tnk4god says "I am very happy with this shampoo" about Pert Plus Shampoo Plus Conditioner, Medium Normal Hair

tnk4god — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:56:21 GMT

I have been using this shampoo for many years and love it, the fact that I am a guy with very little hair has nothing to do with it, lol. I love that I can use conditioner and shampoo at the same time and that make my shower not have to last as long and there fore is more green, enviro friendly. The shampoo washes out fast and leaves my hair feeling more clean and soft then other shampoos. I love everything about it except the smell. It does smell like a wierd medicine. But oh well, it works good.

tnk4god says "Great games, but RROD is horrible" about Microsoft - xbox 360

tnk4god — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:50:06 GMT

This is a great system if you want to play it for 1 month at a time. I had the system for one month and then got the red ring of death on the console, where it has over heated and will not work anymore,. I sent it back to microsoft and they had it for a month and then sent it back to me "fixed" I played for another 2 weeks before it broke again, and back to sending it to the company for fixing. Then back to me for playing. The third time that it broke, they said that the warrenty did not cover it anymore, and so now I have a brick for a game system. I have talked to many people who have had the same experiance that I have had. STAY AWAY from the 360

tnk4god says "great graphics, but bad games." about Playstation 3 - 160GB

tnk4god — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:45:35 GMT

I have had this system since it hit the shelves and love the graphics on it. It usually out performs my xbox360 and my wii in those terms, but its lack of great games hinder the system greatly. I only have about 20 titles that are worth replay on the system and that is a very limiting part to any console. The 360 has a wider selection then the ps3 and the wii has funner games. But if you are looking for just a great system for it's looks then this is the one.

tnk4god says "One of the best consoles ever made" about Nintendo - Super NES Console

tnk4god — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:42:22 GMT

I have loved this system since it came onto the market. It is a great system and until the wii came out it was the best one that nintendo had made, much better then the gamecube or the n64. It is old school, but the controller was great and the 2d games were the best. A real upgrade over the nes and it held it's own up against the genesis. This was gaming in the 90's at it's best.

tnk4god says "it gets old very fast" about wii - Wii and Wii Fit

tnk4god — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:39:21 GMT

I love my wii, and needed to get into better shape, so I went out and bought the wii fit. This was exciting to play and have around to exercise with. I thought, wow what a great addition for my wii. Well that was months ago and now I have a balance board collecting dust. Why? because the games and exercises get old very fast. It is very repetive and does not = fun. So I have a great big waste on my hands and have not gotten more fit at all.

tnk4god says "This is a good game for young and old." about wii - Wii Sports

tnk4god — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:35:18 GMT

I love the wii sports games, and the controller works perfect for the games that are on the disc, I have played it now for 3 years and love bowling and tennis. They are great games for the entire family. My mother loves the bowling, she is 60 and used to do real bowling when she was younger in a league, but cannot pick up the heavy balls anymore, so she was very excited to play, and loved it.

tnk4god says "I would need a box of these to make it through the contract life" about Samsung - Model SGH-A707 Cell Phone

tnk4god — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 17:07:34 GMT

I had the a707 sync for less then a month when it started skipping calls, and losing reception all the time. I called the company to complain and they said, open the back and look at the color of a little dot and tell us what it is, in case I might have dropped it in water or something like that. I did and they said they would send me a box to have it returned to then for replacement. I sent back the phone and in a week they sent back my phone with a note saying that the phone had gotten wet somehow and that they would charge me $250 to replace the phone.

I told them that the phone had been with me at all times and that I had just gotten it and that there was no way that this phone had gotten wet, so we finally decided to split the difference and they sent me a new phone. It arrived minus the back cover and the battery. They told me that I should just use those items from my old phone. I started using the new phone and had used it for less then a week when I noticed that the battery cover...

tnk4god says "This is what Blu-ray is all about" about Planet Earth

tnk4god — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:12:07 GMT

Planet earth on blu-ray is what blu-ray was made for. This series of dvd's has made my owning a plasma tv all worth it. I can watch this series over and over again. I love the narrotor for the english bbc version, but sigourney weavers narroation for the discovery channel version is not nearly as good. This is the best dvd you can ever buy. I have not seen such clarity outside of the real thing and the scenes that they show you is amazing. I love the look and feel of this series and it will keep the little ones enthralled as well. Do not hesitate at buying this set, and since it is coming down in price it is a steal.

They spent 5 years making this set and it shows in almost every scene. Only a few of the scenes will not pop out at you when you watch them, and if you want to get your family into nature this is it. I think that mutal of omaha's wild kindom of my youth has been brought into the 21st century and I love every minute of it.

tnk4god says "a fun game everyone can enjoy" about Nintendo - Mario Kart Wii

tnk4god — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 23:01:13 GMT

The game Mario Kart for the Wii is a great game filled with great graphics and fun extras. Once you start this game you will see how it can hook you and make you want to play evern more. The online game play is great, so you can race people from all over the world. and the ability to use the wii remotes and a steering wheel can be very tempting. I myself prefer tyhe gamecube wave bird for this game as you have more control.

