sfritz64 says "This product is a must-have! I use as an everyday thing!" about Pledge Duster Plus Multi-Surface Wands with Spray

sfritz64 — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 19:58:35 GMT

Pledge Duster Plus Multi-Surgace Wands with spray is great! I use it on all the tvs, vcrs, dvd players. It's a great and easy product to use, and gets into all the hard to reach areas. It also works great dusting the laptops and the desktop computers in the house, as well as any other areas. I use it on my crystal, the paintings, and my fragile china birds.

I wouldn't want to use anything else, as it is convenient, and it works. That's 2 combinations that I really need in a house with 3 kids and 2 dogs.

sfritz64 says "A Tough Great Laptop at an Affordable Price" about Toshiba Satellite Pro A210

sfritz64 — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 18:33:42 GMT

This is the second Toshiba laptop in the A200 series that we've bought. We bought the first one for my daughter Christmas 2006, and one for my son this past Christmas. Both of them are really tough, yet lightweight.

We really wanted our kids to have their laptops for the end of their senior years, which we did, and these laptops are absolutely great for what the kids do. My daughter spends her time watching videos, talking using her web-cam, and working on her college notes and homework.

My son uses his to work on homework (he'll be in college in the Fall), gaming, and talking with friends. He would be considered a "techie", as he set up and manages a web site for our Church's youth group. He manages it and keeps it up-to-date, as well as getting all of his pictures uploaded on the computer.

An optional feature that we took advantage of is a 36-month "come to the house or change it out warranty." We have not had to use it, and both of the kids have had no trouble with...

sfritz64 says "Customer Service is still alive, it's just under the bushes!" about Barnes&Noble.com

sfritz64 — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 17:29:16 GMT

I bought most of my Christmas presents on-line this year, mainly because my nerve disease was fired up, kept me from shopping outside.. I am a Barnes and Noble member, and knew that I could use their online services along with (another program I'm attached to) to save money, and knew of some presents for at least 4 members of my family I could buy from Barnes & Noble.. So I got on-line, and immediately found 2 books my dad would enjoy, 2 books my daughter would enjoy, 1 book, and 1 daily calendar that has some little funny sayings on it for my husband. They had a promotion going, that if you spent a certain # of pre-tax dollars, *which I had", you would receive an red canvas bag as a "thank you", .The other program I was involved with, had a free shipping promotion.

I aways write everything down, and with whom I speak to so that my order can be read back to me. Absolutely everything seemed to be in order. So, 3 days go by, and a box from Barnes and Noble arrives, and it contains...

sfritz64 says "Zyrtec is going over the counter! A good thing in the long run!" about Zyrtec Allergy Medicine

sfritz64 — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 02:58:50 GMT

After several years of paying different co-pays for this medication for the last 5 years, it's finally going "over the counter"! Is that a good thing or a bad thing?? I'll bet it will be just like when Claritin went over the counter. Expensive at first, and then gradually getting cheaper. This is a drug that I certainly can't live without, or if I did, my life would be filled with sinus infections and more hay fever, allergies, and asthma than I already have.

I have come to depend on this drug, and when I went to have it filled the other day, I was told that if I filled it now, it would cost more than usual, because the insurance companies were putting a premium on it, since it was supposed to have "already come from out of the prescription label." There is a backlog on it, so it's supposed to come out now about the 24th, which is waiting a little too long for me and my sinuses, so I bought 10 pills, because that turned out to be cheaper than getting the entire 30 days worth. ...

sfritz64 says "Ultimate Little Town at the base of the Rocky Nat'l Park" about Estes Park

sfritz64 — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 08:21:14 GMT

Estes Park is a great little town, that is just about 1 1/2 hours north of Denver. It is at the base of Rocky Mountain Park's entrance, and has wonderful people, great little local restaurants, and great little shops with lovely souveniers.

We are looking at this town to retire in, because it has great seasons, properties back up too the Rockies, has great fishing, wonderful snow in the winter. The town is close-knit, with a love for visitors. It is a safe little main street to let the kids go wander through to find their souveniers.

If you've never been, you can go in any season and find lots to do. Has great stables for horse-back riding, wagon trails in all seasons with dinners and camp-fires. Fly-fishing, white water rafting, has great snowmobiling rentals and places to snowmobile, lots of snow for it, perfect.

Nature lovers, lots of hikes, snow shoe trails, rock climbing. Lots of wildlife, beautiful herds of Elk, deer, Mountain Goat, Coyotes, Wolves, Cougars, all types...

sfritz64 says "Intimate, yet Fun and Inviting -- Something New and Unusual" about The Melting Pot - Dallas, TX

sfritz64 — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 07:57:00 GMT

DELIGHTFUL,, DIFFERENT, AND DELICIOUS are some of the words I would use to describe "The Melting Pot". The atmosphere is good for friends getting together or for a romantic dinner. The booths are great for intimate settings, but if you were to have a lot of people, the tables would be a welcoming way for many friends to get togetheras well. So it has the best of both worlds. Romantic or friends getting together so that you feel like your dining experience is quite and alone, or able to talk and have a great time with friends.

