ubermom says "Suave's variety of shampoos and conditioners give high quality ." about sauve Suave shampoos and conditioners

ubermom — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 05:21:13 GMT

Suave has a variety of shampoos and conditioners that work like highly touted salon shampoos and conditioners at a fraction of the cost. With scents like tropical coconut and cucumber melon and a host of others, there is something for everyone.

ubermom says "The LG cellphone is the best little cellphone I've ever owned." about Alltel - LG Cellphone Cell Phone

ubermom — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 01:13:23 GMT

The LG cellphone is simple but oh so versatile. I keep all my appointments on the calendar, set multiple alarms, and am hands free for driving with Bluetooth. Did I mention the camera is nice too? And oh, yes, the digital sound quality is great!

ubermom says "Very good basic printer." about Hewlett Packard HP Deskjet 5440 Printer

ubermom — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 22:34:06 GMT

If you don't need an all in one printer, the 5400 series from HP is the way to go. Sturdy, with a retractable print tray to catch the printed pages, this printer is a real workhorse. I know, I printed out whole chapters of text for class.

The printer also does a brilliant job on color printing.

ubermom says "Cute and functional, my daughter loves hers." about Jansport Wasabi Backpack

ubermom — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 20:21:02 GMT

The Jansport Wasabi is wonderful. My daughter packs it full almost to overflowing and it holds up wonderfully.

Not only that, she was able to find one that she thought was cute.

ubermom says " Fandango sure beats waiting in line" about Fandango

ubermom — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 19:57:26 GMT

The Fandango site is useful for getting movie show times, finding hard to find movies and buying tickets for really popular movies so that time is not wasted standing in line for a sold-out show.

Every movie in town is listed along with a brief synopsis link, so you can find out more about that indie movie people are raving about.

There is a small fee added to each ticket, so I would only use it for blockbusters that could be sold out.

ubermom says "I love my lime green LG phone!" about LG - AX 8600 Cell Phone

ubermom — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 19:26:40 GMT

I don't want a phone that is smarter than I am. I want to be able to make and receive calls, keep track of appointments, and maybe text occasionally. The fact that this phone has an easy to use camera too is a bonus.

It does come with a home charger, but not a car charger.

ubermom says "I am proud to be a Phoenix!" about University of Phoenix - Bachelor's Criminal Justice

ubermom — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 19:14:12 GMT

University of Phoenix is the university for someone in the workforce looking to advance in their current career or to change careers.

The classes are intense, but it takes only two and a half to three years to earn a Bachelor's Degree and classwork can be fit around a busy schedule because of the online setting.

Prior learning assesments can use your job experience to earn elective credits.

Classes are taught by people already in the field that you are working towards. Their experiences give a hands on kind of learning experience.

ubermom says "Not for everybody, but It's a godsend for me" about Claritin D 24 Hour Allergy and Congestion Tablets

ubermom — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 04:21:45 GMT

I can't always afford it, but Claritin-D is really the only over-the-counter medication that always works for me. It does nothing for my brother, though, so that's why I say it's not for everyone....

ubermom says "A power tool for the kitchen." about Black and Decker Hand Mixer

ubermom — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 00:23:37 GMT

Okay, the mixer does sound like a power tool, but it works like one, too. I have made many a cheesecake with this mixer (and a whole lot of other stuff). It really is a power tool for the kitchen. It's easy to use, sturdy, and easy to clean and reasonably priced. I have had mine for 15 years and it's still going strong. What more could you ask for?...

ubermom says "P F Changs is friendly and fun" about P F Chang's China Bistro - Albuquerque, NM

ubermom — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 18:54:23 GMT

The atmosphere at P F Chang's can easily accomodate a business lunch or a romantic evening. It's slightly upscale, but the portions are so large that after the meal there is easily a meal for the next day. And the food is fabulous.

The waitstaff is very friendly even when it is busy. I have been there several times and have never had to wait long for service.

