spykesfaythe says "Criminal Minds is the most intelligent crime drama on TV" about Criminal Minds

spykesfaythe — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:43:03 GMT

The first time I saw this show was more or less by accident. I spotted Mandy Patinkin (My name is Inigo Montoya) and since I am a huge fan of his, I stuck around. Then I noticed Thomas Gibson and couldn't believe that it was the same guy I had seen on Dharma and Greg. The show is intelligent and ever-interesting. Plots are well written, the main characters are likeable and well-cast, and the unsubs are many times unnerving and sympathetic at the same time. In interest of full disclosure, I must admit that I most look forward to seeing Matthew Gray Gubler's Dr. Spencer Reid. MG Gubler embodies what I believe to be the very spirit of Dr. Reid. Of course, I love all the characters and the actors who play them. There seems to be a great spirit among these folks as well as the writers.

spykesfaythe says ""Bones" is one great show" about Bones

spykesfaythe — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:31:01 GMT

I knew when I heard that David Boreanaz had been cast as FBI Agent Seeley Booth that I would be watching the show. I loved him on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel the Series and was anxious to see him expand his acting "chops" in a non-genre show. I feel like he has improved his acting skills (and directorial skills) significanly over the years. I was not aware of Emily Deschanel before this show, but I have become a fan of hers as well. These two actors seem to share a wonderful chemistry that adds to the overall quality of the series. The show is a great combination of comedy and drama. Smiles and tears are interchangeable while viewing Bones. While I do miss Zach desperately and wish that he would return (though I've heard that is unlikely) I do still enjoy the show. I discuss the show regularly with co-workers and highly recommend it to everyone.

spykesfaythe says "Cheesy, though surprisingly fun" about Carmen Electra StripTease

spykesfaythe — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:16:26 GMT

I was like many other people who, I'm sure, see the title and think it will be cheesy. Well, you're right. It is. But....I gave it a shot and I was quite surprised that I really liked it and felt like I got a good workout. I saw it "on demand" on our cable station and then rented the DVD so I could experience the whole workout. True, it took a few times to "get" the routine down since I am somewhat clumsy and uncoordinated, but the DVD is a little repetitive so you can learn. I have recommended the workout to co-workers and would continue to do so.

spykesfaythe says "Easy to use" about Bounce Dryer Bar

spykesfaythe — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:05:04 GMT

My overall opinIon of the product is good. I particularly enjoy the ease of using the Bounce bar. Not having to jump up during every load and add softener is a great plus. And the classic Bounce fragrance is nice as well. However, I find that the scent is not really enough for my "wearing" clothes. I need to add liquid softener to the wash to get the stronger fragrance that I am accustomed to. In addition, I think that the price is a little high. With coupons and/or a sale, it may be a better deal and a better selling product. One other possible con is that I have noticed cracking in the product. I would recommend the product for everyday use and general laundry.

spykesfaythe says "Fun and intense workout!!" about Turbo Jam Workout Series

spykesfaythe — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:47:00 GMT

Give Turbo Jam a try! Chalene makes exercising fun and interesting. You don't even know that you're working out...until you start sweating that is!! There are options for beginners and for more advanced exercisers. The people on the DVD's are "real" people, not fake-looking models with no personality. Keep watching after workout is over for a look at their stories.

spykesfaythe says "Turbo Jam is fun, fast and funky..makes exercise easier." about Turbo Jam Workout Series

spykesfaythe — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 01:21:45 GMT

Turbo Jam is the "funnest" workout that I've ever done. You get involved in the music and the dynamics of Chalene and her crew...then forget you are exercising. Time goes by quickly and you get a good workout while you have fun. I recommend all the workouts for anyone--even beginners can learn the steps and choreography after a few tries. Chalene offers a lower intensity workout as well as a "pumped up" workout in each session.

spykesfaythe says "Bella is a great little razor." about BIC Soleil Bella 4-Blade Razors

spykesfaythe — Sun, 24 May 2009 20:43:41 GMT

I received a sample of this product from Bzz Agent. I tried it that very night and was pretty impressed. I've always had trouble with razors--the head is too wide to shave my, uh, armpits (sounds so gross, I know). I never feel like I've gotten a good, clean shave but this Bic Soleil Bella Razor did the job pretty well. It's a pretty color, too. I would recommend it to people and will probably buy it myself when the samples run out.

spykesfaythe says "Rates are so-so....service is better" about Allstate

spykesfaythe — Tue, 27 May 2008 20:45:23 GMT

Although our rates are much higher than anyone else we know, I can't fault Alltate for their service. I had an accident a couple of years ago and got charged (whether I think I was at fault is another story!). The accident happened at about 7:30 a.m., my husband called the agent's office shortly after 8 and by 10 they were calling me to give me the rental car claim number and wanting to know if I was ready to pick up the rental. They assessed the damages and paid the claim without delay or problem. So, I'm not thrilled with the rates, but the service is good...I guess that's worth paying a few dollars more for....

spykesfaythe says "Seal the Deal--vacuum sealers rock!" about Food Saver Vacuum Sealer (V2480)

spykesfaythe — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 00:38:18 GMT

Use this Food Saver Vacuum Sealer and start saving money. Even items that absorb odors (like cheesecake) stay fresh and tasty in the sealed bags. They are great for cooking your food--straight from the freezer. You can even re-use the bags (not after cooking in them or using them for raw meats). It's my favorite kitchen gadget. I'm so glad that I have it. ...
