Tough Actin’ Tinactin Liquid Spray »
by Brigham B. Okay, so this one is a little more personal than my other posts. Let’s just say that I was in need of something to cure my athlete’s foot infection. You will probably thank me for not posting close-ups of my feet (okay it isn’t really that bad). Athlete’s foot, or tinea pedis, in medical [...]
Great Clips Haircuts »
by Brigham B. It happens all too often. I look at myself in the mirror and what do I see? Hair everywhere! It’s haircut time for me. I usually put it off until I can’t stand it any longer. You see, growing up I never had to worry about it. My mom always told me [...]
Gerber Gator Machete »
by Brigham B. I was having some major blackberry problems (no, not the cell phone). They were taking over my fence and my garage, infiltrating my domain from the neighbor’s back yard. I tried to take them out with a broomstick, but that didn’t prove to be too effective. Suddenly, I had a bright idea–I could go [...]
Palermo Dining Table with Lazy Susan (Jaclyn Smith Today) »
by Glen A. Since we got the cover built over our patio in the backyard, Angela has been looking to populate the area with chairs and a table. After a while, she came home with chairs she was given from a woman she cleans house for, but no table (and only most of the chairs–the [...]
Taylor Add N Weigh Food Scale »
by Glen A. Last week I revealed I was using an iPhone app called Lose It! to monitor my caloric intake and how my renewed effort to lose weight was going. Well, in many instances, keeping track of the calories means I need to know just how many ounces of food I’m actually eating, when [...]
Pacific Power Energy Saver Kit »
by Brigham B. A few months ago, my family went ahead and made the switch over to fluorescent light bulbs in an effort to reduce our power consumption and our carbon footprint and all that jazz. While the reduction in our monthly power bill hasn’t been quite as fantastic as I’d hoped, I think I [...]
Converse All Star Chuck Taylor »
by Brigham B. When I parked in front of my house after work today I was quite surprised to see my son, Bruce, running up to my car at top speed. For a second, I thought, “How nice, he’s really excited to see me!” As soon as he reached my open car door, he informed [...]
SeasonGuard Retractaway Screen »
by Glen A. For the longest time now, Angela has wanted a screen door for the main entrance. Since the family typically comes through the garage when we’re coming and going, it is used primarily for guests. However, during the summertime, she thought it would be nice to use the patio screen door and a [...]
Sofitalia Valenti Leather Sofa & Chairs »
by Glen A. Since we moved into our current abode five and a half years ago, Angela and I have been talking about replacing the furniture throughout the house. The focus in particular has been on our bedroom furniture, and that of the living room. I thought we were close last year when I finally [...]
Nine Stars Infrared Stainless Touchless Trash Cans, 2-pack Combo »
by Glen A. It’s not often that you go shopping specifically for trash cans. Since most outdoor trash cans are provided by the garbage company, that leaves only the ones you might have inside your home, particularly in the kitchen and in the bathrooms. I can’t say I’ve ever bought trash cans before, let alone [...]
Berkshire leather reclining couch, lingerie chest and nightstand by Nottingham »
by Glen A. Never let it be said that when we decide to buy furniture, that we don’t do it so it looks like we’re buying the entire store. Or at least that’s the way it felt like after the three customer service guys at our local Costco had our small utility trailer and most [...]
Altima Tuscany Grill »
by Glen A. As I’ve probably mentioned elsewhere on this site, we like to invite people over for dinner. My wife generally prepares Mexican food, and when it happens to be tacos de carne asada, I’m employed to grill up the thin strips of steak. It always tastes better on a grill, especially after it’s [...]
Schick Quattro Titanium »
by Trevor A. Throughout my young life, I have used quite a few razors to shave with. And to this day I still think shaving stinks. This is the second time I’ve reviewed a razor, although this happens to be an accident. A good accident. My brother, for some bizarre reason, had to take the [...]
Valentine’s Day gifts from Pajamagram »
by Glen A. I don’t normally do anything for Valentine’s Day. It’s not that I’m not romantic, or don’t love my wife. I could probably get into a long treatise on the rampant commercialism in our society’s holidays, but there’s more of a pratical explanation. The way it works out in our household, there’s three [...]
Dyson DC-14 Animal Vacuum Cleaner (Purple) »
By Glen A. Dyson, along with Oreck, is a brand of vacuum I’ve always wanted to try. They’re spendier than others, which is one of the reasons why I haven’t. We’ve gone after the “cheaper” upright vacuums (cheaper being $200-$300), and usually after a couple of years, there’s an issue with them. We have a [...]
