ottiscat — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:06:10 GMT

I was in need of a new blender and didn't want to spend a whole lot.I finally found this Oster 10 speed blender for $19.99 (on sale, $24.99 original price) If your looking for a blender for general usage and have a habit of breaking things, this is the blender for you.It comes with a 6 cup plastic jar and can take it's licks!It has an all metal drive for durability and is 450 watts for ice crushing if you like frozen drinks or smoothies.It breaks down easily for quick cleaning and reusing.The base is your basic white and has 10 speeds(high and low plus-grate,blend,grind, liquify.puree,chop, whip,mix, pulse and ice crush)It also has a quick clean button, to save time during usage.There are 4 blades-2 that tilt up and 2 down for consistent mixing or blending.The top is rubber, for a tight seal, but easy fit.It has a removable base for easy cleaning too.There is a removable feeder cap to add ingredients while blending and a sealing ring for a tight seal and of course it is leak proof.It has...

ottiscat says "Uniden DECT 6.0 is great for those technically challenged!" about Uniden - Dect 6.0 digital answering system

ottiscat — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:44:01 GMT

After months of dealing with a dying phone, I finally found this great little gadget-The Uniden Dect 6.0 answering system.The package I bought comes with only one handset but can be expanded with up to 6 handsets.It lights up a great orange color when ringing or dialing and is perfect for night use- great visibility!Being a little technically challenged, I had to find something that even I could set up without too much difficulty and this is the phone for that.You can store up to 70 names and numbers, which is surprisingly easy to do.The answeing machine is way too easy to program and you can leave your own message or opt. for the one the phone already has.It comes with caller ID/call waiting and with the bright orange ,you can read it from across the room!you can also personalize the ringers.I found it very easy to program and you can redial up to the last 5 numbers.It records up to 14 minutes in messages to be reviewed at your convienece.You can also talk hands free by using the speakerphone!It...

ottiscat says "cute,stylish and comfy" about New Addition maternity shirt

ottiscat — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 20:15:40 GMT

I've been on the search for a great Christmas gift for one of my best friends and was so delited to find this gorgeous maternity shirt by New Additions.It's a beautiful powder blue , short sleeve shirt that has the most darling tiny stork embrodiered on the upper left side(remember the izod?)I found this little gem while shopping online at Kmart.There were an array of colors to choose from(pink,purple,yellow,blue ect.) most are light or pastel and all have the little stork holding the bundle of joy.I couldn't resist!The material is 95% cotton, 5% spandex and very durable.The price is very affordable too.These shirts are $16, but I got mine for an unbelieveable $2.99 on clearence!Once this shirt arrived, I realized I needed to buy another and this time had to shop elsewhere and pay retail, but whose complaining?I got that one in yellow and immediately gave it to my girlfriend.Needless to say, she loves it and it fits her great,as it is a wonderfully made shirt.It feels so soft and has...

ottiscat says "Dr. Scholl's walking sandals are oh so comfy and stylish" about Dr. Scholl's, Adidas and Jenny Craig walking sandals

ottiscat — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:50:30 GMT

I hunted half the summer for a pair of sandals that were not only pretty, but durable and good for walking.I finally found that pair when I found these Dr.Scholl's walking sandals at Walmart.I expected them to be too pricey but was pleasently surprised to see they were only $20.They are so very comfortable with a nice cushion and with the velcro straps they are so easy to put on and take off.These aren't your mothers' Dr.Scholls,like the wooden soled sandals they usually sell.These have pretty straps in a durable blue cloth and I suspect they'll last quite a few years.I put them to the test on a long walk through Tombstone,AZ.We walked around for hours and my feet never felt tired or sore from too long wear.There is a gel pack in the insole for extra comfort and it really makes all the diffrence.These are definately sandals that will be in style for years to come and I suspect they will last that long!The only thing that I found unusual was that I had to buy a size larger than normal, but...

ottiscat says "leaves a fresh scent in your mouth!" about Fixodent Control Denture Adhesive Cream Plus Scope 2 oz

ottiscat — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 21:43:44 GMT

After getting dentures I was using my husbands' Fixodent and didn't like the taste.Miracously ,Fixodent came out with "Fixodent Control with Scope".AWESOME really sums up this product!It allows you to use just enough that your dentures are secure with no ooze and the taste is excellent, just like mouthwash.I really love using this Fixodent compared to the original.The tip is a lot smaller and you can use a lot less than the original, which makes this tube last longer and there is no annoying ooze all over your mouth and gums.The fresh Scope taste is a major bonus that lasts all day.I usually have a tube for a month or better, while my husband has his original for a few weeks.Try it you'll love it!

