tlwsj says "Great selection of destinations" about RCI

tlwsj — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 18:34:46 GMT

RCI offers so many choices and so much flexibility in planning vacations. For the most part their resorts are great. They now offer online reviews for many resorts, so if there is a bad one, it becomes apparant pretty quickly.

I really appreciate the ability to use the website in researching different resorts and areas when planning our vacations too.

When calling RCI, they have always been patient and helpful.

I finally had to write down and save the steps I need to take to accomplish the depositing of our own timeshare with RCI. It is not very easy - partly because of the rules of our timeshare, and partly because of RCI's system. But I find it is well worth it.

tlwsj says "So convenient" about Netflix

What I love the most about the NetFlix, is I can put movies on my queue at any time. Used to go to Hollywood video and I could never think of what movies we wanted to see. No longer a problem. We don't care if we see the latest movie, just so long as we eventually see the films that interest us.

I also love the recommendations. Have found wonderful gems that I would otherwise be unaware of this way.

Only problem is once in awhile you get a bum disk, which is very frustrating. But they are good about replacing it with no questions asked.

tlwsj says "Just say no" about Weight Watchers

Before you start your next diet --- you should know that 95 to 98% of diets fail, and most dieters end up putting on the weight they lost and more. Also the weight lost is often muscle but the weight coming back on is fat - so you literally end up fatter than you started. And fat cells are forever!

If you feel you must go to weight watchers, I would encourage you to get the positive things from it - ideas about healthy eating and adding exercise to your life. AND SKIP THE WEIGH IN. You don't have to weigh-in to participate in Weight Watchers. If you feel it helps you live a healthier life style that's great, but don't make it about losing weight.

You can be fit and fat. I would recommend you check out the HAES (Health at Every Size) movement.

tlwsj says "Simply the best" about Virgin Mobile

tlwsj — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 16:26:54 GMT

I love my Virgin Mobile service. It is absolutely worry-free. When my balance is too low, I have it set to automatically top off my account, so I never run out of minutes on my account. Coverage is good, and the pre-pay cost is the lowest I've found for the service you get....

tlwsj says "Giving has never been so easy" about igive.com

What a great idea! I have used mypoints for a long time; but they are very limited on what you can do donation-wise. With igive, I can make sure my favorite charity gets a benefit for purchases I would be making anyway! Who can argue with anything that makes shopping guilt-free!...
