I had to find something for my dad’s 50th birthday, and had no clue. I had to make it special, but didn’t have a lot of moolah saved up [so the Toyota’s out], but wanted to give something that he would cherish until at least his 60th birthday.
I was …

I was really excited when I first saw this pen because it was always sad to see so much plastic going to waste every time people throw away their plastic mineral bottles after a day.
Then one day I stepped into the bookshop …

I always carry a small notepad in my back pocket, and I am very particular about the size, durability, and price. Alco Memo Books have met my criteria because they come in a pack of six for only $1, they are bound at the top instead of on …

There’s a quiet evolution happening in Wadena, Minnesota. The artists have taken to decorating the sides of the buildings with large puzzle shaped murals. Like a big giant that randomly tossed the pieces of puzzles throughout the town, gluing them to various sides of the buildings to …

Even though I was a bit reluctant to start decorating for Christmas before next week (my youngest daughter has a tendency to get into things lately and was afraid she would simply make a mess of the decorations), I caved in and finally decided to put up our tree …

This review is for the Hauppauge Racing Forum. It’s a fancy off track betting (OTB) place located in Hauppauge, NY over on Motor Parkway near the Long Island Express way. I just have to say that this is one of the poorest run OTBs I’ve ever been to. The …

I got this pen from my dad when I was in a hurry and had no time to buy a pen. I am very much confident about my dad’s choice, which was weirdly one of my first impressions of the pen. With a very bad performance from Jetter Youth, …

I simply love this Pilot G-Tech-C4 pen — it is possibly my favorite pen after all these years. I am typically very fussy about the kind of pens/pencils I use — you could say I’m almost obsessive-compulsive about it. Yet this pen fulfills everything that I want, something that …

Last Christmas we needed a new artificial tree. Although I was a bit leary, my husband convinced me to try a prelit. We ended up with a six foot prelit Winston Pine from Walmart. When we got the tree out of the box, we found it was all in …

I would highly recommend these bell boots to anyone that is in the market to purchase. I have tried many different brands and have been the most pleased with the fit and construction of the Pro Tech bell boot manufactured by the Classic Equine company. One …

bought this handbag just this year and the reason why I choose this bag is because I just simply love its elegant design and look which comes in a black color with some silver embellishment and a “G” signature trademark from Guess which is placed in the center of …

I have this punching bag not because I want to become a boxer but to diversify the sports activities we can do in the house. Choosing the type of punching bag we wanted was a difficult one. When we were in West Africa, I needed one which was unfilled …

Star Trek: The Next Generation Enterprise D Ship by Diamond Select is quite gorgeous. The model features numerous details that never really quite came alive or into perspective on the television show, like the Captain’s Yacht and the escape pods. What is really great is that this model, like …

I has a pleasant surprise when I opened the letter my aunt has sent. Inside it I have found the Baby Boy Greeting Card by Paper House. I think it is a beautiful greeting card and would love to share this pleasant experience with you.
Let me start this review …

I have always been somewhat of a critic of talk shows and talk show hosts paricularly, mainly because of a certain elemene of ignorance on their part that becomes clear through the way in which they present information about certain parts of the world that their audiences are not …

Papermate ink pens usually come in large packs of 10 or more for a reasonably low price. If you loose pens often, then these can be a great purchase. they’re cheap, and loosing one isnt a huge loss. If you hang on to your pens you may want …

Star Trek II NCC-1701 Battle Damaged Enterprise The Wrath of Khan by Art Asylum model is incorrectly labeled, for some peculiar reason. All the damage that appears on this model takes place as the Enterprise is exploding in Star Trek III after Kirk initiates auto-destruct. Yes, the Enterprise took …

This is a widget that is called the idiot test. It is a test but it’s fun. It’s more like a game than a test I would say. I really like it overall and even put it on my blog. It’s kind of addicting, once you mess up you …

I joined the Kevin Harvick fan club for the first time in a few years because one of my online friends kept raving about how great the kit was this year. The last time I joined I was fairly disappointed by the meager items I got, but I decided …

The Wilker’s Maximum Contact Pad is very popular among riders in the show ring. Personally, Wilker’s Maximum Contact Pad is not one of my favorites, but this is a very decent saddle pad. What I like about Wilker’s Maximum Contact Show Pad is that it has features like a …

When I was in highschool I always buy my intermediate pad paper from National Bookstore. I buy the one that they produce through their Best Buy line. I think that they are right when it really is the best buy. It is not the cheapest, but it has the …

I have never been into the whole motor riding cars for kids. After my niece got hurt one time I was so against it. I think that they aren’t really made for toddlers. I told my sister this before but she want to take a few hundred dollars and buy …

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan 25th Anniversary U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 by Art Asylum is a gorgeous model, simply put. The refit Enterprise A has always been a favorite of mine. It took everything that was attractive and appealing about the original Enterprise from the show and expanded …

It’s a small product only, but sometimes you need to know the review about the product. What is that? It’s a glue from Vroom & Dreesman. In the beginning, I did not know that this store sell their own brand glue.
I thought this store only sell clothes, shoes …

I used to be able to find my favorite color change battery operated pillar candles at stores like Walgreens and Longs before they became CVS. Now they only seem to have the regular ones with no colors. I was excited when I found color changing pillar LED candles on …