ottiscat says "easy to use, but is it worth it?" about Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets

ottiscat — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 21:28:34 GMT

I recieved a great coupon for Purex 3 in 1 and when it was on sale, I bought it.I am a Purex user and was looking forward to using the new product.I must say, I was rather disappointed.You have a sheet that is thrown in the washer, then in the dryer.There is only one size, so you have to do only average size loads which I didn't like.I'd rather measure out enough detergent to do extra large loads.It didn't look as though there was enough soap in the sheet and I was rather skeptical that my clothes were really clean.Then everything went into the dryer.The sheet did control static cling, but if your looking for that nice Purex scent, you won't find it here.To finish up the package I bought a new bottle of purex and some dryer sheets.I wasn't very impressed with this product and have gone back to using both detergent and dryer sheets.That way I'm guarenteed the results I want.Perhaps I'm getting old and want to do laundry the old fashion way, but I don't think so!

ottiscat says "soft fresh clean skin" about Dove Go Fresh, Body Wash, Refresh Waterlily & Freshmint

ottiscat — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 21:16:38 GMT

I've always used Dove soap and recently bought Dove body wash.To my surprise I found I liked this even better than the soap.I bought a bottle for about $6 in Walmart.This body wash is so gentle you can even use it on your face.There are several scents to choose from and each one has its own merits.A little bit goes a long way and you can really work up a nice lather.It leaves the skin so soft and smooth it feels like I've been pampered at a spa!The scents aren't over powering and I get compliments every where I go.The price is fair and the bottle last quite a while.Everyone, male and female should give this a try.I'm sure you won't be sorry.

ottiscat says "Awesome tool to end excessive shedding" about FURminator Large

ottiscat — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 21:07:27 GMT

Recently, a friend groomed my Rhodesian Ridgeback with a new tool she had purchased called the FURminator.My dog shed excessively and for the first time in 11 years not one hair was left behind!Well, I immediately ran out and bought one of my own.I looked in various pet stores and the price was around $60, so I went online and finally purchased a new one on Ebay for about$45.This is the best grooming tool by far.For the first time ever my dog is shed free and I don't have piles of fur all over my home.I feel better and my dog is happy.She hasn't got her usual itchy summer coat !This tool looks like a lot of other products, but don't be fooled, none compare to The FURminator!They also have tools for cats too.It is a bit expensive compared to other tools but if you want a hair free home this is the way to go.It's so easy to use and guarenteed to last a lifetime or your money back.Have a healthy shiny coat on your dog and no bothersome hairs covering your furniture and clothing.

ottiscat says "Most of us are not smarter than a fifth grader" about Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?

ottiscat — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 18:25:13 GMT

I love comedy, but there is nothing funny about adults not being as smart as fifth graders. The kids are cute and of course, very smart.The adults, college educated, most in the top 10% of their class.Jeff Foxworthy is great as the host, making you wonder if your really correct after answering the $25,000 question.He can really leave you hanging before a commercial.I usually don't watch reality televsion, but these games shows are great.I feel pretty good each night, being able to answer most questions correctly, but at the end of every show, I too have had to say "I am not smarter than a fifth grader".Not one person has won the $million$ dollars yet, and I'm not so sure anyone is going to be willing to risk a half million to try to answer a question in which they don't even know what catagory it's in.To get to the million dollar question you must first answer 10 other questions , ranging from first grade to fifth grade(and yes, I've seen people flunk out in the first grade) with different......

ottiscat says "all in one, simple to use, vibrant colors!" about Hewlett Packard Photosmart C4280 Printer

ottiscat — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 19:59:16 GMT

got this all in one to basically print coupons, but once I printed a few pictures I knew I had a winner!being computer challenged, I must say this is very simple to use.the price was reasonable, about mid-range for an all in one.got the printer, ink, and a 100 pack of 4 by 6 in. photo paper for under $80.the price for ink refills are about $22. this is one of the best items I've added to my computer yet.anyone can master this printer, challenged or not. Its a great piece of machinery for a reasonable price. check it out.

ottiscat — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 19:21:10 GMT

these crinkle bags are great!we purchased one for our cat because it sounds like a paper bag when you touch it.( and we all know how much kitty loves a good paper bag!) these are indestructible.I've had mine for 10 years and my cat still loves it.there isn't a rip or tear in it. they are also machine washable .This is the longest lasting toy I have ever bought for my cat and its definately his favorite.10 years after purchase its still in magnificent shape and still "crinkles" as much as it did the day I bought it. definately worth buying!!!...
