Why Did I Buy This Thing?

Before purchasing this seemingly expensive kitchen faucet, I did a little research.  What got me was the review I read on Amazon that said something to the effect of "It is the Hummer of kitchen faucets".  While not a Hummer owner myself, I was sold.

I am extremely please to write that our situation with Jacks Wholesale Windows has come to a close.  We first purchased the windows from Jack's a few years ago and we had several issues at first.  I'm happy to say that those issues have all been resolved and faith in Jack's Wholesale Windows has been restored.

The Kwikset 910 CNT ZW (Z-Wave) is a door lock that can be integrated into your existing home automation network. I recently took the opportunity to own one of these deadbolts and integrated it into my Vera controlled network.  It was a rough start, but so far it's looking like a good investment.

Week 1

I have been a loyal customer of Comcast for at least 4 years.  In that time, my internet and/or cable service was interrupted 4 times.  Each time this occurred, I would call the Customer Service line and find out that there was a past due amount. The first three times, I had forgot the schedule the payment and was a few days past due.  Really?  You'll shut off my service for being past due a few days? 

The American Red Cross has a line of emergency preparedness products called Eton.  The Microlink FR160 is one of the smaller FM/AM/Weather Band/Flashlight/USB Charger devices in that line.  Is it worth its weight in renewable energy?  Let's see...

Not too long ago, it was time to start baby-proofing our house. We have a lot of sharp corners on surfaces in our house, especially near common areas like the living room.  We purchased a cushion edge kit at Toys r Us for around $20.  I must say this was a wise investment.

Last fall I purchased Pictionary Man.  What a great investment.  We spread its simplistic, creative joy throughout each of our family events over the holiday season.  The game comes with a cylinder, a box, a figurine, dry-erase marker, and supposedly a score card and rag to keep the surfaces clean between rounds
