Nice enough e-reader but the inability to access library books is a bummer. Why “buy” a book and not be able to share it. I can loan a hard copy of a purchased book to anybody. This product is way to restrictive. I returned it! Amazon e-books are very expensive. I don’t get it….no printing or distribution cost.

The is one of the best books I have read in a very long time. I have already loaned it out to a friend to read, and it was recommended to me. Thank goodness the author has taken the time and effort to bring the role of the Negro maid to the attention of us all.
CASIO Black Baby G

Our daughter really enjoyed this computer playset when she was a few months old, less so now (she is about to turn 10 months) but even very early on she was able to detach the various bits herself (those attached with velcro) and so had to be monitored as everything would go into the mouth. Consequently, the smaller items were frequently being put out of reach which diminished her fun somewhat as there isn’t that much to engage with overall. Nice idea but limiting.

I bought this for my Nikon coolpix L110. It works extremely well and I would highly recommend it. Good price.

This is a very good book. It’s a fast read, despite its mammoth size. Granted, it’s no “It” by Stephen King, but it’s a pretty big book at a whopping 498 pages. I think this book could have been a lot better if it had been about a hundred pages less. Here’s my simple breakdown:

PROS:
The book reads fast, so each chapter seems to fly by. The relationships between the characters are real, the dialogue feels real, even the love seems real. Realism keeps a reader glued to the book & this book – despite its obvious vampire plot – is very realistic. It’s also very well written. Stephanie Meyer doesn’t say in ten sentences what she can say in five, and she doesn’t say in five what she can say in one. She’s succinct and an incredible writer. Most of the time. This makes for a quick and satisfying read, with all Bella & Edward’s high highs and low lows feeling familiar and plausible.

CONS:
Too much repetition. In attempt to posit the awkward, clumsy, and so-not-a-supermodel Bella against the suave, uber-hunk vampire Edward, Stephanie Meyer goes too far. My head started to swim after awhile with all the repetition. It’s like this: Bella sees Edward; he’s so handsome and suave and she’s such an awkward clutz! Things are awkward. Then Bella goes home & things with her dad are awkward. Then she goes to school, where, you guessed it, things are awkward. There’s also too much focus on Edward’s good looks. I found it to be clunky and expositional. Edward speaks from ruby red lips and his muscled arms and his chiseled chest, etc. etc. We get it: she’s average at best and he’s just the bee’s knees. We get it.

Also (and this didn’t bother me too much but I feel I have to include it in the “cons” section), I thought that for a downtrodden, sullen, loner with low self-esteem Bella acted awfully rude and arrogant to the kids at her school who were only trying to be nice and befriend her. You can’t get mad that you have no friends and no one understands you when you detach from everyo
Dream Baby Angle Locks

It doesn’t seem to work as well in the pockets of women’s clothing as it does in mens—possibly due to womens pockets are not as deep and does not catch the movement action as well as those in men’s going lower on the leg.
Annabel Karmel Baby Food

This is by far the best book I have read yet this year. Bravo! I have been waiting for a book as good as this for a long time. Tears, laughter, romance, suspense…this book has it all. It is also very tactfully written. Not a lot of cursing, sex, etc. Just a great story, and a great look into our past as a nation.
DwellStudio Baby Transportation Stroller

I have to admit to being skeptical of this product after reading all the references to creamsicles! After all it does seem kind of funny to me that an organic all natural product would smell like an artificial sweet treat, but anyway, I do like it. It has a unique smell, a hint of citrus tempered with–something else. I like how it feels on my skin and my son’s skin. It is not greasy and seems to soak in fairly quickly. I like knowing that there is nothing bad in it (parabens, etc.,) and I can definitely see a difference in my boy’s skin. We moved from the humid East Coast to the bone dry Rockies and it was taking a toll on both of us (especially my hands). Now I use this lotion after his bath and he sits still for almost the whole time and I get to moisturize my hands while I take care of him. Also, the 8oz is lasting a lot better than I thought it would. I am looking forward to trying more of their products.
Earth Mama Angel Baby

California Baby Citronella Bug We love this product because it is safe for kids and DEET free. One downside is that it does have a very strong lemon smell but if you don’t mind that it is a great lotion for kids. 6.5 oz / 195 …