They have take/out as they are located near many businesses. They also do delivery in a limited delivery area.

ubermom says "Good prices, good customer service" about Safeco

ubermom — Wed, 07 May 2008 20:03:46 GMT

I switched from AIG to Safeco for a savings of over $200 per year. I have made changes to the policy and have always had good customer service. Luckily, I have not had to file a claim, knock on car....

ubermom says "Awesome stainfighting power" about Spray n' Wash Dual Power Stain Remover

ubermom — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 21:25:18 GMT

Spray 'n' Wash Dual Power is incredible! You can even see it working to power out stains. Convenient and easy to use and a pretty good deal at the checkou stand too....

ubermom says "Gossip Girl-You know you love her." about Gossip Girl

ubermom — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 16:08:21 GMT

This show about the upper crust in New York is full of dirt to dish and dish they do! Based on the book series of the same name, the series is outlandish drama and stunning fashions. I was hooked on the books (thanks to my daughter) and the series does not disappoint....

ubermom says "Pink Floyd at their best." about Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

ubermom — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 01:51:50 GMT

There is a reason that this album stayed on the Hot 100 album chart for more than 900 weeks and still holds the World record for most weeks on the top 100. It stands the test of time. Each generation discovers it as if it was new.

Now that's rock and roll. And I like it!

ubermom says "great plans, lousy customer service" about Sprint Nextel

ubermom — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 21:29:46 GMT

I stood in line for 40 minutes to cash in on customer apprection benefits. One person waited on a growing number of customers while we all waited and waited. Finally another customer service representative came out to help people.

Calling on the phone is no better. If the automated system can't help, you're stuck-waiting for someone who can't understand your problem.

ubermom says "Portable music at its best!" about Apple - iPod Nano (4 GB)

ubermom — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 23:37:38 GMT

The cool thing about any of the IPod products is that you not only have the music on your IPod, but it is also on your computer as well. The IPod Nano has a good capacity (about 500 songs) at a faily decent price (about $149.00).

Not only can you download songs from ITunes, you can rip CD's from you own collection to the computer and sync them to your IPod, making them even more portable than a portable CD player.

The IPod Nano comes with earphones, but can be used in the car with an adaptor.

To delete songs, just unclick the song on the computer. When the Nano is syncing, it will delete any unchecked songs.

It is, quite simply a joy!

Be careful, though. The small size makes the Nano easy to misplace.

ubermom says "A bunch of fun in the New Mexico sun!" about Gardunos of Mexico - Albuquerque, NM

ubermom — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 22:43:14 GMT

In addition to the location on Academy, there are four other locations in Albuquerque for this fun and friendly cultural delight. Birthdays are a treat complete with singing, sombrero and a complimentary desert (fabulous!).

The service is great, the portions are huge (the fruit salad can feed 3 or 4), and the atmosphere is immersed in the culture. Many evenings mariachis sing throughout the restaurant and they take requests.

The restaurants are family owned and have always been.

If you're visiting Albuquerque, be sure to stop in. The website has all of the locations and menus, so you can even decide beforehand what you want.

Muy delicioso!

ubermom says "Picks up the dust other dusters leave behind." about Swiffer Duster®

ubermom — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 22:23:05 GMT

The Swiffer Duster comes with a handle and disposable dusters. It fits into spaces that other dusters do not. The duster also picks up the dust instead of just stiiring it up like many other dusters and cloths do.

The Swiffer Duster is compact, making it easy to store. It does have a short handle, so you might have a little trouble with high places.

The Swiffer Duster is also only for dry surfaces.

I highly recommend the Duster for all households especially those where household members have allergies.

ubermom says "Is this Pizza Hut or Pizza Shack?" about Pizza Hut - Big Rapids, MI

ubermom — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 23:38:14 GMT

I was in Big Rapids in May and I took my daughter and her friends to Pizza Hut. The person taking the order was surly, our pizza was okay but not worth the money we paid. The waitress was really nice, though.

The pizza was filling. We ordered a meat lover's pizza and I really expected more meat and more sauce. It was kind of dry.

I was only in town for one day, so the restauarant may have been having an off day. My daughter doesn't go there because it's too far away from her house. We stopped in on our way back from a concert in Ohio.

We were tired and hungry and the person taking the order was very short with us. Maybe he was having a bad day.

I may take another chance on the Pizza Hut in Big Rapids because it is way better than the one near my house in Albuquerque which is not a sit-down restaurant and has horrible service.
