I was looking for a new tire for my 2006 Chevy Cobalt, and didn't want to spend alot but wanted some quality out of a tire. I purchased a set of 4 Fusion VRi 205/55/16 tires from Tirerack.com for my car. The first thing I liked about the tire was the price. The price was $68 a tire, and its hard to find a tire at that price these days. The Fusion is listed as a High Performance All Season Tire. As I live where there is alot of snow, I put these on my car and took it for a ride. The first thing I noticed is that...
My son is almost two years old but he loves Thomas to death. He knows the names of most of the popular trains, moreso than I do! We were excited when we found out that "Day Out With Thomas" was coming to the Conway Scenic Railroad in North Conway, New Hampshire. We purchased out tickets online, and they had multiple dates. We went this past Saturday. We got to the site nice and early and Thomas was parked right there for everyone to look at. Our boarding pass was for 10:45am, and we were there at around 9:30am.
I went looking for a desk for my basement, where my computer is set up. I went to Staples and found a desk that I liked. The Z-Line Gemini L-Desk is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a desk that would fit in the corner, as well as a desk with alot of open space. Unlike alot of conventional computer desks this one was the one for me. And at the price of $89.99, it was a steal. What I like about it, is the open space, reminds me of a studio apartment. I have multiple computers and monitors and this one just works great. There is a upper...
I had a smoke detector go bad on me, it was your basic smoke only detector, cheap but did its job. When I went to Ace Hardware, I was surprised how far detectors had come. I picked up the First Alert Smoke & Fire detector for 21.99 and headed to the register.The reason I bought this detector is that it has some features, I thought were new and safety can never be compromised. The first thing I noticed about this detector is that it has a light on it. When the alarm activates the light comes on. The light illuminate...
I have had Vonage for many years. But I was ready for a change and wanted to take advantage of eliminating one bill. So I decided I would take the plunge and get the special from my local cable company. I decided to get Comcast Digital Voice.The installer showed up to my house on time, and pulled out the Comcast Didigtal Voice modem. My first impression was that this RCA modem is HUGE. Now that I have had it for a few days it doesn't appear to be all that bad. Anyway, the installation went without a hitch.
After getting my Wii, I learned that there were a bunch of shooter games out there. Toy Story Mania, hunting games etc were all something I had a interest in. So I decided I'd go looking for a gun adapter.To my surprise my local Family Dollar started to carry these. I looked at it and at the price of $5 I couldn't go wrong regardless of how it went.The first thing you will notice is that there is no trigger in this version of the gun. You slide your controller into the gun and away you go. It can be awkward be...
"House of the mouse More like House of the Kitty!!!"
We just got a new cat a few months ago. She loves to play sometimes way beyond what we want her to. I went out looking for some toys for her for her stocking and for Xmas presents. What I came home with wasn't what I expected to return with.I found this house at my local Tractor Supply Center. It is called the Cat Play Center and is built by Sport Pet Designs. The cost of this house was $19.99.The house is made our of sturdy pipe, and has vertical and horizontal peek-a-boo tunnels. It als has jumping platforms and...

"Silver Biotics...old school support..."
I have had a ear infection for over a year now. My ear just doesn't want to pop. Recently my ear became so bad that it felt like I had water in it and there was alot of pressure in my ear. I went to my doctor and he prescribed me anti-biotics. After finishing that round, I still had a ear infection which felt even worse. Another trip to the docs and another co-pay and I came out with another anti-biotic (amoxicilin), and Allegra-D. After this dose, no luck once again.I started to look online and found a product called Silver ...
I went looking for a helmet for my ATV. I own a Honda TRX-300EX. My old helmet had seen better days, and I needed something new. So I started to reseach online, and found a model I liked at the Cabella's online store.The first thing I noticed was the cost of $69.99. It doesn't break the bank which is usually the number one thing I look for, without having to sacrifice safety. This is a full face model, so you don't have to worry about bugs, dirt, dust or anything bothering you completely. I prefer full face models, ev...
I had to borrow a friends car recently and he has a radar dectector inside. I haven't used a radar detector in ages but this one really impressed me. The brand was Cobra and the model number was XRS-R7.I loved the style it was small as most radar detectors are these days. It was mounted on the dash but also allows you to mount it behind the rear view mirror. It is a 6 band radar detector. This radar dectector gave off very few falso alarms and I think it was due to the built in auto mute. It also had a strobe that would ...

