Hey there! I'm Meredith, a southern girl gone city. I adore all things Chicago... discovering new restaurants, shops, parks and more! I am a travel fanatic, road biker, gelato lover and wine snob to name a few. Animals, TiVo, bike rides, live music, good friends, dear family, anything chocolate, and roof top decks are a few of my favorite things. Now it's YOUR turn!

HI All, I will be going by "LUEYBUG". I have 2 children ages 35 and 31 and raised them as a single Mom. I am now raising a grandson who is 10 years old...I have had custody of him since he was 5 months old.

I work full-time and then run in the evenings and weekends full-time, as the chauffer and biggest fan to my grandson at different sporting events!

I love to read and Jonathan Kellerman is my favorite all time author. Gardening is my way to relax and remove myself from everyday stress. My all time favorite thing and place is a Beach...anywhere, just so there is SUN, sand and the wonderful sound of the waves rushing to shore...This sound can completely remove me from all sounds around me...I can shut the world out completely.

Experimenting with different coffees and teas are a hobby for me, as well as experimenting with the foods I cook.  I love to change recipes around, to add things for a new taste.

Poetry and writing essays take up alot of my time and I currently have a few poems in publication.

Wow!! Now you know more about me then most people I come into contact with on a daily basis.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Hi there.  I'm Denise, happily married to my hubby Jeff for 28 years. We have children ages 26 and 23.  We have a precious 16 month old granddaughter.

I work full time from my home, with occasional visits to our office -- I love working in my house slippers.

I am a NASCAR fan (Dale Jr. and Kevin Harvick) and never miss a NASCAR-related anything on TV.

I am an avid coupon collector and sharer.  I'm on afullcup.com and follow  many blogs for moms who use coupons.  I'm in several coupon trains/round robins and enjoy searching online for coupons and shopping deals at CVS, Wags, and Target.

Looking forward to finding new friends!

Although our Company is originally from Toronto, Canada, and we are located in Canada as well, I found this website very friendly and informative, and decided to be part of it.

I want to know when you will be available to Canadians, so we can have our reviews about our companies and have our addresses added to your website as well.

Thank you for using your website for opinions, marketing, and everything else, and hope having you as friend, aliance and colegue as well near future!

Hi, I'm Heidi. Wife, Mother to 3 kids - 6 , 5, & 4 (I know, I know, I'm slightly crazy and could blow at any moment). The rest of you mom's out there know exactly what I'm talking about. We love our kids more than anything, but they sure do test our sanity don't they. Anyway, I love this site, I'm the queen of researching things, I've told all my friends about it. I actually worked with Matt Moog for many years at coolsaving.com (not Q interactive). He was a great guy to work for any there was so much excitement with a start up, everyone felt like we were really part of something.

I love this site because it has everything, reviews, blogs, tips - I always feel like I find something new. Great to be here. Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hi all - I'm BeeBopper (we keep bees as a hobby).

 

I found this site via the Bzz Agent site.

 

I love this site!

 

I've submitted a couple of reviews and I used your site to make my decision on my coffee pot purchase yesterday (I got the Bunn).

 

I'm very talkative.  (Danger Will Robinson - she's talking and we can't get her to shut up).

Hi my name is Donna. I am a mother of 3 teenage boys, that range from 14- 19. I am married to a great man for 20 years now. I love to try new things,and meet new people. Baking is my passion. My newest adventure is couponing. It does take time but, seems to be worth each minute. I was born a floridian, but now you can call me a Georgia Peach. My oldest son Robert just left for  Iraq, to serve his 18 months, so, thats a little hard for me right now. So, i thought i would try and keep my mind focused on meeting new friends.

