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 u...

"Can you hear me?" - silence..... "Are you there?" crackle crackle fuzzy indeterminate sound.... "Where are you?"... "What?"..... "Are you talking to me?".... "No, I'm ordering as pizza in the middle of nowhere, OF COURSE I am talking to you".... "What - I can't hear you...."Let me explain. After several successful at...

Okay, I am hooked on this show, I am hooked on all that the great foul mouthed master of the kitchen creates! Since you are not reading this to learn about the Scottish born ex-soccer player turned chef, turned media sensation, I shall not bore you with the details, but I must say that this show (as with all his others, Hells Kitchen, The F - Word ) keeps you riveted from start to finish with t...

Gigi All Purpose Honee Microwave Kit - no, it's not a bunch of microwave accessories... All purpose? This was the first question that came to mind, quickly followed by "Can't these people spell?"... I was soon to discover my interpretation of "All Purpose".... Am I Hairy? - do you care? Now, as a preface, let me - for my own peace of mind - inform you that I am not a...

Callwave Internet Answering Machine For the few of us left who are still dependant upon unreliable and slow dial up internet access, this little download is a great tool in allowing us to see and hear who is calling (in real time) while we have our phone lines tied up, chugging along in cyber space!With various service levels, I have chosen the "Connect" level, a $5.95/month service t...

This has to be the most fun game to play - EVER!!CONTENTS The complete band set comes with wireless guitar controller, wireless drum kit and a wired microphone. Initially it is a little bit of a pain to set up and configure, but well worth the aggravation. All the conrollers are lightweight but seem to be quite durable as we have dropped our guitar a few times with no damage done - phew.TRACKS ...

L'Occitane Honey and Lemon Eau de Toilette could be summarized in few words - or sounds: ew!, yuch, pass me the cough drop! For the purposes of reviewing with acceptable content, I shall struggle through this. THE MOMENT OF DISCOVERYI first encountered this catastrophe while enjoying a pleasant lunch with one of my friends. She seemed to love it and found it so "pleasant and fun" ...

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...

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 hav...

Martha Madness Okay, the world has finally gone into a headspin and I have come to the tragic realization that some people can actually realize their dreams of taking over the world.... or at least everything in it! Say It Aint So... Nothing says Christmas like a Martha Stewart album, right ? What do you mean, no ? Now, before you get too excited and knock your Everyday Living coffee mug over o...

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 o...

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...

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 ...

This is one of the tackiest shows ever produced (or not..) but it was one of the funniest! With a slightly misleading title, the New York in question is not the world famous city, moreso a delightfully obnoxious diva that we love to hate ....The Origin... Our titillating star, Ms. New York (aka. Tiffany Pollard) first graced our television screens in the equally sad show - "Flavor Of Love&...

WHY IS A WOMAN WEARING A MANS COLOGNE? I'm not. I understand your confusion, as I discovered this completely by accident!DO TELL My husband, as some of you may know from my previous fragrance reviews, is a Paco Rabanne man. Well, if I am to stand corrected, a Paco Rabanne or Patchouli man. It was May - many years ago - and I was perusing the stores for the ideal birthday gift for the man in...

Fast and sexy - well, thats what comes to mind when one thinks of yellow Ferrari's, however, add to that pretentious, expensive and loud, then you may have a more rounded picture! This Eau de Toilette is appropriately named as it encompasses many of the negative aspects of the car - at least in my humble opinion! It seems as though the manufacturer has tried a "more is better" app...

Pass the lipstick and eyeliner...  No, not to the girls, but to the ever powdered Mr. Bret Michaels!  This man should start his own make up line - he wears enough of it!The ever handsome and pathetically chauvenistic Mr. Michaels, takes us on a journey as he seeks his one true love amidst a bevvy of rock-chicks whom appear to have no idea what clothing actually is!  For the few o...

 For those of you who don't know me, I have hair...  on my head, and lots of it!  "I have hair too!" I hear you yell, then wonderful, this review is for you.  Sadly, for those of you who are hair deprived, you may skip onto something more appropriate....  You're still here?  Thanks for the interest....Given the above statement in regard to my mane...

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 tel...

I love to cook but rarely follow recipes, therefore my kitchen is often described as a science lab (oh, no, sorry - that's my fridge!)  yet I have a vast collection of cookbooks.  I believe I collect cookbooks more for inspiration than for the actual recipes!So Why Review A Cookbook?Good question... because this one is really good!  Healthy Homestyle Cooking is not really my ...