"7 Wonder of Life"
If your like myself and you have some spare time to mess around with computer games, then 7 Wonders of the Ancient World is just for you! I loved Tetris when it first came out, and this game is on the same basis but different in its own unique way. You must match up 3 or more of the same kind of blocks to get them to clear. While doing this a brick comes down and you need to get this brick to the bottom of the pyramid to the waiting builders below. Some of the options include some special blocks, such as random pops, clearing of vertical and...
When looking for a treadmill, I went looking at the local Walmart. I found a treadmill that wouldn't break the bank but would have a wife range of features. The Image 15.0 R looked like the treadmill for me. What I first noticed and liked was the fact that it cost under $500 before taxes. The next thing was that the treadmill could fold upright and not take up alot of space in my basement when it wasn't being used.Built into the control center is a speed with three different speed ranges to keep you cool while, you run or...

"Remove those car scratches"
My wifes car tends to get some "mysterious" scratches once in awhile. On a black car likes hers it sticks out like a soar thumb. You know those trips to Target or Walmart, end up giving you more than you want! Grocery carts, doors from other cars, or just general scratching that happens when you rub against your car.I didn't want to spend 50-100 to pay someone to buff out the scratches even though it may take them like 5 minutes and it would look professional. I grabbed some NuFinish Scract Doctor from my loca...

"Safety 1st Baby's Digital Reminder"
This is my review of the Safety 1st Bab'y Digital Reminder. What this item does is track baby's feedings and medicine dispensing. The reminder is tiny first off, so it doesn't get in the way and can be put virtually anywhere. It has three versatile attachments, clip-on so you can carry it, self standing so you can put it on a desk, and magnetic if you want to attach it to something. The reminder beeps when its time for the next feeding or dose. When it gets hectic and you your like me and can't remember what you did 5 mi...
The latest craze seems to be Satellite radios. I went looking for a Sirius radio for my wife, that wasn't to bulky and was easy to run. I settled on the Sirius One radio and car kit. The Sirius One, is small, about the size of a radar detector. This is good that it doesn't get in the way, but it also suffers from a small digital screen. You can change the font size, but then its huge, and I'm not that blind!!The car kit comes with both the antennae and the in car power adapter. It also comes with the mounting and viso...
My wife hit a pot-hole and bent my 16" wheel on my 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt LT sedan. I went to my local dealership and they wanted $391 for the wheel! Thats right $391 for a Alluminum wheel....absolutely insane!So I looked online and found that you could get them off Ebay for about $75-$150 but who knows what you get when you order from ebay! The online GM parts store had them for $290..which was $100 less than what the local dealership wanted. It is only a Cobalt but when you need to get a new wheel you do what you have ...
We went looking for a potty chair for our son. We wanted something simple and not to distracting. Alot of the potty chairs out there have all the bells and whistles and this can distract the kid from doing his duty.We happened upong the Fisher-Price Royal Potty step stool. The best thing about this potty is that is had multi functions. First you have the potty, you can also put the top down and it turns into a step stool which supports up to 100 lbs. This is great, the kids can use it to step on so t...
I live in Vermont and most people live by their snow tires. I never had snow tires always going with All Seasons. My current AS tires were getting low on tread and I would spin just getting out of the driveway.With my new job being in the mountains and very low plow coverage I decided to dip in and get me a set of snow tires. The price ranges are very high to high. I took a look at the General Altimax Artic Tire from Tirerack. The price was about $99 a tire with shipping. My tires are 205/55/16s. The reviews looked go...
Many of the local stores have digital photo frames. I saw an ad in my local Family Dollar paper for a Digital Photo Frame for $10. I drove down and took a look.The first thing you must realize is that this thing is SMALL. I didn't expect it to be so small but I bought it anyway, for $10 you can't go wrong right? The box claims that you can save up to 100 pictures on it, and your mileage may vary depending on the size of your pictures.It comes with a small USB cable that you connect to the frame and then to you...

"Crest Whitestrips "
Crest is trying to snag a part of the market that seems to have boomed recently. The Crest whitestrips claim to have visible whitening in 14 days. They also claim that they are clinically proven to remove up to 14 years of stain build up in just 14 days. Thats one HUGE claim that I find falls quite short. I mean 14 years of stains, thats alot of stained teeth in there. All you do is peel the strip then apply and then they say it will whiten and stay whitened for 12 months. And that you only have to use these twice a day for 30 mi...
