This book is just like reading about the maids here in Colombia.
When I married a Colombian and came to live here 34 years ago a wise man told me this:-
There is something you must understand about Colombia. The majority rich people (ie the ones who can afford a maid which is VERY cheap) will not lend their maids their car, but they DO let them bring up their children. That is still true today. In my case I always did everything for my babies but have had help from some wonderful wise women, who without the benefit of education and heartbreakingly hard lives have made my life so much better here in Colombia. My two maids are definitely my best friends and I try to help them as much they help me.

This worked great on my dog. I could not believe all the hair that came out. It got all the dead hair out, and now there is a shiny coat.

Amazon had great service with fast shipping….that’s the positive.
I purchased this toolbox because of the great reviews, and as long as the tool box is sitting safely on a shelf, it wouldn’t be too bad. However, the first time it tips over, or is accidently bumped into, the thin metal will dent. After I filled the box with tools, it slipped off of my porch step (about twelve inches), and buckled the metal, and bent the whole box out of shape. Now the drawers won’t shut closed, and has become a hazard when carrying around. This is something I should have expected from a MADE IN CHINA product, and wouldn’t have purchased it if I had known. Spend the extra $ for a good MADE IN USA product (if you can find one now days).

I feel compelled to write a review of this vacuum because it truly does a great job and leaves a minimal mark on the pocketbook. This thing has great suction and includes a comprehensive set of accessories, to make cleaning different surfaces a breeze. It feels solidly built. After looking at vacuum cleaners in department stores that looked cheap and cost twice the price, I am very happy that I ended up purchasing this vacuum online. I also ordered online some extra belts and bags, so I feel that my house cleaning situation will be covered for at least a couple of years before I have to go out and buy anything vacuum-related. Thanks Hoover and Amazon for saving me time and money!

There is nothing you need to do for set up except clip your Garmin onto it. The ease of that part is great. It stays where you set it and when you get out of your car you can easily put it in a bag or console for keeping it safe. I highly recommend this product if you have the need for a mount that is easy to use.

OK, I knew it wasn’t the biggest digital readout when I bought it.
However, it really is way too small to read easily. The main reason
I got it was because I want to wear it while I swim and I don’t want
to have to change batteries (after a battery change, watches seldom
seem to be waterproof). However, the stopwatch is part of the digital
readout and is too small to read while swimming.

I recently ordered this scale to replace my 20 year old spring scale and am very disappointed with it’s accuracy. Although my bathroom is only 8 square feet, I get 3 different readings as I move the scale around to different places on the floor. The readings vary by about 5 lbs! I am hoping the lowest one is the most accurate, but I really don’t know.

MS 2007 OFFICE PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE: I had read other reviews of the new version and with talking with others decided I would have to upgrade from 2003 Office Pro to Office Pro 2007. Yes, I am starting to love it… but why do they not tell you where the print button is? It is hidden under the icon on the top left! It sure has many bells and whistles. The learning curve took my productivity from 100% to 25% for about two weeks. But now that has passed I am back up and running again. I am in my fifties and so maybe if you are older thinking you can’t learn… well you can! Just have patience and lots of time on weekends to go through stuff. I did hope I would maybe get on offer to upgrade cheaper to Office Pro 2010 since that just came out… but to date have not gotten that. All in all I would upgrade because sooner or later you just have to keep up with the times.
