My New Broan 757SN Bathroom Light and Fan

Posted in Home Improvement, Gift Ideas, Shopping, Website Reviews on November 1st, 2010

Broan 757SN Bathroom Light FanA few weeks ago the fan in my bathroom stopped working completely. It is the original fan that was installed when I moved in and I have no idea how old it is. I was looking online for some newer looking bathroom fans and I found one that I absolutely fell in love with. It is the Broan 757SN. This model provides a bathroom light with a built-in fan and looks great. The finish is satin / nickel with a frosted glass cover and the frame is made of steel. The color matches my bathroom perfectly. I honestly had no idea you could buy bathroom lights with built in fans until I did some searching online. If you’re planning to remodel your bathroom, I can definitely recommend this light / fan combo. It works great and looks even better.

iPad Cracked Screen

Posted in Tips, Gift Ideas, Shopping, Website Reviews, Technology on November 1st, 2010

iPad Cracked ScreenA friend of mine always has to go out and buy the latest and greatest tech-gadgets as soon as they hit the market. One of the newest items he picked up was a new iPad. A few weeks after he purchased it, he dropped it outside of his home while showing it to someone and cracked the screen. If I were going to buy something like that, I probably would never take it outside or even give myself a chance to drop it. But, if I did buy anything like an iPad, I would be sure to purchase an iPad warranty or at least some iPad insurance, just in case. I’m the kind of person that usually waits until a product is out for a while before I will even consider buying it. You never know what kind of bugs and flaws will be announced after it has been commercially available for a few months. I tend to wait and buy things after they have worked out all of the glitches first. Call me crazy.

I Love my Button Ups and Polo Shirts

Posted in Gift Ideas, Shopping, Website Reviews on October 25th, 2010

When I was younger, I wore a lot of baggy, sloppy looking clothes. As I started getting older, I began wearing more form fitting button up shirts and men’s polo shirts. Every year for Christmas my girlfriend gets me at least two new polo shirts and a few button up shirts. I probably have a polo shirt with every design you can imagine, ranging from every plain color available, to stripes and multi-color designs. I don’t think there is anything wrong with wearing a pair of semi-loose fitting jeans, some low-top sneakers and a nice looking button up or polo shirt. I know I attract way more women dressing how I do now, rather than how I used to dress, and that makes it all worth it.

Buying Candles

Posted in Gift Ideas, Shopping, Website Reviews on April 19th, 2009

Many of your nicer card shops also sell candles and other scented products. They also usually have a candle burner at the cash register counter. It makes the store smell so good. When people smell the candle burning while checking out, they usually ask what scent it is, if it is one that appeals to them. Often, they will ask the clerk if they can go find them and buy at least one, along with the rest of their purchase. Usually whatever scent the candle is, also comes in the form of potpourri, which is also a big seller.

Mig Welder Comes In Handy

Posted in Random Thoughts, Gift Ideas, Website Reviews, Technology on March 20th, 2009

My sister was at an automotive independent repair shop last week getting some work done on her car. She was told that she was going to have to wait two to three hours before it was ready, so she called me to pick her up and take her home. When I arrived there, she had been in the garage where they showed her different parts needed to fix her car. She noticed a welder that she wanted my opinion on, because she was thinking of buying one for her husband for Christmas. It was a heavy duty mig welder. We both talked to the mechanic about the features it had on it and if it was worth the money it cost. He said he would only buy a mig welder and his was a heavy duty one. He has had it for a few years now and has never had a problem with it. He also said depending on what type of job you would be using it on should be considered before buying one, but he said he would definitely buy a mig welder. They come in different brands which have different features.

Heated Blankets

Posted in Gift Ideas, Website Reviews on March 4th, 2009

There are many ways of cutting the cost of high gas bills in the winter. Some people have got their gas shut off because of non payment of their bill, if the degree is not below a certain temperature outside. A friend of mine uses different space heaters, turns his electric oven on for awhile, and other different ways of saving on gas. He even turns the heat way down whenever he is going to be laying down or resting, and uses a heated blanket. He also uses it sometimes when he is just sitting or laying around his house while watching television and doing other things.

I’ll Stick With My Transcend SDHC Card

Posted in Random Thoughts, Gift Ideas, Shopping, Website Reviews, Technology on November 22nd, 2008

Last week I picked up an SanDisk 8GB Cruzer Micro USB flash drive and I’m really not that impressed with it’s read and write speed. It takes about three times as long to transfer data as my Transcend 16gb SDHC card through a Transcend USB card reader and that’s not really acceptable to me. I think I’m going to return it and just put a few bucks with it and get anothr Transcend SDHC card and card reader combo.

I’d Like To Take Them To Disney Land

Posted in Vacation, Gift Ideas, Travel, Holidays, Website Reviews on October 11th, 2008

My girlfriend keeps asking me if we can take a trip to Disney Land. She has a 6 year old son from her pervious relationship and the kid pretty much looks at me like a father. His real dad never comes around and I do pretty much consider him to be my son. I’d like to find a decent deal on some Disney vacations packages and surprise them for Christmas if I can. A few friends of mine are trying to get me to go to Las Vegas before Christmas gets here, so I might endup taking 2 vacations before 2008 is over.

New Cell Phone Repeater

Posted in Gift Ideas, Shopping, Website Reviews, Technology on September 1st, 2008

I recently notified my cell phone carrier about the service I was receiving on my cell phone. The connection was terrible and I was constantly getting many dropped calls. The advised me to buy a cell phone repeater. I had never heard of this product before so I decided to check it out. I was so glad that I did. I have much much reception with it and I can also use it in any car I am in. I don’t have to install it in my car only. The reception is much better and I rarely get any dropped calls now. I wished I would have know of this a long time ago. It makes so much positive difference. I can now stop thinking of changing cell phone companies. That is all that I needed.

I Enjoy Golfing

Posted in Sports, Gift Ideas, Shopping, Website Reviews on August 21st, 2008

One of the busiest places I choose to go during the Spring months through the Fall months is the golf course. I may play a game, or just go there to hit a few practice balls. Everywhere I look when I am there are golf bags. I recently purchased me a new one, which looks much better than the one I was using. I had been using the same one for the past 9 years. I might have saved some money if I shopped around, but decided to buy it in the shop at the golf range, since I found one that I really liked there.
