masque says "What a let down" about Mandalay Bay - Las Vegas, NV

masque — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 23:22:24 GMT

Had so many problems in just 3 days. Had to wait over 3 hours for our room, even after making the reservation 6 weeks in advance. Buffet was just ok, some of the foods had little to no taste. How can you fry bacon with no taste? We were two smokers with one ashtray. That might explain the cigarette burns someone previously put on the phone. The beds were really comfortable. Lost electricity through no fault of the hotel, but it's hard knowing everyone is gambling and dancing and we're walking around in dark rooms. You'd think they'd have some kind of back up. On checking out, computers were down. When I was emailed the bill, I was overcharged, but accounting took care of that with a simple phone call. Had to call for a bath mat the second day, the third day I just said forget it. When I researched this hotel the reviews said 5 stars. Not impressed. We did get comped some meals for having to wait 2 hours for the room the night we checked in, but then it became almost 4 hours. I'd of...

masque says "Could not put it down" about The Darkest Evening of the Year

Fantastic book. Almost all of his books are. No one is perfect, but he sure comes close when it comes to writing outstanding books. One of his books is usually on my Christmas list....

masque says "Love this car" about Hyundai Sonata - 2007

Quiet ride. Safety features are great. I thought the heated car seats were kind of silly, but wow, is it ever nice when you live where it snows, has ice storms and temperatures under 40! The trunk space is big and the back seats fold down if you need to carry something longer. I researched and test drove so many cars within this category and this one impressed me the most that was in my price range. I got the 6 cylinder so when I need the power it kicks in fast! It comes with a trunk opener and this has come in so handy when shopping in bad weather. If you have three people in the back seat there's no place to put your drinks....

masque says "Ok if it's all you can afford at the time" about Galaxy Refrigerator 56502

Not sure if it's my water or the product but the ice sticks together and it gets stuck trying to dispense. The water comes out so slow I don't even use it. Again, this could be something to do with my old house. Enough space inside for a family or 2 or 3. The filter costs around $40. My ice maker recently stopped working but I was told the filter has something to do with it. This is my first fridge with an icemaker. I figured if I didn't use the water, why buy a filter. Apparently it's needed for the icemaker also? I thought they were on two different water tubes....

masque says "Picture is really clear" about Toshiba - HD-A2 DVD Player

My first HD DVD player and I was impressed. It actually takes your regualr dvd's and makes them look even clearer. There is a slight freeze up when playing regular dvd movies, but it unfreezes before you can roll your eyes and start to get up. When you first turn on the dvd player, it does take a bit to "warm up" before you can even open it to put in the disc....

masque says "Fantastic piece of machinery" about George Foreman Grill - Indoor GR82B

So easy to use. Great tasting food. Use at least 10 minutes less than directions say and you'll be very pleased with this item. Be careful when you use it for kabobs. Place them correctly or they fall off and drag. Make sure when you use the basket that you use the cover tight or they slide around. These are just little things to know to make your meals easier. Oh, three cornish hens do not cook too well, but two cook fantastic. Takes up a lot of space and it's a bit heavy but worth it to me....

masque says "a really good and quiet dishwasher" about Maytag Dishwasher

masque — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 17:45:36 GMT

Very quiet. I really like the sanitize feature. Alot of room for big loads. Holds wine glasses well. A coverable place to put smaller items so the don't get stuck in the drain. After washing, light stays lit so you know the dishes are ready to put away. Have owned this for almost a year with no problems. "Shelf" for long handled items....
