rubygirl says "Quiet, reliable, perfect for baby's room!" about Crane Cool Mist Humidifier

rubygirl — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 14:35:05 GMT

We bought the Cool Mist Humidifier (frog design) when my son was three months old after he got bronchiolitis. The pediatrician recommended a cool mist humidifier to help him breathe at night. We first bought the Vicks basic pediatric version and it was extremely loud. He was still in a bassinet in our room at the time and it was just too noisy for us. So we bought the Crane CM Humidifier in the frog shape and love it! It's quiet, works great, and has an adjustable setting. He's now in his own room and we run the humdifier every night. I highly recommend this product!...

rubygirl says "Good food, no more indigestion!" about Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care

rubygirl — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 20:18:18 GMT

I feed this to my cats and they do really well on it. They were on a more rich food for a while that gave them indigestion and this one is mild enough that it doesn't bother them. Of course, they don't like it as well - it must be a little bland. But if mixed with canned food, they gobble it up. It's great for the price and the company usually has rebates and coupons on a regular basis. This review applies to both Natural Choice Complete Care and Indoor Complete Care...

rubygirl says "Great food, but watch the weight!" about Natural Balance Duck & Potato

rubygirl — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 20:13:13 GMT

This is a great food, especially for dogs with sensitive allergies. Our dog was on it until recently. He was still chewing on his paws (no longer think it's allergies) and gaining weight so he's back on NB Reduced Fat version for now. But, for dogs with sensitive allergies to wheat and other grains, this is probably the least expensive allergy dog food out there. ...

rubygirl says "Excellent food for a great price" about Natural Balance Indoor Cat Formula Canned Food

rubygirl — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 20:09:52 GMT

I started reading reviews of pet food before the scares of the past year because I started wondering just what goes into my pets' food. Lo and behold, I learned a lot. Natural Balance is one of the best foods out there for the price. It's not top of the line, but it's pretty darned good. And my cats LOVE it. I feed different varieties of the canned food to mix it up for them, but they love it all. Note - the recall issued by Natural Balance was NOT for the melamine scare. It was a proactive move on the company's part when they had some owners contact them with sick pets. It turned out to be a false alarm. This is a safe food and I trust the brand!...

rubygirl says "Great chuch - welcoming congregation and diverse members" about Highland Baptist Church - Louisville, KY

rubygirl — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 20:04:27 GMT

I never thought I'd be the type to go to church nearly every Sunday, until I found Highland Baptist Church. It's not what you'd think of when you think of "Baptist." Take the SBC out of Baptist and you get sanity. I enjoy going every week and word has spread because new people are joining all the time. The pastor and ministry team is fantastic. There's a ton of stuff to get involved in, if you want to. And you don't have to fit the mold - HBC is welcoming of all people, gay, straight, black, white, young and old. ...

rubygirl says "Absolute page turner" about A Thousand Splendid Suns

rubygirl — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 19:57:50 GMT

This was the second book by Hosseini that I read and I didn't think it could top his first (The Kite Runner) but it was excellent! I loved the story and character development and the insight into Afghan culture. Excellent book, especially if you're interested in strong female characters and plotlines. Buy this book! Then read The Kite Runner too!...

rubygirl says "HUGE waste of money" about Zeno Acne Treatment Device

rubygirl — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 19:49:25 GMT

I bought this after reading rave reviews on another web site and have been horribly disappointed in it. I've used it at least a dozen times on all types of acne and it never works. It's over-rated, over-priced, and over-hyped. Don't waste your money on this product!...

rubygirl says "Great site for newlyweds and young couples" about The Nest

rubygirl — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 19:46:26 GMT

I love this web site! it's great for information, decor tips, money matters, all the things that newlyweds have to deal with during the first couple of years of marriage. The message boards are great as well and tailored to all sorts of topics, including pregnancy, decorating, pets, money, etc....

rubygirl says "Great, except for the high octane fuel requirement" about Volvo S40 - 2003

rubygirl — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 19:42:49 GMT

I bought my Volvo used, and it has been great up until recently. I took it in for service after the "Check Engine" light came on and took it in for a thorough inspection. I was told that I needed to start using high octane fuel to prevent the engine from getting gunked up and seals wearing down. Apparently Volvo dealerships will tell you it's not necessary, but once the car is a couple of years old, you have to switch to the expensive gas. Blah. If I'd known that, I probably wouldn't have bought the car. It's a great car, but it adds to the expense of owning it!
