My name is Deena. I'm 24, and was born and raised in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I couldn't imagine living anywhere but the city. I am currently a psychology student and hope to earn my bachelor's degree in 2011. I'm contemplating adding on Practical Ethics as a minor since many of the courses I've taken or plan on taking go towards it. Finances have been tight, as I've been unemployed since March. I am hoping to start working part-time soon.

Hello!  I'm a mom-again at age 44.  My first boys are now 25 and 18, and then my daughter is 2 and my youngest son is 9 months.  I'm loving having little guys again, but it sure makes me much more tired than the first round did!  ;)

My favorite things are my family, good friends, all books, Siamese cats, good music and cooking...I'd love to get back to California, but it doesn't look like that will happen any time soon.  Until then, I'll try to love southern New Mexico!

Hello Everyone, I enjoy watching movies, trying new restaurants, an evening at the casino, floating on the lazy river, camping, and golf,  I love freebies, trying new products, The internet is my favorite past time.  I am the mother of 2 wonderful boys 17 and 21.  I am a mail carrier and to make some extra money I enjoy taking surveys online. This looks like a great site.

Hello, my name is Jennifer. I am still relatively new to Viewpoints but have loved my new favorite website for reviews on everything. I am currently a student with the University of Phoenix online program. I will be receiving a G-HRM certificate from them very soon (only 3 weeks left in my last class). I will then be studying for the PHR certification through the SHRM/HCRI program. It is all very boring so I will go on to a much more enjoyable subject...my kids! I have a wonderful step-son, who is 10, and a precious daughter, who is 17 months old. When they are in bed at night I finish homework and sneak up to the computer to catch up on my Viewpoints reviews and other online fun stuff. I am terribly addicted to the "free samples" that I find online and have enjoyed the blogs on freebies posted in the discussion forum here at Viewpoints. I will also plug a great blog called freebies4Mom.blogspot.com  -this is a fun site to visit as well. Enjoy! Jen

Hello, my name is Jennifer.  I live in Alabama.  I have 3 great kids and love view point.  I need to get involved more but my kids keep me very busy.

Hi Meredith

i'm fflores and i'm from chicago and i love my BEARS, AND WHITESOX

Hello Everyone. I'm Kim. I was born and raised in Texas and have never lived anywhere else but I spent several summers as a kid in Caddo, OK. Never heard of it? Exactly... this country girl is happily married to her cajun city boy and I'm goin Cajun City next year... it's gonna be a wild ride. Since I lost my momma its time to get my husband closer to his so we can give her all the hugs and loves and support she could ever want cuz the one thing I've realized in the last 3 weeks is there are 60 year old folks who still have both parents living and I'm not even 30 and I dont have either one. It's hard. The one thing I take away from it all is that my parents will meet me at those golden gates one day with everyone I love and miss that has left this world for the next. If you have family you havent seen or spoken to in a while or someone you see everyday I urge you to call them, hug them, tell them how much you love them because one day they'll be gone and you'll miss all those days when you wish you could call them,hug them and tell them you love them or even just spend a day with them. We are guaranteed one thing in life and that's our family. Cherish them for when they are gone you will miss them. Sorry for my rambling... its become my thing in the last month.

 I've been a member of viewpoints for almost a year and just now getting around to actually lookin around and viewing the site. I'm 29 yrs old and . I had surgery in august so now i'm pretty much home bound with my laptop for company while my husband is working all the time.

Now I'm gonna start this part by saying most things I know or try I teach myself. From baking and decorating and cooking to fixing cars and airbrushing and just for kicks right now since I am home bound I spent 2.00 on a college algebra book ( alibris online is an  EXCELLENT site for used books at reasonable prices) and I'm teaching myself college introductory and intermediate algebra.

I love my truck. I like cars in general and working on them.With a recession in our country right now your best investment is a set of mechanics tools (30 bux at most at walmart, we arent talkin bout those 300 dollar sets... but i'd love to have one) and the repair manual for your model of car(15-20 dollars at any auto parts store or online). It cost at least $100.00 to have someone put a set of disc brakes on your car and you can do it in about 2 hours and with about 25-30 dollars. If you arent mechanically inclined find yourself a local mechanic you can trust and stay with them. jSupport your local community!!!!! But heed on the side of cautions... look for mechanics that are certified and have been in the area several years. Ask around for referrals.  Dealerships and big chain mechanic shops will charge you an arm and a leg for something that costs them 50 cents.

