sophiesmom says "a great bonus for our travel trailer mattress" about Tempurpedic mattress topper

sophiesmom — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 10:04:47 GMT

Tempurpedic Mattress Topper:

My husband & I travel frequently in our travel trailer. it is a beautiful trailer with a queen size bed. the mattress was comfortable but definately not like the one at home. we had a built-in topper on our mattress at home which is very comfortable. we were told by a friend that they had purchased a Tempurpedic Mattress Topper & they were very pleased with the results. we went to Sam's Club to check them out. we selected the Tempurpedic Mattress Topper & took it back to the trailer. I was very suprised at how much it weighed. it was heavy & a little cumbersome to place on the bed. the topper comes with a totally enclosed sheet to keep it clean which was a large determining factor in purchasing this item. the Temperpetic Topper is wonderful. it is so soft it feels like you are laying on a pillow. it has added exactly what we wanted for our bed. i would recommend this to be used at home or on the go. the cost was about $150...

sophiesmom says "i can feel my hair getting thicker" about Murad Murad shampoo for thining hair

sophiesmom — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 09:26:47 GMT

Murad for thinning hair shampoo:

Murad for thinning hair shampoo was recommended to me by my hair stylist. i had gone through a series of infections which resulted in surgery & antibotics. i had developed a reaction to antibiotics & was finally given a very strong one that worked but caused very thinning, dry hair as one of the side effects. at first i was embarrased to see my stylist because of the condition of my hair but when i did see her, she had the answer. it was Murad for thinning hair.it did take some time, about a month, to notice a great improvement but it was worth the wait. my hair felt fuller, shiny & much healthier. I also used the Murad conditon for thining hair. combinded, they had a wonderful effect on my thining hair. Murad is an expensive product & is not on the open market. I purchased mine thru my stylist for about $20 for a 16 0z. bottle. i was very pleased with the results & would recommend to anyone with a thinning hair problem.

sophiesmom says "i love our home away from home" about Dutchmen Lite - 2007

sophiesmom — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 08:58:57 GMT

2007 Dutchmen Lite Travel Trailer:

My husband & i purchased a 2007 Dutchmen lite 28FT. travel trailer in April 2007. we have been traveling through the u.s. for over 2 years off & on (mostly on) & have loved our trailer. we are pulling it with a gmc savanna van with a very large engine. because it is a lite trailer it has not been an issue with placing stress on the van. this trailer has a small living room, kitchen with refrigerator, stove top & oven, microwave & double sink, bathroom, shower (not in the bathroom) & a queen size bed. it has one slide out which gives us extra room in the living room & kitchen area.. we have a 32 in. flat screen tv, a 5 speaker surround sound system & a blu-ray dvd player. we love to travel in style. this is truly a home away from home. personally, we have had no major issues with the Dutchmen. the only thing that was needed was a fuse. this is a well made trailer that suits our needs. my husband, St. bernard dog & myself are...

sophiesmom says "happy shampooing experience for baby" about Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo

sophiesmom — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 07:42:31 GMT

Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo: I have been a customer of Johnson & Johnson baby products since our daugter was a baby 28 years ago. I was visiting my nephew & his family over the holidays. they have a toddler that i said i would help bathe. i got into the bathroom & found the J & J shampoo sitting on the tub. I was so happy to see that this product has stayed the same over the years. i started washing his hair & i was very happy to see that he did not cry from the shampoo getting in his eyes. he just continued playing with his toys while i finished with his hair. i love that fresh pure smell it left in his hair. it brought back memories of when i bathed my daughter with it many years ago. it really is the "no more tears" formul that J & J has stood behind for year. i would definatly recommend this product. I have also used severa other J & J baby products & have found them to be a great now as before.

