Filter Out the Nasties in Your Shower



We are being hit with toxins in so many ways. Since I don't have a whole house water filter, I decided to give this filtered showerhead a try.

I have been using this type of showerhead for a while and absolutely LOVE it! It was a snap to install because I already had a hand-held showerhead with hose. This filters chlorine and other bad stuff out of your water so you aren't breathing in and showering in toxins.

This is very powerful and I find I don't turn need the water pressure up very high, so I am saving on water usage. But on a higher pressure the jet stream can blast off some types of mold! It's great. I liked it so much that I bought a spare..just in case.

I use one and highly recommend it!

magicJack Plus Product Review

Here is my review of the magicJack Plus system and shed some light on things others have not disclosed to you.
I got the magicJack voice over IP system on a 30-day trial, which I highly recommend. The equipment comes with everything (for the most part) you need to set up with either the direct PC connection with USB or connecting to your router or modem. For my situation, I decided to do the setup, which did not require a PC to be online. This meant I would connect the Ethernet cable to my router.
If you have more than one phone in your residence, you can use a simple 2 to 1 phone line adaptor, which is NOT included, connecting the magicJack to 1 input and 1 of your phones to the other input. Then plug it into the phone wall jack. Now ALL the phones in your house will work, not just one ~ so cool!
Setting up the equipment was a breeze and registration was easy too, though you will be hit with a barrage of up-sells. If you choose to keep a current number, then there is an upfront fee of just under $20 with an additional fee just under $10 per year. I opted for no additional up-sells because I knew I could later re-up on the website for the same costs.

After I registered and selected my phone number, which was partially assigned, I found the number worked right away! VERY impressive! The call quality was VERY good, no complaints at all about that. With this system you do have to dial the area code on ALL calls, even if it matches your personal number.

The magicJack caller ID will only list an incoming number, no name associated with it.

On the website, in 2011, they mention working on compatibility with security systems. In testing my unit, I discovered it was NOT compatible with my security system even though I previously had a voip system from a local provider. Not sure what the difference is, but in a live chat with magicJack support, they verified that the system does not work with security systems. It is my understanding that some security systems use a wireless communication so the magicJack system may work fine for those. I’m pretty sure magicJack also doesn’t work with satellite internet systems. Please do more research on this if you have satellite internet.

After I registered, I received an email suggesting I pay a fee of $3.18 to be sure when I called 911 for emergencies, that my new phone number was associated with my current address. I decided to go ahead and pay for this service, after which I was given verification of completion of this re-assignment. However, 8 days later, I had a need to call 911 in a medical emergency. I was disappointed to discover they DID NOT have my address associated with the magicJack number I was calling from. In hindsight, I can see there was no need for me to pay this additional charge, which was not effective anyway. Instead, you simply should call the 911 operators, declare you are not in an emergency situation, and give them your current phone number and address association.

I decided to return the unit while still inside the trial period. To do this, you simply log into their site using the login information you got from the setup, go to Support, then look for Returns. After completing the short form, you will be issued an RMA code. This will also be sent in email, which you print out and include with the magicJack equipment you are returning. Again, this was a very easy process.

Be sure to notify your 911 service again for updated information, if you do go back to a prior number.

Also to note that if you have package pricing on your home services, which included a home phone then expect the other services to increase in price if you cancel your phone in switching to magicJack.

I hope you found this information helpful. This is only information based on my personal experience and I do not guarantee that your experience will be identical to mine and I have no control over how set up or connectivity may change in the future.

Overall, I think the magicJack Plus system is a great value and very good product.

Product Review - Amazing Back


Purchased this products from Four Corners and have been trying it out. I feel it is very good for releasing tight back muscles, assists in aligning the spine and helping to stretch out the vertebra to counteract the effects of gravity and poor posture.

I recommend using this 1 or 2 times per day for 1 - 5 minutes each time for adults. I had slight discomfort at first which I feel is a sign of how bad I needed to use it. Now it is easier to use and my sister tried it out without any discomfort at all. ~ Patty K

Product Review - System Suite by Avanquest



After using this software for a few years and enduring a love/hate relationship with it, I finally kicked it to the curb after trying to update to SystemSuite 14 on my Windows XP PC and experienced a Major Fail with no less than 20 hours (over several weekends) dealing with it on my PC before abandoning ship. It caused my PC to lock up and the only way to correct the issue was to crash the computer and reboot. There are numerous other issues with it.

Though the purchase price and renewal price are extremely enticing, don't bite, especially if you are using XP.