Hello Everyone. I'm Kevin. A AZ native that's always looking for a new way to stay cool in the summer. Which is officially here as it's been over 100 for over a week now. Time to hibernate for the summer! I have a wife and 14 year old daughter and we like to travel as much as humanly possible. In addition to that, I enjoy camping, cooking, BBQing, Grilling, having people over as opposed to going out, watching movies, the computer and of course Pina Coladas! I'm excited to have found this site as I like to look up reviews before I buy something, but most review sites seem to be full of the negative Nancy's and light on the honest, factual reviews. Whereas here seems to be much different. Looking forward to sharing viewpoints with you all!

aloha!

i'm krista and i have lived on the kona coast of the big island for nearly six years now!  before that i lived my entire life in san diego county--born and raised in ramona, and settled into married life in santee.

i've been married to the most patient man alive for 14 years, and our daughter will be 12 in june.  add to the mix our two cats and two parakeets, and our condo is usually completely chaotic.  i'm also a neatfreak that is constantly overwhelmed and out-voted by two dedicated pack rats, so anything that helps my "everything has it's place" mentality is a good thing!

i love baseball (go padres!), books, music, american idol, painting and redecorating, my little pink laptop, sharpie markers, most television comedies, eBay, going to concerts and my roomba, among many other things.

i work at a local utility company and write at night.  maybe i'll finish writing a book someday, but mostly i write bits and pieces for my own enjoyment that will never be strung together into anything cohesive.

my current goal is to hurry up and pay off my mom-car that my husband thought i should be driving and buy myself the mini cooper convertible that I THINK i should be driving.  :)

I work as a computer tech specialist building custom computers, and have worked this field since 1997. I have 2 kids, and a wonderful fiancee. This is a good site too, very helpful.

Hey, everyone! I've been on Viewpoints a little over a month now and figure it's probably time to introduce myself to the community.  My name is Darcy, and my husband and I live just outside Cincinnati, Ohio.  I work in the mental health field, which is one of those jobs that you tend to carry home with you, so I have to find outlets in the evening...enter Viewpoints and Facebook!   

I wanted to point out something I just noticed this week...I've been on several other major websites that have communities and discussion boards.  I have yet to see one negative, rude, or inappropriate comment on Viewpoints.  I've seen other discussion boards where foul language and disparaging comments are more frequent than anything positive or helpful, and I just think this is such a classy, wonderful group of folks who have gathered here.  I'm so excited to be a part of this site!

I'm a newbie.  I'm just getting started here, check out my reviews, please?

Okay, I am married, have two adult children and 1 grandchild.  I love to read and learn about everything and anything.  I also like to do crafting, surf the internet and find great sites like this one. I am the chief cook and bottle washer in my home. Looking for great ideas and hopefully some great online friends.

Hello everyone, I'm new here and still figuring out how everything works. I've been married for almost 30 years. We met in high school and have 4 grown children and 6 grandchildren. When I have free time, in between babysitting and taking care of my ill mother in-law I enjoy writing poetry and painting angels. I also love reading Darrel's stories and even his books. We met on the poetry site and have been friends since. Darrel invited me to join this site. I'm beginning to really enjoy it here and hope to make many friends.

I grew up on the east coast. I'm a wife to a disabled Iraq Army veteran (2 tours). I've lived in 5 states, I hated Fort Hood :P I love my pets. I live in Iowa, which is where my retired husband is attending school. I am loving it! I have 2 kitties and 1 little rambunctious puppy. I lost my friend I had for my whole marriage: my good old dog Bailey in April. I like to read and take pictures and ride my bike around my town exploring things. I have no children, but admire those who take it on! I'm conservative, but open-minded. I am an advocate for breast cancer research and free and low-cost mammograms to all who need them. I lost my mom to the disease when I was 15.

Hello,

I've been married for almost ten years to my wonderful husband.  We have four great children.  We are a homeschooling family and enjoy the freedom of being able to choose this option for our family.  We live in SW Missouri and enjoy the outdoors.  I love to garden and consider myself a beginner so I am learning a lot right now.  We are a Christian family and enjoy serving God in our local community and church.  We would like to travel more but are unable to financially at this time but we hope to be able to in the future!