Reading Japanese manga which is also known in English as comic is my hobby when I’m relaxing or just want a piece of mind. I already read a lot of manga and most of them have crap stories, I also experienced reading a over hyped up manga and it …

In the realm of office products there are a wide variety of products that people use on a daily basis and others that are only used once in awhile. One quality office product is the masking tape produced by Scotch. Scotch is a name brand producer of …

I have stainless steel double sinks in my kitchen, and I have found that they can be a real hassle to keep shiny. The faucet and handles were always seemingly spotty or just not shiny. THEN, I discovered that Soft Soap, made by Palmolive, can be simply splashed onto …

The Leek is one of the most popular knives in the entire Kershaw line, and for good reason. This review will focus on the tungsten DLC coated, stainless steel handled, serrated blade version of the knife, though there are many other configurations available. To start, I will …

In a couple of days, the City of Beaver Dam, WI will once again celebrate the annual Halloween tradition of trick or treating. While I’m sure my daughter will enjoy it, I do feel the city’s restrictions on the event take away from the traditions we were used to …

When my husband came home with this bathroom tissue after shopping from Walmart, I had doubts if it was good. Our family only use Charmin bathroom tissues for a long time now and occasionally other reliable brands as well. But this one was different and the brand was unfamiliar …

I have had problems growing a garden the past couple of years because of the number of trees in my backyard. However, last fall, I took the majority of trees out of the yard and now have enough light for a garden to grow. And, with the price of …

Radio City kicked off in the Garden City a few years back with a lot of noise. And even today it produces more noise than meaning.

2. Singles earning a five figure salary
3. Housewives (occasionally)
4. Their main target is the janta stuck in traffic.

I like to keep a box of wooden kitchen matches on hand in case the stove doesn’t want to light. It does this on rare occasion, generally after you wash it. Yes, you try to be careful but I guess sometimes the wrong thing gets wet. That happened today …

I bought the Yale Personal Attack alarm around a year ago after being attacked by a stranger as I walked home from work. Like most people I never really thought this could happen to me especially at 8 o’clock at night on a well lit main road. Luckily I …

Star Trek: Ships of the Line: 2009 Wall Calendar is a beautiful calendar that will take you to strange new worlds come each month, however, I have never in my life seen a calendar designed in such a peculiar, and in my opinion, idiotic manner. This calendar is not …

I have the Post-it Notes in the office at work. I have used them several times to leave notes to my colleagues and have found this to be a positive experience. Please let me share this experience with you.
First I would like to review the design of the notes. …

Scotch Tape is the first brand that comes to mind when people think of tape, and for good reason too. Never before have I seen another brand which works this well, and I’d never switch to another one. Firstly, it’s very long lasting and never comes off unless you …

Star Trek Classic Enterprise NCC-1701 by Diamond Comics is a model that I have sitting next to my other models of the grand old NCC-1701. Yes, I own several models and model variations of the iconic Constitution-class starship and I am happy that I do because they are not …

About ten or maybe even eleven years ago at this point, I purchased a Swing line stapler from a small office supply store in my home town. I paid a little more for this stapler, maybe ten dollars back then, but I knew before making the purchase that I …

The Jansport brand of backpack is by far the most durable backpack I have ever owned. I got my bag as a hammy down from my older cousin. He used it for 4 years before giving it to me and it was still in great condition when I got …

The Walther PK380 is a pretty nice handgun. It’s easy to use and fun to shoot but it has it’s drawbacks.
I bought this gun 1 year ago and I really like it. It feels great in my hand. I have smaller hands so they aren’t able to wrap around …

Tru-Rite Sketchbook is a drawing book that I found at Staples while searching for art supplies. There were other sketchbooks that I was interested in; however, none of them compared to the price point offered by Tru-rite sketchbook: $3.99. I ended up buying five because the price was to …

The Jansport Daypack bag pack is great. I love it especially now that I am in high school. It is not too kiddy or out of style. It is cool and comfortable.
I have had three now. I buy a new one each year. These bag packs …

My oldest son has always been into skateboarding. I never liked the idea and personally wanted him to find a different hobby. But when it comes to kids you must oblige in the things that they like to do. So I have finally gotten over my fear of him …

I bought a My Brest Friend nursing pillow since it was the #1 choice of lactation consultants, but I was a bit disappointed with it. I tried it out for awhile, then went back to my Boppy.
My Brest Friend does have some features that the Boppy does not …

As a student, one of my most useful pieces of stationery, are the Faber Castell highlighters. I have four of these in the colors green, blue, yellow and pink. I also found that experimenting with a mixture of two or more of these colors yields new colors, such as …

I bought an HP Pocket PC organizer which has a touch screen. I love it to death but I just cannot stand the stylus pen that goes with it. I needed something that I can use for my Pocket PC and as a pen to take notes on regular …

Ah, good old Hi-Point. Here’s an Ohio-based company that has, apparently, decided that you shouldn’t have to cash in your life savings in order to enjoy your Second Amendment rights and protect your home and family. The Model JCP 40 SW lists for $199 and you can probably find it …

I used to buy a more famous brand of cigarette rolling papers but I always buy Zig-Zags now as they are far more reliable and they are cheaper too. I can usually pick these up from newsagents or convenience stores for as little as 18p for a pack …
