I know people are going to show up at my house with pitch forks, but I really wasn’t into this book. The idea of someone constantly watching me, even when I’m sleeping, is not love to me but stalking. I also found the story rather predictable.
Superior Quality Replacement Battery
I got this for my grandkids but after reading it, I actually tore it up and threw it into the recycle. It’s that bad.
The “hero” is a brat who treats everyone and everything as secondary to whatever he personally wants at any given moment and he learns nothing to the contrary from his escapades.
The mythology is a mess. Fairies … traditionally associated with forests and streams … have chosen to live in underground tunnels like moles. Huh?
They not only have magic, but also no discernible civilization or genius, yet have somehow developed technology way beyond ours. Puh-leeze.
They not only have magic and superior technology, but also are just as petty, power hungry and generally unpleasant as humans, yet they HIDE rather than try to dominate at least SOME of the upper world? Riiight.
Centaurs … HUGE, noble star-gazers, right? Here, Foaly is living in tunnels with 3 foot tall fairies, to whom he is the subservient techno-nerd. Suuuuure.
And did I mention the hero is a rich, spoiled, morally challenged bully who wins in the end? YUCK!

Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS Receiver With Heart Rate Monitor
This Garmin Forerunner 305 is the best!! I don’t leave home without it!! It keep track of everything! I don’t have to worry about how many calories I burn I know what I have burned with the 305. It is exactly correct on the miles I run. I love the way you can download your progress on your computer without having to be online. I do a lot of 5 and 10k runs so this is very much needed to help me keep track of my progress. It is a great product for advanced runners, I do recommend this product to any runner that wants to keep up with their progress. Awesome product.
Music Is Form DVD
Set up was minimal and easy. After setting, I marked off a distance of .5 miles from my house (by car odometer), then walked it with this new pedometer. It was right on target! Now I know how far I’m walking during a round of golf and I can safely say “It is too excercise!”

The author of this novel is a White woman … but she tells her story using the voice of a Black woman. I feel disturbed by the fact that this White woman thinks that she can do justice to a Black woman’s voice and identity. When I began the book, I was noticeably put off by this main character … and then I found out that the author was White. It’s no wonder then that the authenticity seemed so suspect to me. Frankly I feel angry and disgusted by this book. Published just last year, it’s not as if she were a deluded author from times past who made such demeaning and insulting choices. Why not write the book using the voice of a White person? Why do White people take for granted that they can even begin to fully understand, much less speak from, the deep and racialized perspectives and experiences of Black people?
Not okay!!! Not okay AT ALL!!!!! >:/
How s Your Dog
I was hesitant to buy a steam cleaner, but after researching it I picked this one and am I glad I did! It works great!!! Better than I ever thought possible for a home unit. The only thing that is missing would be a bare floor accessory and something to do walls with also it could come apart for stairs because it is a little tricky taking it up and down the steps. Other than that this SteamVac is perfect!

This pedometer is great. It is small enough to easily fit in a pocket. Counts steps accurately when placed in pocket, purse or bag. Pedometer also indiates number of steps that are aerobic. I have not had any problems with this falling out of a pocket. The leash with clip that comes with the pedometer works very well. I have carried pedometer several times all day with leash clipped to clothing (outside of a pocket) and clip has not come off. Have worn the pedometer in pocket with least clipped to clothing while working out in cardio class and leash stays attached.

I’ve been running with the Forerunner 305 now for a month. I wanted something that would accurately tell me distance and pace, and the 305 does that beautifully. The HRM works well. The battery life isn’t great, but it doesn’t matter as long as you charge it occasionally, and it fully charges quickly.
I can’t comment on the long term reliability, but so far I love it.

How I loved this read. Jacob is so sweet and impressionable but he still knows what is right and what he wants. I didnt want to put it down but then I didnt want it to end either.
I recommend this book to anyone.
