penelope-q says "Lots of love in a little package" about Chihuahuas Dog Breed

I always knew I wanted a small dog and after watching an Animal Planet special decided that a Chihuahua would be right for me. I had larger dogs growing up but wanted more of a "baby" that I could bring to work with me. My short haired chihuahuas are easy to groom and keep themselves very clean, needing only occasional bathing.

Chihuahuas are not the dogs for everyone. They demand a lot of attention and their small size makes them more fragile--definitely not a dog for a household with small children.

Still, with their long lifespans and cheerful dispositions Chihuahuas are the perfect dog for me.

penelope-q says "Not just for Sci Fans--One of the best shows on TV" about Battlestar Galactica

When the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica launched a few years back I was immediately hooked. Although the special effects are great, this show is really about the relationships between the characters and how people react when faced with overwhelming tragedy. With complex story lines and phenomenal acting, Battlestar is not only one of the best sci fi shows of all time but simply one of the best shows of any genre period.

penelope-q says "A very good card" about Chase - Perfectcard Mastercard

I use my Master Card for most everyday purchases. I always use it at the grocery store, drug stores, and gas stations for the 3% bonus. Really the only problem with this card is that there is a limit on rewards points--once you reach that spending limit there are no more rewards for the rest of the year.

The website is easy to use and I like the automatic reminders sent to my email.

penelope-q says "A good all around credit card" about Discover - Card Cashback Bonus

I tend to use my Discover Card for large purchases where I can take advantage of the cash back program. I like that this card gives you several options to redeem your points--you can take cash, credit towards your account, or my favorite, gift certificates to numerous merchants. The gift certificates are great because $20 worth of rewards can often be traded in for a $25 gift card.

The only negatives about this card are that it is not taken everywhere and that it does not have extra rewards for certain purchases. With my Master Card I get 3% back at gas stations and grocery stores but the Discover is 1% across the board. Still, this is a good card and has a very user friendly website for checking balances and paying on-line.

penelope-q says "The most entertaining show on TV--not just for auto enthusiasts!" about Top Gear

When my car crazy husband suggested we watch another car show I was expecting to be bored like usual. Was I wrong! The dry British humor of the witty Top Gear hosts immediately won me over. I have no idea what they are talking about during the car reviews but clever commentary keeps me watching. My favorite parts are when they take road trips and take part in crazy challenges which are often laugh-out-loud funny. Top Gear is a great, thoroughly entertaining show, even for someone like me who still isn't sure what torque means. A+

penelope-q says "Absolutely Breathtaking" about Planet Earth

penelope-q — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 17:50:36 GMT

Planet Earth is simply the best nature program I have ever seen. The visuals are stunning (must be seen in HD to be truly appreciated) and the program itself is very interesting with lots of fascinating facts. Full of indelible images (I can still picture the terrible majesty of the great white attacking a seal) this is a must see....
