REVIEW – Whenever I hear the ukulele, I’m transported back to my childhood and seeing Tiny Tim playing and singing “Tiptoe Through the Tulips”. If you’re too young, a quick search will take you to it. Yes, that can scar someone for life. But since then, there have been plenty of terrific ukulele performances, including […]
REVIEW – Massagers are a hot item. The ones we typically see are percussion massagers – the ones that use repeated beatings to pound your aching muscles into submission. But sometimes, you just want a good, non-pounding massage to gently shake everything into a nice, relaxed state. Enter Dr. Massage and the Prowlr orbital massager.

REVIEW – What is it about hair? It seems to not grow where you want it to and then, it grows where you don’t want it to. While I can’t help with growing hair, I can shine a light on hair removal – literally. The Ulike Sapphire AIR+ Dark Green IPL hair removal handset uses
REVIEW – Tired and achy legs. When you’re active, they come with the territory. When you’re old and active, the territory seems to get much larger.

REVIEW – Cooking with magnets. It almost conjures up an image of Wylie E. Coyote and a huge Acme magnet trying again to capture and fricassee that roadrunner.

REVIEW – Tickling the ivories is a skill that I do not possess. My lovely wife, however, has the ability, therefore, we have a piano. One thing that is crucial for playing is decent lighting, both on the keyboard as well as on the sheet music. The light needs to do its job without blinding

REVIEW – We all need to power stuff. Traveling complicates matters as we tend to bring along power-hungry things like laptops, tablets, phones, headphones, cameras, well, you get the idea.

REVIEW – “Ow.” When you reach a certain age and are active, that phrase is a regular utterance. It sure is for us. We are both in our early 60s and are quite active. That means painful joints and muscles on a regular basis. I’m always on the lookout for ways to help deal with
REVIEW – Heat. We have it in spades here in central Florida. We have had more days over 90 degrees this year than should be allowed by law. In addition to that, we get thrown a healthy dose of humidity, driving dew points into the low 80s regularly. What does all this mean? It is
