I bought this after my seat/seat post were stolen. This might slow down theives. They’d have to carry bolt cutters to steal your seat, and that’d make them sorta comspicuous. I figure this is the best you can hope for on seat protection that is easy enough to use all the time. I hate thieves. Should shoot them, but you can’t.

Garmin watch is great for runners. If you use the software and online features, its definitely worth the money. The only setback is that the satellite can take 15-20 seconds to start sending signals to watch in some situations. It happens randomly and I can’t really explain it. I’ve gotten signal immediately while sitting in my house but had to wait up to a minute standing outside on a clear, sunny day.

I have two cats–one short haired and one long haired Maine Coon cat. This works ok on my short haired cat, no better or no worse than a regular pet comb or brush, but he doesn’t really have a lot of extra fur. However, it is quite a different story for my Maine Coon! On the very first pass with the Furminator, I was able to extract more fur than I would be able to get with half an hours worth of work with my old cat brush! Wow, the amount of hair that came off this cat was amazing! I honestly do not know how he has any hair left! I’ve only used this tool once (today) but I expect there will be A LOT less fur on the couches by next week–after all, how much more fur can this cat have! I’d say I took at least 1 grocery bag full of hair off this cat today. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this tool! Great buy at any price!

This one kept appearing in my recommended reads but I kept putting it off. I am now delighted to have read it. Easy to read and powerful in its simplicity, I engaged with the characters…feeling intense hate for some and pain and compassion and hope for others. I both laughed and cried. Well done Kathryn, an excellent book, not entirely ficticious.
Spinner Fit Spin Bike
The pro and con of this machine is the same for me: it’s strong enough to return even the densest rug to upright; however, it is also strong enough to grab upholstery and literally burn a hole in it. I love the value, but it’s definitely rudimentary – no bells and whistles. Also, mine just died after 2 years of use. the motor burned up. (I’ve avoided anything that could get snagged ever since that couch mishap so I don’t know why it burned up.) I will probably buy another one since it really does work great for a great price.
BIKE BAPH50 Adult Muscle
This is one of those books that I don’t want to analyse too much because I fell in love with the characters instantly and care too much about them. The three main characters are wonderfully flawed and human, intelligent, wise, clever, funny, loving, just adorable. The supporting and peripheral characters are equally interesting except for the main antagonist who I wish were a little less one dimensional, which, in my opinion, would have avoided the flavor of Hallmark TV movie. The precarious setting of the 60’s in American politics, not limited to civil rights movement, experienced by the South provides complexity to the collective and individual neurosis. I love the cover which captures the essence of the story, and the author’s own words that add personal history and heartfelt sincerity to the story.

I bought this book just a week or so before Salinger died. I finished the book I was reading a few days after his passing and decided to finally read this alleged masterpiece — and masterpiece it is, indeed. I wish I would have read it when I was 17, but alas, I waited until age 31. Nevertheless, I remember what it was like to be 17, and honestly, I related to the character Holden Caulfield a lot today; even as a married father and professional “phony.” I can only imagine how utterly groundbreaking this book must have been when it was first published in 1951.
What I loved about the book: I could say “everything,” because I did, but I’ll give a few specifics. First, I loved the voice in which it was written. Holden is sarcastic, snotty, and just way too cool for almost everything — just like I was when I was 17. I loved the exaggerations and hyperbole. I identified with his descent into near-madness, being in that awkward stage between childhood and adulthood, not knowing what to do, not really understanding or not wanting to deal with the consequences of your actions, really just not being ready to grow up. As Holden wanders New York in a sleep-deprived stupor, he explores these issues within his mind; he jumps from one feeling to another, and breaks down and cries more than once. It truly is a powerful novel, and one of the three best I’ve ever read. Five stars all the way.
The book is just 214 pages and a breeze to read. If you haven’t read it, you should. I’ve been reading a lot of “classic” novels lately and this is the first one that I know for a fact I will be reading again in the future. I could see myself reading this every couple of years for the rest of my life — it was that good.
