Purchased this for my folks based on the reviews here… and I was happy I did! My mom said she never tasted cheese that was so yummy! Now I need one for myself. Also, she said the dark chocolate that came with this was out of this world.

Since it’s right before Mother’s Day, and the one-year anniversary of my Kindle gift, I thought I’d finally write a review.

I want to start by saying I love books, real paper books that I can shelve and admire and flip through. I love cover art and bookstores, libraries and author signings, dust jackets and alphabetizing my collection. So when I first received a Sony ereader 3 years ago I resisted it just on principle. Over the past 3 years as people have commented on the sony and later on the kindle, they’ve frequently mentioned their attachment to the paper book and how they just can’t give that up. After three years I can say the number of “real” books I’ve purchased has not declined a bit and I have, in fact, purchased hard copies of books I loved on my kindle. For me, this is not a replacement of the book; simply a new way of interacting with the written word.

So what first made me embrace the ebook? A baby. Do you know how hard it is to nurse and turn pages? And when you have to pace the house wearing a sling because it’s the only way your newborn will sleep, do you know the sound of a turning page could be enough to wake them up? But the real savior, the thing I shouldn’t admit because I’m sure it’s not safe, when you’re taking all those stroller walks to burn off the pregnancy pounds and want to read at the same time the book can sit right on top of the visor and, because of the epaper technology, can be read in direct sunlight. There are times when it’s best to not have to turn pages: pushing a stroller, working out, driving, in the middle of the night next to a sleeping spouse or infant, and it’s these times I’m most thankful for an ebook.

Now, why is the Kindle2 better than the others? I can only speak to the Sony ereader but there was no contest here. First as a Mac user I had no easy way to download new books. I had to sign on to another computer, remember passwords and find the cord I continually lost to connect it and I usua

I have two long haired cats, one of which does not groom herself. She gets nasty mats in her fur that I usually end up shaving off. She hates any kind of brush or grooming tool and hates it when I try to clean her. Fun, right? As a result, I’m only able to groom her for shorts amount of time and the FURminator allows me to do the most in the shortest amount of time and she actually tolerates it for a little bit before getting upset with me. It does make a bit of a mess with all of the fur, but it is manageable if you’re careful. Best grooming tool EVER.

I’ve had mine for about three years now. When mom wanted to get a similar cleaner, I made sure she bought exactly this one. Whether the new ones are improved, I don’t know, what I do know is this one works.

I just went through an awful period of an aging dog who had to be put to sleep just last week. He was losing control of bladder and bowels and had a cancer growing in his lungs causing him to cough up some really awful stuff. I didn’t even always have time to use heated water. The Hoover was standing by all the time. Even with cold solution, the cleaning was amazing. If you saw the carpet now, you’d never have a clue I had a sick, dying dog spitting up and having “accidents” all over the place.

I think my only complaint is that the top, curved, plastic part where the fluid is sucked up out of the carpet tends to clog with carpet fibers, pet hair, the like (no matter how well you vacuum first). However, I discovered it’s held in place by only three screws that are easily removed and then easily cleaned.

I paid about twice what they cost now. Still worth every dime.

I feel some people are too strict with the “historical inaccuracies” and the “depiction of the animals”, etc. Unless you worked in a circus during the 1930s, are a circus historian or take yourself too seriously, you probably won’t even notice or won’t care about those things. It’s a great novel, interesting story and reads like a movie. I couldn’t put it down. If you’re looking for hard-core facts, read a non-fiction. If you’re looking for a fun, enjoyable read that will leave you with a smile on your face, you won’t be dissapointed!

This vacuum makes a bigger mess than you started with when you use it on wood/hard floors. I used it on our wood floors & it actually shot the dirt all over the place. It probably took me 5 times longer to vacuum than normal & it didn’t even pick everything up. It did work great on our carpet. Over half of our house has wood floors so this isn’t the vacuum for us.
