This has just about replace my laptop. I use my iPod Touch everyday for music, email, surfing the web, checking the weather, stock quotes… the list goes on and on. This is my first iPod. I don’t know how I ever functioned before I got it.

Bought Wii for my husband who enjoys video games and thought it would promote more enthusiasm to exercise as I also purchased the Wii Fit Plus, too. He does enjoy this form of exercise.

It does the job okay, and it paid for itself the first time I used it. My carpet was pretty dirty, and it looks substantially better after, but not almost new, as some reviewers have said. I have read that the key is to go SLOW. So slow, I went, but to my disappointment, I needed to refill the water quite often, which was annoying. The next time I use it, I plan to go over the carpet, let it dry completely, then go over it again the next day. I suspect that will produce better results. Three stars is because of the inconvenient frequent water changes for a room approx. 500 square feet.

There was this huge buzz in one of the bookstore I visited in Australia, about this book, so I picked it up. I generally like reading vampire-fiction, so this was right up my alley. The salesperson at the check-out even told me that this was a very good book.

I read it in one sitting. Afterwards my immediate thoughts were that this book was a bit simplistic/shallow and shamelessly aimed at teenagers.

It’s mainly a teenage romance with sparkling vampires, with an okay enough plot.

Maybe I expected a bit more from the book, since it was recommended by the bookstore AND the adult clerk, but alas it wasn’t to be. As a twenty-something avid reader, I found myself slightly too mature for the book, and had seriously difficulties relating to the main characters.

I will try the next one to see if the series improve.

Recommended for teenagers, and people with teenager-brains.

We’ve had the vacuum for a few weeks now and have not had any problems with it at all. It does a very nice job on plush carpeting as well as flat carpets but not quite as good on hardwood floors. It has a handle just above the bag compartment that makes it easy to carry up and down stairs and it is fairly light compared to other full size uprights. As mentioned by others, the cord is about 6 feet too short. The mechanism to adjust the vacuum height is klunky, feels like it may be something easy to break, and is somewhat difficult to use. The suction for the hose attachment is almost too hard and there is no way to dial it down. Overall, though, I like this vacuum and would recommend it to friends.

Like most people, I was required to read this book in the late 60s. I don’t have any recollection of being touched by it at all. I read it again in college, and either I thought it was all about disaffection and rejecting middle class values or I was told that by my teachers.

I glanced at it again over my daughter’s shoulder on a long plane ride a few years ago and couldn’t wait for her to finish so I could read it again. I was shocked to see that I had completely missed the point: it’s about Holden’s vertiginous fall into depression after the death of his little brother. His parents and his sister are all too damaged by their own grief to help him, and he’s struggling to feel something while avoiding feeling anything. These are familiar demons, beautifully evoked.

I have been purchasing books from Amazon.com since they first opened for business. It has been fun watching them grow and prosper. They couldn’t have done that if they didn’t provide good service and products. I will continue to purchase from them.

The book I purchased was Conversations With God #1. I have already read this book and the others in the series over and over. I purchase it again from time to time to give to someone else. It is an important book.

This is a nice scale. The batteries that came with it were dead and I had to replace them with my own, but apart from that it’s a good product.

The Garmin Forerunner 305 is great. I have enjoyed it fully. I recommend getting with other runners who have them to fully utilize your features faster. It is a little confusing at first, but it is awesome when you figure it out. The only problem I had was I left it connected to the computer one time when I turned off the computer. I took it out later and the battery was dead. I charged it in the wall plug and everything worked fine after that. So, disconnect it from your computer before turning off your computer. Running Ahead website works great with reading the stats and downloading stats off the garmin.
