I Bought this one on a whim as my favorite authors seemed to have dried up a little. I’m so glad I did, it’s wonderful.

Jacob Jankowski is 93 (hr thinks) and in an old folks home put out to pasture. He has an enthralling story inside him that many of us only wish we had. Dropping out of college and running away with the circus as a young man, his story unfolds as a true adventure.

The circus of the 30’s is the back drop for this wonderful yarn and we follow Jacob as he navigates his way around the people, the lore, the language and the pecking order. All the characters are colorful and each brings a dimension to the story that has the reader turning pages as fast as possible. I think I blew through this one in two days. I might have done it in one had I not had commitments I had to keep.

The story is interspersed with up to date goings on at the old folks home the aged Jankowski is a resident of but, you can just tell his heart is still on the circus train of his youth. The end of the book is perfect in its simplicity and “rightness”.

To say I thoroughly enjoyed this book would somehow understate the whole experience, to say I loved it would be closer to the truth. If you want something to read that will draw you in like a moth to a flame, this might just be the book. If you want to be taken back to a bygone age of Americana complete with all its misgivings and mayhem, this might be the story. If you want to immerse yourself in a great story that, I hope becomes a movie, this IS the book.

From the description given of Water For Elephants I wasn’t sure I would like it, but was intrigued just the same. I am usually more of a horror fan, but to my surprise, I LOVED IT! Action packed, heartbreaking, and a little glimpse of what scares us all about growing older.
Wonderfully written and a definite page turn, you just can’t put down. I look forward to reading more works from Sara Gruen.

I should have paid more attention to the negative reviews: The third time I used this machine, it simply quit picking up its water. On a very hot, very humid day, I’m left with a wet rug. “Troubleshooting” in the manual told me to do what I’d already done; take off the inordinately picky-fitting water containers and try to reinstall….14 times. When I called the number listed on the machine (under the “do not return to the dealer” admonition), their computerized answer told me to take it to the nearest authorized dealer — an hour’s drive away. When I went to their website, “customer service” isn’t even on the front page. After I located it on the page for the specific category of product, I found nothing helpful. Their customer service motto seems to be “let ‘em eat cake.”

The first time I used this thing, it made six clean streaks in a very dirty off-white rug (my Bissell had died, too, of a different set of symptoms): That was how I learned to check the brush setting.

Also, its capacity is WAY too small for cleaning room-sized rugs. It took about 2 1/2 refills to do my bed/bath, using gross quantities of their cleaner in the process.

After a world’s record overnight delivery by the shipper, this has been a TOTAL disappointment! Even worse, the price has dropped since I bought it last month.

The story starts out in first person, with Bella moving to Forks, Washington to live with her father. Although this is a self less act letting her mom start a new life with her new husband. Bella does mope around to her self a lot, until she meets this mysteries good looking guy, Edward Collin. Bella is dumbfounded to think why Edward seems to hate her with only laying eyes upon her. After awhile Edward comes riding in on a white horse and saves Bella from a out of control car on ice! Does this break the ice? Nope. After saving her life he avoids her for weeks but then one night he comes trotting in once again this time saving her from some guys that are up to no good. Finally they become inseparable and soon Bella figures out his deep dark secret that could end up causing the end of her. Edward Collin is about 100 year old VAMPIRE.

In some ways this is the classic girl falls for vampire and other vampires want to kill the human girl story line but with some major differences like Twilight breaks every traditional vampire lore, this maybe could be over looked if perhaps the story would have been cleverly, well written but instead you have a bunch of words thrown together. A lot of vampires fans would not like reading this kind of vampire book, after all it’s no Anne Rice.
Don’t get me wrong I have read the Twilight series several times each but that’s is for the love story. And that is what this series is overall, a love story.
Ladies if you want a love story to read then go ahead a try twilight for yourself. Don’t expect to much action/fighting scenes.
Fellas well the lack of much action is what bores most of you, Twilight is a lot of talk leading up to disappointing action.

Wanna have even more FUN with loved ones? Wanna spend more time with someone, but can’t get past awkward conversations? Wanna stream movies and TV shows to your TV, as you like? Turn on the wii, baby (& get Netflix)! From canoeing with family members, to swordfighting with friends, to cow-racing with acquaintances, to watching old episodes of Fraggle Rock, wii will have you laughing, rowing, slashing, lassoing (a la Indy!), and yes, now watching for as long as you can stand it! We’ve had our wii about six months, and it just got better! We just started our Netflix subscription a few weeks ago, and we love that too! With a Netflix subscription that includes the ability to stream, if you’ve got an internet connection to your house, you can watch any one of TONS of movies and TV shows (stuff you can’t get on OnDemand!) My beau was especially excited about the 21 Jump Street Episodes Be prepared to spend more than just the purchase price for the wii – there are lots of fun extras that you kinda need, extra wii-motes and nun-chucks, in addition to the games (tip: always read the reviews on the games, I’ve bought a doozey or two, & if i had read the reviews here on amazon, I would have saved my $$ for a better game). But, if you have kids or you are even just a couple who goes out a lot, the wii (& now, netflix) may save you some money in the end, and you’ll spend more time together, doing fun stuff. And after all, isn’t that what life’s all about?

Thanks to wii and netflix, we eat at home more (saves money, gas, & calories); watch fewer commercials (they’re bad for the psyche AND the wallet!); are more active with our entertainment; spend more time with family & friends; spend less time aimlessly channel-surfing; enjoy more varieties of entertainment, like documentaries, old TV shows, and musician stuff; are more conservative with spending $7-15 per person to see a movie in the theatres (that we hopefully will enjoy!); and actually look forward to spending time at ho

Tripp Lite is a line that goes back to the 80’s. It is one of the few that can take a lightening strike. In the past, I and 2 friends had our equipment saved by Tripp Lite when we were hit by lightening. Tripp Lite is the only brand to buy.

Pedometer is easy to set up. I like having the secondary clip to hold it in place, and reduce the chance of losing it .
The multiple functions are easy to maneuver.

This product works great, the only thing I would change would be the size of the text on the screen. Otherwise this is a great product I would recommend it to anyone. I like the fact that I can see how many calories that I have burned off.
