I recently got out my mountain bike after several years and noticed that the seat was pointing in an upward angle and could not find my old tool for adjusting it. I wanted something small and cheap that could make the necessary adjustments. I am not saying it is great for large jobs because I would guess the small size may make it hard to get leverage. However, for small adjustments, it does the job. It worked for me.

Twilight is a wonderful book! I love the series! VAMPIRES RULE! Alice is my favorite Cullen besides Edward! I think Stephenie Meyer is a WONDERFUL writer! She’s an amazing storyteller! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

I’m quite happy with my new pedometer. The memory helps me compare my progress on a daily basis either through calories burned, aerobic steps or total distance. It’s simple to use as opposed to some I’ve seen. I highly recommend it.

As an auntie of a niece that is just growing way too fast (and I also work closely with high schoolers), I read the entire Twilight series to see what all the hoopla was about. For the most part, it is innocent (except for Book 4, “Breaking the Dawn”–do NOT let your teenager read that one!). Although, I do not condone feeding into the whole “vampires are real…let’s feel sorry for them” mantra, I think the average teenager will NOT pick up or focus on the deeper social, spiritual, and psychological themes (which I feel are unhealthy, once grasped) throughtout the books. As I was reading, I could see most tween- and teenage girls 1) being able to relate to Bella’s feeling disconnected from her “world” and 2) being strongly drawn to the undeniably romantic and tangible relationship between Edward & Bella. Girls will be girls; even I am a sucker for a good “star-crossed lovers” tale! Meyer does this very well; the hundreds of pages in each of her books seem to fly by because the character & plot development is so natural. So, for the most part, the saga is harmless.
*Parents, Educators, Aunties, etc: for the more “sensitive” tween & teenage girls, I would recommend having a talk about: making the clear distinction between reality and fiction (vampires), discussing healthy perspectives on boys (rejection: Edward rejects Bella), inner beauty & self-esteem (Bella finds her worth in Edward), discussing rebellion (the vampires have only 1 rule that they live by), keeping secrets (Bella hides everything from her father to “protect” him), the lifelong effects of choices (it’s Bella’s choice to become a vampire), stressing it’s okay to be different but setting clear boundaries on acting on those differences (Bella would DIE to be a vampire), and about sex & intimacy (Bella & Edward don’t have sex until marriage only because it’s not physically possible–so we think)——all before they even pick up the book. All of this makes for a great, entertaining read but be not

There are parts of this book that seem to drag on and can make the center of the book go really slow, but it picks up in the end. Overall, I enjoyed the book, I just thought it could have been about half as many pages and still had the same outcome, as much of it felt pretty repetitive. I enjoyed the book well enough to continue on through the series. It is one of those nice rainy day books that can just take you to another place. In the end… a rather enjoyable read.

I received the Kindle for Christmas and its fantastic. Worth every penny. I also got a red leather cover for it and it lets me prop it up while I am laying down in bed so I can read hands free. All I have to do is press the next page button when needed! Its great! No more kinks in my neck!

This product came packaged just like it would if you bought in the store. The blue front cover came broken and would not fit over vacuum bag. I have to return the complete vacuum cleaner and wait for my money. I am very unhappy with this purchase and the problems that came with it. Why was this product not packaged better. Why must I return the whole product why cant they just send me blue cover I have to take product apart because I had it put together before I realized this part broken last purchase from amazon.

Despite several thousand positive reviews, this carpet cleaner was HORRIBLE. I read the owner’s manual as everyone suggested before using it but it was to no avail. The cleaner itself was so light it didn’t make a dent in the sections of my carpet I was trying to clean – the carpet looked just as stained as it was before after 2 separate runs in the pattern recommended in the owner’s manual.

The handle of the cleaner is jiggly – it doesn’t lock in place when you put the cleaner upright and ‘lock’ it into place – overall cheaply made product.

The cleaner does NOT auto-rinse the carpets and the water tank is ridiculously hard to empty to do the second rinse run as the owners manual suggests you may want to try. In fact, it never truly empties – there is always a bit of water left in the tank which could lead to mildew problems. The cleaner left a ton of soapy water in my carpet that did not dry for FIVE DAYS because no mater how many times I ran the cleaner over the area, minimal water was sucked up into the tank! I had to call out a professional steam cleaning service to clean my carpets!!

Horrible, horrible product. I shipped it back for a full refund just 3 days later.

I enjoyed reading this book a great deal. I was interested in the characters and the story and the insights into a life that I only know peripherally (though I grew up in the ’60s). I thought the author played a bit heavily to stereotypes, including the always-helpful-warm-hearted – and brace help — at the very same time she was claiming to be exposing the fallacy of stereotypes. Not a great book with an eye-opening message or emotional ride, but a nice, easy book to read for pleasure and a little enlightenment. It’s well done and manages to pull together several threads into a believable whole.
