I use the ID-Armor in my work office.  It is very sturdy and can shred 15 sheets of paper at a time.  Most shredders that say that can only handle 5 sheets, but I actually used 15 sheets and it shredded it.  It didn't sound too happy doing it, but it did it.  I like this shredder because it cuts the paper up into small pieces, not strips that would be easy to put back to...

I found this Ralph Lauren gym bag at TJ Maxx for $29.99.  I immediately liked it because it was plain and simple, yet stylish.  It's a lightweight nylon material with RL scattered over it inbetween a small pattern.  It came in different colors, black, blue, and tan.  I got the blue.  That means it has a blue pattern and blue RL's with a blue handle.  The ma...

My friend has a 2000 Dodge Dakota and I have driven it on several occasions.  I own a Honda Civic and I can definitely say that I am a car person.  The truck seems really shaky when I drive it.  I don't know if that' standard of trucks since I don't drive a lot of them, but I don't like it at all.  There's plently of room in the bed of the truck, but if I...

If you own a laptop and you travel a lot, I think a laptop case or sleeve is needed.  The Sony Vio Neoprene Sleeve doesn't just fit the Sony laptops.  I have a Dell 700m and it fits perfectly.  It's designed to fit the smaller 12 inch screen computers.  It's plain black with a rubber thing on the front that says Sony.  I dont like that part, but it's eas...

I've always wanted a scooter.  When I went to the Yamaha place and looked for one, the Vino stood out to me.  First off, it's a 125cc, which means it'll be able to keep up with traffic.  The top speed is 80, but the most I've gotten it up to was about 65mph.  It's very easy to handle, but like a motorcycle, you have to give yourself a learning period.&nbs...

If you do any kind of exercise while laying on the floor, I suggest the harbinger exercise mat.  It really helps with yoga because the floor can get uncomfortable.  The mat is in 3 sections that are all attached together so you can fold it up and put it under the bed for storage.  It's a very thick, sturdy mat, but it's soft enough so it won't hurt your back.  I ...

I'm sure a lot of you have seen the Tide To Go commercials with Kelly Ripa.  They are pretty funny and the product works well.  The Tide To Go pen is very simple to use.  Take of the cap, press the end on the stain until the liquid comes out, then rub in.  If you get the stain right away, it'll come out pretty fast.  If you have an old stain, it won't work v...

I use the Aastra telephone in my office several times a day.  It's just a basic phone with some good features so it's not too big, bulky or flashy.  The cord is kind of short, but it's good if you just use it at your desk.  It has basic features like 'hold, redial, dial, flash, and speaker phone'.  The manual is kind of confusing, but I was able to figure...

I recently purchased the Zippo MPL lighter in the Yankee Candle Company store after my other bendable lighter broke.  This lighter is really sleek looking.  You hold a button in the back and slide a lever on the front up so it's pretty much child proof.  The lighter is about 10 inches long and is a nice silver color.  It has a little hook on the end incase you want to ha...

I got this as a gift and it's pretty neat, but not really useful.  It's a little black plastic cat that senses sounds.  Turn it on when you play music and it will hear it and start a little light show on it's head that will sync to the beat of the music.  Its ears and head move around as well.  If there isn't music playing you can play little games with it by...

I bought my car new off the lot it 2004.  I did a lot of research beforehand and for the value, Honda seemed the way to go.  I liked the way it looked on the outside and the inside is very nice.  It has gray fabric seats with a subdued pattern and the interior trim (dashboard, etc) is two tone black and gray.  In fact, today I went to Sonic and the carhop said she liked the ...

This desktop computer is pretty good.  That doesn not mean that it is very good.  It was purchased about 3 years ago so it is pretty much obsolete.  The computer unit is pretty big and heavy, but I have put an additional hard drive and DVD/CD RW in it and there is plenty of expansion room left.  I have had to replace the power supply because of it.  Before I replaced th...

I bought the Dell Inspiron 700m about 2 years ago.  I was looking for a lightweight computer that I could bring with me on trips and not have to worry about breaking my back with the weight.  I like the look of the Dell Inspiron 700m.  It's silver with white trim.  It has a 12 inch screen.  It weighs about 4.5 pounds.  Right now it weighs a little more because ...

Season 1 of Deadwood introduces a gold mining town in the late 1800's.  There is no law and secrets and lies fly in order to make money and get ahead.  If you are sensitive to cursing, sex and violence...do NOT watch this television show.  There are many side stories, but the main story surrounds the Gem Saloon owner, a former Montana sheriff, and Wild Bill Hickcock and frien...

The Sony Playstation 3 is a fairly new product with a lot of popularity.  It replaced the old Playstation 2.  My husband bought one when it first came out so he paid top dollar.  I think it's outrageously outpriced, but it is a pretty neat video game console.  The games are also very expensive: $50 to $60 each and if you want another controller or accessories, just be pr...

The Nintendo Wii is a nifty new video console.  It's a lot different that what you are usually used to.  It can connect to the internet just like a regular computer.  In fact, if you don't have a computer, it would probably be a nice temporary solution until you get one.  It has a hard drive to store files and games.  The controller takes some getting used to.&n...

If you like name brand clothing, you'll like Bebe.  First off, you can't be chubby and wear Bebe clothes.  I'm not trying to be mean, but bebe is very form fitting and usually doesn't come in large sizes.  My lounge pants were a medium and fit skin tight.  If you don't mind people starting at your booty, these are the pants for you.  They are very co...

If you want a comfy couch, go to la-z-boy.  I got a reclining couch from them back in 2001.  It's the best purchase I've ever made!  It's gotten a lot of use and everything still works great.  One of the stitches came out in the back, but I don't mind and it's not like it's falling apart.  The thing you pull to recline is hidden on the side of th...

I felt kinda weird buying an automatic can opener.  I'm in my mid-twenties and I thought that was the ultimate in laziness.  Regular can openers hurt my fingers though, so I figured why not.  This appliance isn't anything fancy.  It took a couple tries to know where to place the can under the magnet and little bar that holds on to it, but it's very easy now. ...

I really like the iPod shuffle.  First of all, it's super tiny.  It has a clip on the back, which I clip to the waist band of my shorts when I run.  That feature is very handy.  No armband to mess with.  I didn't like the earbuds that came with it, but I don't like earbuds in general.  I just put my other headphones in there and it works just fine. ...
