About Me

I was 15, a young buck on my own plantation about 37 million years ago. Things were different back than. Our star went supernova in what you call M37, our home Snowball was similar to your own.

How I Can Help

I can only help you with 3 questions 1. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop. 2. Why knowing what we know and still eat a hotdog. 3. How to spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Interests

Cream colored ponies, crisp apple strudels, door bells, sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles

You just bought a bag of high quality vanilla beans, now what? This is a great site on how to make high quality vanilla bean extract, paste and sugar. Remember if you want to make it a Christmas gift it takes 3 to 6 months for the full flavor of extract to form which means you need to start soon. Also don't go cheap on the Vodka buy Smirnoff or better. I followed this recipe to the letter and was very pleased! Amazon.com using a vendor called Vanilla Products USA had great results from the beans.

I just wanted to buy some peanut brittle for my Dad for fathers day. He loves the brittle from see's candy and it includes a personalized message of up to 120 characters. Which saves me from writing a card. I just wanted to give these guys a thumbs up for reliability and getting things there on time even though shipping is not free. I've ordered on 3 separate occasions with no problems. They gave me order confirmation, tracking and when it was shipped via e-mail.

Looks like a discount website from Newegg.com. Bought a stop sign thing for the garage. I was very cautious because of the low price, its brand new and no one else had reviewed it here beforehand. Felt a little bit better after I was able to log in with my Newegg account and it had all my personal information so it was a legit site from Newegg. I got free shipping and no tax here in N. V. They gave me order confirmation, tracking and when it was shipped via e-mail.

Great coffee choices of blended and single origin. They roast the same day they ship so it is very fresh! Very reasonable shipping in the U.S. if you choose FEDEX ground $6. Also choose type of grind or whole bean. Have not been disappointed yet. Web site reminds me of Art of Tea. Com except its mostly coffee maybe they copied them?

I was looking to make some Valentine editing for my photos. I came across this recommendation from Bob J. Its not Photoshop but it has an amazing amount of the most important tools and is very easy to use. It all works so amazingly well that I was waiting for the catch where it asks me for a credit card number but it doesn't. I was able to edit and save photos on my hard disk. Its Express and Advanced versions are all just a click away. The best part is that it is free and all works within your browser so there is no downloading. This baby is a keeper!

I bought some large stainless pans and a manual turn yourself popcorn thing here. All arrived in about a week without any broken glass lids. Excellent quality here is why I gave 5stars. Nice selection of cooking stuff. No overcharges on the credit card, and they emailed me a coupon for free shipping on my next order.

  • The Captain's Coffee

I've always been a bit curious about roasting my own coffee beans. I finally decided to take the plunge last week. This site assisted me greatly and educated me on ordering and roasting my own beans. It has a learning center tab that educates you on what, when, where and why's on green coffee beans.
Of course they make money on selling raw coffee beans and equipment for roasting and brewing. There is plenty of free information to be learned here too. I must say I really just got into it to see for myself if it could be done and if it really makes a superior cup of coffee. I ordered 4 different beans...

1 Ecuador Palanda APECAP Organic Fair Trade EAPECAP
1 Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Negele Gorbitu Organic Fair Trade EY1
1 Flores Bajawa Ngura Organic FBN
1 Sumatra Mandheling Bies Utama GR1 TP OFT SM

I also tried ordering some Costa Rican and Hawaiian but they were out of stock. I got the beans in 3 days (priority mail). No errors on the credit card charges. I also got a hand written thank you letter from them. WOW that's rare and it made me feel all warm inside like the time I ate a half pound bag of peanut m&m's. They have coffee from all over the world and they only sell Arabica beans which is what I expected. Not a Busta bean in sight!

Read on to see my personal fling with roasting...

They included a free sample bag of coffee that I didn't order which I used first for practice. It was a medium-dark roast type of bean so I roasted it for about 11 to 12 minutes and it came out like Peet's dark roast coffee to me. Next I tried the Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Negele Gorbitu which I did in 6 minutes which was not long enough and tasted way to fruity and less like coffee. I ended up throwing it in the trash. I tried again for 9 minutes and it came out really smooth. They recommended waiting a day after roasting so I did. I have not tried the other beans yet. After this experience I can really appreciate my cup of Joe after roasting, chaffing, grinding and brewing my own beans. All I can say now is been there done that. I will come back to this review in a month or so when I perfect my coffee roasting temps and times. I will edit it and tell you what I think is the perfect cup.

One thing I like about this site is the vast amount of products available. They sell everything. I was able to order some sheet music from a specific author and BAM!. I should order more stuff from here more often. The price was retail price though but that's because its sheet music and very hard to find locally. Supply and demand at work. I was looking at burr grinders for a new coffee machine and found some good prices so I might order one of those. I can't believe I waited so long to order from this site. I guess I am just a bit weary of new places to shop.

