Say What I Think

Newegg is a great place to get computer stuff and other things electronic but I don’t think you will ever see boots. I have used newegg now for a while and I really like it. One thing I do not like is that its hard to get questions answered and you almost have to do a lot of research on a product before getting it. It simple and I have always received my product in a timely manner. This time I order Window7 and I wish I would have not taken my husband word for it. I swear sometimes he acts like a knowitall and knows not enough. I love my husband but I wish I would have talked again to someone else to make sure I got it right. It would have saved me a good 7 1/2 hours. Oh well can’t change the fact now.
I ordered 2 upgrade on w7 I will write about it more when I used my laptop more. So far there is a couple things I do not like but i haven’t looked at it good yet and I need to do that.
Newegg normally has good deals from computer builders and I order enough to qualify sometimes this time I didn’t but oh well.

I go to Lunds to get my beef because I know what is safe. We have one in Bloomington MN near where I live. I have recently added beef into my diet, and sometimes when you add new foods in your diet you don’t have a clue about it. Other then if its cooked wrong it can taste bad or make you sick, if its cooked right it tastes great, and you want more then you aught. It similar to understanding prevera and what it does if you understand what your working with or what it good for you can use it effectively.
Well I went up to the butcher and I asked him what is the different between a flank stake and some other type of stake they both looked similar to me and I simply couldn’t tell the difference just by looking at the stupid pieces of meat. He explained the difference and told me that the flank stake is good for sterfry. Well that gave me a idea and boy does it smell good now if it tastes this good as a bbq sandwhich well have something yummy tonight.
The butcher was helpful in showing me the difference of the 2 meats and was kind about answering stupid question. I am pretty sure they must think I am dumb but I know nothing tastes worst then food cooked poorly. Thankfully many ideas I come up with work nicely. I think the bbq sauce I picked might be spicy and thinking about dinner hubby running late.
I will probably always get my meat from Lunds because I know I can trust them.

This weekend my husband and I went on our date night to Milano in Bloomington the one by Cubfoods on 84th St I want to say Its on Lyndale avenue. We wanted to try something new and that was something new for us. It an Italian restaurant, it a place where you don’t need the best weight loss supplement if you order wisely. They had a good menu, and where able to deal with my allergies, which is good. Lets see it a nice place, fairly expensive but they do have some things in the middle of the road for price if you order right.
Hubby and I had a BBQ chicken pizza and some bread stuff with olive and tomatoes.. Can’t think of the name. The BBQ chicken pizza was a lot more spicer then I expected because they put some hot peppers on it which wasn’t expected but overall the pizza was good. I didn’t like the hot peppers but they were easily peeled off, next time I will just have to ask not to have them.
The food was good and the waitstaff was great too.

Last weekend we went to Avalon twice with my granny it’s her favorite restaurant. Well we have been there often. I can not remember the last time they changed their decor. Now it’s not bad its still neat and well kept, so it’s not that big of a deal. I just hate the color of the chairs but that me personally. Avalon I would say it similar to how Dennys once was they have a bar at the front where you can order your food or you can be seated somewhere.
The wait staff all treat granny very well and she has her favorites. I petty the wait safe who get her and don’t know her, because granny has forgotten a new waitstaff might not know what she wants and may not ask her because they do not know she don’t like the veggies of the day. The owners know my granny well, and they treat her well. I have to say I was a little annoyed with one waitress, when she said my uncle should be living on his own and not with mom. Clearly she doesn’t see my uncle is delayed and can’t take care of his self and had it not been for granny having him live with her, he’d be in a home. She clearly doesnt see my granny is not doing well mentally or physically so with out my uncle living their nor would she be able to be on her own.. She can’t drive and hell she having a hard time getting her self dress. So that kindof bug me but the waitress was a sweet heart to and I am sure she meant no harm. She likes my granny and uncle and treats them well..
The portions were huge, my goodness you could have at least 2 meals if not three meals from there just on left overs. The food was served nice and hot, and tasted good. It is best here as a couple to share a meal. Dad had french toast, and even his meal was nice side but more of a single serving. Granny had shrimp platter my uncle had beef I can’t remember.. Normally granny makes him share what she wants to have, but I told her he gets to order what he wants, when I am down here. and then they could eat the left overs later form her. I wonder if Avalon would be found in Atlanta job search. The second day we went i ordered a fruit platter with Fruit hubby order soup. The fruit platter was the best fruit platter I have had for a restaurant. The cottage cheese tasted a little off.
Overall the experience was okay.. They took good care of Granny and know my granny and took time to know me and my family…Granny used to take me and my uncle there when I lived with them. We used to go often, and they still go there often. I am glad they are still in business. I wonder what their large portions are doing to their budget.

