"Good Entry Level Turntable Numark TT1625"

The Numark TT1625 is perfect for beginner DJ's.  It's a direct drive, running on a motor instead of a belt.  It's equipped with its own Numark needle and cartridge.  It's a fairly good quality turntable if you are just getting into the DJ scene and you don't wish to spend a lot of money on your equipment.The system is pretty durable and has lasted through some liquid spills and still operates great. Some of the drawbacks to this table however are that it doesn't have a pitch lock which means...

"NeoCitran Cold and Flu"

I really don't like this medication AT ALL!!  My chemical makeup is wacky enough and to be honest, this medication takes me on a trip you wouldn't believe!  I hear voices, people talking that aren't there, singing, music - all not there!  I go in and out of sleep continuously...the list goes on. With this medication I think I come as close to knowing and understanding what someone with Schizophrenia must really go through and it's a terrible feeling.  Thus, I am obviously allergic to one or more of the ing...

"Can Dida Do Dat? Dida supplement great!"

Ok, a little known fact about moi!  There is a grocery store in my area that bakes some of the most tantalizing 'just like Grandma's' Cinnamon Buns and they're slathered with heavenly Cream Cheese Frosting...one box of these delectably heaven sent treats can pack on the poundage if one isn't careful but what's worse for me is that one sliver of even one corner of one of these massive buns will leave me feeling as though I need to stick a pin in my stomach to deflate myself.  Even though I die and go to Heave...

This is a handy dandy Code reader/diagnostic tool  for vehicles 1996 and newer that are CAN (Controller Area Network) compliant and OBD2 compliant.  We own 2004's - a Nissan Altima and a GMC Sierra and this particular scan tool works for both vehicles.When the "check engine soon" light came on in the truck a few weeks ago, it did so when I just happened to be driving it.  This little event gave my husband an opportunity to tease me - "mom, it was working just fine when I parked it - and now, here...

"Perfect 10 Haircolor - so so"

I tried the L'Oreal Perfect 10 hair color system a few months ago.  I liked the fact that you could simply 'comb' it on or apply it the conventional way, which is to squeeze it on through a small pointed application cap.I had hoped that L'Oreal would fall away from those squeeze tubes however.  In order to put the color into the activator lotion, you have to open the small tube and squeeze the contents into the opening of the applicator bottle that is supplied.  I may be alone on this one, but I hat...

When I finally decided to take the plunge and install Windows 7 I was provided with some options for Anti-virus programs that were indicated to be compatible for the new operating system and GData was my preference.  My husband also installed Windows 7 and against my recommendations, he decided to install a program that although recommended by Windows 7, was downloaded from a software site that had an older version.  Well, may I just interject here "nanna naana naaana!"  Sorry, but that couldn't be helped.  ...

"Frigidaire Ceramic Top Stove"

I've been cooking since I was about 16 and over the years I've cleaned my fair share of dirty ovens.  It's a nasty job and someone has to do it, but why should it be me?  That's why when we went shopping for a new stove 2 years ago, I decided that regardless of cost, I was going to banish the need to get down and dirty with smelly oven cleaners and rubber gloves.  I have always had an affinity for anything black and when I saw the Frigidaire black, ceramic cook top self cleaning oven sitting oh so prettily in t...

"'Start the car!' Flooring that was a steal"

*Photos of completed floors to be added shortly - camera is out on the town at the moment :)* There are two occasions in our home when my family begins to get nervous.  One is when we are preparing to go away on vacation and the other is when we are preparing to have out of town guests.  Both however involve very similar actions, namely thorough cleaning and in the case of the latter, possibly a good amount of re-doing including some remodelling.  I've been known to run around for days prior to such an event an...

"Rainbow Water Vaccum - great for some things"

I borrowed the Rainbow water filter vacuum system from my sister in law awhile ago and I actually really liked it.  The water filtering system was a bit gross at times as the vaccum sucked up gunk and junk from the carpets and spewed it into the water filled chamber of the machine and became murky and dirty, but it was obviously doing a decent job of cleaning the carpets.  The vacuum doesn't use a conventional filtering system.  Instead you fill the vacuum's water chamber with water and attach it to the machine.  ...

"Spectro-Derm - When you want your face to lie"

About a month ago was the last time I was  'carded' -- in order to purchase certain products here including cigarettes and liquor, a person must be 19 years of age.  In some places a large sign will indicate that the vendor will have the right to card those individuals who appear to be 25 or younger ;) This has happened a few times and I've laughed each episode off as the good humoring that it was.   However, when some guy behind a counter asks me for my ID, and does so with a totally straight and serious face and ...

"Guitar Capo - one handed simplicity"

I've been around musical instruments all my life having been raised in a family where impromptu "concerts" and get together's was the norm rather than the exception. The only thing we have more of in my family than entrepreneurs, are musicians and almost every Aunt, Uncle and cousin either plays one or more instruments and/or sings.   I grew up in a home where both my mother and father were musicians and singers and you'd often find guitars perched on their stands, tucked into the corner of almost every room in the...

We are quite supportive of the TD CanadaTrust group of services given that we have practically everything covered via their insurance, including Life and Accidental Death coverage - so it was a no brainer to also choose them to insure our home and contents.I really like the idea that obtaining Insurance through them is so easy.  We called a 1-866 number when we moved into our current home and after only about 10 minutes we were completely and fully covered with the policy going into effect immediately.At the time...

We've always been fortunate to have great coverage with an Insurance Company and not pay high premiums.  When our last broker retired, we decided to hunt for another provider and who better to deal with than a Company you've got your money with.  We decided to look at what TD CanadaTrust Insurance, an affiliate of  TD Canada Trust Banking,   had to offer us.  When we purchased the new car and then the new truck, we wanted to ensure that they were completely insured and after calling TD CanadaTrust...
