About Me: I would like to establish that several of my reviews have been transferred here from other sites. I would like to let EVERYONE know that, although when you copy check them, they will look as though they are still posted on Ciao, Epinions and AC, but I URGE you to OPEN THE LINKS, you will see that they are NOT LIVE ON THE SITES ANYMORE!! I am honest and fair and I am trying to do this properly, so please, when you check, check properly before you report me. Some of these reviews did not fo offline until June 20th, so if you'd like to look again, I'd appreciate it. I want no more than your trust. Thanks :-)

"Craftsman Snowblower - Yes, It Blows!"

We inherited this from my mother-in-law, who realized that the climate in Florida is not condusive to needing a snowblower once used in New Jersey!  We live in Colorado, and found it to be a very fortunate gift!Now that I have the geography lesson out of the way, allow me to focus on this wonderful machine!Being a Craftsman, it is accompanied with a lifetime guarantee which I never quite understood - does that mean MY lifetime, or the machines?  If it refers to the machine, ...

"Levothyroxine - URGENT MESSAGE"

It was one year ago this month that I was diagnosed as having "significant hypothyroidism" and was first introduced to this prescription, Levothyroxine.Levothyroxine is a generic brand of Synthroid, the more expensive and equivalent artificial thyroid stimulant and is commonly prescribed to patients, such as myself, in an attempt to combat this debilitating condition.  Let me tell you more...Standing at 5'10" tall a...

"Yamaha V-Star 100 Custom"

My husband was like a child at Christmas when we went shopping for a new car and rode home on our brand new Yamaha V-Star 1100 Custom!  I knew I should have kept him out of that dealership - they don't even sell cars!It was really a compromise since we had an old Chevy Blazer that was on deaths door - and still is ironically enough - and we were looking for something that would save us a bundle on gas.  Yes, he has a way of making me agree to anything!The Bike

"Intensly SCENT-sual"

I purchased this for my husband not because I thought he would like it, more so because I knew I would LOVE it. As I have stated in previous reviews elsewhere, my hubby is a Paco Rabanne and Patchouli kind of guy and I am the fragrance lover. After being married for over 15 years, I thought it was time to introduce him to some changes. He is hesitant but thankful and willing to please, luckily for me. I was introduced to this fragrance as I was ...

"Save Electricity - Buy a Yankee Candle!"

Sleigh Bells Ring.. Are you listening....  Okay, I know that it is summertime, but each time I light my Cranberry Chutney Yankee Candle the aroma sends me caroling to Christmastime!I was first introduced to Yankee Candles through a very generous friend who knew I adored scented candles and was not afraid to buy me the "best of the best" - as far as I am concerned - and I have never returned to a lesser brand. I have tried many of the miriad of scents available...

"Mineral Foundation - for the blind?"

Laura Geller... when I first heard this name all I could think of was, "why name a cosmetic company after a blind woman?"  Was that insensitive...  no, just pretty silly really, I was thinking of Helen Keller - no relation, not even a similarity in the name, just me being..... me!What Is This?This make up that I am pushing on you today, is a wonder mineral compact foundation!Tell me More.......

"Michael Jackson - Thriller"

Given the sudden death of Michael Jackson on June 25th 2009, I found it only fitting to write a review on this CD which was the best selling album of all time - and now will probably fly off the shelves once more as band-wagoners and old fans alike fight for the prize!Love him or hate him, we cannot deny that Michael Jackson was the consumate performer and was the initiator of many dance and music styles seens today.  As an 11 year old girl back in 1982, I was crazy about the "gloved one" and to th...

"Who Says Blondes Have More Fun?"

I chose to review this product as it is fresh in my mind - and fresh on my head!!I am not one to use hair products of any kind, strictly a Pantene and go kind of woman. However, feeling as though I needed a change, I decided to opt for something easy - hair color ! I was browsing in K-Mart on Monday last, when I felt that I should treat myself and strolled down the hair colorant isle. That is one scary place to be if you are a novice! Too many colors, too many brands, too many expensi...

"WWE Micro Aggression Playset"

"DirecTV - For clear climates only!"

It all began with a visit from my mother-in-law.  Shocked that we had lived in our new home for 3 months and had no cable or satellite service and disgusted at the poor quality of the reception crackling through the 15 year old television, she decided that her housewarming gift to us would be entertainment beyond our wildest dreams!  A new television set and 6 months of satellite television service "on her".Almost 4 year later, she is still paying for the service as she knows that, should she let us take over ...

The Reason Behind My PurchaseMy husband has been a painter for many years - and a great one at that (plug...), therefore it was imperative for us to have an invoicing/accounting software that would represent him professionally. Gone are the days of paper estimates and invoices that are handwritten! I had a version on Intuit Quickbooks Pro installed on my computer, and, although the basics were still useable, the tax info was very much outdated. Inevitably I had to upgrade this software. I wasn't l...