The unlockable content in this game is huge, with lots of extra player...karts and courses ready to be had. Once you get started with this game it is hard to put it down. The graphics are great and just add to the fun.

Some smaller kids can become upset about the online play as they have a hard time competing with the hard core players that abound there.

tnk4god says "A quick and easy hotel to stay at" about Howard Johnson Inn Airport Downtown - Spokane, WA

tnk4god — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 22:55:13 GMT

The Howard Johnson in spokane is a descent enough hotel, but the area around it is a little suspect. It is right across the street from a 7-11 that had all sorts of scary people loitering around. I would not let kids in the parking lot alone at this hotel. The breakfast was a little scary with the bread stale and the donuts at least 2-3 days old. The beds were nice and very comfortable.

The elevator was a little bit shaky and I would avaoid it if you can. I did enjoy the staff and the check-in was rather easy.

A descent stay if it is for one night.

tnk4god says "They will double charge you" about Days Inn Spokane at Liberty Lake - Liberty Lake, WA

tnk4god — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 22:48:35 GMT

I stayed at this hotel after seeing it advertised online. The online pictures showed a special suite with 2 rooms and a juquzzi in the main room with a kitchen. I called and reserved the room, and when I arrived they put me in a 2 room suite without the juquzzi. I complained and they changed my room to a one room with a juquzzi. I went back to the front desk and told them that this also was not the room I had reserved, and they said that the room listed on the website with the pictures had been given to the manager to stay in all the time and that the room was no longer available for regular guests. I was very upset and asked why it was listed on the website and they said they would take it down and refund me $20 for having to stay in another room. I said fine, because there was really nothing else I could do.

Then when I got home and checked my statement, it showed that they refunded the $20, and 2 days later charged the $20 back to my card. I called to complain and they said it must...

tnk4god says "great staff, very friendly people" about Quality Inn & Suites - Leavenworth, WA

tnk4god — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 22:36:31 GMT

This is a great place to stay. I arrived late in the evening just hoping they might have a room for the night. Not only did they have one, but stated that since the place was not very full they would upgrade me to a suite for free. It was a great room with a fireplace and extra room. I loved it and it was so very close to all the attractions.

This was one of my favorite stays anywhere. I loved the breakfast served in a banquet room for free, and there was a terrace overlooking the mountain just outside. I would recommend this room to anyone. Right up the street are great restuarants and you have your own fridge in the room. It has a nice pool, but I did not use it. If you stay here, just don't do it on the night I will be there....just in case I get the free upgrade again.

Wonderful place.

tnk4god says "Very nice management, they work with you" about Travelodge Anaheim International Inn - Anaheim, CA

tnk4god — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:28:39 GMT

The owners/management of this hotel, the travelodge in anahiem were great. Even though I paid for this hotel with priceline, they worked with me to get me the best room for my disability. They went out of thier way to help and were very knowledgable about the area and the attractions around. The breakfast was more then what I expected from a travelodge, if a little crowded. The pool is a little small and right next to the main harbor blvd so very loud.

Overall this was a great place to stay for the price. I paid $35 a night during peak travel time and was very happy with the overall trip there.

tnk4god says "This is the system for both grandma and grandson" about Nintendo Wii Console

tnk4god — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:13:56 GMT

This is a great system for grandparent to grandkids and everywhere inbetween, and if you want to have a quick one person game, or have a huge party of gamers. My mother loves the system and plays the wii sports all the time. She enjoys the MII that you can make that represents you. My kids love the games that involve the wii motes alot. They love playing on a big 50" plasma or on a projector in groups.

I have a hard time finding fault with the system at all, except for the downloadable games. Once you have paid for a game, if your system is sold/stolen etc you no longer have the rights to those games that you paid so much money for, They are attatched to the console and are not transferrable like a real game that you can just keep for the next gen system or sell if you do not like the game anymore. With downloading the wii games, you need to make sure that this is the game for you, because you cannot get refunded for it, nor trade it to another person even though you supposedly own...

tnk4god says "This is a must have console for on the go" about Nintendo - DS Lite Console

tnk4god — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:05:26 GMT

This is a Awesome system for on the go, and if you want to have a quick one person or multi person game. The screen is small, but has a great resolution for the games that you will play on it. It is small enough to fit in your pocket and has a good battery life for playing games. I used the system when waiting in the doctors office, or at the movies before the movie would start. Or waiting in line, like at Disneyland.

There are alot great games out for the DS Lite, and they run from gambit from older gen games like astroids, frogger and the like to next gen games. There are games for the kids, and some good word games for the older generation.

In all it has alot of upside and very little down. I would recommend buying this system for a tween to adult, and I am 39 but play the system everyday.

tnk4god says "Not what I was expecting" about Hotel Lusso - Spokane, WA

tnk4god — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 18:18:01 GMT

I wanted a nice romantic getaway, so I picked Hotel Lusso and instead wound up in a very poor area of town with a very subpar hotel. The room was very cold and uninviting, even when the fake fireplace was turned on, and the view was attrocious. For the amount I paid for the room, I was surprised at how little it offered.
