I am an advocate of savings.  I have also realized and take advantage of diversifying.  I make sure not all of my money is placed in one account.  As such, I have several savings at accounts around the country.  In 2006, I discovered ING Direct.  I was impressed when I received an email regarding the interest rate I would be offered to establish an account.  N...

This is the first example of gothic/chic lit that I have ever seen. It follows the story of Betsy, who is turned into a vampire against her wishes after being hit by a car. The reader learns how she adjusts, or attempts to adjust, to her new life while trying to maintain her relationship with her still living best friend and parents and deal with her shoe obsession now that she can no longer wo...

I had been wanting to visit Neuschwanstein ever since I saw a poster of it while I was in college. Finally, last year, I was able to make that dream a reality. It is every bit as gorgeous as it is in the picture, if not moreso.If you're going to visit, be sure to bring good walking shoes. After we bought our tickets, we had to walk up a steep hill for about half an hour. There are even gift...

    I have had many credit cards, and I have never had the experience with any that I have recently had with WAMU.    I had signed up for the card just so that I could get there free fico score.  My husband had a card with them and I seen he could get his score free whenever he wanted it or needed it,  I like that idea, so when they send me the pre-approv...

I purchased this Blitz gas can as a gift for my husband. We have mostly used the old-fashioned flex nozzle gas cans. But when I saw this I thought it was a pretty ingenious design.First, you do not have to mess with pulling the nozzle out of the can, repositioning it, and risk getting fuel on you. The only thing that must be done prior to fueling or filling is to remove the transport stop cap. ...

I purchased Seasons One and Two of the Universe from the History Channel.com website.  This is a collection of nine DVDs in all, and my husband and I have watched all of them and just love them.  I'm interested in anything that has to do with the stars and planets, and this collection covers all the bases. We learn about the planets, the stars, supernovas, black holes, the ga...

This is not really so much a game but  educational computer software. I just got done taking  Anatomy and  Physiology classes at College and this software was very informational. My grandma bought it for me as a gift so I  have no idea where she bought it or how much it was. It shows everything about the human body in a condensed brief overview. On some of the sections you g...

This is a review written by my friend. Technically this isn't a piece of furniture or a cushion but a betta fish makes a nice accessory for any dwelling. I was at PetsMart looking around and I noticed the Betta fish sitting in their corner of the fish section. Most of them were very lethargic looking and not very colorful (which a betta fish should be). I managed to find a frisky one t...

When I was looking for my last new vehicle, I had a good idea of what I was looking for, or at least the basics. All the miscellaneous stuff they add to vehicles is enough to make me crazy. Not having children, I have no use for a DVD player, yet it was hard to find a vehicle without one. After months of searching car lots in person and even more online, I found the right vehicle for me. Findin...

Not to sound all weird but i normally dont lie gay movies due to the fact that they are usually crap. But one i started watching this i was sucked in by the music and the story. This story start of with a boy who lives in a town that gay people are often shoved into the closet for their own protection . In this awesome story written by Tom Gustafson he introduces Tanner Cohen (Timothy) who sing...

OK, I started using this sunblock because I react badly to sun screen now because of some lotion I've used, and this sun screen doesn't cause any allergic reactions, which is a major bonus! When I sprayed it on, it left a layer of oil on my skin, which is not really "oil-free" as it had said, but it did go away with a little rubbing. It had a light soothing smell that didn'...

I went to Sacramento with my classmates and we ended up having rooms booked in the Best Western Hotel there. I don't go to hotels all that often, so bear with me.It was a very nice place. The lobby was casual and there was even a computer there for people to use. The service was...somewhat friendly. They didn't really greet you unless you greeted them, but from there they were pretty ni...

This is the sequel to Cooking Mama. It's the same basic concept, more recipes, and a little bit more advanced in how you cook things. Actually, the game was a little too difficult for me so I quit. It didn't seem as fun as the last game, anyway. There really wasn't too much different compared to thefirst game, which was a disappointment, but the new recipes added a few new cooking c...

Ok, starting off, I am a big manga fanatic. I know my stuff when it comes to shoujo. So when I read this manga (I even reread it a year or so after to get a better grasp on the plot) I was quite disappointed.The plot was simple. Hatsumi tries to help out her sister by buying her a pregnancy test, but is caught by Ryouki, the son of the head of the company everyone in her apartment complex works...

I was doing some serious holiday shopping this week and the week before that. I've been trying to make a dent in my list for Halloween, my mom's birthday and even Christmastime. One of my stops was Walmart. I buy gifts for my pets for the holidays so I stopped in the pet section. When I saw this pink (Yay!), patterned, cube-shaped bed and hiding place, I grabbed one. There were only two...

The new Dial For Men Magnetic Attraction Enhancing Body wash is an interesting product due to the fact that it claims to have pheromones infused in it. Now I'm under the impression that pheromones supposively are what attracts the opposite sex so it sounds like a guys dream, right? Well, I don't know if it attracts the opposite sex being that I'm engaged but, it sure doesn't see...

I rented this book from the library, but I found it so interesting that I have it added to my Amazon wishlist for my next order.  The title grabbed me immediately because I don't think anyone could ever love books too much, but when I began reading about the whole world of book theives I was totally into it. The author starts out by talking about how the book world works and about...

    I've had a lot of credit cards in my life -- probably too many, if I'm honest. But my Capital One Visa card is the only one I have now, and the only one I need.    Many years ago, I felt I had no choice but to declare bankruptcy. I was unable to work because of chronic illness, my husband had left me, and left me with the bills and a big house payment, ...

A couple months ago we found ourselves in a bind with a very high credit card balance and no way to reduce our interest rate below 20%.  I have a bank account with Regions Bank and called them to see if they offered a credit card at a lower interest rate we could transfer our money onto.What Regions Bank offered me was a cash advance.  I think I had probably received offers for such a...

I have recently started producing videos for a website and after trying several free trials I have found that I love using Sony Vegas Movie Studio. Initially, it was very confusing but now it is relatively simple to produce a video file that can be uploaded to a website or downloaded to a DVD. I am using Sony Vegas Movie Studio 6.0. While there are more current versions, I have found I have bee...