sophiesmom says "great for camping" about Weber weberq 100

sophiesmom — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 07:06:02 GMT

weberq 100

we are retired & travel with a trailer almost all year long. we purchased a (weber grill) weberq 100 over a year ago & we are very happy with it's performance. it is small enough to fit through our trailer passthru which is a real plus. it uses propane gas. the propane can be purchased in a coleman bottle which screws into the barbque. they are small & convient to grill with. because the grill is so small it heats very quickly. it has a big enough grill surface to cook about 6 hamburgers & a couple of hot dog. we have cooked evrthing from steaks & ribs to polish sausage. i was suprised at how evenly it cooks. you can cook chicken without burning it. it is great for camping & for backyard barbquing for the family. it is very easy to clean with a brush & then wipe with oil . it is inexpensive for a good portable barbque. we purchased ours on sale at bbb for $99. it comes with an instruction book with recipes in the back. the cover & a great...

sophiesmom says "nutritious puppy food" about Blue Buffalo blue buffalo largebreed pupy food

sophiesmom — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 09:30:10 GMT

we recently purchased a new puppy. Brandie is a St. bernard (now 12 weeks old) this is our 7th st. bernard so we know their eating habits but we were looking for something a little different than the purina one we have fed to our other sts. in the past. after an exhausting research & speaking to dog experts we decided to go with the Blue Bufalo Large Breed Puppy formula. it is an organic dog food made healthy ingredients. it is expensive but worth it. it agrees well with Brandie. the vet says she is in great health & gaining between 5 & 10 LBS per week. she enjoys the taste & does not need any other dog food with it. i do give her eggs, cottage cheese & lean ground meat as a treat but it is not actually needed. i did give her a small amount of avoderm canned food but it did not agree with her stomach. this is also a good product but the avocado oil may have been to rich. anyway, i can't say enough about the Blue Buffalo. it works well for Brandie & we have a......

sophiesmom says "It works great for me!!!" about Nintendo Wii Fit

sophiesmom — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 08:30:10 GMT

My husband & I are retired. We have put our home in storage & travel around the U.S. in a large travel trailer. My sister was the first to tell me about the Wii Fit. I didn't even have a Wii but she was so excited about it that we set out to find one. This was not an easy task but we got lucky & located both the Wii & Wii Fit at a Target store. It took about a week to find. I immediately tried it when we got back to the trailer. It is great. It is small enough that I can place the Wii Fit in front of the tv. It starts out getting your statistics (age, height,name, dob etc). It is fun because you get to actually make up a character to look like yourself. You start your program with it taking your weight & Bmi. It will ask you how much weight & if you would likel to lose or gain lbs.& how long you want to set your goals for your weight-loss(unfortunately i don't need to use the weight-gain option). It then takes you through a program to check your balance. After......

sophiesmom says "it is fun watching my nephew play with this toy" about Fisher Price Handy Manny

sophiesmom — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 07:55:25 GMT

My 2 year old nephew, Tyler, & myself were in Kohls looking for bargains. We were in the toy dept. when Tyler saw the Handy Manny. he was squealing with delight. This is an open plastic tool box with several different tools with faces & names. it has a button to press & the tools start to dance up & down & sing. He enjoyed it so much that i purchased it for him (under $30). This is very educational. He has learned coordination- he has to put the tools in the correct slot so they can move. He is also learning his colors, the names of the tools, his numbers & to sing the song. This is all while having great fun. It has been a month & his mom says he is still enthusiastically playing with it. I highly recommend the Handy Mannie toy. It gives great fun & as toys go, it is inexpensive. This is very appropriate for toddlers. It would be a wonderful birthday or Christmas present. ...

sophiesmom says "she cares about her patients" about jessica saberman m.d. - - Fishers, IN

sophiesmom — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 04:26:47 GMT

I have been with Dr. saberman since she started her practice. she has very impressive credential with training at Mayo. When you come in with a problem she sits & listens to what you are saying. she makes you feel like you are her only patient. she is very caring & compassionate. i was once placed in a hospital for a diabetic problem by a referred specialist. she came by to say hi & see how i was doing. she is just about everything you would want for yourself & your family....

sophiesmom says " good company but need to be more open to their customers" about The Hartford

sophiesmom — Thu, 08 May 2008 07:35:11 GMT

We have been with hartford for several years. recently we receved a notice of cancellation because they had received info that my daughters license had been revoked. when we looked into it the reason it had been revoked was because when she had a recent accident, she did not have her insurance card. & therefore no proof of insurance. when we called hartford & told them why her license was suspended they said it did not make any difference why but the policy could not be reinstated. although it was not completely their fault, they did know we had insurance, they carried it. when we asked to speak to an underwriter i was told that underwriters did not speak to customers. this was totally ridiculous. i was an underwriting manager, i never got off that easy!! after calling back 3 times i became very insistant that we speak to an underwriting supervisor. after speaking with her she understood the problem. she contacted the bmv & confirmed insurance, she then reinstated...

