We were living in a brand new Choice Home a few years back when the mortgage began to get out of control.  With all the fees I had to pay, including escrow and interest, I could hardly make the payments.  We decided to refinance, and the person we contacted to help us set us up with Wells Fargo.Wells Fargo helped us to get our mortgage back under control.  We had a lower interest...

My family received several of these Logitech M-UV55A USB Wheel Optical Mice for Christmas.  We had had trouble with ball mice in the past; the ball mechanism would cease to function, leaving the mouse unusable.  The Logitech M-UV55A USB Optical Mouse solved all our problems and met all our needs.  This basic mouse is not ergonomic, yet it still fits very nicely in my hand. It com...

I am overjoyed with my Maytag Performa Smoothtop Electric Range with the ceramic-glass cooktop.  I chose this range to replace a Frigidaire ceramic cooktop range which was malfunctioning.  This range has many features, such as delay bake, cook and hold, a lockable control panel, keep warm and automatic shut-off.  The ceramic cooktop cleans up quickly and easily with Weiman&#...

I purchased the HP Pavilion a600n for my son's computer.  This desktop PC has many of the features of my HP Pavilion 716n, and although it has a slower processor than my computer, I find that it runs programs nearly as quickly.  The HP Pavilion a600n has an AMD Athlon XP 2800+ 2.08 GHz processor with an advanced 333 MHz front side bus.  It comes with 512 MB of RAM installed, ...

We began to purchase Equate Acne Pads Maximum Strength when my tweenaged son began to break out on his face. I am also susceptible to acne, so having the Equate Acne Pads came in handy.  These pads contain a 2% solution of salicylic acid.  The little cotton pads inside are fairly rough to the touch.  They also caused my skin to burn very badly if I went over my face more than onc...

I asked my husband for this 2 1/2 quart crock pot some fifteen years ago.  The model is effectively identical to the ones sold today.  This Rival Stoneware Crock Pot has to be one of the most useful, reliable and long-lasting devices I have ever used.  The enameled stoneware makes for the best possible cooking surface.  There is little that sticks to it, and what does stick ...

We purchased two of these Billy-style bookshelves in black-brown from IKEA for use in my booksales business. The bookshelves require assembly, but are fairly easy to assemble.  They are made of chip-board which is covered with a real wood veneer.  The price was the absolute best I was able to find anywhere for similar shelves. My husband did have some trouble assembling one of the uni...

I had a GE Spacemaker Microwave, model number JVM1430, in my old home in Cedar Hill.  They gave me a black one to save themselves money.  I thought I had a pretty good deal, aside from having a microwave which wasn't the color I wanted.  However, the magnetron went bad after we had only been living in the house for a short time.  Fortunately, the house had a full ten yea...

The Brita water pitcher and filtration system is one of the more economical water filtration products on the market.  If you purchase the filters in a multi-pack they are very cheap, around $5 per filter.  I have the manual filter.  These used to come with small stick-on calendars to help you remember when to change the filters.  Since then they have stopped including these ...

The Hewlett Packard Pavilion 716n is an excellent desktop computer.  With a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz processor with hyperthreading technology, and an 800 MB front side bus, this computer can still compete with others which were manufactured later.  The unit comes with 512 MB of memory, which is adequate but leaves me running slow at times.  It is upgradeable to 2 GB, so there is ro...

Loreal Visible Lift Line Minimizing Makeup with SPF 17 sunscreen and Pro-Retinol A is currently the only foundation I use.  I rarely wear makeup any more, but when I do wear it, I find this is a good makeup to wear.  I have a problem with dead skin buildup on my face, and makeup seems to make this buildup look rougher and more visible.  While I do experience this effect with Lore...

I purchased a new energy-star Whirlpool dishwasher a little more than two years ago to replace the one which came with my house, which was a foreclosure.  The Whirlpool dishwasher has many features my old one didn't have, such as Glass Xpress, rinse only, soak & scour, hi-temp wash, and sani-rinse.  I purchased this dishwasher at Best Buy and was lucky enough to arrive when th...

I purchased my Aquasana AQ-4100 shower filter from Sun Water Systems.  The shower filter offers drinking quality water filtration of your shower water, filtering out chlorine, lead and other impurities which are unhealthful.  I signed up to have my replacement filters charged to my credit card on a monthly basis to avoid being hit with a big bill every six months.  Each filt...

I used to be a Blistex gal, but when I saw how cheap Carmex Lip Moisturizer with Sun Screen was, I had to try it.  This product is very creamy and rich, and has a pleasant cherry scent.  It contains ingredients such as SPF 15 sunscreen, lanolin, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, phenol, menthol, camphor and salicylic acid. I apply this product several times a day to keep my lips moist and pro...

My old computer inkjet printer, an HP OfficeJet All-in-One model 710, was on its last legs.  Worse, it was an ink hog.  It nearly cost as much to replace its two ink cartridges as it would cost to buy a new printer.  I went to Best Buy to see if I could buy a new HP laser printer. The salesman suggested I buy an HP OfficeJet Pro model K5400 inkjet printer instead. He said it was ...
