All you comcast users be careful of this one. I have had a lot of problems with my DVR and I am not happy being that I count on that machine! I have had to call Comcast numerous times because it is not recording, says it is full and can't record anymore (even though there isn't anything on it). Comcast has replaced it twice and I am now waiting on the thrid one (they are out of them in ...

I have to be the first to admit that I don't know anything about speaker wire. I always thought wire is wire is wire until I bought my new surrond sound system. I had just bought a new 50" TV and I bought the surround sound system to go with it. My daughters boyfriend offered to come hook everything up for me, since he had worked in home theater during college. Of course I had no probl...

My mom saw this machine on tv and really wanted it. Well she didn't buy it when she saw it and the show didn't come on the next week..so she sent her daughter searching on the internet for it. I found it in a couple of places and bought it for her on ebay ($150.00).I wasn't sure she was going to be really happy with this, it is suppose to be a very good exercise machine for your hip...

I am not a fan of yard work but I know that it has to get done. I bought my riding (bug) lawnmower which makes it a lot more fun to mow but now I needed something to get rid of the weeds by my garden and around my trees. I happen to be watching TV and yes I did it again I put on the paid programming channel. Thats were I found this Worx-GT. I have a weed wacker but it is electric and I will adm...

I am recently divorced and had never even looked at a tax form, so you can imagine how scared I was when I had to file my own taxes for the first time. I looked on line and decided to try Turbo Tax. I know you will find this hard to believe about filing taxes but they actually made it an enjoyable experience. The program walks you through each step and explains it in English. At the end it goes...

Ok if you read my review on the lawnmower that my mom & dad bought me you realized I wasn't very happy with it. As much as it was supposed to be self propelled you couldn't tell by me. So I have been on the search for sometime for a new one! Of course being the Lady that I am and not much into mowing I was looking for a riding lawnmower, even though I know my lawn didn't require...

When I first moved into my house I decided to go with AT&T DSL. It was cheaper than cable and I figured for as much downloading as I do it would do. I was right. I had no problems with this modem, downloaded music with ease and connected to any site I wanted pretty fast.I then got an offer from Comcast and switched over to cable. Well long stroy short that was a mistake. Their cable interne...

About 6 years ago I lived in an apartment for about 2 years and right after I moved in, I knew I needed a car starter. I live in Michigan and if anyone is familiar with our winters, it can get pretty cold. Well it only took about 2 mornings of digging my car out of the snow, starting it and waiting for it to warm up for me to head to the local automotive store and check out car starters.A frien...

I have been wanting some kind of storage box for my deck. I have a lot of nick nacks and candles that I love to put out on the patio but don't want to leave them out there all night. So every night I have to collect all my little treasures and store them in the garage. Not anymore, my mom & dad just bought me this Pack & Go Deck Box and I love it. It not only stores all my little tr...

Ok, this was one of those purchase that you swear you must have been drunk when you bought this because no matter how hard you try you can't figure out why you did it. I did this with these phones. I was shopping at Somerset Mall in Troy and happen to wander into the Bang & Olufsen store. i had never even heard of this store but saw that it was all electronics..well that was enough for ...

My computer crashed and bunred at work so they got me a new computer. I had a gateway and this time they bought me a dell! I wasn't sure if I would like it (I am not a fan of dell products!) but I have to admit the computer is pretty sweet and I haven't had any problems with it yet..but the speakers are a different story.Please whatever you do spend a little extra and get better speaker...

I love taking movies but hate carrying around a big old camcorder - so I bought this Sony handycam..is it handy? Definately. I can slip this in my purse (well have to have a bigger purse but what woman doesn't) and tote it around without worrying about loosing it or leaving it behind. I am not a professional so for me it takes great movies, has a lot of features and is really easy for me to...

OK all you sunless tanners I think I have finally found a product that will give you a nice glow without the orange effect. I have tried a few sunless tanning lotions and always found that they either looked really fake, orange or didn't even work. Jergens has the right idea. It's not a deep dark tan but it definetely puts a glow on your skin. What I love best is it really doesn't t...

I have always wanted a roll top desk. I always thought they were so beautiful and functional. When I was married my husband thought they were a waste of money and wouldn't even consider buying one.Well when I got divorced guess what was the first thing I treated myself too! Yep went out and bought myself my roll top desk. It has been everything that I thought it was. It is a beautiful piece...

There is nothing more relaxing after a stressful day at work then to sit on my deck are relax.I have a beautiful little lake bedhind me and I enjoy just sitting with a glass on wine and watching the water. Last year I did find that I missed the sound of the water. My...

Everybody knows I am a big fan of the Ikea Store and love to go shopping there. On my last trip I was looking for a floor lamp for my den, something that would give me some soft lighting by the computer and also be stylish. Somehow Ikea just knows This floor lamp is perfect for any den, bedroom or even living room. It is so stylish and gives off a soft light, but it is bright enough that I can ...

Ok it is something that we want but don't want to admit they we are getting old enough to really start being serious about retiring. I have to admit I never worried about any finances until I got divorced. I suddenly realized that it is now my responsiblity to make sure that I am ok.I didn't even no where to begin but kept seeing a commercial for the retirement red zone. Granted I am no...

I was in the mood to change my den around so after reading (again!) great reviews on SR I found the corner desk that would be perfect in the small den that I have. I went to Ikea and bought it. Now I needed a new chair because the desk was black and the only chair I had was oak, not going to work!I did see a really cool cloth chair at Ikea for $79 but my daughter said, why don't you wait an...

Even though I  find this printer a little pricy..I love it and feel its worth it. This is my third printer and by far the best one I have bought. Picture quality is beyond what I could have hoped for. I print a lot of pictures and I find this printer to be the best in quality and speed. I also found that the print cartridges do last a long time which is a nice feature considering the cost ...

Tired of carrying around all those keys, I was. So I invested in keyless door knobs. It is the best investment I have made. I found these on the interent and bought one for each of my doors. I don't have to worry about forgeting my keys, now I just have to remember the combination, but thats pretty easy. I love this, it is safe and very easy to use. The best feature, it allows me to create ...
