Baby Gifts

Gav — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 04:25:56 +0000

I do not have many friends with babies on the way however right now if I did the only way I would be able to get a gift would be baby gifts online. For the most I prefer looking at what I am getting this being said if online is cheaper I just might get it online after looking at it in a store. I know a few woman expecting but none of them I know well enough. When I worked with autistic children I loved looking at baby gifts because sometimes these gift would work great in the class room setting.

Racha Thai & Asian Kitchen in Happy Valley Oregon

To many Options, Yes me as a gluten-free person is saying to many options for me. The more option I get the harder it is for me to pick what I want to eat. Most places I only get 2 to 4 options. I will say I like all my options, and I thought it was great, I had options in every single category. I did the Royal Sweet and Sour Chicken dish, and my husband id the Garlic Delight Beef. One word Yummy! The good was served hot, and well prepared. I will have to say the sweet and sour which I have always loved was the best sweet and sour. They didn’t bread the chicken, it was nicely grilled chicken. It had a nice texture to it wasn’t over done or under done, it was just right and tasted good. My husband dish was good to i tried a bite and it was nice. Maybe next time i will get the garlic chicken. The nice thing here is when I come in I will know my menu options are good. Just as good as finding a best buy boxing day sales in Canada.
They are about the same price as most restaurants near me. Their staff was friendly and it was a pleasant place to eat.

Getting ready to move

Gav — Sun, 29 May 2011 01:20:17 +0000

We have about 3 months left in our apartment, and then we start moving out west. I will need to look for some coupons which will help with the coast of living I found a nice little site for coupons, I will need to save the link to my favorites. I can get coupons for hotels or other things which I will need to the move over there. I do not always use coupons when shopping but I have started using them more, I used to use them a lot but stop. I am not sure why I stopped but I need to start it back up especially when it will save me some money.
The site has coupons on clothes, electronics and other things which people use in their daily lives. Maybe before I purchase another cellphone I will see if they have any coupons which would work for me.

Chipotle at Mall of America

Gav — Sun, 01 May 2011 01:47:09 +0000

I am starting to dislike this location. I like the food there but it seems I almost have to yellow at them for them to hear me. It is so nosy in there so I can’t hardly blame them for not understanding me right. I am allergic to pork, so to make sure they do not give me it, I ask for the veg beans. Tonight they where insistent I wanted veg bowl, nope I wanted their shredded beef. I mean its not like I use words that a lawyer tucson would use I use simple words.
By the time we got our meal right which my husband helps confuse people I believe. The girl ahead of us had a something and they where trying to get hers done but hubby thought it they was working on mine. Sometimes I think he needs to hush up and let them deal with one person at a time might have not had so many confusions tonight.
The food tasted okay.

Another experience with Newegg

Gav — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 03:49:04 +0000

I recently built my own computer, I had help building it. I bought everything from Newegg, I am happy with them. I ordered the motherboard, which was a bugger to get working, because we had a couple of the prongs on the back of the mother boards bent wrong. Once that was fix it worked wonderfully. They shipped my order in three parts and I asked for 3 day mail. I figured I would get all my stuff either Wednesday or Thursday because I know they have great dedicated hosting and normally get everything to the client right on time or early. However I did have problems with my brand new monitor coming on time. I do not blame newegg for this but UPS because they shipped it to Illinois. I have had this issue twice with ordering monitors from Newegg and it is frustrating. I finally received my monitor on Monday late evening. I was glad it came when it did because I wanted to work on my homework and set the computer up before my assignments where due.
I did email Newegg about the monitor not being here on time and told them I knew where it was at but I was not receiving it on time. The solution to the problem was to refund my shipping charge, I didn’t want them to do this, but I appreciated the thought and the effort to make things right.
The combo packed they suggested worked well, and I was able to take advantage of their system builder bargain on the software I purchases. I feel the money I spent for my new computer was well worth the expense and will build my own computer again when it comes time. I am happy with them and I know I will continue buying my computer products from them.

Order from Amazon

Gav — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 14:51:08 +0000

Well I think I have ordered enough from Amazon now to write about it. The first product I ever ordered from them was my Kindle, I was impressed with how timely I gotten my Kindle. I got it before I finish my books at home, thinking those books would run out before they got the Kindle restocked. I have ordered books for my Kindle on amazon and dad some hearing enhancement productions. I have started school again and had to order 3 books for school. My books came up to over 150$ combined expense. Ouch…. But then again some diet pills people take probably cost about the same for a 4 month supply which i believe my classes are 3 to 4 months. On Amazon I have the option to purchase my textbooks new or gently used, which in the end saves me money. One of my books I got a New paper back, even though I asked for a used book, but maybe they sold out or I hit new which I do not mind it was not that expensive anyways. At my college I would have spent over 100$ on the textbook at Amazon it was 78$, so this is a good savings. I got my first book yesterday, for my class when they told me it could take up to 2 weeks to arrive. My other 2 books are on the way here.
I have not had any trouble with my credit card information not being safe, I have not had any troubles with my account being over charged. Before Amazon I have ordered on line and got cure from it when my credit card information got used. As far as I know my husband hasn’t had trouble with Amazon. I believe Amazon is fairly safe and they do what they promise.
I will always look for the best prices for my textbooks. I am a graduate student, so these books can get very costly. I had a friend tell me for one of her Graduate classes she spent 500$ on books alone, I think i will cry if that happens. So overall I am very happy with Amazon.

