products that live up to their hype (2 Viewers)

today i dropped my phone down a sewer....clunk, clunk, splash! after 25 minutes of fishing with a garden rake i managed to pull it from the murky bowels of toledo and it performs as though nothing happened . my commando phone has taken every bit of punishment i've given it now for three years and continues to be the best phone i've ever had.

it's good to own a product that does what it promises.

i/we enjoy fresh flowers here at the house. the woman i met at the alter from a spray..i don't have the trademarked name since we don't have any under the kitchen sink at this time..anyway..after two days when the flowers are still not near the drooping point..just spray away and they will look fresh for about another 5-8 days depending on where you live. if in arizona,they will be full of color and fresh looking for a longer period do to the dry air..put the same vase in tampa,fla and you are looking at a shorter flower lifespan. hairspray works well after a fresh cut of flowers has witnessed a two day or 36hr period. and don't forget to talk to flowers just like you do your garden vegetables..it's all about the vibes..let your positive energy flow onto and into other things.i once saw a dead worm come back to life after he some how got into my chemical filled pool..i helped him out and put him into some very wet dirt..sure enough he wiggled his way down into the earth..probably was stoned off the pool chemicals for a few days..but..hey.

one product that i think did not live up to the hype would be the george foreman indoor grill. meat comes out way to dry from that item..if the manufacturer had someway to shift the tilt on that it might work a lot better. im all for healthy eating but if i want a beef burger..i want it 80/20 and juicy (wet burger)..the way that thing is set up..all of the grease/juice falls down into a little holder. imho..it's just not worth it unless you want to do up some eggs..or maybe boneless chicken breasts.

Trifexis heart worm/flea medicine. The stuff is expensive but worth every penny.

Volkswagen GTI. Best car I have ever driven let alone owned.

Energy Take 5 surround sound speakers. Maybe the best entertainment component value ever.

Stand alone e readers. I was apprehensive. My wife was set against it. But even she is a full convert to electronic readers now.

The Foreman grill I have, the one with the removable plates, has a lever on the side to shift the tilt down or leave it even..
It also has a deep dish pan that I use to make brownies and small cakes in, so it has to be even, otherwise the mix would all go to the front.. it also has a muffin pan, which makes perfect muffins..

this one made my dog sick for about 3 days. Vet told me not all dogs react well to it. Fortunately he does Sentinal just fine and that also fights fleas and heart worms. I have never seen a flea on him ever. Thank God for the double duty pills!

And this just after my wife sent me a link about deaths! My pups have been on it for over a year and definitely do not have fleas after years of battle in uptown. But now I'm worried. Maybe those occasional bouts of illness are due to this?

Check into it for sure. My dog got pretty darn sick. I only gave it to him once because i knew that was what did it. But like I said it isn't ask food and I think the vet said the breed mattered. My boy is a dobbie.

Gross.

Why would you destroy a beautiful piece of technology with a terrible operating system?
