Callaway Strata Tour Advanced Golf Balls (White)

This golf ball played just fine, my game not so much.   I'm not a good enough golfer to see or recognize the differences that Callaway describes.    I hooked the first one off the tee and into the lake.    The ball does not float and thus was never recovered.   I had some good holes and some bad holes but nothing I could claim either improved or hurt my game due to the ball.   It is a nice enough ball and perhaps a better golfer would notice a difference between it and other balls. $20 at Amazon.  From the vendor: ·                         This 3-piece golf ball is designed to provide Tour-level performance while still feeling soft at impact. ·                         Soft Ionomer Cover: This unique blend of ionomers provides excellent control and feel around the green. ·                         DuPont HPF Mantle Layer: The soft, thin mantle layer maximizes ball speed while retaining its soft feel. ·                         Ultra-Resilient Core: This large, re

Sterling Silver Moon and Star Asymmetric Dangle Earrings

  These earrings are sized appropriate for a very young child.   They seem well made and the stem part is certainly long enough to hold in a child's ear but the very length of them seems awfully long for a small child.   The price is good at $15.00 on Amazon and I think the sales photo tries to put the size in perspective but I was still disappointed with how very small they are.

Sterling Silver 9 mm Black Tahitian Cultured Pearl Circle Pendant Necklace, 18"

This is a very pretty piece of jewelry.  The pearl has a mesmerizing glow or depth.  It appears to be well made and drew a pleasant, "that is really nice" from my bride.   At $55 at Amazon it seems quite reasonable for such a good looking necklace.

18k Yellow Gold-Plated Sterling Silver and Green Jade Dangle Earrings

Don't be fooled by the photo, the description is accurate and the color is really green.   The photo on the Amazon page appears to be a very light blue but it is most  definitely  a very light green.   The earrings are very pretty.  They are not pearl or pear shaped, they are flat not round.  That is not to dissuade you but the photo makes them look more rounded like tear drops.  They are flat tear drops and very pretty and quite reasonable at $43 at Amazon.

Rhodium Plated Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia Bracelet, 7.25"

This is a very pretty bracelet.   Sadly for $40.00 it looks darn near as good  as  one that cost me a lot more a few years back.  This is an attractive piece of jewelry for a very attractive price.  If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge.

Single White Orchid and Bamboo in Round Cut Glass Vase

Quite frankly I am shocked at the realism in this orchid.    Of course for just over $100.00 it should look   good.    I am betting I could glue it   to the palm   out front and my neighbors would be sure it was real.    It looks identical to the one that was blooming there last month.    This is a compliment to any decor and best of all the black thumb of death that tends my plant will be thwarted. ·                         Made in USA , Ships within 48 hrs ·                         Nearly-natural look and feel ·                         Minimal maintenance required ·                         It will never quilt, dry up, or shed its flowers ·                         No Assembly required If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge.

NOMOROBO Rocks!

Recently we were out to dinner with some friends.   One of the friends lavishly praised me for telling her about NOMOROBO.  NOMOROBO is a free service which stops nuisance calls.  You implement their service on their website.. https://www.nomorobo.com/   LINK NOMOROBO ROCKS! You then go to your carrier's website and follow NOMOROBO's instructions to set up their software on your phone carriers site.   Once that is accomplished you will get a test call from NOMOROBO and you are done.   It WORKS! I changed carriers recently due to my inability to reach any human being at Verizon.  They had upped my bill 33%.   Needless to say I was unhappy.   After over two weeks of trying to get the billing issue resolved, I changed to Comcast.   Ironically when I called to disconnect FIOS, the service rep apologized and said, "oh we would never want to lose an account over $50.00."  Too bad I didn't get her when I was trying to resolve my issues.   However d

Zenna Home 385PC, Butterfly Over-The-Door Hook, Satin Chrome

Some things are tough to review, this hook does the job.  It is sturdy, it fits over the door and it has a rubbery pad that protects the door finish.  I like the four hooks as opposed to the single hook I had.  It gets five stars because it does everything it claims to do, is well made and is reasonably priced at $7.99 at Amazon, of course unless you have the new $49.00 minimum for free shipping, you will have to pay shipping which may make this unattractive price wise. From the vendor: Four hooks to hang robes, towels and clothes Fits over standard interior doors with a thickness of 1 3/8 Inch Foam pad protects door from damage 5.6-Inch wide by 7.4-Inch high by 4-Inch deep Satin chrome finish If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge.
