Touch Tone films release a 134 minute movie called The Count of Monte Cristo. This film was released in 2002 and was rated PG 13 because of the violence and some innuendos. However, I did not see anything wrong with this movie that would keep me from letting my child watch it.James Caviezel plays Edmond Dante's a very naive young man who is in love with Mercedes Iguanada. He is the second m...

I always see this advertisement on television about Del Monte "Fit and Right". It claims to contain L-Carnitine, a substance found in this juice drink that helps eliminate fats in our body. I told myself, "Yeah, right. Another product advertisement that seems effective on TV but actually is purely propaganda."One day while doing my groceries, I got so thirsty and I saw ...

I am not a juice lover because commercial juices are already processed and have too many sugar in them. I tried the Fit N' Right juice of Del Monte and it tasted so good, minus the sweetness. It's not bland but just about right if I may say.Del Monte's Fit N' Right is very apt for people on the go who are aiming to lose some pounds as well. It has L-Carnitine that helps burn fat...

I was once thin before my 2 pregnancies so when hubby and I decided to stop having kids I think of ways where I could loose some body fats. Several years back I never into any pills or work out videos to achieve my goal because those are not my cup of tea. I just relied on household chores that serve as my daily work out but thanks to a reality show wherein they got contestants (men and women) ...

Typically, we do not buy cat treats.  Our cat is 14 years old, slightly overweight, and does not need cat treats. He also doesn't seem to miss cat treats.When we were going away for a few days and another person in our family was going to watch our cat, we picked up a jar of these Pounce Moist Cat Treats to hopefully help a little with his separation anxiety. Our cat loves these Pounce...

My dogs love these canine carry outs!  I buy these because they are a great value.  Most of the treats in the stores are a lot more expensive than these.  A 7 oz. bag is only .99. I like the fact that they look like real meat.  My dogs usually like the soft treats the best, so these are perfect for them.  I even stretch them a little further by breaking them into smalle...

My husband owns a couple of cats, and he likes to feed them 9 Lives canned cat food.  He usually gets the 4 pack.  They did go up in price somewhat, but even with the increase they still are a relatively good buy.His cats seem to enjoy this food very much.  It comes in several different flavors, one of them being tender slices with real beef in gravy, and those cats just go to to...

My brother-in-law picked up a 10 lb box of medium sized Milk-Bone dog treats for his two larger dogs.  I think he paid about $10.00 at Petsmart, which I thought was a good deal for a box this size.  Milk-Bone is a name I trust for dog treats.  They've been around since 1908, so they must be doing something right.  Even my little dachshunds love these treats, though ...

I have a 1-year-old Pomeranian that we got last September. He was just 3 1/2 months old when we got him. When I first brought him home, he was really freaked out about music and one of my friends started rapping a beat. He started to bark as if he wanted to do it too. I bought a bag of Canine Carry Outs and started to experiment with him in his training, I soon had him rapping very well for tho...

With the 2002 movie release, we all know the story of the Count of Monte Cristo - or so we think. A young man wrongly accused and arrested on the day of his wedding spends 14 years in jail and then returns as the wealthy count, unrecognized and bent on revenge. The novel is much deeper than its many movie adaptations. While elaborate vengeance is indeed its central theme, the book clearly shows...

For a life that could have been a happy life, what sort of punishments can a man inflict on those who had shattered his life?"The Count of Monte Cristo", the book by Alexandre Dumas, the book I had read many times (and still reading!), had such a theme of revenge, not a hurried one but like a slow, lingering death. When Edmond Dantes, the protagonist, start being lucky in being nearly...

Everyone needs a nice writing instrument for special occasions, much like every man needs a dark suit for an interview or a funeral or every lady needs a little black dress.  A writing instrument not a cheap disposable Bic. This Montblanc roller ball pen falls in this category. When you buy a Montblanc you are buying a label. A person can quickly identify a Montblac product by the six poin...
