Say What I Think

Okay I am tired of people telling me how fat I am, I know I can’t do weight loss drinks because of my fake sugar allergies. Okay let me say this Sugar is not bad if its done in moderation like everything else. Now I personally do not like splenda it makes me sick but I wouldn’t like it because of how to make it. How is it healthy for us to eat Clorine or bleach. I know I do not drink bleach from the bottle, and you have to call Poison control if someone does drink it. So why would I want to put that in my system.
Well I decided I would try Mega-T Green Tea, I am not sure if it works. It doesn’t have any fake sugars that I can find, but the first night I took it I couldn’t sleep well and only taken it once since then. I plan on taking it this weekend and seeing if i have the same results. So maybe I will blog about it. I know there is a lot of caffine in it which means I have to be careful. I have no heart problems but i know some weight lost products can be dangerous but i am not losing weight fast enough and i have to do something. The taste is pleasant enough and it did help curb my appitite which isn’t big anyways.

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.

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 drove from Eau Claire Wi. with the heating blasting out heat. Yuck, but it was that or overheating and it was about a seventy degree day so it was hot. Today is a lot cooler. It took us close to 10 hours to make it down to illinios because I was unable to drive 65 miles per hour when I was supposed to be driving it. I drove as fast as I could with out overheating the engine. It would go to really hot fan would turn on and then drop to 3/4 hot line, then fan turned off. Well this isn’t normal behavoir for my Kia. I called my uncle let him know I was having car trouble and he didn’t think I knew what I was talking about, said maybe because it was on a long trip the car was running a little differently. Okay that could make since this is the longest trip since owning the car. So we decided to leave the heater off and see what happens well I started overheating and it didn’t want to go down on its own, so I turned on the heat and it went down. So we had the stupid heater on full blast all the way to Illinios Thank G-d we did not overheat with the heater on. I need a good insurance quotes for repairs not for the car. Midas was open and was able to work on the car.
As far as I can tell they did a great job, I will post after I get home on Monday night or Tuesday. I can say I spent less money here then I would have where I came from. So I am not unhappy, but probably should have told my uncle I needed the car in and got his mechanic number.

The other day at Target I decided to try something new to get raid of the cat hair on the bedding and other places he likes to lay. I’ve tried other products that have not been successful and are not easy to use. So I figured it would be worth a try, like some people feel anti wrinkle treatments are worth a try when they are aging.
It yellow, and has little spikythings its some kind of cloth It works nicely.
It did work nicely to clean the fur of the bedding and other stuff. It also kind of gave one of my chairs the look of being vacuumed. It looked a lot better so I can’t complain. I think it was also worth the money to get this, I was able to peel of the hair and use it again a couple of times. Now I know soon I will have to toss it but the box came with 5 refills.

On Saturday night we got my new Ipod touch, hubby wanted to buy me a Ipod but had to save for it for a little while. He got the nano, which is nice, but I really wanted the touch. So hubby and I agreed I would pay for the difference which is fair. He got himself the nano, so it nice of him to offer to get the same thing for me and if i want something different then it could be me who pays for it.
So We got my Ipod touch at Wal-mart, and their replacement plan, which is good. So we got the Ipod home and I put it on the computer to charge wow it takes a long time for this little battery to charge up from nothing, but it does play a long time after being charged. I had it on all day Tuesday and played with it a lot Sunday. I decided to download 1 game, and 1 map thing, and the rest songs.
The frustrating thing about it when you want to sync it to the computer it doesn’t have a click here to sync. It took me a while to figure it out and I got frustrated with it. I deleted my play list once, and had my list doubled once. So I got a little annoyed then I couldn’t figure out how to add songs to my list. Yeah that was a lot of frustration. Homesharing had us ticked off.
Well I love my ipod touch it’s great, plays loud enough when it not with earphones, and battery lasts a long time. We ended up going to Apple store in Edina, and talked to them. They do appointment only but squeezed us in. Which was nice of them. They got our answers to the question and homesharing actually wasn’t a nightmare like we thought it might be. Hubby had to sign my account into his computer, and keep it with homesharing, and I had to sign his account into the computer, and okay it then sign out and then put his account in homesharing. So know we are sharing music, which is nice because he had several songs or albums i wanted.

My Toshiba laptop has been running so hot lately that its burned me a few times, and now I got a ugly red patch on the top of one of my legs. It not blistered thank goodness because I would bring it in, to Toshiba with my poor legs, and show them, this is running way to hot for safety. My computer has always ran a little on the hot side during the summer doing homework was unpleasant because it makes you feel hot having something hot in your lap.
So I decided to go to newegg.com, goodness I love that site, next on my list is Window7, Visita crashed my poor laptop to many times with the updates it keeps trying to give me, so I am annoyed.
Now with the new cool I think my lap top needs some quick weight loss because it has made it heavy, but I rather that then the other. I love this little cooler, it the same size as mine, it for computer 12 to 17 inches, and it turns around too, so I don’t have to pick it up if I put the laptop on the table and want to show dad or hubby something I can just set it up and turn the computer, no picking up required.
It also adjusts the fan in 5 setting counting when it on the flat setting. The fan is protected so it can’t get a bunch of cat hair from the pants or what have you. I can lay it on the floor and not worry if it hasn’t been vacuumed because between the fan and floor there a barrier.
I am very happy with this product. It takes a lot to keep me happy, I’ve had it for a week. So I will see how long it actually lasts. By the way no matter what I do about the cat hair, I think shaving the cat bowled is the only way to solve the cat hair problem, he sheds on command.

Recently I got Walgreens Saline Nasal spray, because I had some allergy problems and wanted to try to deal with it before using something stronger. I remember the days I used to do inventory and needing to use barcode scanner those where always harder on small items like nasal sprays. Well back to the spray, it worked pretty good for my allergies and helping clear some of the stuff out, but now with my cold it is not helping as much. Maybe this is good for allergies because it helps flush it out of your nose, and helps with the dryness that some of the allergy meds give, but it not doing it job as far as with my cold.

I wish when I was in high school I could have done a LSAT prep courses for my SATs some how I managed not to do prep courses at my high school. I wonder if I would have preformed better. This company has prep courses for several different things, like GMAT, LSAT, SAT, they also have Knewton, and customer service option for perspective customers. Sadly I can’t use this now because I am already done with college, but to bad I didn’t find it sooner.
