tigresswords says "A Classic to be Added to Your Collection" about Benny & Joon

tigresswords — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 10:45:29 GMT

Benny and Joon is a classsic movie in my opinion but not one in the tradional sense. Johnny Depp's performance in this movie does not disappoint. As per his usual roles, he plays a unique quirky character that you will adore.

The premise of this movie is about mental illness and finding ones way through it to move on into self sufficiency. It's also about trials and tribulations and love. How love transcends all things and all people.

There is a deep story line here with many comedic points. Some comedy moments are very very memorable and I bet you will find yourself, at some point imatating one of them. I know my significant other did, in a restaurant full of people with another couple (who had not even seen the movie no less). It made them laugh too. You have to see this movie to understan and appreciate it fully. You will neither forget it or regret it!

tigresswords says "Pleasant Smelling and None greasy" about Johnson's Softlotion Melt Away Stress Body Lotion

tigresswords — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 10:28:14 GMT

I recently bought a trial size of Johnson's Softlotion Melt Away Stress Body Lotion. I figured I give it a try. They have several other kinds in this line. I chose this one because it said "melt away stress and Lavendar" in it. I love the scent of Lavendar.

True to their word, this lotion was fast absorbing and was not greasy feeling, which I can't stand and many lotions tend to do. Or else they will leave a tacky residue feeling too. I noticed also that the scent of Lavendar was also very light, as stated (exclusive AROMASOOTHE -trademarked), and not over powering. The product also has chamomile in it which should be noted and traditionally is known for it's calming property's.

I can say that I did find myself calmed and relaxed, and my skin was definitely moisturized. Since my sking is overly dry, I needed to reapply it before the 24 hours were up so your mileage may vary on that claim. It comes in a purplr bottle. I will be buying another normal size!

tigresswords says "Dependable and User Friendly" about Dell Inspiron E1705 PC Notebook

tigresswords — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 09:58:51 GMT

I have had my Dell Inspirion E1705 now for about 3 years. I absolutely love it! I decided to go with a 17" screen because my eyes tire easily and I just really wanted the bigger window for viewing ease. I also do some graphic work too so it helps that was as well.

The one thing I can say is it's a little on the heavier side but not too bad. It came loaded with Windows Vista as well. At first I was a little put off by that since I had just become accustomed to Windows XP and I am always a little resistant to change, especially to untried products just out on the market not to long. I can say that after a little while of unhappy adjustment, I did begin to really like it and now I love it. More so then Windows XP now.

As far as the Inspirion E1705 (also can be found under 9400 series), I had the occasion to need some parts for it due to my stupidity (a new keyboard and touchpad plate). I had no problem locating these items online to replace them and they were pretty easy to even install...

tigresswords says "Not Very Durable" about 5 Arts & Crafts for Ideas for Kids bendaroos

tigresswords — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 22:58:39 GMT

I bought two (2) sets of fof Bendaroos from Walgreens for my kids, ages 9 and 11 at the time for Christmas. They did not last but a week before I found them all over the house. First of all they are VERY skinny and perhaps 3 to 4 inches long. It takes an awful lot of them to make anything near what they show on the commercials and even with 2 full sets we could not quite build some of them.

Second of all, they are extremely stickly (which I guess is how they stick to things as advertised). Stick they do! They do stick to walls and most everything and I do mean everything! On our windows they left behind a mark from what ever they were treated with. Same thing on our walls (which only are painted with a flat paint). They left some kind of residue on the paint that was almost oil like. Forget it around carpet! Oh my gosh, anything other then indoor/outdoor carpet (and even that too) they get stuck in the fibers terribly. You are left with a very stick hairy Bendaroo then! Yup, if there is...

tigresswords says "Off the beaten path a secret lies!" about Ocean Stars Seafood Restaurant - Apex, NC

tigresswords — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 02:55:06 GMT

Ocean Stars is a litte off the beaten path so it's probably often missed. What a shame as they have really good fresh seafood and ample portions. Can we talk about their home made clam chowder? WOW! You must try it. Whether you like fried, baked, or broiled seafood or not, they have something for you. For those that don't like seafood they offer up BBW ribs and pasta entrees as well as other American fare and items for the children. They have plenty of space to accomodate a decent amount of clientele and while might be busy, you generally don't find too much of a wait. They aren't open on Mondays so don't find yourself craving seafood on that day and want to try them out (a mistake I made once).

If you have unexpected company (or not so unexpected) they can accomodate large partied. If you need catering done they can do that as well. Need some carry out for the night, they offer that too. I find their prices very reasonable and the food super delicious. How can you go wrong with those two?......

tigresswords says "Closest Pizza to NY Style found in area then all the rest!" about Dominic's NY Pizza - Cary, NC

tigresswords — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 02:35:10 GMT

I am really choosy about my pizza. While most around here have picked other places for their choices of pizza places, this is my place for the closest to NY style then all the rest. I have have tried far to many to count at this time and come up empty but this place is fantastic! You can keep your chain store Dominos, Papa Johns, or Pizza Hut/Inn places. They can not compare to this place at all. I've never had a pizza come home dark on the bottom from there. The cheese is real mozzarella and not some blend of cheeses either. It's ooey and gooey just the way it should be. Their toppings are just right as well. Their subs are good too. While they only have a limited selection and they aren't well stacked or known for their bread like Subway or Quizno's, they are still very delicious, satisfying and filling. Afterall, they aren't specializing in subs anyway!

They lots of different kinds of entrees to choose from if that is the way you want to go as well as meals to choose from for the family......

tigresswords says "Japanese to keep you coming back for more!" about Fujisan Japanese Steak House - Raleigh, NC

tigresswords — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 02:17:33 GMT

While many in the area may seek out upscale Japanese Steak houses or Sushi eateries, Fujisan has both! It welcomes you each time you come and if you go there after a few times they seem to recoginize your face. It is family friendly, while some couples and older people might find that as a draw back at times, I've never seen it become such a problem that truly disturbed any neighbors at the table. The food is pleasing to the eye and well cooked right there in front of you hibachi - style. You can get your sushi alone or with your meal, have an appetizer, grab a drink while you wait for your table from the bar (the wait has never been that long at all - 15 minutes tops), or just enjoy watching the chefs at other tables while you wait.

Their menu is pretty decent as far as selections and I think you'd be hard pressed to not be able to find something you like one way or another. They even offer children's items too! They have lunch special's as well during the week. Their staff have always......

tigresswords says "A Taste of Home really is just like a taste of home." about A Taste of Home

tigresswords — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 00:24:03 GMT

A Taste of Home is a very down to earth magazine with recipes that seem to bring all the comfort foods out and then some. Very easy reads and very easy to make. That's not to say you won't find some more sophisticated recipes, especially for special occasions, as well as recipes that are specialties of some kind or another. In this you will find kid pleasing, family tested recipes. You'll also find local events listed if you happen to want to participate in person. The only thing I can find wrong with it is that it is not published enough times a year!...
