

slvresti — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:00:50 GMT

I purchased this on a two for 10 deal not long ago. I got a couple of the berry/pink colors. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the colors were sheer and not anywhere close to as bright as they appeared in the tube. The applicator was nice and the gloss came out at a nice rate. I did find the fragrence a bit off putting, as it lingered longer than I liked. I also found that it remained tacky for quite a long time after application. I think it is a nice product, but not that much different from others on the market.

Jo says "Where's all the protein in Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake? " about Herbalife Shakes

Jo — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:00:49 GMT

I am doing a 12-week weight loss program sponsored by Herbalife. When I enrolled I didn't know that they were sponsoring it. I have bought quite a few of their products. The first one I bought was the Healthy Meal Nutritional Shake Mix. It is for "healthy nutrition and weight management".

The flavor I chose is french vanilla, which is delicious. I add soy or almond mix to two scoops and ice cubes and have a yummy snack. The program suggests that we have one or two shakes a day. I normally have one and stick to the amount of calories per day I should eat.

I paid about $35.00 for a 26.5 ounce canister. This makes 30 servings per container.

It has 19 essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients; however, you will get these in a multi-vitamin. For example, you'll get 35% of Vitamin A when you add milk and 50% of Vitamin D, which you will get if you go outside for 15 minutes a day. Yes I am skeptical because I haven't seen results and I think it is over priced.

The "wellness coaches" say that...

Prosperity says "Home Brewing Kombucha is the practical way to go" about Home Brewed Kombucha

Prosperity — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:00:02 GMT

It all started last spring when my friend brought some GT's Kombucha over to my house. I had not tried any in years, my parents used to make it when I was growing up, and the stuff literally scared me. Now being a bit older I decided to try it again, and to my surprise it was great. There were many flavors to choose from. The only problem was the cost, it was up near $4.00 per 16oz. I found myself spending well over $200/month just so I could have some every day. This was getting way out of hand for my budget, and since I knew my parents used to make it, I figured I could to. I began my research on the internet on how to make it and found a great web site, www.kombuchaamerica.com where I was able to get the yeast/microbe sent to me in the mail along with brewing instructions. The other supplies needed were a large styrofoam cooler, a heating lamp, glass gallon jars, sugar, green tea, and vinegar. Once I got all the supplies the rest was easy. Now I brew my own kombucha...

livlrluv7 says "Woodwick candles are relaxing and romantic, I love them!" about Virginia Candle Company WoodWick Candles

livlrluv7 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:56:12 GMT

About six months ago I recieved a Wood Wick Candles as a gift, As soon as i lit it it smelled amazing and it sounded like an actual wood fire! I then went searching in stores to find more! Since then I have purchased about 5 Wood Wick candles for myself. They ome in different glass containers and different sizes. When you put them all together and light them all it is so romantic, and just sit back with the person you love and listen to these amazing candles flicker, it is one more thing to add to the list of romantic setting right along with the rose petals all over...

these candles re perfect for those would love the soud of a crackling fire, or who love great sents, or those who are looking for something to help set a romantic setting.

stephkenner says "All time favorite!" about The Deadliest Catch

stephkenner — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:55:58 GMT

I discovered Deadliest Catch a couple of years ago when there was a marathon on Discovery Channel and I was hooked. I watched it from 12 noon until 11 pm that night, non stop. The bravery that these men &their crews show, amazes me. My favorite boat is The Time Bandit, with The Cornelia Marie coming in a close second. My husbands favorite boat is The Northwestern. He said if he ever went out on a crabbing boat, Sig would be the one he would want to be with.

Deadliest Catch is my all time favorite TV show and people that don't watch it, have no idea what they're missing.

janifani says "Herbal Essecnces None of Your Frizzines Shampoo is smoothing!" about Herbal Essences None of Your Frizziness Smoothing Shampoo

janifani — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:55:16 GMT

Herbal Essences None of Your Frizziness Smoothing Shampoo is very smoothing! It helped to control my frizzies and made my hair feel smoother. The scent of this shampoo is very pleasant and the lather just doesn't stop. It cleaned and smoothed my hair and made it more manageable. Right from the moment i opened the bottle and took a whiff of this shampoo I knew I was going to love it. It has a fresh, clean smell that invites you in. I also have a very sensitive scalp, I didn't have any of the problems I normally have with some shampoos, no itching or burning, just a nice clean sensation. When I tried a different shampoo, you know to save a few pennies, my hair got a case of the frizzies again, so I went right back! I have always had a problem with the frizzies in the past, but not anymore. I loved the way this shampoo made my hair and my scalp feel! Thank you Herbal Esscenses for smoothing things out for me and my hair!

