Haunted ink bottle

The vacuum is a great deal for the price. I’ve been impressed with its performance. However, it would have been nice to receive the one advertised in the photo. As others have indicated, this model no longer comes with a headlight or full-bag indicator, and the hose for use with the attachments is very short.

Wow. I hope that’s not all I can say about this book, but that’s where I’ll start. Wow.

Every time I hesitate to think I’ll find a book that is captivating, entertaining, and that will keep my interest and keep me thinking about its characters long after the book is over, I somehow seem to find myself happily surprised. Water for Elephants was one of those books. It was really that good.

I heard good things about it, always saw it on the shelves at bookstores, but it wasn’t until recently that I decided to give it a chance. Why? A book about a circus in the depression/prohibition era is probably as far away from my “normal” reading zone as I can get. But I’m telling you – it doesn’t matter! Not one bit.

Entertaining and engrossing from the very first chapter, I was taken away on this journey with the characters. Nothing short of fascinating, in ways I wouldn’t have thought possible. Part love story, part coming of age, this is at its roots, a story about life and the unexpected paths it may take. I really came to love the character of Jacob, and sympathize with his situation and his love for animals. It’s been over a week since I’ve finished the novel, and I still think about the characters every day. I really got caught up in their world which is something, I must say, is sometimes way too rare in the books I read. Many are good stories, but with Water for Elephants, I really felt like I was traveling along with them in their adventures. A pleasant surprise.

Overall, I have already recommended to more than a few friends, and would encouragingly recommend it here. It may just be one of those precious few books that when you finish it, you stop and, at a loss for words, say – wow.

This watch is everything I wanted. I love that I can just go out and run without any preparation – no mapping my miles and carrying the paper with the route during my run. At any time I can see my pace and know if I can maintain that for the duration of that particular run. Enjoy seeing all the detailed history. Very easy to connect to ConnectGarmin.com and upload all my info and get detailed graphs for each run. So many more features are on the watch that I haven’t had a chance to look into yet. My only complaint is that it doesn’t always pick up my heart rate so the readings look off. All in all, very happy with my purchase.

I have had this scale for 2 1/2 months. So far, we have been very pleased with it. It looks great, and it is very stable when I stand on it. However, that would not matter if it did not work well. I tested it against our older scale that works good, but the readout window is small and hard to see. The EatSmart scale has a very large, bright, & clear readout window that gives us a fast and accurate read every time. My wife likes that it gives us a read in tenths of a pound. Our old one does not.

I didn’t get into the characters at all, I skipped the last 100 pages and read the last chapter.

I bought this vacuum about a year ago after my Panasonic died after years of good service. The power cord is a tad too short and it is pretty loud, but overall this vaccuum performs. This unit picks up dirt like a champ and for the money, you can’t go wrong.

I personally wouldn’t recommend wasting hundreds of dollars on a whiz bang vacuum when this one will do you just fine.

This review will be nothing as eloquent as what you’ve probably previously read. I’ll keep it simple and to the point. The author took a subject which life, time and history has told over, and over and over again — it’s an ugly story. Yet she managed to make her story unique in it’s own way. She did an excellent job developing her characters and readers will love Aibileen and Minnie, the main characters AND who could not be more opposite from one another. At first glance the book’s volume may seem imposing but once you start reading it the 400+ pages go by quickly. You will laugh, cry, be shocked, sickened, disappointed and find yourself rooting for Minnie and Aibileen. While you may not ever look at a chocolate cake quite the same again (read the book and you’ll know what I mean), you cannot help but admire the strength of Minnie and at the same time feel a bitter/sweet sadness for both ladies at the end. And speaking of the end, I would have hoped for a better ending where some others (other than Skeeter) had a happy ending. But then life does not afford us always the opportunity to write our own ending. Looking forward to this becoming a movie. If you’re like me you like to put a face to your characters and I see Queen Latifah as Minnie — how about you?

This has to be by far the WORST book I ever read! I’m sorry I wasted my money and time on it.

I bought this solely for its exercise potential. And it is working out great! I am morbidly obese and I’m finding that the Wii Sports games that came bundled in it are perfect for someone who cannot stand for long periods of time. I’m currently up to 40 minutes per day doing a combined routine of bowling,boxing and golf-with an occasional game of baseball or tennis.

Buy the Wii and start getting fit!