 I love to bake cakes and decorate them.I like to cook. I like to make things I have never eatin and invent recipes I've never seen. My husband is my guinea pig. LOL He'll eat anything... except flan. I take recipes I wouldnt usually eat and take out the things I know I dont like and add things I think will go in place of those things. I havent too terribly messed it up yet. LOL

 My husband and I live in Temple Tx right now but anxiously await our move to his hometown of New Orleans, LA in April 2010. We love to travel and we LOVE road trips. we have 12 nephews and 4 neices but no kids of our own yet. We value are family. The kids are the most important thing in the world to us. Until we were already married very few people knew we were getting married. We look forward to hopefully having children one day to add to our expansive family.

So for now you can catch me online pretty much all the time since my husband wont let me work on the truck while I'm wheelchair bound and in a cast for a few months. But my 15 month old neice, the Beautiful Chloe comes to keep me company and occupied about 4 days out of the week. They grow up sooooooooo fast. I will sign off for now and I hope to talk to you all very soon.

Hello everyone! I'm just joining the community. I'm Sherry, from Central New Jersey. I was born here in New Jersey, moved to Tokyo, Japan and Salt Lake City, Utah with my "practice" husband before returning to N.J. and marrying my "for-real" honey. We've been married for 16 years, no children, but two cats that are my furry babies.

In addition to my family, I love travel, writing, and reading. After twenty years in the corporate world as a computer programmer, I'm becoming an addiction counselor.

Most of all, I love Jesus and my church family. God is good!

Hi. My name is Stacy and i reside in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. My Husband and I like to travel around the Country on our Harley Davidson Road King. Our goal is to reach every state. I love to relax with a good book after a long day of work. I work in the Service Industry which is very stressfull. 

Hi Stacy! Welcome! I hope you enjoy the site as much as most of us do. I'll be watching for more reviews from you. :)

Hi All! I'm Nicole. I am a social butterfly from downstate Illinois. I love to meet and chat with new people. I have 5 children, 7 nieces, and one nephew. I have been forced to learn a LOT about children's tastes. I also have an other half to whom I have been married for 12 years.

I like to sew, cook, travel (although I don't get to do enough of it), and read. I love music. I play the flute and once upon a time also the french horn. I help teach AWANAs at church. This year I venture into the land of the Cubbies. They are adorable...Lets see if I still think that in a few weeks.

As for work, currently I am at home taking care of the squirts..Contemplating home schooling one of them. Other than that, I am a CNA/CCMA who has contemplated going back to nursing school. I have had the CNA for 6 years, and the CCMA for one. I love to help take care of people.

Don't know what else to write but if you have any questions feel free to ask them. 

Hey Meredith, I'm Erica  from Michigan and I am the happy mother of two ( ages 5 and 6).  I am also a working mom so time is always precious.  I love to give my opinion and I enjoy hearing what others have to say.  Since my budget does not have much wiggle room, I listen to what others have to say about products and services before I buy them.  I don't want to waste any money.

My main concern is my family.  I am interested in cooking healthy meals when I have time.  I am also interested in healthy shortcuts for when I don't have time - which is the case more often than not.

Hi, my name is Juanita(code name JShaw2384). I'm a busy homemaker of two trying to make a supplement income in home. I've tried some of everything and will continue to do so until I make a dollar. I strive to give my kids all that they need and sometimes even what they want. I'm a reformed shop-a-holic. Those are just a few things about me and I will continue to unfold each day.

Hello! I'm Maera from Johnson Creek, Wi.

I just reached the age of 30 and am freaking out about it, the grey hair started YEARS ago though.

I love crafts, mostly sewing, cross stitch, crochet, paper making, paper sculpting and beading. 

