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...

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... Tue, 21 Aug 2007 19:06:11 GMT http://www.viewpoints.com/Saturn-Aura-2007-review-a7d6 sfritz64 5