Wow I can not believe the battery lasted over 10 hours. With the heat in the car the ipod made things a little more manageable . I guess we do not need anyweight loss supplements we probably sweet out a few pounds easily. The great thing about the ipod is the long life of the battery. It charges through the computer easily. It is able to play in the car with accessories and those accessories seem easier to store then the accessory of the older cd players.
The down side of the Ipod is on the maps it gives you highway routes and doesn’t let u ask for a alt route unless I just haven’t figured it out. In Illinois it best to stay off of the toll roads when you can or you spend lots of money. I lived her once and never liked paying tolls.. So the easy of maps are to be desired but I still have lots to learn.
What i like about the ipod are the maps because it can be done in high breed or satillite it finds your location for you or close enough. It has a alarm clock, and plays music a long time. I like that it is very easy to connect to the internet, and that it does not take long at all to do that. So far I have really enjoyed having my ipod and I hope I get many many months of enjoyment from it.

Am I still happy with my Kia Rio Cinco car. Yes I am eventhough the thermostat decided it didn’t want to work properly. Okay sometimes car beak down its bond to happen. I do have to admit at one point in time I think we all where going to need to get some hair loss shampoo because it was so uncomfortable and I was about ready to pull my hair out with frustration. I was told last night Kias are not good cars, but I didn’t really take their perspective on it because this was the first time I had trouble with my car. I have had the car since November and have had cars which by know where in the shop at least 2 times, not this little car. Other then a Oil change this is the first time I needed the car in the shop.
The good thing about the car is even with the car running way hotter then it likes to, and having the heat blasting the gas mileage was still good. I got over 260 miles and only had to put in just over 8 gallons of gas so that not terrible not as good as the car does normally but hey it had its heat on full blast on a 70 degree day.. I am surprise it didn’t receive more damage from me driving to Illinois when the thermostat had crapped out on me. I am not sure why this car did that after just having it for a little while, but sometimes it happens.
I got my car back from the mechanic, after it was fixed. He called me before doing the work. The worst thing is when you are away from home and do not have your car. It one of the yickiest feelings I have dealt with coming home to visit. I was worried I would have to wait till monday but it was a fast fix. While one the phone with the mechanic he said we checked the car over and its a great car the only problem we found was the thermostat. Now I am not sure but it seemed that they didn’t charge me as much as they could have grant it the part was cheaper then the labor. But the labor was not long neither, the car must be fairly easy to work on for it to be completed this quickly. When I got back to get my car, the temp gage stayed in the normal range like when I first got it. I asked him if he gets many kias in with this problem and he didn’t have anything bad to say about the car. It makes me feel good to hear 2 mechanics tell me I got a good car.
I like my car a lot, honestly I was hoping that I was just being over concerned because of all my breakdowns in the past. So I will still get another Kia if given the option. I am very happy with the car even though it had troubles.. I guess you just have to be prepared for troubles.

My hubby and I watched a movie tonight when we got back, it was Good Intentions. I will have to say I didn’t pay a whole lot attention to it. I thought it was pretty good. The language wasn’t to harsh and it had a okay plot. The guys wife kept deciding to rob her husband or something. I do not know many woman who would keep robbing the same person but you know some criminals are dumb as door nails.
It must not have been entertaining enough since I don’t recall a whole lot about it. Oh well.. I was doing other things while watching it. I think it seemed like a good movie if I wasn’t looking for the best weight loss diet pills on market for some one. My husband seemed to enjoy it, so I guess thats what really counts, if he likes it.

