Sony Ericsson MBW-100
Every guy secretly wants to lead the James Bond lifestyle, and while it's probably not a good idea to retrofit his BMW with surface-to-air missles, you can still hook him up with a high-tech watch. Sony Ericsson's MBW-100 Bluetooth model should fit the bill: it'll help him impress his buddies every time a call comes in, and it looks way snazzier than past attempts at merging wrist with CallerID.
Yesterday was my JCC day and a little guy who doesn’t speak English yet but understands it pretty well ( he is from Russia) was playing soccer with me in the “bubble”. The bubble is a large air dome covering an indoor soccer field and gymnastics area. Within it is a place called the pit filled with three feet deep foam squares into which the kiddos can jump and sink and roll and be saved- essentially it is a total hoot. SO I was warned by a 4 year old that I should go init with a skirt on and a teacher told me it tends to remove your socks. But I took the leap and man was it great fun. I also spent some time running along a 30 feet long trampoline leading to the pit.
Afterwards I managed to get a free pass to use the J that afternoon for lap swimming. There was only one other person in the pool…. Duh. And I got in about 8 laps before thinking I had better cool it or I wouldn’t be moving the next day. And then I tried the smaller therapy pool- 90 degrees for exercise mostly and I did some stretches before I visited the whirlpool/. Their whirlpool wasn’t as hot as mine so that was good to know. But I think they will give me a free pass every Thursday so I can make laps part of the weekly routine.
In the afternoon my treo came. Jim managed to get it to successfully synch w outlook but half the keyboard doesn’t function and I really miss graffiti as an input device—and the writing screen. So maybe a one device plan isn’t right for me but I thought it would simplify everything, maybe if I get one where the keyboard works??????????
Jim went to a play last night while I stayed home and watched a really bad mystery movie--- but abs purred and hummed all evening through the quiet and even let me get some knitting done while she slept on my lap. And I applied to volunteer at the Chinese garden as the craft museum hardly ever calls. Whoever gets to me first gets me one morning a week. Oh and yesterday it snowed most of the afternoon. No complaints here.
I know there are some techies out there, and also some camera buffs. Even if you aren't one of them, then perhaps you fall into the mold of people who love to research and 'know things'. Now, I have done my homework and am still sitting at an impasse within myself on a decision that I am chomping at the bit to make - soon. Calling one and all for advice, input and logic..
I am in the market to upgrade my existing camera. I have an older Canon, that at the time of purchase was the top of the line. Well now, it still has a good reputation but is no longer serving my needs or putting me at a competitive edge with only 4.0 Mega Pixels, slow shutter response and limited creative controls. I have narrowed my serarch down to 2 models.
- Nikon D80 DSLR. This camera is sweeeeeeet! It has it all, along with 10.2 Mega Pixels. The creative control is amazing. It comes with an 18-55 mm lens, and I would also purchase the 18-135 mm and the 50 mm lenses as well. The pricetag for this sweet baby is right at $1620.00.
- Nikon D40 DSLR. (just announced upgrage from the older D40 which was only 6.2 Mega Pixels) This is a pretty sweet camera too - Mega Pixels are the same as with the D80 but there is less manual control and is a smaller body. Like the D80, it comes with an 18-55 mm lens, and I would also purchase the 18-135 mm and the 50 mm lenses. The lenses are the constants in my decision. This pricetag is right at $1320 (so I save $300), and I can use that extra $$$ toward a new laptop.
So here's my logic when buying. I don't have to have the most expensive, but I don't like to sacrafice quality or lifespan for price - unless there is a huge difference in the pricetag and clearly here, there is not that big of a difference. I like to know that when I make a big purchase that it's going to last me for a lot of years. I am not a yearly upgrader. But, I don't want to be frivolous just because I can. I like to make sound and solid decisions based upon the big picture. I don't want to pay for features that I will not ever use, but I don't want to regret my choice later on because I need a feature that my purchase doesn't support. I do not like to be 'sold' at the time of purchase. I have been in sales before. I know that there are commissions on particular items and with commissions, the sales rep can present an irresistable argument so I want to make up my own mind before I buy and I want to know the facts. But, I am also sort of incapable of making a final decision on my own, so once I have my choices narrowed down I do rely on everyone I know (and I irritate the heck out of them until I can decide) to help me over my hump. Don't worry... I wont hold you responsible. Ultimately, the decision is mine but I am on the inside, drooling... and I need external perspectives.
So, if you would be so kind... Have at it :-)
Also, if you know of better places to purchase... I am open to suggestion. I am just familiar with Ritz...
I've been doing some kind of home business for a long time. I've dealt with hundreds of people over the years.
The two things I'm concentrating on at the moment are health products and high tech gadgets.
I'm always amazed that people what to sample your products before they buy!
Eniva is one of the best liquid nutrition products on the market with the laboratory tests to prove it but people want to know what it taste likes and expect you to give them a taste from your supply. You can't go into a health food store and ask to sample their nutritional products.
I also sell Isagenix which is a great weight loss program. Again, people want to sample the chocolate and the vanilla to see which they like best. Give me a break! If I let a hundred different people have a sample, I'm going to lose money.

We also have Xpower energy savers that will reduce your electric bill by 25%. I had a restaurant owner ask me to try it for a month to see if it worked. I don't go into his restaurant and tell him I'll try his food for a month to see if I like it. I have to pay before I leave. The unit costs $200 and comes with a six month guarantee. If it doesn't work, send it back to the company for a refund.

You can't walk into Wal-Mart and ask to use an appliance for a month to see if you like it. You don't ask the grocery store if you can open the cereal box and taste it. So why do people expect people who sell products from home for international companies to give them samples of products?
