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!

Hey guys-

I'm Allie. I have lived almost my whole life in Iowa City, Iowa, though I used to live in San francisco California, for about a year from ages two to three. Now I love writing and want to go into journalism and write books on the side. I love writing, reading, and my email and I have read each Twilight Saga book at least ten times.

Okay, I'm new to this so here goes.  Hi everyone,  My name is Kim.  I live in Tennessee.  I spend my days at work, better known as K & J Garden Fresh Produce.  In other words, I own a produce market!  I love meeting people, talking to them and getting to know them.  I love to cook and eat, especially desserts, any given time if I don't have customers or a project going in the store you can find me reading a murder mystery or a cookbook.  I have two wonderful boys who are grown and married, which just leaves me and the honeybunch. We have been married 27 years and have 3 beautiful grandchildren.  I don't have a lot of spare computer time but I love to get on when I can.  I would love to swap recipes, laughs and a few tears with anyone out there who would like to be friends.

Hi, I'm Stacey.  I've been on here for a while but just now introducing myself. I'm 30, married with a 20 month old daughter. I've lived in Chicago my whole life, in pretty much the same area. only moved 3 times, most recently a year ago to the Avondale neighborhood.

I'm a SAHM. I quit my job halfway through my maternity leave. I just couldn't bear to go back to work and leave my daughter in the care of someone else.

When I did work, it was mostly office work. My last job being 5 years in the office of a heating and cooling supply house. 

We have a mini Shih Tzu and a black and white cat.

Guess that's about it. glad to be here and hopefully submitting helpful reviews.

Hi everyone. My name is Linda and I am west757 online. My husband and I live in Moorestown, NJ and we have three grown children. We are expecting our first grandchild in October. Can't wait!!

I am a semi retired homemaker. Semi retired you ask? Well, since my youngest is a sophomore in college, my "mom" chores have definitely diminished giving me a some free time. However, our middle child is severly handicapped and he lives with us. He requires 24/7 care which my husband and I and a cadre of nurses give him. My youngest, beside being a college student, is also a softball catcher for her school, so we try to catch as many games as we can.

We are also the proud "human" parents of three terriers, Monty (Cairn), Abby (mix of Cairn and Westie) and Yuri (West Highland). They are pretty active and keep us hopping. Our house is currently on the market and I keep busy making sure it is presentable for potential buyers while trying to sort through years of collectibles. We hope to downsize soon!

I am active in our community and was recently reelected to the school board for my third time! I really enjoy this "volunteer" positon. It feels great to have an active voice in our school system, especially for the special education students.

In my spare time I blog about survey sites and contribute to sites like Viewpoints. If you want to look at my blog here's the link: http://west757.blogspot.com/

I hope you enjoy it!

Hi, I am Gwen (geebees).  I am from Milwaukee, Wi.  I have been to Chicago numerous time, my niece and her husband live there.  I absolutely love Navy Pier- Have you been there yet?  If you have children, it is a wonderful place!  There you can also take a boat cruise on Lake Michigan.  My niece had her reception on one of the boats - I had to take sea sick pills but it was fantastic. I have lived in many places, including down south but came back to mid-west because that's where family is.  Nice to meet you and the community!  Look forward to many conversations.

Hello.  I'm Katherine.  I live in Washinton DC.  I currently work for a company called Maurice Electric Supply.  I am a sales consultant.  I sale lighting fixtures for residential homes and I do some commercial jobs.  When I am not working, I am either at home watching television, at the movies, shopping at the mall or out to dinner.  I do enjoy going to the movies.  My favorite genre is Horror and some Sci-Fi.  I do not have a favorite restaurant but I do enjoy Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Phillips and TGI Fridays. 

People that never lived in DC but want to or is new in town usually ask me where are the hottest clubs in the area.  I don't go to clubs much but I can say this for those who are interested areas like Adams Morgan, Georgetown, U Street and Dupont Circle would be the place to go if interested. 

I am single.  I have no children.  I have never been married but would love to.  Family means everything to me.  I hope and pray to have my own some day. 

I am a little shy when first meeting someone.  I talk very little because I am usually trying to feel my way through.  But once I get to know a person I loosen up and the people I meet tend to find out that I am all heart and can be a lot of fun. 

I have wonderful nieces and nephews.  I am closer to my nieces at home in the DC area.  They find my lifestyle very interesting since my taste is not to far from theirs.  Especially when they can't wait to be an adult.  So shouting out to my family and friends and my wonderful nieces who never keeps me out of the loop of things, I love you very, very much.

I'm Wanda. I have three grown children and two small granddaughters. I spend most of my days with children. Mostly family kids, but I take care of a few others I've known for several years as well.

My husband and I dabble with gardening and are concerned with environmental issues. I love to read...almost anything, and if I watch tv I'm pretty much a drama show addict. Like the Food Network too, but don't often get the tv to indulge in that one.

Family of all kinds is very important to me. I visit family web sites and e-mail with family members on a regular basis.

We have three dogs that are in their senior years, and a Goldfish that will apparently live forever. We got it when my boys were in grade school and I'm still taking care of that thing :)

Hi Meredith!

I'm Melissa--and this website is so much fun! I just found it a couple days ago and I'm almost embarassed at how much time I've spent going through all the reviews! :-)

Not only am I very opinionated myself, but before buying anything I like to look at all the different reviews from people who've used the product to make sure I'm not jumping into something regretful--this site is SO helpful for that!! :-D

Thanks everyone for your feedback on soooo many different products!! I hope I will be a useful addition to the community!

I'm Brent, I have lived in Chattanooga, TN my whole life and am currently a Senior in highschool and planning to attend college either at Wake Forest or Sewanee. I love this website because it provides an outlet for me to express my opinions and even assist people with their questions. Writing reviews is also a great way for me to practice my writing and journalism skills.

I'm a new member just joined today in fact so I think this is a great idea for all of us to get to know each other better. So I'll begin...LOL

I was born & raised in Brooklyn, NY. My family then moved to KY where I soon met my husband. Soon after we were married he recieved a job promotion that moved us to Indiana & thats where we live now. We don't have any children as of yet, but we do have some of the furry kind. We have 2 cats named Shakespeare & Monet, 2 dogs named Julietta & Freckles, & a tank full of fish(too many to name...LOL). My husband is a manager of a high end jewelry store & I am a stay at home housewife...LOL.

Hi, I'm glad I stumbled upon viewpoints. It's a great way to voice your opinion on products. I've noticed that members have posted some wonderful photos of family. I have a grown daughter here in San Diego but no little ones.  I work for social services and I am a student at Ashford University on-line. I went back to school last year and I should graduate the end of next year 2010. I spend a lot of time studying, but I keep telling myself to make time to practice my jewelry making because it allows me to be creative. Once you know how to make jewelry it's hard to pay the prices for some items because you always tell yourself, "I can make that."

You name it, we are doing it. Great to be on board here. What a great website. By the way, I am a native Georgian, but I really love Northern VA.

Glad to meet you all!
