Purchased this vacuum and the belt broke on it’s 3rd use. We have a small house, maybe 1000sq ft and we don’t even vacuum the entire thing. This was really a let down.

After Salinger’s death, I wanted to reread The Catcher in the Rye, so ordered a used paperback. It is in new condition and I’m quite happy with it. Delivery was within the estimated time.

It never made much sense to pay big bucks for a simple cable. This one is marked HDMI on the connectors, seems well made, works fine and it arrived quickly by USPS. I really can’t expect more.

This Eatsmart scale is my first digital scale, and I’m very pleased with it. One quick point. Before stepping on this scale to weigh yourself, make sure it is situated on a perfectly flat floor surface! Uneven floors will cause the sensors to be misaligned and the weight reading to be inaccurate. That said, I love this thing. Its best features — no endless foot tapping to turn it on — just step on it and wait for the reading to appear. The scale is exceptionally accurate — I know because I place a 12-pound dumbbell on the scale before I weigh myself, and it registers 12 pounds exactly. The blue backlight is bright and easy to read. That’s basically all I have to say about this device. It works as it should and is a must-have for anyone who is exercising regularly and wants to check their weight on a regular basis.

This book goes against everything the Bible teaches. This guy must be CRAZY!! (Or desperate…)

Our old suction cups for the GPS kept failing, and damaging our device. This was the perfect alternative solution. It doesn’t budge at all and the eye level of its location is great on the dashboard. Wish I had this sooner!
Cuba Before Columbus Volume

The story is set in Jackson, Mississippi, in the early sixties, and narrated by three women: Aibileen is an older housemaid who has raised seventeen white children, Minny is a younger domestic with a hot temper, and Skeeter is a wealthy, white, college graduate who has just returned home to her critical mother.

The story starts off as a look at bored, rich women with nothing better to do than gossip about each other while being insensitive if not downright cruel to “the help.” Then, Skeeter decides to write a book about what black maids really think of their white employers and the grits really hit the fan.

The book started off slowly but by the middle there was so much drama and excitement that I couldn’t turn the pages quickly enough. Jim Crow and the KKK were in full force and the maids risked their lives to contribute to the book. The three women’s stories were authentic and riveting and the setting was so real I could feel the stultifying humidity, hear the buzzing of the mosquitoes, and smell Minny’s caramel cake. An insightful and very well-written look at segregation in the South. Highly recommended.

I purchased a Wii console from Amazon after searching. So many places were out of them and I put it on my Wish List. I received a text the next week and quickly purchased it. It was delivered the very next day. I love my Wii. I’ve purchased the Wii Fit Plus and play on that almost every day. It’s loads of fun and I don’t feel like I’m working out. I’m glad I bought this for myself.

This book is not meant to be a super scholarly treatment of the period and events in questions. Instead, the book is meant to be an invitation to the characters, history and events that make up a pivotal period in western history. Reston succeeds in wonderfully telling a story of the pivotal events that were taking place in late 15th century Spain, including: the final defeat of the Moors, Ferdinand and Isabella’s expulsion of the Jews, the discovery of the New World, the horrors of the inquisition and the overall consolidation of Spanish power into one united nation. As Reston argues, the ramifications of these events are still reverberating through the ages.

The maps are pretty decent, but not all places named are displayed on them. There are no footnotes (maybe 1 or 2) as this book is not meant to be another production of esoteric historians who examine fact after fact. Overall, this is a great book and a fantastic introduction to the period for those in need of such an introduction.

We purchased Wii two years ago. We use it so much that it just finally wouldn’t play anymore. That’s when we ordered another one from Amazon. Couldn’t let a day pass without Wii!!. We had been playing the “sports” cd, but thought we’d try something different. We got the game of Monopoly. Mindless.Needing only a hand to play. We were skeptical, but pressed on. What the game lacks phyically, it makes up for emotionally. I have to have Boardwalk. Oh, oh, my opponent just put houses on his property. And then, there’s this little man who runs around the board letting all the players know what’s happening and ad-libing about the actions of the players. Like, if you want to trade with another player, he states how exciting that is for him. It’s a fun, addictive game. A game for the family. I admit it doesn’t take alot to keep me amused, but remember the word “mindless”. For me. 4 out of 5 stars.
