  1. I only have experience with the Mac one. I noticed the 3 stars too and read through several of the reviews - they're all over the place! Seems like people really love it or really hate it. I can only say from personal experience that ours has worked very well the past 3 years. DH took it with his MacBook Air to Afghanistan on deployment. He used it daily for work and to watch movies for the 8 months he was there with no problems. My DD uses it with her Air now for school games and movies, and we always take it with us when we travel. So far, not a single issue with it.
  2. We live in Hawaii, and Costco is an even better value now than it was when we lived in Florida. Unlike other stores here, Costco keeps their prices the same as they are on the mainland. Some of the things I consider great deals there compared to other current options: organic ground beef organic boneless skinless chicken breast red, yellow, orange bell peppers pack spinach carrots grapes strawberries kale organic milk toilet paper paper towels dishwashing liquid detergent
  3. We are loyal Apple users, and of all the products we own - iMac, iPad, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air - the favorite for all of us is the Macbook Air. You can get the super drive separately to play CDs and DVDs; it's attaches by USB. But for the price ($999), you have a computer that's fast, super light, and has plenty of space.
  4. DH (31) has 2 brothers. One is 34, the other is 24. DH talks to the older one probably once a week. He and the younger brother text occasionally but usually don't talk on the phone. He has a close relationship with both of them, but careers, distance, and personalities play a roll in how often they communicate. We live in Hawaii, and DH works very long hours. His older brother is a state trooper in NJ so he calls when he works nights, while it is after work but before bedtime here. DH and his younger brother are both pretty quiet on the phone, and it's hard to keep a conversation going very long between them. So texting works best. :)
  5. We have a Toyota Sienna that comfortably seats 8 and has plenty of storage space in the back. Our previous vehicle was a Honda Odyssey that also seated 8. Both get decent gas mileage, are great for long road trips, and have plenty of upgrade options. I've loved my minivans - and this is coming from someone who only ever had SUVs and was sure I would NEVER drive a minivan :)
  6. I have no idea what you're talking about either! 30 yrs old, born and raised in Florida...
  7. Hike the Kalalau Trail on the Na Pali coast! Hanakapi'ai Falls is absolutely beautiful and worth the extra 2 mile hike to get there. It's where DH proposed, which was amazing, but not exactly the easiest spot to revisit. :) Here are a few links with some helpful info: http://www.kauaiexplorer.com/hiking_kauai/hanakapiai_hike.php http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g29218-d560716-Reviews-Hanakapiai_Falls-Kauai_Hawaii.html http://www.hawaiistateparks.org/hiking/kauai/kalalau-trails.cfm
  8. Yep, that is why I have always liked Tristan. :) My son's name made the list. I don't personally know anyone whose surname is Hunter, and I don't consider it to be "violent" either!
  9. :lol: For me, it completely depends on whether my husband is home or deployed. When he's around - a couple times a week. When he's gone? Ummmm.....
  10. I usually end up wearing make-up once a week for church. However, I will actually fix my hair and apply make-up for girls' night, dates w/DH, dinner guests, baby showers, etc. :)
  11. :iagree::iagree:Another libertarian homeschooling family currently here in Jax. And yes, except for the whole humidity thing, Jacksonville seems to be a nice fit. We LOVE our large, non-denominational church with both Calvinists and Arminians. However, I know of a few good Calvinist churches in the area that women in my Bible study group attend. The Navy is sending us back to Hawaii this summer, and we are actually going to miss Jax quite a bit!
  12. It's 70 degrees here right now. I have no idea what that even feels like, snuggling up and getting ready for snow! :)