TV show Glee

Gav — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 14:17:06 +0000

Wow, I am disappointed in the actors and actresses. I am not one who stays up to date on media gossip, if I like a show I like it. I have been watching Glee for a long time and always have felt that some of the content was a little more mature then high school kids, but at the same time I have worked with high school kids realize that they do things like adults sometimes. I think the show for the most has done good at showing how life can be in high school to a point but I think some of the situation aren’t really high school related. The last couple of season has been very sexy, and some of their artist they have chosen artist which all their songs are sex base. I do not blame the show for it, I blame ourselves for it. If you listen to the radio Glee is no different.
So what is my problem, today on the news they showed some pictures. I am sorry but I would call it close to soft porn and no one who portraying a high school student should be doing pictures like these. This is sending a message to high school students that unless you look like this, or act like this you are not good enough. What’s done is done and can’t be taken back.
Will I continue to watch Glee? Yes, but that doesn’t mean I am always happy with them. I also know what I watch doesn’t make Hollywood decide to what shows are good by me deciding not to watch something or not. I think they made a bad decision here. Yes sex sells but shouldn’t we be teaching our young people to learn from the mistakes of others. I am glad when the head cheerleader for pregnant her consequences where similar to those in real life. I am glad they did this because it might help some relate to people in that situation. I am pretty sure the kids on Glee will never need the best acne treatments like some high school students. Glee should add a few ugly ducks to the cast.

Bloomington MN Wal-Mart

Gav — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 01:06:44 +0000

Let me begin by saying I hope someone from Wal-Mart finds my blog. I will say I think Wal-Mart is a good place but I have been disappointed lately with their selection. They no longer carry my cat food, okay fine I can get it easily. This morning I went in for Donuts, cookies and Safety pins for my skirt. I was told, I could find safety pins in fabrics, not there. Then I was told maybe they do not carry them any longer. Okay now I am annoyed because I need something and can not find it. I do not have time to run to other Wal-Marts, and never did get my safety pins. I think Wal-Mart did not plan will making certain stores super Wal-marts, some are simply too small. Now will say they have done a great job on produce and some meat selection and I appreciate that. They also have good personal care products which it was bigger so I could find acne products that work for dad. So What I would like is too see some products replace, or maybe some things put in the front like safety pins this way people can get them when they run into a pinch and need to fix a outfit quickly.

Arm & Hammer Dog poop bags.

Gav — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 19:17:58 +0000

Yep I am gonna right about dog poop. I saw them at Target and decided I would try them. I will say they are very strongly scented which is nice, now I haven’t seen a lot of advertising on my
home theater, but how would they do a commercial for smelly poop bags. I will say I prefer that smell over the dogs movements. They come in blue, and green and have writing on them. Even though they are nice I do not think they are worth the amount of money I spent on them and it seems like there less there then on the other poop bags I get but they are larger so maybe better for a large dog.

Review Shaiya

Gav — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 18:38:41 +0000

I have enjoyed this game a lot and probably played it way too much. It is not like playing xboxlive or ps3 live, it a little different and a bunch easier to communicate with other players. It seems sometimes people forget other toons are people too. The game has plenty of quest for level 1 – 20 and then not many after that, I wish they had more quest for 40 – 60 there is not enough and simply living your toon without a reason can get annoying. I like the game for the interaction with the people. I mostly have played on the light side and recently started a account on the fury side. I think lightside has it harder than the fury side. There are 4 modes easy mode which has 30 levels, which is not worth it, this is a simple game. Normal mode which you have to get to level 40 to get a hard mode toon then the ultimate toon. I can do a ultimate toon if I wanted but it very expensive. They have no such thing as
cheap life insurance for ultimate toons, you end up needing to spend money or always have a priest who can resurrect your toon. You can purchase resurrection runes form the store, but they can get expensive. At level 44 your pretty much forced into player vs. player to level your toon quickly. I have purchased some items to protect my main toon. It is technically a free game but I am sure they make a lot of money.
In both fury and light side you have a guild. Depends on the guild you might be kicked out of your not a total push over or if you disagree with things. The fury side at lvl one I already got armour I can enchant and it was at least level 10 before I got anything for enchanting on the lightside.
This game is a great waste of time.
