Purchased a 14 kt gold 7 1/2" wrist chain from ClassyGlassandJeweles through the Esty.com website. The price was low and the quality high. I was impressed with how beautiful the wrist chain was. It was a perfect match to a 16" 14 kt gold neck chain I had also purchased through Esty.com.

I bought a 16' 14 kt gold necklace with the recipients name, custom made, as part of the chain. Impressed with the workmanship and beauty of the piece. And got 35% off the normal sales price. It's delicate look and classic gold shine make this piece of jewelry an eye catcher! Highly recommend this seller to anyone. I went through Esty.com to purchase the piece for Christmas.

I bought a cell phone jamming device from Jammerall that said it would jam cell phones from 9 to 30 ft away. And jam WiFi. It did neither. And since I bought it from directly from China, to return it would cost me more than $30. I paid less than $90 for the unit. It's nothing more than a cigarette-sized piece of plastic junk with a pretty blue "on" light. Jammerall's web site promises a lot and delivers nothing. Payment through PayPal was to JKDCSECURITY.COM.

My room mate craved garlic knots. We usually get them at another nearby restaurant. We ordered garlic knots from Mama's. Some of the garlic knots were over cooked and tough. And several were perfect. The varied in size from one bite to three bites. It's as if each one was cooked in a different oven at various temperatures. The tomato sauce used to dip the garlic knots in was obviously canned and watery. Maybe Mama's is great at pizza, but the garlic knots were horrid. While waiting for my order, I noticed there was limited seating, with crowded tables. It is a hole-in-the wall restaurant and that the toilet room sat out in the room. I would hate to be the one sitting at one of the two tables right next to the toilet.

As you know, if you've read my reviews, I rarely find a restaurant that is so horrible that I can't find anything good to say about it. Bellissimo's Italian Eatery is that restaurant. And people know I'm exceptionally easy to please. My friends ordered garlic knots as an appetizer. They were not cooked all the way through and were doughy. My friends meat lasagna was cooked so much earlier that the bottom pasta was hard, dried out and burned. My other friend had a salad and was given dressing in a plastic tear open pack! My vegetable dish was watery with over cooked spaghetti. The vegetables had no flavor. I NEVER use salt and pepper because if food is cooked correctly you don't need it. This needed lots of salt and pepper. The only plus I can find for this restaurant was the waiter. He was courteous, professional and very accommodating. You can't give less than 1 star to a restaurant. If I could I would give this establishment minus 5 stars.

I have, or had, a Canon Printer MG2520 that I have used for 5 years now. It recently quit working and when I looked up the error code it said the Ink Absorber was full. I went on line to find a way to fix it. It was there that I found out, you can fix it by taking the printer apart and squeezing out the Ink Absorber. Or send it in for repair, which costs twice as much as the printer did. I also saw reviews that said Canon Printers are purposefully made this way so that you have to buy a new printer every few years or so. What a devious way to get people to scrap a perfectly good printer and sell them a new one. I just bought a competitors all in one printer and will NEVER buy another Canon product. I hate underhanded deceit!

Previously I had written a highly critical review of another Cracker Barrel that I will never go to again. I recently went to the Cracker Barrel at 2151 54th Ave N, St Petersburg, FL *******. It was an amazing experience. The food was cooked to perfections, the waitress was friendly and pleasant and the restaurant was clean. I enjoyed that experience so much that I will return to this Cracker Barrel.

As you can see from previous jabs, I have bought rainbow trees from several sources. The source I normally use has not had any rainbow trees since before February 1st, my last order. I cancelled that order after 5 months. I found Snyder and Sons on Amazon and took a chance in ordering 2 rainbow trees to replace the two ripped from the ground during Irma. What an impressive company! The trees arrived within a week in tough boxes, individually together. Each box is configured so that the plant is held securely in place and can not move around. Each seedling was packed in pot, the pot cover in a tight fitting plastic bag. On the top of the soil was wadded up paper towels and news paper to keep moisture in the pot. And a stake in the center of the pot to hold the seedling upright and damage free. The plants were in perfect shape, moist and VERY green. Hats off to Snyder and Sons Nursery. You are now my go to nursery for plants. (I do buy a lot of plants.) If I could give you 10 stars, I would.

I had eagerly anticipated going to Lotus Vegan for a while, being a vegetarian for more than 30 years. I visited last week and was shown to a dirty table although there were clean tables available. I had to ask and remind the waitress to clean the table. The chairs at the table are so petite that when I bent over, the chair tilted over. The food was delivered fast, I mean really fast. If was from the freezer (pre-made) to the deep fat fryer and to the table in less than 10 minutes. Very greasy. White rice came with the meal, but if I wanted brown rice I had to pay $1 extra. That's nonsense. Cold, sweet, black tea had to be made individually made so I settled for a can of ginger ale. It was a 12 oz can from Costco. I paid around $2.50 for it. The restaurant can not have paid more than 35 cents for it. Over all a disappointing dining experience and I felt I was being over charged for what I was getting.

In January I bought a modern, trendy table light for my best friends, a couple. The light is called the Levia Design Lamp by Rigalshop. It was at a reduced price. I received an email from Rigal confirming the order and telling me the lamp was on it's way. After a month I emailed them again and asked them where the light was. I had not received it. I emailed them again this morning. And am still waiting for a response. This company apparently does not respond to their emails and has terrible customer service. I really wanted that light, but it now looks like I'm going to have to get my bank involved and get my money refunded. I asked them to respond by Friday the 13th of March.

