ErgoMotion Laser Mouse Review & Giveaway

CMash is the winner! Congratulations!Do you ever have pain in your arm, wrist, or neck after a long, hard day at the computer (playing Facebook games-LOL)? Even though I've had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands, I still get occasional pain in my wrists from overuse, not to mention my neck and shoulder.

According to chiropractor and SmartFish Technologies CEO Dr. Jack Atzmon, many of people’s complaints of hand, wrist, shoulder and neck pain are directly related to our daily use of computers. Thus, the ErgoMotion Laser Mouse was created.

Using a combination of ergonomics and motion, the ErgoMotion Laser Mouse provides a comfortable experience for you, the user. The mouse is set on a base that pivots with your wrist. You can lean your wrist at an angle that is more comfortable that causes less stress on your joints. The mouse has 4-way scrolling, and it's wireless (2.4GHz), which allows you to place your hand wherever it is comfortable for you. The USB connection is a very small piece (nano transceiver), so it won’t be in the way if you’re using a laptop. And the USB fits into the base of the mouse so you can easily store it when you're on the go. Don't forget to turn it off when you're not using it to save battery power.

In case you don’t want to take my word for it, you can check out Benchmark Review’s assessment. Or you can check out MegaTech News. You can also find SmartFish on Facebook and Twitter.

Our Krazy Kitchen

Come see me at Our Krazy Kitchen for a great soup recipe!

Tackle it Tuesday

Boy have I had a situation to tackle! My husband was looking for a survey on the house, one that was done ten or eleven years ago before we were married, and no amount of convincing would persuade him that it wasn't in our file cabinet.

Not only that, but he had stacks of papers in no apparent arrangement. What happens any time he can't find what he's looking for? First, I'm called upon. Did I throw it away? No. Did I file it wrong? No. (At least I file papers!) He doesn't mean to imply blame , but he does.

And guess what? The paper he was looking for wasn't in the file cabinet at all, and, as it turns out, was a paper I had never seen before in my life that he had put in a folder, with some other folders, in a sack, in the attic. Hmph!

I left everything sitting there for a couple of weeks hoping he would clean up the mess he created. Last week, I finally reached my limit. I had to try to put Humpty together again because it wasn't going to happen by magic, and he was definitely in no hurry. Plus, he doesn't like to throw things away. He has camping lists and pamphlets from ten years ago!

Rome wasn't built in a day, and this mess wasn't cleaned up in one day. It took several days, but I finally tackled it, with the exception of one little pile that my husband HAS to go through. I threw away quite a bit, too. Well, actually, I recycled it. And that's my tackle!

Decadent Cakes and Amazing Glazes Review

Duncan Hines has introduced two new products! Decadent Cake Mixes (available in Triple Chocolate, Apple Caramel, and Classic Carrott and two new Amazing Glazes in vanilla and chocolate.

Decadent is the best way to describe the cake I made with real apples and caramel sauce drizzled throughout it. It was so EASY! And boy, did my house smell good! I used the Vanilla Glaze instead of icing. It should be a sin to eat something so heavenly! I made it here at home, and my family ate half of it in one night. I took the other half to work the next day and it was gone in a flash. I got so many compliments on the cake! It was moist, just the right spices, real apples, sweet caramel, and the smooth glaze was also a hit. Definitely Decadent!

I plan to use the triple chocolate for a Thanksgiving dessert. I could make the cake as is, or use one of the recipes that came with my cakes. The chocolate biscotti bars sound delightful, and the red velvet cake using whipped topping and cherry pie filling along with the triple chocolate cake - the thought just makes my mouth water. You can click here for a $1.00 coupon.

On behalf of Family Review Network and Forgetfulone, Thank you, Duncan Hines, for providing these sinfully delicious products in exchange for my honest opinion.
