I have needed this software for about two years, and I would always shrug in my shoulders about buying it because of the price. Well, it came down to where I truly couldn’t run from it anymore, so I went to amazon, an boy was the price cheaper than it was at the store! Thanks Amazon!
Cosmos from the Sky
The Help is the best book i have read in years!!!! Could not put it down.
Democracy and the Welfare
I bought my iTouch just a few days before going out of the country. I’m not particularly computer savvy but my computer is a Mac and the transition was easy. I was so glad it could sync with current data already on my computer. I do wish the battery held it’s charge longer.

I purchased two of these and discovered after opening the box that the suite does not include Microsoft Outlook. There was no way to return the product since the box was opened despite my complaints that the images online were not clear and what appeared to be Outlook on the front cover really read “OneNote” – a completely different program – but yes, begins with the letter “O.” With the image being unclear, I should have inquired by calling but it would have been a lot more helpful if the image was clearer so that we could know what we were buying. While Amazon customer service was helpful, a refund or credit was out of their hands because the product was sold via a third-party vendor- who was very unfriendly. I would not recommend this product nor would I recommend purchasing anything through a third-party since there is little if any recourse you have as a customer when purchasing their products.

I have went through a dozen pedometers and have not been happy with any of them until now. I have finally found one that I love and one that hasn’t torn up after only a few days. I walk a lot and often wondered exactly how many steps I took. This little gadget tells that. It does a lot of stuff and that memory button is great! It has a very sturdy clip if you want to hang on your belt or you can just put in your pocket. I mention this because most clips break after a very short time and a lot of times when you stick a pedometer in your pocket, you erase it by touching the button pulling it out. Not with this one. It’s great!
As Light Fades
I liked this book but wanted to wait until I read all four in order to rate them. Twilight was probably my third favorite out of all of the books. While although I love the books, I felt that this one took too long setting up the characters and situation before you got into the plot line and action points

Water for Elephants is an awesome story about an engaging character that had me sneaking my kindle out at work to read a bit more.
I loved it from start to finish. Some have criticized the amalgamation of the Jacob story from the Bible and post depression circuses but it works beautifully.
The level of detail and insight into the train circus world shows an incredible amount of research but one of the most amazing things is none of those details come across as research. They are as natural to the story as the characters.
Well, I finally broke down and realized that our cheap little Shark + Dustbuster wasn’t going to cut it, so I called my friend who is crazy about vacuuming and asked her to recommend an inexpensive model. She checked her old issues of Consumer Reports and gave me some options, both with a bag and bagless. In the past, I’d used a bagless vacuum but found emptying the chamber just produced another mess of dust and dirt to clean up, so I decided to go with this Hoover. I’ve had this vacuum for about a month and so far, no problems. I’ve used it on carpet and hardwood floors with success. Like any upright, it is slightly awkward to vacuum stairs but it wasn’t unmanageable and it worked well.
I bought it from Amazon because it was the best price I could find. Although the email from Amazon said that it would not ship for over a week, I actually received it in less than 3 days. A great surprise.
Buttons for Celebrate Everything
This is one of those rare products that promises the world and delivers. I use it all the time. The price is a little steep but if you have the money it is well worth it.

We got the Sunny Stroll Arch to use in the car on my daughter’s carseat. She loves looking and playing with it, but it does not stay on her carseat. The “claws” are too small. It definitely is a fun toy to distract a child who does not enjoy being in the carseat, but we are unable to use it unless someone is sitting in the back hold it in onto the carseat and that defeated our purpose of buying it.
