BaratLori says "The Whirlpool Duet Sport washer and dryer are great buys." about Whirlpool Duet - Washer Dryer

BaratLori — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 18:43:19 GMT

I was surprised at how little water they really use. Before buying these I had been lugging everything to a laundrymat. Not only do they use very little water but they do a better job than the machines at the laundrymat or my old one did. For a household of 4 with 2 dogs our water bill for 3 months went up less than $5. Our electric bill went down $20, we had been using our 15yr old dryer still. I also rarely use anything but cold water to wash anything other than whites now. With the new washer and the he detergents I don't need to. This also helpes a lot with the bills. Usually the only stain that remain are the ones I missed when I pretreated. Things from the dogs come out smelling clean and not like dogs still. With my old washer they usually had to be washed twice. ...

BaratLori says "Great heat source! " about Magnum Countryside Fireplace

I was thrilled when I found the Magnum Countryside Fireplace. I had been looking for a pellet/corn burner that hopefully wasn't real smokey. I had four requirements.

1. It couldn't be real smokey. My son and I have asthma.

2. That it burn more that just corn or pellets. The Magnum burns several biofuels.

3. It needed to be easy to light and burn.

4. Heat my whole house.

It is very easy to light and most days it takes all day to burn a 50# bag of fuel. The hopper holds one bag. Last year it cost us $4000 to heat our 2000sq ft home with propane. They tell us we will use 4-5 pallets of fuel at a cost of about $1000. Normally we would get our first fill of propane about now at approx. $1000. Instead we bought a pallet of wood pellets at $185. Big difference in cost. The first time we burned our home got up to 80 degrees before we knew it. Last year during the day we kept the temp at 62 and at night at 65. It is so nice to be warm.

BaratLori says "Don't go near it even with a 100mi internet contect!" about Pro Pay - Pro Pay

BaratLori — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 13:28:38 GMT

I paid for Pro Pay's card processing service. They were supposed to help protect me from fraud and stolen card use. Instead I got hit for several thousand. They have a lot of loop holes it their agreement that most people don't catch until it's too late. I thought I had researched them well, if only I had done a little more. In their contract they have the right to not only charge back the amounts on the stolen or fraudulent card but everything else you did that month(s). The only recourse you have is to do a rebuttal but this still doesn't mean you'll get the legit funds back. They also can freeze your account for up to 2 years, even if you have money in it. They can also do an automatic withdrawl from any checking account you have attached to their account. No they don't need your approval to do this. They just tell your bank it is to rectify a negitive balance. It's been an absolute nightmare. I was not notified until after the fact.

BaratLori says "I absolutely love the MK TimeWise Miracle set. " about Mary Kay TimeWise Skin Care

BaratLori — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 16:32:43 GMT

I can't say enough about the Mary Kay Time Wise Miracle set. My skin looks and feels better than it has in years. Not only does it come in a complete skin care set, it also comes with your choice of foundation. I've tried lots of other skin care sets(many of the ones shown on TV even). None have been such a good fit for me. One nice thing is that all of the products are made to work together. So you're not just adding more of the same thing to your skin. Another, is that the Day solution has an spf 25 so you don't have to worry if you're outside a lot. The Night solution has not only vitamins and antioxidants but, collagen enhancing peptides that help fight free radicals....

BaratLori says "For the price this is a great value!" about Essential Home Pine Bunk Beds

BaratLori — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 16:08:47 GMT

I needed to buy a bunk be quickly which ment I was on a tight budget. I really wasn't expecting much when I started my search. I was not at all surprised that I didn't find anything on ebay. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I found this bed at Kmart of all places. It is holding up well to my ruff 4 year old boy. I'm now thinking it might actually last into his teens. It was also very easy to put together....