The foods that they put together for you to dip into the sauces are things that you wouldn't necessarily think of. Apples with chocolate. Such a diverse menu of items to put with your dips. I didn't think I could get a full meal (neither did my husband) on fondue, but we were wrong. There were 4 of us, and they brought enough food during each of the 4 courses for at least 6 people. We had leftovers from each course, and when we ran out of our favorites,...

sfritz64 says "Does a Good Job, but doesn't cover it all -- wish it would!" about Frontline Plus

sfritz64 — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 07:21:07 GMT

I have 2 Papillons, both females. Eden is 3 and Bear is 1. Eden has gotten at least a tick a year,even though we faithfully put the Frontline Plus on her each month -- on the same day of the month. So far, Bear hasn't gotten any. It is a bit costly for 2 dogs -- especially getting the Heartguard plus as well.

They both get mosquito bites too, as the mosquitoes are out quite a bit when we go for walks or they are playing in the back yard.

They both react badly to mosquito bites, and I have to get cortisone cream for them, and occasionally take them to the vet for a prednisone injection. I wish this product worked better for mosquitos as well as for ticks.

This product seems to work well for fleas, but I wish it would work for mosquitoes and do a better job for ticks. With long haired dogs, it is hard to always find the ticks.. but then their scratching and biting at it only pushes the tick in further.

sfritz64 says "IT CAN BE AN ENJOYABLE, MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE!" about Walt Disney World - Orlando, FL

sfritz64 — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 06:21:11 GMT

GOING TO DISNEYWORLD AND ENJOYING IT IS ALL ABOUT THE DETAILS AND HOW YOU PLAN IT. WE NEVER, EVER GO IN THE SUMMERTIME.

I love DisneyWorld, and so does my family. We have learned how to make it an enjoyable, memorable, and relaxing experience. We don't want to have to worry about the money we spend, even though everything is expensive when going somewhere like this, so we take the time to plan.

First, we make our reservations through Disney's Travel Agency about 6-9 months in advance, even though we do not always use them for airfare. We always take out the travel insurance through them, as my daughter and I have many medical problems. It is relatively cheap, about $38/person.

We decide on a hotel/resort by comparing them on the website. After so many stays, we like the Wilderness Lodge the best (I've reviewed it, and you can check that out -- I've included some pictures.). We always get the Park Hopper Tickets, and if we aren't going anywhere else, (not needing a rental...

sfritz64 says "Invites your Adventurous Spirit and Welcomes you like No Other!" about Disney World's Wilderness Lodge - Orlando, FL

sfritz64 — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 04:38:52 GMT

Disney's Wilderness Lodge, is my favorite hotel within the Disney family of hotels, although I have to say I've enjoyed most of them. It is located closest to the Magic Kingdom. It looks like a "Lincoln Log" Style Building, with the brown tree poles the green tree slabs as the roof. It is a smoke-free resort. I want to say upfront, that even though it's not one of the cheapest (nor the most expensive), there is a way to make it an affordable, memorable, and stress-free stay. I've outlined how in the last paragraph about Disney's Travel Agency.

Disney's Wilderness Lodge actually has more than just a hotel portion. Each is at a different cost "level", and include: The Villas (the most expensive of the lot), where you can have a cottage with a kitchen, or a studio wih a kitchenette. Then there are "The Cabins" where you can also camp in the woods, and lastly, you can bring your RV and camp in the "Wilderness Lodge campground". The lodge is the most luxourious...

sfritz64 says "Love this car- the right price w/ the right features - elegance!" about Saturn Aura - 2007

sfritz64 — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 19:06:11 GMT

I've been driving the "family" car since my kids were born!

Now, with the youngest son age 17, I decided I needed a car for me. The first ever, actually, that would be just for me. I had searched over 6 months, and couldn't decide between a sedan or a small SUV. I came from driving either a suburban or minivan for the past 18 years. I wanted to sit up high, like in the suburban, but didn't want a small SUV to become another "family" vehicle, that would be used to card things around. The thought of this made me look at sedans.

I couldn't decide, until my husband saw the Saturn Vue (an SUV) on a commercial, and asked me if I had driven it or any other Saturns. I hadn't, so I went the next day (by myself (for the 1st time ever!!!) to the dealership, drove the Vue, and then asked to drive this beautiful light blue Aura XE that I couldn't seem to take my eyes off of.

I got in the driver's seat and immediately fell in love with it. It has so many extras, and it was affordable,...