patterson84 says "Pergo's can't get too wet" about Pergo Hgardwood Flooring Antique Oak

patterson84 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:53:36 GMT

I recently replaced carpeting and tile on the first floor of my home. The carpeting was present when I moved in two years ago and if I didn't clean it weekly, stains were constantly marring the appearance. I started thinking about hard wood mahagony and received an estimate from the local flooring store. As this seemed prohibitive, I considered pergo.
Unfortunately it was sold to me as low maintenance and with a 30 year warranty. I am a single woman and travel frequently for my job so I was looking for a "simple but elegant" product. I voiced my concerns about placing it in the kitchen and the vanity bath, but the sales person assured me that this would be fine. The final cost of the material and installation was between $7,000.00 and $8,000.00 dollars.
Unfortunately I have regretted this purchase almost from the time it was installed. I too have experienced scratches, smudges and spots. Being a single woman, furniture is going to be moved by sliding not lifting and instant deep scratches...

RudiXeno says "Ryobi 3/8ths inch Corded Drill: Enough for most homeowners" about Ryobi Variable Peed 3/8ths inch Drill

RudiXeno — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:49:54 GMT

Unless you do none of your own work at home, one of the most valuable tools you can own is a power drill.

A trip to either The Home Depot or Lowe's might convince you that unless you have the latest, greatest lithium powered portable drill you are seriously challenged. I say no.

Now if you're among those of us who seem always to have a next project on the board you probably can benefit from the latest cordless drill. But for the overwhelming majority of homeowners and apartment dwellers, your needs can be more easily addressed with a simple, inexpensive corded drill.

Ryobi 3/8ths inch Corded Drill

The Ryobi 3/8ths inch Corded Drillis a basic yet totally serviceable alternative to the cordless drill for most homeowners. For most projects around the home, other than drill bits, you might need an extension cord. It has a key-less chuck so you won't even have to search for a missing chuck key.

How often are you really going to need to use this tool. If not on a frequent...

KelliRank says "I use mine all the time." about Aroma Rice cooker/steamer 10 cup

KelliRank — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:49:04 GMT

I received my aroma 10 cup rice cooker and steamer as a christmas gift and I'am thrilled with it's versatility. It is really easy to use and super simple to clean and store. I really like that it doubles as a steamer. Since I recived my rice cooker and steamer I find myself eating vegetables with every meal. As a rice cooker it works really well. The rice always comes out perfect. Not just white rice either it makes wonderful brown rice to. I had always used the stove top to cook rice and found brown rice to be either tough or rubbery not appealing at all. It is not just for rice and vegetablesit makes perfect asian dumplings. I love being in my kitchen cooking and baking and can honestly tell you that this is a product that is worth purchasing. If your looking for an easy healthy way to start eating this is the appliance for you. this is one of the sides my whole family likes even the kids. If you steam the veggies then put them in a bowl with a little parmasan cheese a...

jstapp101405 says "Cadillac of carseats!" about Combi Zeus (Z-Turn)

jstapp101405 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:45:26 GMT

This car seat, at first seemed a bit pricey. Completely worth the price!

It was not any more confusing to install than any other car seat I've owned. Though it wasn't any easier either. Once it's in, though, it's in until your child hits the 40 lb. mark. It's rear-facing to 22 lbs. and forward-facing to 40 lbs.

The single most important feature, and the entire reason I purchased it, is the fact that the seat swivels in any direction to make getting your baby in and out of the vehicle easy. You lift the lever with one hand and swivel the seat in the direction you need. When you have the baby secured in the harness, you simply swivel it back to rear-facing (or front when you're ready) and it locks in place. This is especially helpful to those who have higher riding vehicles, or like me who have back problems.

I found making the straps longer a little difficult, though tightening them is no problem at all.

I highly recommend this car seat!