I live with my cat, Austin and 2 room mates and will move come spring to live in the basment of my best friends home. I also reada LOT. Diana Gabaldon is my hero! I try to write but mostly have unfinished peices in folders. I work part time as a... telemarketer. (*Waiting for the rotten fruit to stop flying*) It's a job that pays my bills but I keep looking for another one.

That's about all I can think of on the spot since my cat is dying if I don't cuddle him right this moment.

Hi, I'm Carrie. Born and raised in Hot Florida. I am married and have 2 boys (9 years and 10 months). I am not working now and am pursuing a PharmD. I love shopping and eating. lol

I also love rompers, Chilis, family get-togethers, Food Network, House, Lost, Big Brother (although this season was to drama filled), Fruit Loops, Japanese Steakhouses, Mexican and Italian foods, Disney World, Mommy time (in its rarity), and spending time with my hubby whom has been in Kuwait for 7 months now.

Hi all, my name is Cassie.   Just from a small town in PA.  Love to garden, cook, Looking for work from home jobs that are not scams.  Taking care of my 5yr. old grandson til his Mom comes home on Dec. 20.

Hello all. I am Darlene, I've been on VP for a little over a year. Got busy and didn't visit for a while, so I do not believe I ever introduced myself. OOPS! I work part-time outside the home, and working on my business at home. Both give me pleasure as I enjoy talking with people.

Before all of this in the beginning, I was a stay at home Mom. I always wanted to be there for my kids. When I did in the beginning my friends and others seem to look down upon me. Like don't you get bored, "Your just a SAHM" well after time they admired the fact I did. I kept up with current events. I knew more what was going on in the world then they did. I guess my brain was suppose to turn to MUSH! I wouldn't give up the opportunity to do it again. Sure we sacrificed items, but that was our choice.

I love to cook, bake, craft, willing to learn anything new. One day I will take pottery classes that is something that has always interested me. So I guess I shall. Soon as I get the time. I love to crochet and make afghans, although time consuming. Still have the one I made almost 30 years ago, and it still looks good even after plenty of washings. I once for a class in school had to make a stuffed animal, I gave it to my boyfriend, now my hubby. He asked where I bought it, told him I made it. He said no really where did you buy it? Over the years he has learned how crafty I can be.

I've been married 27 years as of this past August 14th. We have a son 26 and a daughter 22. Hard to believe. Time really does fly fast I think once you hit 21, you look forward to that day, and next thing you know it your 29....lol....I mean somewhere in the 40's.

That's enough boredom for now. I am glad I came to VP's. I've met, well actually got to know some people and express my opinions. Great idea!

Hi, I am Durinda (De) from Durand, MI. I was born in Jackson Mi, lived there until I got married then moved to the area surrounding Flint Mi.  I have been happily married for 40 years (in October) to a real nice guy. He is my best half! We have two kids, a son 24 and a daughter 19. I also have a beautiful granddaughter who is 18 months old. I never knew having a grandchild was so fullfilling! We live in the country and have 2 dogs & 2 inside cats. At last count there are 4 permanent outside cats,(all who have been dropped off......there is a neon sign flashing SUCKER LIVES HERE!) and numerous cats who come for the food. There is a dairy farm across the road so people just naturally think they always need cats around....unfortunately they find themselves on this side of the road!  I love reading and going off road trail riding in our Jeep. Like to go to the casinos too. Never win big but manage to play all night on a few bucks swapped between my hubby & I.Good fun for us old folks! I love getting freebies & couponing. Not too many freebies anymore, sign of the times? I was chosen to have a Houseparty for Clairols hair coloring. It was a HUGE success!!Loads of fun. Well Guess thats about all foe me now. I am glad to be a part of this site!

Hello everyone! I am a Minnesotan of 28 years and I think everyone else has an accent ;-) I went to college to study Recreation, Parks, and Leisure Services but I didn't find a job in the field when I graduated - so I have to recreate on my own time. 

I'm been married for 5 years and enjoy using coupons to help save money for our down payment someday... Neither my husband nor I like pets - money can be spent in other/better ways (like on the children we may someday have). Traveling is rarely in our budget these days, but we have a ton of places that we would like to experience soon!
