Saw VI is to die for

I know I’m a little late on this post but better now than never.

David and I had our official Saw date night last Friday (10/23/09) and went to see Saw VI. It has been a ritual every year since the first one came out for just the two of us to go see it opening night.

I love how not even 5 minutes into the movie and there’s already a game going & it’s getting gory. This one stepped right up and knocked the others out of park! Tobin Bell plays Jigsaw so perfectly. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole movie. Saw VI is by far the BEST one yet! Alot of things come together from the previous Saw movies and the surprising ending is incredible.

Why Recycle..?

Don’t throw those plastic bags in the trash. Recycle them or donate them to an individual or organization for upcycling.

What happens when those bags go out with the trash?

- In a landfill, they can take up to 1000 years to degrade.

- As litter, they breakdown into tiny bits, contaminating our soil and water.

- In the ocean, they cause death to hundreds of thousands of marine life that mistake them for food.

Laundry Pre-treat & Stain Remover

Let me start by saying, our youngest daughter, Nikki - sweet as can be, is one messy little child. It never fails that if she is wearing a white shirt, she is going to spill everything on it. =)

I have tried many different laundry pre-treat/stain removers (OxiClean, Spray ‘N Wash, Zout, Shout, Nature’s Source) and the only thing that I have found that works is Greased Lightning. I mean it REALLY works – on removing a whole tube of lipstick from a light blue jacket,  pen markings from blue jeans, chocolate milk from a white shirt, baby formula stains, and all sorts of other stubborn stains. It’s a multi-purpose cleaner/degreaser and can be used for many other cleaning jobs around the house. 

So with that being said, go check out there website, print out a coupon & go grab a bottle. Then you can see for yourself what a wonderful product Greased Lightning is.
