About Me: My favorite pastime is playing on the computer. I love searching for new and different things and I love taking old pictures scanning them and creating movies with music for my family.
I have two great kids, both now who live away so I am an empty nester but love it. I see them often and they are the loves of my life.
Ok if you read my review on the lawnmower that my mom & dad bought me you realized I wasn't very happy with it. As much as it was supposed to be self propelled you couldn't tell by me. So I have been on the search for sometime for a new one! Of course being the Lady that I am and not much into mowing I was looking for a riding lawnmower, even though I know my lawn didn't require...
When summer hits I am outside from the minute I get home from work. I have a beautiful deck that I can't wait to get home to. There is nothing more relaxing after a stressful day at work then to sit on my deck are relax.I have a beautiful little lake bedhind me and I enjoy just sitting with a glass on wine and watching the water. Last year I did find that I missed the sound of the water. My...
When I first moved into my house I decided to go with AT&T DSL. It was cheaper than cable and I figured for as much downloading as I do it would do. I was right. I had no problems with this modem, downloaded music with ease and connected to any site I wanted pretty fast.I then got an offer from Comcast and switched over to cable. Well long stroy short that was a mistake. Their cable interne...
I am not a fan of yard work but I know that it has to get done. I bought my riding (bug) lawnmower which makes it a lot more fun to mow but now I needed something to get rid of the weeds by my garden and around my trees. I happen to be watching TV and yes I did it again I put on the paid programming channel. Thats were I found this Worx-GT. I have a weed wacker but it is electric and I will adm...
I work in an office and am on my computer all day. About 5 years ago I got a new computer and was given a Gateway Series E. It is their slim line computer and up until about 6 months ago I would have recommended this computer to everyone. I recently started having problems with overheating. In the middle of working my computer will just shut down. I have to wait about half hour before I can tur...
I have to be the first to admit that I don't know anything about speaker wire. I always thought wire is wire is wire until I bought my new surrond sound system. I had just bought a new 50" TV and I bought the surround sound system to go with it. My daughters boyfriend offered to come hook everything up for me, since he had worked in home theater during college. Of course I had no probl...
All you comcast users be careful of this one. I have had a lot of problems with my DVR and I am not happy being that I count on that machine! I have had to call Comcast numerous times because it is not recording, says it is full and can't record anymore (even though there isn't anything on it). Comcast has replaced it twice and I am now waiting on the thrid one (they are out of them in ...
I don't know if anyone has ever has as hard a time finding jeans that fit like me. I am very tall and very slim so finding jeans that fit tight and are long enough was impossible and I had pretty much given up until was happen to find a sight on the internet that allowed me to make my own jeans! Yes it's true, I picked out the fabric, picked out the style I wanted and gave them the meas...
My computer crashed and bunred at work so they got me a new computer. I had a gateway and this time they bought me a dell! I wasn't sure if I would like it (I am not a fan of dell products!) but I have to admit the computer is pretty sweet and I haven't had any problems with it yet..but the speakers are a different story.Please whatever you do spend a little extra and get better speaker...
I am always looking for new products to help straighten my hair. I have really thick curly hair and it is very hard to straighten. I bought the Bed Head straightener back awhile ago and it was working fine, until I went to Nashville. The kids and I were walking around the Opry Mills Outlet mall and this lady called me over and asked if I had ever heard of the wetline straightener. Of course my ...
I received this necklace from my kids for Mother's Day last year. It was such a wonderful surprise but for reasons that really didn't have to do with the fact that this was a dimaond necklace. Here is the history of this I would like to share with you.When I lived in Hawaii I learned something very valuable about the circle. As most of you know that have ever been to Hawaii it is tradit...
Ok, this was one of those purchase that you swear you must have been drunk when you bought this because no matter how hard you try you can't figure out why you did it. I did this with these phones. I was shopping at Somerset Mall in Troy and happen to wander into the Bang & Olufsen store. i had never even heard of this store but saw that it was all electronics..well that was enough for ...
Ok it is something that we want but don't want to admit they we are getting old enough to really start being serious about retiring. I have to admit I never worried about any finances until I got divorced. I suddenly realized that it is now my responsiblity to make sure that I am ok.I didn't even no where to begin but kept seeing a commercial for the retirement red zone. Granted I am no...
I have always wanted a roll top desk. I always thought they were so beautiful and functional. When I was married my husband thought they were a waste of money and wouldn't even consider buying one.Well when I got divorced guess what was the first thing I treated myself too! Yep went out and bought myself my roll top desk. It has been everything that I thought it was. It is a beautiful piece...
I have been wanting some kind of storage box for my deck. I have a lot of nick nacks and candles that I love to put out on the patio but don't want to leave them out there all night. So every night I have to collect all my little treasures and store them in the garage. Not anymore, my mom & dad just bought me this Pack & Go Deck Box and I love it. It not only stores all my little tr...
Everybody knows I am a big fan of the Ikea Store and love to go shopping there. On my last trip I was looking for a floor lamp for my den, something that would give me some soft lighting by the computer and also be stylish. Somehow Ikea just knows This floor lamp is perfect for any den, bedroom or even living room. It is so stylish and gives off a soft light, but it is bright enough that I can ...
Even though I find this printer a little pricy..I love it and feel its worth it. This is my third printer and by far the best one I have bought. Picture quality is beyond what I could have hoped for. I print a lot of pictures and I find this printer to be the best in quality and speed. I also found that the print cartridges do last a long time which is a nice feature considering the cost ...
My mom saw this machine on tv and really wanted it. Well she didn't buy it when she saw it and the show didn't come on the next week..so she sent her daughter searching on the internet for it. I found it in a couple of places and bought it for her on ebay ($150.00).I wasn't sure she was going to be really happy with this, it is suppose to be a very good exercise machine for your hip...
I was in the mood to change my den around so after reading (again!) great reviews on SR I found the corner desk that would be perfect in the small den that I have. I went to Ikea and bought it. Now I needed a new chair because the desk was black and the only chair I had was oak, not going to work!I did see a really cool cloth chair at Ikea for $79 but my daughter said, why don't you wait an...
I love sitting outside in the evening during the summer. I work in an office all day so during the summer when I get home from work I head for the deck! A lot of times I sit out late at night and have a cup of coffee and it can get a little chilly, yes even during the summers Michigan and get chilly at night. I was at Lowe's the other day and saw this beautiful fire pit and I thought this w...