sophiesmom says "easy to make" about oceanspray whole cranberries

sophiesmom — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 12:23:46 GMT

this may sound silly to some people, but i need to tell you about fresh cranberries..i have been making thanksgiving dinner for over 30 years. i have always bought the canned jellied cranberries mainly because i thought it would be much easier to have than fresh cranberries. i did not know how to make fresh cranberries & for some reason i thought it would be very complicated . this year i decided to try to make the fresh cranberries.. they were very easy to make. you just put in sugar a little water & the fresh cranberries. you boil for 10 minutes, cover & let cool in the pot & then place in the refigerator to chill. it is good because you can make a day ahead of time so they chill well & it is one less thing to do on thanksgiving morning. they were the hit of my dinner. the difference in taste between the canned & the fresh was unbelieveable. from now on i am only serving fresh cranberries. try them, you'll like them....

sophiesmom says "new cookie find" about Davids Cookies Butter Pecan Meltaways

sophiesmom — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 12:06:52 GMT

I was looking for something to send to my daughter for halloween. i happened across a store called Davids Cookies thru MY POINTS on the internet. I decided on a 2lb tin of butter pecans meltaways. the cookies were sent out immediately & arrived in 2 days. my daughter said they were the best cookies she had ever tasted. she said the cookies came delivered in tact. there were no broken or smashed cookies. the cookies had a very buttery taste with lots of pecans..she liked them so well, she has put them on her christmas list. this was a great alternative to the standard chocolate chip cookies. the tin cost $32 for 2 lbs. this sounds expensive but is very much in line with other gourment cookie stores. i feel this was a good find....

sophiesmom says "great selection of food" about sante fe casino buffet - Las Vegas, NV

sophiesmom — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 11:28:52 GMT

if you have ever been to las vegas you know that buffets are a dime a dozen. the sante fe casino buffet is one of the best. they have every kind of food from soup to dessert. the food is very fresh and hot. the food is tasty. They also serve carved prime rib, turkey & ham. they have a hugh mexican food station with chili verde & tamales. the price is very reasonable for a good buffet. lunch is about $12 & dinner about $15. this is a bargain considering the quality & variety of food. they have wonderful desserts with pies, cakes & best of all, a gelato ice cream stand which serves several different flavors of the best gelato I have tasted. this casino is in north las vegas. it is away from the normal tourist area. it is a very nice, clean casino & restaurant,...

sophiesmom says "my st. bernard loves it" about Purina One

sophiesmom — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 07:18:18 GMT

I have a 20 month old St Bernard who is a very finicky eater. We have found that Purina One with lamb & rice is a great dog food for her. It is full of vitamins & minerals & she eats it because she likes it. It appears to be a bit more oily than others & maybe that is why she likes it. Also I have found that she poops less eating this dog food...

sophiesmom says "this surgery saved my life" about Bariatric Surgery Surgical Procedure

sophiesmom — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 06:54:54 GMT

First of all, let me start by saying that I am not a professional or someone in the weight loss industry. I am a 57 year old woman who is 5ft 1 & weighed 324 lbs. I had a severe foot infection & was off my feet for over a year. During this time I gained about 150 lbs. I felt that I needed to do something drastic to lose weight before I suffered a heart attack or stroke. I weighed my options very carefully as to what i wanted to do. I decided on bariatric surgery. I checked with my doctor who recommended a surgeon. I checked out the surgeon & got references from his patients. I lived near a great bariatric hospital. I had to go thru a psychiatric exam, classes with the hospital bariatric department & an extensive interview with the surgeon. On June 20, 2006 I had my bariatric surgery. Since then I have lost 141lbs. This has not always been an easy road & it is a commitment you must make to yourself which includes exercise & staying on a regiment of vitamins & proper......
