Common sense and farmgirl style combine in Mary Jane’s beautiful book. The magnets have the most lovely pictures of the farm (gorgeous photos are possibly the best part of any book from the farm) and the book is jam packed with lovely recipes, great ideas for home and personal style. My favorite part are the quote magnets!!! This would make a great introduction to farmgirl living or a sweet little gift- one warning, you will likely go back to order her other books, food, magazines,etc…
Mary Jane is one of a kind!

I have owned my Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer for nearly four years and it still works like the day I received it! I have attached this pedometer to my sock, waistband, carried it in my pocket (shirt and pants) and it has been very accurate and durable! I have owned several pedometers and I must say this one is by far the most accurate and well constructed one I’ve used over the years..others have come and gone but my Omron HJ-112 has been and still is my favorite pedometer to date. I have changed my battery three or four times since purchasing it nearly four years ago…not bad considering that it is used daily!

I owned one of the original kindles. I fell asleep on an airplane and it fell out of my hand and hit the arm rest cracking the screen. When I stopped for the 2 hr layover I had, I ordered a global kindle from Amazon. Since I was on my way to Mexico I had it shipped to my condo there. It arrived safely and with the use of the NEW global capabilities the tech support gentleman at Amazon wirelessly sent all of my downloaded books to my new Kindle. I love it and your customer service is great.

Catcher in the Rye has many relevant meanings for the teenagers of today. Holden Caufield’s confusions and frustrations are those of most teenagers who want to connect with other people and belong to a certain social quota. J.D Salinger presents to us a novel full of symbolism, imagery, and adolescent complexity that fufills it’s overall goals of giving us a glimpse into the life and psyche of a troubled and disturbed teenager who tries making connections with people he doesn’t know ending up in, as mean as this may sound, humorous failed attempts. The overall theme in this novel doesn’t comply any moral as did Ovid’s fables back in ancient Greece. Catcher in the Rye tends to be more interpretive in that manner. Holden’s inability to truly connect with people is due to his inability to immature and let go of pain.
“People never notice anything” (Pg 9). It’s in this quote that we really see what type of person Holden really is. Nobody around Holden seems to understand him, seems to understand his angers and confusions. Everyone is just as about as “phony as he is”. It’s in these beginning chapters we notice that something is wrong with Holden. something that doesn’t quite match up. He’s a white male with well-off parents that can afford to send him off to boarding school and he purposefully flunks out by not even attempting to study. It’s not until later on in the novel that we learn of James Castle and his brother Allie that there is a reason for this rebellion and personal wall that he has erected for himself. It’s how Holden breaks this wall that makes this book powerful and a very compelling and humorous read.

This is truly one of the best book I’ve read in a long time. Growing in the north, I had no idea what life was like in the south. Sure I’d heard of the civil rights movement but it wasn’t something we northerners, particularly the Northwest where I’m from, had never really understood. Kathryn Stockett’s debut novel gives us a glimpse into the lives of both the black maids and the white women they worked for in a way leaves judgment up the reader. It was amazing to me that the white women were afraid that the black women who raised their babies and cooked for them, were carrying some sort of special germs, and therefore should have not be allowed to use the same bathrooms. Held hostage by the unspoken rules they’d grown up with, both the black and the whites of this story fear breaking out and doing things differently.
I was spellbound by the story, by the new world I was allowed to enter and the characters who I learned to care deeply for. This is a book that someone recommended to me and I’m so glad they did. Now I’m going to do the same for all my friends. Bravo Kathryn! If this is your debut novel, I wish you a long and fruitful writing career, and I’m going to buy every one of your books.

I HATE THIS PRODUCT!!! Is not compatible with earlier version! Can’t make revisions to “compatibility version,” everything’s deleted when it’s closed. Power Point doesn’t have same WordArt options as older version, so again can’t transfer. Means all my old ppt versions have to be converted & then are not “showable” on other computers with old version!

I purchased a Wii console from Amazon after searching. So many places were out of them and I put it on my Wish List. I received a text the next week and quickly purchased it. It was delivered the very next day. I love my Wii. I’ve purchased the Wii Fit Plus and play on that almost every day. It’s loads of fun and I don’t feel like I’m working out. I’m glad I bought this for myself.

This book was interesting and exciting. Artemis is a very believable character and made even funnier by the fact he is a child. Anyone that likes books on faeries and mystery will love this book.
