tantiem says "Long time client still happy." about American Family Insurance

One of the best things we found with American Family is that they assume a young driver is a good driver untily your youth proves otherwise.

Our daughter has enjoyed low rates for a young driver who is part of our household for the four years she has been driving.

tantiem says "Last set of cookware I plan to buy." about Le Creuset Cookware

In my earlier life I owned copper bottomed Revereware and Pampered Chef's early cookware. Both left me wanting something else, but I was not willing to spend money on more expensive versions of what I found wanting. I knew about Le Creuset from cooking magazines and books, but it seemed like a big investment. My husband suggested I cook use his cast iron camping cookware. Nice, but I hated caring for the stuff. Four years ago I took the plunge and bought a starter set from Penneys. I have not once regretted the decision.

Yes, this cookware is heavy. If you aren't able to pick this stuff up, as in the case of my mother and cousin, this isn't the cookware for you.

Clean-up is surprisingly easy and you are never afraid of warping a pan.

When it is time for my younger daughter to marry a small set of this cookware will be my gift to her and her husband. That's how great I think this stuff is.

tantiem says "Cut my laundry load in half." about Whirlpool Duet - Washer Dryer

I purchased my set last winter and have been thrilled with the results overall. I was able to purchase both the washer and dryer, with one pedestal, for $1700. My water bill is half of what it was at this time last year, this includes a rate increase by my utility company.

There are four dogs in my home and I truly appreciate the sanitary wash cycle. It takes a bit longer than any other cycle, but it certainly cleans dog bedding well, to say nothing of the confidence I have in the cleanliness of household linens. I have yet to find a cycle which cannot be individualized to some extent.

Clothing has been cleaner and fresher smelling and I am currently 1/4 of the way through my third container (100oz each) of HE detergent in ten months, with my last washer that would have been about five containers of a similar size in the same time. I'm having similar results with fabric softener. I also no longer need to add whiteners to my laundry.

The dryer is giving similar satisfaction...