I have been to the First Watch Restaurant on Bay Pines Blvd several times and am always impressed. The food is wholesome, delicious, fairly priced. The wait staff is superb. I've been a vegetarian for more than 30 years and can always find selections that I enjoy. I have never had a bad meal. And, there is outdoor seating. I will continue to go back.

I ordered a ChopBox smart cutting board on February 1st and when I went to track it from the carrier, that carrier said no such shipment existed. I then contacted Mr. Brown with ChopBox who said they had told me the wrong carrier and gave the correct carrier. I then logged in with that carrier and they indicated movement in the shipment. I just went on line again to check on the shipment and am told it was delivered in New York City. I live in Seminole, Fl.! I just sent two emails to Mr. Brown asking when they would correct this and get my ChopBox smart cutting board to me. It was a birthday gift that was 2 weeks ago! Additionally, on their web site it indicates there is 24 hour support. There is not! Nowhere is there a telephone number to contact. Everything has to be done by email. Poor performance from this company. I will not be buying from them again. Update: 13 Mach 2020. I did a little checking on Chop Box. They have a web site they created to look as if it's a separate company selling the ChopBox. No telephone number to call! And one other company is selling the Chopping Board, but is "out of stock". I imagine they have never had any stock. All a scam. And Mr Gadget review the ChopBox. I sent his comments and questions and asked him if he actually had one in his hands to review or was he just going with the advertising hype that ChopBox has put out? No response. ChopBox has done well! They have scammed investors out of millions of dollars on Kick Starter. Somewhere there is a group of people sitting around laughing at their investors and customers, while they count the money they ripped off.

I have been looking for a job and signed up to several web sites that offer help with finding jobs. I received an email from Employment Garden listing several jobs. I never signed up for this web site and when I tried to unsubscribe, the unsubscribe page cuts off contact. That makes it impossible to not continue getting their emails. Seems like a shady company that won't allow people to unsubscribe. And, how did they get my email address anyway?

Ordered a 3 pack off variegated Bougainvillea plants. Although the price was a little high, the plants were packed well for shipping and got here in excellent condition. They have a nice web-site and offer a huge variety of garden plants.

Tried to order a set of 3 different bougainvillea plants but PayPal would not go through. I closed the website and the next day, Mr. John Talbott contacted me personally and apologized for the PayPal problem and I ordered through him with my credit card. Because of the problem, he gave me the same deal at 25% less than the online order. The plants arrived packed very well and in good condition. Top of the line customer service.

Being a vegetarian, it is difficult to find a upper rung restaurant that doesn't charge a high price or offer cutsey vegan dishes. I love Green Tomatoes. The food is fresh, the soup bar you could live on by itself, the bread and desert bar is fantastic. The price is good and it is all you can eat. Staff is friendly and efficient. (If nothing else, I would go for the soups! I can't make them that good!) I even wrote their headquarters asking them to open one in my section of the county. Now I live within 5 minutes of the only one in the county. Oh, and they have seniors specials that are priced ridiculously low.

Went to Cody's Steakhouse as a guest in Pinellas County FL and was impressed. When you walk in you can fill up a little bucket with peanuts in the shell. As you eat them, you throw the shells on the floor. Very rustic. Not a quite place, but not so noisy as to be uncomfortable. The food was phenomenal and inexpensive. The waitresses do not use order pads and our waitress forgot two of our items. She did get them for us. We did sit next to the bar, and one "lady" was so loud it was irritating. Once she left all the patrons in the area laughed and winked at each other. The place does stay packed. They also have an outdoor dining/seating area. (I smoke and I appreciated that.) The staff is friendly and pleasant.

WaWa is a Canadian company that invaded Florida a few years ago. Not only are they quick, efficient, extremely clean, well lit, competitive in their pricing, they also provide free air machines for tires. Everything WaWa does is rungs above American companies. Our homeland companies could learn a lot of lessons from our north of the border WaWa friends.

EverQuote advertises on-line that once you enter your automobile insurance and personal information, you will never have to do it again and they will transmit all your info to automobile insurance companies that will contact you with lower automobile insurance rates. That is a lie. I have had to repeat over and over again all my info to various companies and finally gave up. And, after checking them out on the Better Business Bureau web site, I see that they answer all their complaints with double speak. Never addressing the issue of false advertising. I did file a complaint with the BBB.

I have been wanting a battery operated mower for a long time. But was put off by the price. I finally bought a self-propelled, battery operated mower by Ryobi. I also bought a 2nd battery as a back up. I couldn't be happier with this mower. Although it does not have the power of a gas mower, it is quiet. I don't have to buy gas or oil anymore. I push one button and it comes alive. Pull one off two levers and it's off at a speed I select with a sliding button. I use it on mulch mode and it leaves no grass clumps behind. It is lighter than a gas mower. The handle folds into the body and the mower can be stored in an upright position or hung from the wall.
The following comments are added at a much later date: I had one of the larger batteries charging in the garage unattended. I did not know it had caught fire until my room-mate told me there was smoke in the house. Searched the house and found no fire. When I opened the garage door, it was like fireworks from the 4th of July. The batter was on fire and repeatedly exploding. (It was on a fast charger.) Used three fire extinguishers to no avail. Had to finally call the fire department. They hosed it with water. It took a friend and I two days to clean the worst of the smoke damage from inside the house. Still haven't done the garage yet. It destroyed my three tier tool box and all the tools in it. In all it probably cost me, including replacing the batteries and tools, around $2000 in damage. I still like Ryobi rechargeable tools, and will continue to buy them. But now when I recharge the batter, I run a power cord out to the driveway and do the recharging there. And I use the lower power charger.
