Truly Awesome Chocolate Chip Cookies

I was invited to a new Bzz Campaign to try these yummy chocolate chip cookies. I really wasn't expecting too much when I was invited when I received the invite. I do have kids and grandkids here daily, and they all love cookies, so I figured they'd be good testers. I received two full size boxes of the cookies, free, each had eight cookies.....pretty good sized too. The taste was pretty good, comparable to other leading brands we've had in the past, so needless to say I was pleasantly surprised. Also, quite needless to say...the kids had both boxes gone withing a couple hours. I also got some $ off coupons, so if anyone wants to try them, I can send you off a coupon :) Let me know. (It's a Kroger product)

Tonka XT Ricochet Tricksters

I was invited to join the Tonka XT Ricochet Tricksters Bzz campaign, and of course I jumped on it, simply because I knew for sure my son would LOVE to try out a new r/c vehicle. (And I kinda wanted to try it too :)) I got my Tonka Bzzkit yesterday and I'm not sure who was more excited, me or my son. We totally bypassed the instructions and ripped right into the package...hence no pre-play pictures.

The Trickster is a mini version of another Tonka r/c vehicle, and it's kinda fun to play with. It moves fast, turns around and occasionally flips. What we didn't like about it was that you have to stay in view of the vehicle in order for the remote to work, if something's blocking the remote from the vehicle, even if it's just under a chair two feet away from you, it won't work. Also, the connection to plug remote into the vehicle is very small and plugs into the side of the vehicle between the over-sized tires, so as an adult, I found it a little difficult to get my fingers in there easily to connect it.

My 11 year old son seems to have already grown tired of it, but my 18 month old granddaughter has a blast chasing it around the dining room. So I guess that means I'll be playing with it to keep the grandkids entertained. :)

Trend Micro Titanium

One thing I love about the Trend Micro Titanium is that even on my FaceBook page, or while I'm looking around of FB, TMT will show me safe links (highlighted green), unsafe links (highlight red) and questionable links (highlight grey). What a better way to make sure everyone in your family is aware of unsafe links?!?!

Cars 2 Video Game

So we got a new video game via my Bzzz Agent status, and are asked to give our review of the product in return for the free game. We can't say enough good things about this game. The Cars 2 video game is so much fun, has many different types of tracks and areas to play and drive. My son and I chased each other in one open arena for hours. I think he enjoyed it more because I couldn't keep track of both of us, where as he knew exactly where I was and could "get" me alot more than I could him. It's a nice relief from the shooting games that he usually plays, it's fun for the entire family . :)

SafeSync Update.

So, after two days of a slow running computer to transfer files to SafeSync I received a pop up message that I needed to upgrade in order to transfer all of my files. I ran out of room for the storage that was being offered for the trial. I know that I received the free trial to give feedback, but if I can't take full advantage of the product, how can I give honest feedback? I guess what I can say is that with what I've experienced with other TrendMicro services, they're great, but with this particular service, there's not a whole lot I can say. Every day that I sign on I get a pop up saying that I need to delete files or upgrade to continue service. :(

Micro Trend

So by being a Bzz Agent I've been invited and accepted an invitation for a free one years subscription to try Trend Micro's SafeSync product. I've recently also tried their Online Guardian and was very impressed that, so I'm optimistic about the SafeSync.

I've lost my files twice before. Once due to a virus that totally wiped out my computer, and once due to theft of my computer. With this I'm supposed to be able to have all of my files backed up to their online storage, and have any and all changes that I make to the files sync automatically without me having to do anything. Like I said, I'm optimistic, so am anxious to try this out.

I downloaded the program a couple hours ago, and am still in the initial syncing process, seems to be taking forever. It says they've already synced almost 24,000 files, and I have over 53,000 more to go! That's alot of stinkin' files! Subsequent syncs are suppose to take only seconds, so that's something else I'm looking forward to. Crossing my fingers it works. :)
