sailcattlvr says "Great Safe website for kids" about Webkinz.com

sailcattlvr — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 05:05:07 GMT

Webkinz is a great safe place for kids to play. There is no way to actually talk to people while on the site. We are very careful with the sites our daughter can use and so far Webkinz seems to be the safest. You cannot chat with each other at all. You can send a preprinted message when competing in a game like "good job" " wanna play again" ect. but none of the walking around "Hey hot stuff" you get on wizards realm or those other sites. The only down side is the toys run from $6 for Lil Kinz to $20 for the regular Webkinz but once you buy one you can play online all year for free. (Walgreens has the Lil Kinz half price once in a while) Also if you buy 1 a year all of your Webkinz stay active. My daughter has been on the site for a few years and has about 15 that she keeps track of. You play games for free to win Webkinz cash to buy food or clothes or stuff for their pets room so as long as you play games you keep going.

I also like to play on the site some...

sailcattlvr says "Great Value for a Lakeside cabin" about Swaha Lodge & Marina - Murgreesboro, AR

sailcattlvr — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 04:54:35 GMT

The Swaha Lodge and Marina is kind of off the beaten path and is definitely not a 5 star resort, but the view from our deck was wonderful. The cabin was $85 a night had two beds, satellite TV, kitchen complete with fridge, oven and microwave, a bar-b-que on the patio, and a small bathroom with shower. There are cabins hat are cheaper all the way up to a 5 bedroom house for $300. You have to be ok with bugs since you are out in the woods and that is there home. but if you can survive the occasional grasshopper or ant you will be fine. You have to take out your own trash and was your own dishes but if you like to "sort of" rough it on vacation then I recommend this lodge. Of course it is better if you bring a boat since the lake is just down the hill from your porch.

sailcattlvr says "Try something completly different for you vacation" about Crater of Diamonds State Park

sailcattlvr — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 04:38:17 GMT

Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro Arkansas was a wonderful family trip. Even my 78 year old mother had fun. The entry fee is $7 and if you find a diamond you get to keep it. They have people who will tell you if what you have is a diamond or just a piece of crystal, or much to my dismay a piece of glass. The fee is for the entire day and you can leave and come back if you want to. The largest diamond found there was 40 carats in 1924 but people are still finding them today. a 3 carat was while we were there. If you get tired of diamond hunting there are crystal mines you can go and dig near to look for quartz. The only downside is in the middle of summer it is too hot and alot of bugs, This is a really fun place and we are going back soon.

sailcattlvr says "Do not waste your money on this awful product" about Zeno Zeno Zit Zapper

sailcattlvr — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 04:20:23 GMT

I really suggest you stay away from the Zeno Zit Zapper. This is a hand held battery operated device that heats up to dry the pimple up. It says 2-3 treatments over 24 hours should be enough for most pimples usually only 1 treatment is needed. My daughter used it for a week and the only difference we noticed was it made the pimples redder not the results you are looking for when you pay $130.00 plus $25 for replacement tips. Luckly we purchased ours at CVS and not online so we got our money back.

sailcattlvr says "a great kid friendly active dog" about other Toy Fox Terrier

sailcattlvr — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 04:06:23 GMT

When I met my husband he came with a Toy Fox Terrier named Bo. I have always been a big dog fan and these are not large in any way but after a short time I discovered the joy of this breed. We have had 7 Toy Fox Terriers, but have sadly lost 2 of them to old age. So far all of them have been incredible with children, very loving and have very distinctive personalities. They are very energetic and need room and alot of attention but they are so worth the extra time with all of the love they give. If you have kids I really do recommend this breed because all I have ever seen from them is a huge amount of patience with children, no matter how many times they are stepped on, or dressed up or picked up and flopped around we have never had so much as a nip occur from even the oldest dogs.

sailcattlvr says "this stuff rocks, its the best thing I have tried" about Bath & Body Works True Blue Spa Heel of Approval Cracked Heel Treatment

sailcattlvr — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 03:50:33 GMT

I love the Bath and Body Works True Blue SPa Heel of Approval Cracked Heel Treatment. Since most of the productsI have tried don't make much a difference on my feet I waited until they had a great sale before bought it but now I am hooked. It works great. I live in Arizona so with the dry heat and standing at work alot my feet were awful. I was too ashamed to even think pedicure. I tried this stuff and it seemed to work overnight. I admit I piled it on thick the first time not expecting any results but now I just put on a little at bedtime and the results are great. I am not even worried about rubbing my feet aganst my hubby at night. :)

sailcattlvr says "NCIS is a entertaining, interesting show with a great cast" about NCIS

sailcattlvr — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 05:03:33 GMT

This series is great! My entire family (even my mother-in law) never miss it. I really enjoy CSI but I think I like this better because of the family feel of the team and how they find ways to bring a little humor in now and then, between Abby's off beat character to Tony being such a cad. They get along like a slighty odd family. There is a lot of teasing but deep down they all really care for each other. All of the main charaters are great and my only concern is that they are running out of people to kill at the end of the season. .

sailcattlvr says "Dave and Busters is a great place for famly or a great date nite" about Dave and Busters - - Scottsdale, AZ

sailcattlvr — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:35:53 GMT

Dave and Busters is a great place to have fun, as a family or on a date. They have great games and the food is exceptional. The "adult beverages" are wonderful, I recommend a snow cone. You can play video games just for fun or for tickets, they have really good prizes ranging from X-Boxes to Stuffed dogs. There is also a bowling alley and a sports bar downstairs but we love the game area upstairs. Wednesday is half price games so that is the best day to make your play time stretch if you are on a budget and still want a good time. They have an eat and...

sailcattlvr says "The best insurance ever" about American Family Insurance

sailcattlvr — Sat, 10 May 2008 05:05:16 GMT

I love American Family. I have been with them since I was 16. When I moved I tried a few others and they always raised rates on me (no tickets or accidents ever). With American family even after my husband got in a wreck my rates went down not up because we added a new vehicle and he turned 27. when the car was broken into we got a check for what was stolen within a month and it was a pretty fair check. I recommen them to everyone.

sailcattlvr says "The only way to travel" about Carnival Cruise Lines - Elation

sailcattlvr — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 13:00:36 GMT

WOW!!! this was so much fun. Both my husband and I really enjoyed the cruise and are planning the next one. This is the best way to travel if you want to do a lot and not worry about driving/flying/hotels/food. We got to snorkel, go to parties, there were auctions, shows, swimming, beaches, beauty shop/spa ect.

The only down side is your drinks can add up,but we found the best way around that is to look at the ship schedule and go where the free drinks are. We went to art auctions, capitans partys, heck we even went to a singles parts.

In my opinion a cruise is the best way to travel. However if you have children make sure the ship you are on is one that offers activites. There were very few kids on the cruise and our ship did not have many ammenities for children so I imagine they were pretty bored.
