Do what you want, no guilt, nothing is right or wrong. No commitments, just feel good. Tired of your partner? Just get a new one. Everyone else is okay unless they’re trying to get you to do something you don’t want to do.

This moral relativism is leading our society down the path of decline. Whether you are a Jew, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or agnostic, life is enhanced by some self-discipline and guts to stand for something. There is good and evil in the world, right and wrong. If we don’t stand up for it, we’ll descend into a pile of garbage. This is a rehash of the 60’s philosophy of do your own thing, free sex, drugs, feel good, it doesn’t hurt any one but me. These are all lies that degrade our society. If you don’t believe it, teach school for a while. See the hippy grandchildren paying the price for the selfish drug induced excess of their parents and grandparents. We’ve been there done that. It wasn’t very pretty. I didn’t buy it then and I’m not buying it now.

Give me individuals who believe in hard work, discipline, saving rather than spending, community service, a view that goes beyond their own noses and pleasures. That’s what makes a society and its people great. Get out and do something for someone and most the neurotic worries about self will disappear. That’s what is basic to all major religions. They have survived for millennia because they work and will long outlast Mr. Walsch. I’m far from perfect, but I know wisdom when I see it. This isn’t it.

In the beginning of Water For Elephants Jacob Jankowski tells us that he is 90 or 93 (who can really be certain anymore?) His body betrayed him years ago and Jacob now fears that his mind isn’t far behind. Shuffling along miserably behind his walker, he’s living out his final days in the nursing home and hating every minute of it. Just another invisible senior citizen who’s family and the world as a whole has forgotten about.

When the circus comes to town and sets up its Big Top tents across the street Jacob comes alive and through a series of flashbacks begins to tell us his life’s story. Taking us back to when he joined the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show On Earth, a traveling circus he toured with during the great depression.

At the age of 23 Jacob had a predictable future set out ahead of him, one that certainly didn’t involve joining the circus. However with his parents untimely death and the bank foreclosing on his family home Jacob soon finds himself homeless, heartbroken and mentally quite unable to sit his final veterinary exams. When an exotic, animal filled train steams toward him Jacob doesn’t even think. Flinging himself aboard the boxcar and inadvertently changing his destiny forever.

I absolutely adored this book, alternately falling in love with both Jacob, the crotchety old man and Jacob, the young, moral and penniless circus veterinarian. Water For Elephants transported me to another time and quickly became one of those books I never wanted to end.

Author Sara Gruen has researched the depression era circus life down to the smallest of details and I feel that this captivating and vivid story will appeal to almost anyone.Filled with action, adventure and a sweet forbidden romance there is also a fascinating sideshow of secondary characters including a clever Polish Elephant, a grouchy little person as Jacob’s roommate and a cruel and schizophrenic animal trainer whose wife Jacob just happens to fall in love with. All of this has been w

Kind of like a spoonful of lo-cal “sugar” for the weight conscious. Straightforward and accurate. Step on the scale and see your weight to the nearest two-tenths of a pound, which I really appreciate over having your weight round up or down to the nearest half pound. Virtually instant readout on your weight and easy on the eyes in more than one way–it’s easy to read and looks great, too. Only con…since it has a glass platform and I have a white bathroom floor, it reminds me of the fact that I need to clean the bathroom floor more than I would like to. :) Great price, great scale, great buy!

I was drawn in by all of the fantastic reviews and I admit I didn’t dig a little deeper. I’m warning anyone African-American that this book is painful to read and it has triggers aplenty. Stockett’s use of lines like “Black as ” were just tough to get through. Yes it was in Mississippi and the characters that made the observations were black so she tried to cover her tracks but she should not fool herself: it still comes from a white woman. And it still hurts.

I know it’s about context and it was part of the time but we all seem to forget that it was not that long ago. It also wasn’t exclusive to the South. My Grandmother was one of four maids that worked for the Pew family in Pa well into the 80s. That was no picnic. All good intentions aside, those words are still fresh and generations will still have scars hundred years from now. The pain is that deep.

The language she uses is upsetting and I almost stopped reading it offended me so badly. However, some stubborn part of me has to see things through because I was afraid that maybe I was wrong about the book. Turns out I wasn’t.
I gave this book three stars because the story was so touching, despite these major shortcomings. I was personally invested in the characters, even Hilly, who was so wrapped up in her own power and troubles she needed to control the world around her. Skeeter was sort of a sore spot for me. The way she kept coming to halfway conclusions about what was happening around her, but dropping the line of thought before it made her too uncomfortable. From her mother to Ablieen and Minny, she knew it was wrong but wouldn’t let herself feel it, which was disappointing.

In the end I had many different feelings while reading this book. I wonder at these women, the black community the way it was, so united and helpful to each other. The way it is so different now, everyone thinking of themselves. How more and more allies are standing up to those who still think that peop