I love this site because it gives me access to high quality commercial equipment at reasonable costs. I wanted to get a coffee maker that had no after taste from plastic, like the nice ones I see at the Circle K. I was looking for a coffee maker that was stainless steel inside and out and found it here. I got tired of buying mediocre coffee brewers every year. I ordered a Zojirushi Thermal Carafe, Curtis Pourover Coffee Brewer and filters. It did not cost me much more than what a high quality keurig system would cost. Shipping took a little longer for the Curtis Pourover Coffee Brewer because they noted this item is not stocked in their warehouse and ships from the manufacturer directly. Luckily I noticed the disclaimer on the details page so I knew it would take longer. Easy to pay and check out and fast shipping via fedex IF item is stocked in their warehouse. Otherwise takes longer.
I also was considering a commercial microwave from here but they do not have turntables in them, weird? I decided to refrain on that idea, but the meat grinder section looks interesting. Oh well, I guess I got a lot of browsing to do.

P.S. I noticed on the filter page they don't necessarily show the same filter pictured, matter of fact they used the same picture on almost every filter type. Make sure you read the fine print or google the item model number to get accurate picture of what you are buying! The picture of the brewer and carafe was accurate.

If you feel there is something wrong or unusual with your body and you feel embarrassed by it, check this site out. They have lots of pictures, videos and informative data on "embarrassing things". No stone is left unturned on this site so the pictures and videos are very graphic. NOT FOR KIDS TO SEE! There are full videos on the corrective operations themselves. There are several apps for your phone to help monitor your health. You can type in your conditions on your illness and it will search all related illnesses. Also search by body part and click on the avatars to show vicinity. Also search by symptoms and it gives a huge list to choose from alphabetically. Great free site with no advertisements. Also you don't have to sign up and in or give out your e-mail etc etc...

I like to check the reviews and stars on this site before buying a new Blu-ray. I don't usually go to the movies (no animals allowed) so I would like to get some idea before I buy..

A very excellent retro space exploration game. Absolutely free and many mods available. I played this as a young buck in the 90's. Great story line and large areas to explore. I loved this game so much I downloaded and got the map printed at Costco in poster size.

If you have an android phone like me. You will love browsing at all the newest updates and programs on this site. Just found out from these guys that Netflix 3.0 is available for download which was badly needed for the android platform. You can get the upgrade right from the link on the review page. Tons of other stuff is available from these guys, enjoy.

  • Hardware.info

11/12/13

Great in depth reviews of electronics and computers. I specifically like this site because they are the only ones that took the new Samsung 840 EVO SSD and ran writes on it 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week to see if there was any worry with endurance issues with the new TLC NAND chips. I really wanted to see how long it would hold up for because I was in the market for one and held some reservations on TLC NAND. They kept on going on two separate drives until the drives finally died and tallied up the writes. Thanks for the great real world tests on new SSD's Hardware.info! Now I know I don't have to worry about TLC!

Great site for getting high res pictures free and no registration needed for downloads. Has every picture in many resolutions whether it be apple retina, ultra hd, 1080p, etc etc, just click on the resolution you want FIRST and then download or preview.

  • HalloweenAndCostumes

10/24/13

I have been ordering costumes from here for 5 or 6 years now. Have not had any issues, not the cheapest place to buy (you get what you pay for) but they have an excellent selection. They also gets loads of new costumes and accessories all the time. The best time to order for Halloween is in September because everyone else orders in October. I think the store use to be called Michele's House of Style and they are still shipping from the South Carolina address. Make sure you look at the sizing chart at the bottom of the web page so you don't waste time. Also certain items are non-refundable so make sure you look at the return policy. Shipping is free in the continental U.S. NOT Alaska or Hawaii. They aren't open on weekends so don't call then and if you order Friday night they won't start to process until at least Monday.

Contact info... *******@halloweenandcostumes.com

They operate mon - fri 9am 5pm eastern time phone - *******414.

A free and very useful tool to find registered sex offenders in all 50 states and U.S. territories. Either type in the name in question or a zip code to show all registered in that area. One the list pops up you can click on the name to get pictures of the person home address and employer information.

  • Versus

10/22/13

Another interesting site that lets you compare one device to another. Lets say you are in a market for a new phone. You are trying to decide between a galaxy s4 and the iphone 5s and 5c. Just type in the keywords galaxy s4 in one box and iphone 5s in the other box and BAM. The comparison is completely unbiased unlike many other sites, since it is computer generated.