On our way down we had to stop at BP travel plaza on 94 outside of Madison. Normally I will not stop at BP because I have gotten bad gas once from there, and had to deal with a big miss of water in the gas tank. So it been a long time. Last time I filled up at a BP station I didn’t even make it to the halfway point when I found out something was seriously wrong with the car. I couldn’t figure it out and when I brought it in i found out what was wrong. I was not a happy camper since my tank was on E when I filled it up with gas. So I decided to not go unless I have to, and Friday it was more of a thing of we need beverages and I need gas so I need to stop and don’t want to look for the other gas station off the exit. Let me tell you I hope to never repeat a long road trip with the therostate not working correctly, it was not pleasant at all.
It was so hot that no one would be able to fall a sleep in the car, I am not sure which was worst the heat in the car or the rain coming into the window. We had to keep the windows down to keep the heat from getting overpowering. I guess if there was a www.sleepingpillreviews.org for the car with the hottest heat this would win.
We got some nice beverages from the BP and we where able to find what we needed, and use the bathrooms. The woman bathroom where clean and didn’t smell like the typical gas station that has a bad smell even though it a woman’s bathroom. It was at least clean and didn’t smell overly bad. I was surprised I didn’t have to go in and pay after dark it was nice many stations up in the cities make you go inside or pay at the pump and I really just wanted to do it as one transaction not two at the stations. I was happy the station let me do it the easy way.
I was overall happy with the customer service now hopefully nothing goes wrong with the gas. BP seems to be always higher in price then other gas stations.

We stop for dinner last night at Great Wall Buffet. This was such a better experience then that one restaurant we went to a couple weeks ago. We normally pick the raw bar, it has always been very nice there. Everytime hubby and I go there we always leave feeling good about our experience there. I think the waiters are there just enough to be helpful and not to be annoying which can be a hard balance to work out. The cook at the raw bar does a great job at making sure everyone meat is fully cooked and tastes good.. I was impressed with how careful he was to make sure any frozen pieces of meat were fully cooked and if any stucked together that it was separated to cook it.
I had chicken, and veggies, then some of their sauces I love that I can pick which sauce I want and not have to have soy cooked in unless I want it to be. I mixed their garlic and something else can’t remember which it was, I didn’t put enough of the garlic sauce on. I like the fact they let you choose how much of certain ingredients you want to put into it.. It makes them cooking the meal closer to what the guest would like and not what they think is right. I will say this is my favorite Chinese restaurant. Hubby had beef and also noticed how careful the guy was to cook the meat fully.
I forgot to ask the cook to clean his circle grill and ended up breaking out again from food allergies. Wow talk about uncomfortable but that was my fault. I might need to look into acne scar creams for my legs and see if it works on some of my scars form a rash that I scratched a little to much. I took the my allergies meds and was fine. Sometimes my allergies to pork products just make me break out badly and sometimes it breaks me out in horrible itchy rash.. It could also be that I been eating way to much wheat products for my system to deal with.
Dad did not want to leave the restaurant I think this is his favorite place to stop at when we travel to Illinois. The price is also reasonable to feed a family of 3 adults.

Yes I guess I am writing alot about Ill. Since I am here why not. It seems that their inventory from the last time we were here has changed and decreased. It wasn’t a bad experience just a little disappointing because last time we went there we found some different beverages then your average gas station carries. We needed a few beverages and I wanted some candy. When I travel I have to have my candy. They didn’t have anything for outdoor rugs which they didn’t last time to no shock there. We found the average drinks. It seems the economy has made it hard for companies to keep products on the shelf that do not sale as well as other products. I can understand this because if it not selling they are not making any money.
We got to the check out line and I spent more on snacks for dad, hubby and I then I did on gas the last time I filled up. I hope my gas holds for a little longer because I do not want to fill up here if I can avoid it. It more expensive then across the board to the other state. Well I will probably fill up where ever I need to. Maybe my gas mileage on the way back home will be better then on the way down. Since the car was having trouble. The cashier did a okay job, nothing that really stood out as really standing out. He check us out and did a good job at it. Once we were ready to check out, it went quickly.
