Look, this film is just plain good ol' action mixed with a healthy dose of sophomoric humor. What more could anyone ask for let alone want or need?
Like the Beach Boys said, Fun! Fun! Fun!

I buy this because She Who MUST Be Obeyed has declared it her favourite coffee! To be honest, I don't drink the stuff m'self. To be just as honest, I value peace and quiet and having this particular brand and flavour of brew is the best way to start the day. For her, because it is her fave and for me because it is her fave and makes her day easier to get started.
So then...What have learned here today? Get your wife her most favored B&B (Brand & Blend) of coffee and you shall be rewarded with a smile instead of a frown from your beloved. That is worth it all.

I bought this back in June for some very dear friends (more family, really) and they received it a few days later. But still it doesn't show here that I'm a verified buyer!!!!
I am a Verified Buyer. :-) Yup. I am.
Well...I am! And per my friends this ION Survival Blootoof Speaker is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! I've given a couple of other IONs away. One to my son and one more to another good friend, but this one was chosen for this couple as they go camping and this ION has solar charging and a hand crank to help keep the battery powered up and the music playing.
The battery last for several hours and you can also charge your cell phone via the USB outlet. What more could you ask for?
How about built in AM/FM and (*GASP*) Short Wave Radio?! Well it has those two too (cool how I just did that phraseologifcaiton there, huh?).
So, as is my habit, this baby comes highly recommended. I tend to check into things before I buy them, either for myself or family and friends. I've heard from the wonderful folk I gave this unit to and they told me it is most excellent indeed.
Buy one for backayrd BBQing. Buy one for camping. Buy one for NASCARing (izzat a word?). If you have the need for a rugged, powerful and kinda cool looking Blootoof speaker, this ION will fill that need.
Trust me...I know what I'm doing.

This time, for my son. He has taken to weight training and as such has become all the more health conscious about his food. This blender/food processor does not only what he asks of it, but also what he needs.
I bought this to replace a 35+ year old Osterizer blender that simply developed a leak that I could not get to stop. So...I bought my son this new version. Like the previous processor, this unit has a GLASS container and when it comes to blenders and processors, glass is class.
Enough motor power to blend the thickest protein shakes as well as slice up vegetables such as carrots without so much as a wimper. Some here may say, "But SSSS, you give nearly everything you review 5 Stars!"
To that I would say thus - "I don't give anything I buy 5 Stars. It must earn them".
This blender does just that.

Samsung - Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G 512GB (Unlocked)
Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is crafted so you don’t need to choose between video and photo. With a single tap, you can pull super-clear stills straight from high-resolution 8K video. Or if you’re looking to capture stunning photos, the 108MP camera feels like you’ve brought your own professional studio with you. Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, designed to be epic in every way.
Does Samsung in general and this model in particular work well with Android Auto? My Motorola Z3 Play is awful in this regard and I am thinking of returning to Apple because of that. Thanks!

Motorola - Edge 256GB (Unlocked) 2021 - Nebula Blue
The Motorola edge is the perfect combination of a high-quality 6.8” Max Vision display that lets you watch shows on the largest display in its class. The insanely fast 144Hz refresh rate looks super smooth. Plus, true-to-life colors with improved brightness and contrast.
Does this work with Android Auto or not? The reason i ask is that I have a Motorla Z3 Play that doesn't play well with Android Auto at ALL. I had an iPhone and may go back but want to know about this model and Android Auto. Thanks!

Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!
I am the person that asked this question and now that i have bought the iPhone SE and have used CarPlay in my Dodge Ram I shall answer it as no one else appears to ha e been able to do so.
Yes. CarPlay and this new 2nd Gen iPhone SE works a whole lot BETTER than does Android Auto and my Motorola Z3 Play. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

This Zound Industries smart speaker has two 15W amplifiers for powerful, clear sound and a far-field microphone array to recognize commands from across the room.
Is the Alexa in the device or do you need an Alexa device to go with it?
I just asked "Alexa" via this Marshall speaker to play Harry Belafonte's "Dance Senora" and it did so! So I think all you need do is ask and so long as it is available, it shall be played. At least that's my experience so far. ;-)

I just bought one today and it goes back tomorrow and all because it DEMANDS that I enter a credit card number and PII, Personally Identifiable Information. Why is this necessary to register and use a Roku or any device for that matter?
Apparently Roku ain't talkin'. I gave the device a single star and would give it zero if I could. It goes back today because I can't find out anything about how to get around Roku's insistence I provide them with PII and credit card info that they have no need for. I got it yesterday for $30 off but I don't care. It is not going in my home. Hey Roku....You can keep it. Pfffffffffftttt!
