Forty minutes ago, I got a real shock. My bare foot bumped into this scale and it bumped into the toilet. I heard an explosion, and the glass blew all over the bathroom floor, even out into the hall past the open bathroom door. By the way, I did not bump this with much force. I wasn’t running – more like shuffling. The noise was so loud, I was certain that somehow it was the toilet that cracked or blew a hole in it.
This scale is beautiful. It’s always worked. It seems accurate to me. But…
Both of my feet are bleeding on top of both my feet from shards so small, I don’t even know where they went. Both wounds look like pinholes, but you should have seen the blood gush. I’m sure I swept up most of the glass, but anything I missed will turn up in the next couple of days… in my feet!
Small and large chunks of crystalized glass are all over the place. I even took a couple of pictures in case anyone is interested. The entire top plate is exploded and the underlying plastic is in pieces, too, with wires dangling.
So, who is the maniac that designed this thing? It is dangerous if you have children, and it is dangerous for the elderly. It’s also dangerous if you rely on a blood supply. I bought this for my father to use as he’s 85 years old, and his weight changes are critical. Fortunately, he’s in the hospital now, so at least he’s safe from this thing!
I heartily recommend this product unless safety is a concern. Think I’ll buy another? Are ya nuts???!!!

I am 42 and was not going to read the book. After 2 very long years of friends telling me and pleading with me—I was weak and purchased the book. If you ever loved someone so much and missed them when they left the room-this book is for you. If you ever wanted to be loved by someone and he would save you-this book is for you. I am so very fortunate to have my very own Edward Cullen. We just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. I can not breathe when he is away from me. If you are in a loving relationship-this book is for you.

Outstanding price on this product. I am delighted with cleaner. It works much better than I expected. I have a Labrador retriever that likes to swim. She muddies up my car seats. I love the tools that came with the cleaner which I can use to keep my car looking spiffy again. A very good value.

The Wii is a great system for the young and old. I bought mine a year ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I use it just about every day! I’ve even had Wii parties where friends come over and we play Wii games. I’d highly recommend this system to anyone with families, single people, couples, or people with disabilities!!

I was optimistic, and I wasn’t let down! My only complaint was that the story was too short, I couldn’t wait to see what Artemis would be up to next. I would not compare this to Harry Potter. This story stands on its own, with plenty of installments to keep you reading and waiting on the next adventure. Always full of surpises, written very well.

Water for Elephants amazed me. It was not at all what I expected. I knew it was about a circus, and obviously for the title, an elephant was involved. What I was not prepared for however, was the cruelty it showed. And I don’t doubt for a minute, that even though this was fiction, that these atrocities didn’t happen in real circuses.
We are introduced to a death in the prologue. While it is fuzzy and hard to tell who’s who, we are witnesses to a scene that the narrator, Jacob, has viewed and never forgotten. Mayhem abounds as we discover that the menagerie of a circus is on the stampede.
We are then reintroduced to Jacob, many years later, as he is a resident at a nursing home. He is ninety three, or ninety one, he can’t keep it straight and a circus is in town and being set up within sight of the nursing home. This causes him to reminisce about his time spent with the Benzini Brothers circus.
As a runaway college student, after the death of his parents, he finds himself hopping a train that turns out to be part of the circus train. There, instead of being thrown off, he is taken in by an older man named Camel who secures him a job with the circus mucking stalls, which later turns into a position as the circus’s veterinarian.
He falls in love with Marlena, the wife of his schizophrenic boss August. While he keeps his love hidden, August, dangerous and unpredictable makes life tough for Jacob in the circus while in his better moments is a best friend to him.
He also makes the acquaintance of Walter, a dwarf clown whom he bunks with and together they help Camel in his time of need. He also makes an unlikely friend in Rosie, an elephant picked up from another failing circus whom he feels a bond with and devastation at her treatment from the cruel August.
Throughout the book it cuts back and forth from Jacob at the nursing home, to his reminisces of the circus and its happenings. One of the ending chapters recaps the prologue, only with more detail.

I have had my Kindle for about a month now. It is a great product. It makes reading on the treadmill much easier. The display size is a little small, however I like the overall size because I can easily carry it in my purse. I have not had any problems with wirelessly downloading books. Amazon’s website has many free books, however most of the free ones are the classics. Prior to the kindle, I was a frequent public library user. Since I have not been accustomed to paying for books to read, it is a little difficult for me to pay $10.00 for most newer ebook releases.
All in all, I love the Kindle and would recommend it to anyone.
