queensnymom says "a good compact machine, could use a firewire port" about Dell Dimension C521 desktop computer

We've had a few dells over the years, and were not thoroughly impressed with most of them; I am a bigger fan of the HP brand. However, prices for Dell PCs came down significantly, and I thought I'd give them a try again. I have not been disappointed. The graphics are good, and the computer is responsive. The screen is large enough to work with two windows/documents simultaneously, but at some point you might want to upgrade to a 22", if you watch to really enjoy your DVD movies. I have not had any power issues or anything like that, and there is a card reader built-in, so you can download your pictures easily. There are only two USB ports in the front, which is a bit of a hassle, but there are enough in the back. I partly use this computer for entertainment (to store pictures, edit home videos, and hold a lot of my music); unfortunately, there is no firewire port, which I should have thought off before I made the purchase. I purchased a separate device which includes a USB...

queensnymom says "a lot lighter than a lot of other chocolate candies...!" about Junior Mints

The buzz nowadays is dark chocolate, but these morsels have been covered in it for a long time! If you compare the fat content in the small snack box of junior mints with that in other chocolate candies, you'll see why you can splurge on these from time to time, get that great burst of mint and chocolate, and still not sabotage your diet - but if you eat too many, there is a "too sweet" taste in your mouth, more so than say, a few chocolate kisses. It's best not to overdo anything, so be reasonable, and enjoy some junior mints!...

queensnymom says "This mp3 portable speaker system is compact and has great sound!" about JBL - On Tour Speakers

I used this with the creative vision mp3, but most mp3 players with the standard jack are compatible. It comes with a gray carry bag and dc adapter, but you can also use batteries. I used it at a birthday party, and everyone was wondering where that sound was coming from. When I showed them that it was from this gadget, no one could believe it! I thought of getting the samsung mp3 player with attached speakers but if you already have an mp3 player, or want one with other features, like photo slideshows, fm radio, etc., you should seriously consider this. I got mine from Staples, and got it delivered next day. I'm very happy with this fold-away speaker system, that you can take with you whenever you want to share your music!...
