I don't know if anyone else has ever tried the financing company called Drivetime. They are a company that allows buyers with bad credit, no credit, and banruptcies to buy a car (like second chance financing). They have cars from about 2001 and newer on their lots and  most of the lots are located in Southern California and Nevada. Most of the sales people are very nice, however w...

Have you ever heard of Jupiter Jack? If you have, you may have seen it on an infomercial late at night. I did and I was interested in it but I don't like to order things from TV so I let it go. During one of my holiday shopping trips, I found the Jupiter Jack at Walgreens. They had a video going ont he display which also caught my eye so I decided to buy it since it was relativly cheap.What...

My husband and I have Allstate Insurance. As an Allstate member they provide us with roadside assistance. Last Weds at about 4:30am we had to call them because we couldn't get our car to start. All it would do is click as the key would turn in the ignition.We immediatly got on the phone to our roadside assitance, Pop - A - Lock. Within the hour they sent someone out who was very nice a...

I first saw these on TV and usually when I see something that I want on TV I usually say "Oooo, I want that" and then forget about it but The Original Always Fresh Containers kept comming on TV and as infomercials are usually meant for, they became very appealing. The problem was that I don't like to order anything on TV so while at Walgreens a couple of weeks ago I saw these on t...

After speaking with my husband about this, he reccomended we try to put some fuel injector in the gas tank. His hopes of doing this would mean the car would run better.So, we went to the store and bought Fuel Injector and Carburetor Cleaner made b...

I told him that all I really wanted was new kitchenware... we were short on money so this is all I really wanted...My husb...

I have had bad credit for a while. I spent a long period of time trying to get approved for a credit card. The only offers I would get were the ones that wanted to charge me a high interset rate or wanted me to pay them for approving me and then charging the card for a high "annual fee" leaving me $50 dollars on the card. I finally said forget it. About 6 months ago I started seeing t...

Because of all the rain that we get here in Oregon, I seem to grow weeds like crazy. Everytime I turn around there is a new weed in my front or backyard. It absolutly drives me nuts!For a while I have looked into different types of weed killers. After what I thought was careful consideration, I decided to buy Eliminator Weed & Killer.

I have been with American Family for the last 4 years and at the beginning I really liked them. I had not had a single problem with them and would have reccommended them to anyone I knew. My husband and I moved to Portland, OR last June and changed our insurance brokers from Las Vegas (where we lived) to Portland. From the moment we did that we have had several problems. I am not sure whether i...

When I recently caught a cold I thought I would never stop coughing. I decided that I would go to Walmart to see if they had any sort of cough drops. I had heard about brand names that were supposed to help moisten your throat and suppress the coughing and had actually gone about buying a different brand then the one I am reviewing today. After spending about 10 minutes in the cold and flu isle...

  I don't have kids of my own but my husband I have a two year old niece and a five year old nephew. Because of this, we always make sure we have the digital camera when we see them. We see them about two or three times a week so you can imagine that I take a lot of pictures. I learned a long time ago that when I download my pictures onto my laptop or my desktop computer it usually eat...

  I hate having cable. When my husband and I first moved to Oregon, we got in touch with our local cable company. Within the first six to eight months we had many problems so we started to look at getting a dish. While speaking to the same company that carries my phone service, Qwest, they informed me that they contract with Direct TV. From there on out, we were hooked. Within a couple of ...

This year my husband and I decided to do our 2008 taxes through Turbo Tax. We used another service like this last year that was free but I couldn't remember who. After some research, TV ads and internet ads, we decided to try Turbo Tax.They say this is an easy and FREE service so we made that decision to try it. The service is very easy to use and it will walk you through everything includi...

My sister keeps it in her house for her daycare but even her young children love to play with it.On the top of the playset there is a microwave that has buttons to push. The botton portion has a sink on one side and a playstove on the other. With the set came things for the...

My husband and I use a lot of small white envelopes for business. We have tried several different brands of envelopes but found that most of the others are not as sturdy. After some mroe shopping we found that  Pacific Internatonal does the job for us. They are very sturdy and the glue on the envelope holds when moistened. For one box of envelopes we get 100 of No. 6 3/4 white envelopes fo...

I absolutly love my job. How many times a day do you hear this? In my lifetime, not very many. You're probably asking me why I love my job so much. Well let me tell you why. Of course I love the people I work and I love what I do do but the best part is because my company is very family oriented and they actually care what happens to you when there is bad weather. Portland is going through ...

Christmas is my favorite time of year. Not just for the presents, or the gingerbread, or fudge, or even the decorations but because I know I can get all the candy canes I want to eat. I love candy canes. They taste so yummy and kind of settle my tummy when I am hungry and I don't have anything else to eat. I can remember my mom and dad would buy boxes of them and we would be able to eat one...
