mrylvspaul says "Great shopping bargans!" about Aldi Food Stores

mrylvspaul — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 23:16:32 GMT

Aldi in Rocky Mount, NC is wonderful shopping experience. The store is always clean, well stocked, and full of bargains.

Aldi's is a place in which one can buy groceries, meats, fresh produce as well as items such as clothes and even bedspreads, toys, and bath towels! One may think, well this is just another place such as Wal-Mart or other super store chain. Although Aldi may be a chain of successful stores, it is far from being just another ordinary super store. In fact,it's better!

When one goes to the store, you need to have a quarter to get a shopping basket. Don't worry, you will get your money back when you return the cart to the corral. The reason for having to use the quarter is elementary: people will return the cart to the corral to get their shiny quarter back; that in turn saves Aldi money from not having to purchase more carts; and if they save money, the consumer saves money!

The store is laid out like any normal grocery store and you can find just about anything...

mrylvspaul says "I was disappointed" about Avon MagiX Face Perfector SPF 20

mrylvspaul — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 19:45:08 GMT

Avon Magix Face Perfector really disappointed me. I kept reading a lot of positive reviews on the Avon website and after reading the reviews, I decided to purchase the product. There are several things I did not like including the smell, the texture and formula broke my face out, and it did not do as well as promised.

Number one, the smell to me was a big turnoff. It reminded me of flowers that have gotten old and have an off smell to them. It's hard to explain exactly but it just has an off odor.

Number two, the texture reminded me of petroleum jelly. It's supposed to be for all skin types but it was not good for my oily skin. In fact, every-time I put it on, my skin felt like it had a mask on it and then it caused me to break out in a couple of spots. Now, I'm almost 44 years old and very rarely have any type of facial break out anymore, but this product definitely caused me to have red spots and bumps that appeared. I even tested to make sure it was from the product. On two separate...

mrylvspaul says "My cat does not like it" about Pedi Paws Pet Nail Trimmer

mrylvspaul — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 23:11:20 GMT

We purchased the PediPaws because we had heard a lot of positive things such as it being a safer alternative to clipping the claws of ones pet. I hoped it would be make this a much easier job for both my husband and cat. My male cat, Baby, never likes having this done but he cooperates as good as can be expected.

My husband had been using old fashioned nail clippers. He's always been very careful to not cut too far down to the quick and can usually only do two paws at one time. Because it is such a hard thing for Baby, he usually gets the two front claws done one day and the other two the next day. Since using PediPaws, it has only helped a little bit.

PediPaws is an implement that sort of resembles an electric toothbrush and on the end of it, there is a rotating wheel. For safety sake, the wheel has a cover which is designed so that that the paw can only be inserted in one way. You basically hold the claw up to the wheel and it files down the claw. The thing...

mrylvspaul says "Euroflex Heavy Duty Monster Steam Cleaner cleans good" about Monster Eurfoflex Steam Booster Cleaner Monster Household Appliances

mrylvspaul — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 03:56:43 GMT

I had been hearing about steam cleaners, but never paid much attention to them. However, I decided to purchase one after seeing an advertisement for the Monster Steam Cleaner. I'm not sure exactly what made me decide to purchase one, but I believe it was the fact that it promised to clean and sanitize practically any surface. Not only would it clean and sanitize, the advertisement said, but it would also make the chore of housework that much easier.

That's all that had to be said for me to want to purchase one. I love a clean house--in fact, I hate clutter and can't stand to see dirt and dust on household surfaces. But with that said, I hate to actually clean! In other words, if I could have a maid to clean and polish at my service, I would be in hog heaven. Unfortunately, I do not have that benefit and therefore have to do it myself. That means I'm constantly looking out for the newest item to come on the market that promises to make housework a breeze--hence my reason for purchasing the...

mrylvspaul says "Turbo Tax is great!" about TurboTax Online

mrylvspaul — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 19:11:41 GMT

This is my first year using Turbo Tax On-line. My spouse and I decided to give Turbo Tax a try because we had heard some positive things.

I went on-line rather hesitantly because I am not in the least knowledgeable about taxes. But after answering a few simple questions, I quickly started the task of filing.

There is an option where one can file electronically with absolutely no fees imposed, and is great if you have a simple return.

Second option was to upgrade-with a fee of course. For an extra $29.95, we were able to file with an added benefit of of getting unlimited tax advice. Several times while going through my taxes, I had questions and all I had to do was type the question under a "Live Community" box, and I immediately had my questions answered. This gave me an extra peace of mind knowing I was doing everything correctly. For some the $29.95 fee may not seem worth it, but it was for me to just be able to get that extra peace of mind.

Filing state taxes is extra for both...

mrylvspaul says "Excellent Read" about Allison Brennan - Tempting Evil

mrylvspaul — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 15:39:18 GMT

I read Tempting Evil by Allison Brennan and it was an absolute great read! I had never read one of her books before, and it definitely won't be the last.

The story started out with a bang and quickly got my attention. I can usually tell if a book is good by its first paragraphs and this book was no exception. As stated, the only "con" of the book is that there were a few passages that got a little bogged down with details; however, once one completes the novel, he/she can see how the author weaved all of those little back ground details together and exploded into an exciting edge-of-your seat finale. The heroine is a great role model for woman and the novel proves what the power of love can really do.

I would recommend this book to anyone over the age of age 18 and up because there was some vulgar language, a rape scene, some violence, and some sexual content.
