I just ordered my “EatSmart” Precision Digital Bathroom Scale and all I had to do was put in the AAA batteries and lay it on the floor. Quickly reads your weight, and with the lighted display, it’s SOOOOO easy to read even without my glasses! The price was under $30, too.

Just bought it a month ago and cleaned 7 rooms in my house with it and the carpets came out amazing!! Well worth the money when I would have spent a lot more for a professional to come in and do that many rooms. And I can continue to use it for years to come.

It’s a good product once you installed the software on your computer(s). Everything seems to work quite naturally.

The problem and frustration? I have 4 computers at home. No problem setting up Windows Home Server on my two Dell laptops (like a breeze), but no luck trying to set up WHS on my HP laptop, even though it belongs to the same brand as the HP EX485 server! I called the tech support at HP perhaps 4 times already. To their credit, the tech support folks are very friendly, and tried their best to help. But after trying every trick they can think of, my HP laptop still cannot install the WHS Connector. And I do mean EVERY TRICK (from disabling/uninstalling firewall/antivirus to modifying NetBIOS to setting up new user account to changing registry). The same non-descriptive error message shows up every time I tried to install the software.

At this point, I don’t know if the culprit is the HP home server or the Windows Home Server software (although I suspect the latter more). Either way, the experience has been decidedly mixed. I have never before had problem installing ANY software I want to install.

And by the way, my iMac with OS X 10.4 (Tiger) is not compatible with this server. You need at OS X 10.5 or higher.

From August 2009:
I’m still working out how I feel about this book. It was so well written, goes seamlessly between the past and the present. The love story (was it between he and Marlena or he and Rosie?) was lyrically written. The author did an amazing job of pulling me back and forth between the two. I even shed a few tears over a few different things. I’m not an animal activist, but certain parts of this book made me very uncomfortable. The history of the circus is pretty well known. We know the animals were mistreated (heck, they are today too), but the author writes so well about this subject that I found it hard to swallow that lump in my throat. It’s obvious she did some major research into the subject matter.

When I originally read the description for this book, it was on my “skip it” list, but a few of my friends read it and told me I “had” to read it. I’m so glad they did. This was a beautiful book and definitely in my top 10 for the year.

February 2010:
I read this one just six months ago but someone in my book club chose it so I decided to re-read it. It’s always interesting when I read a book a second time, especially if it was one that I really enjoyed (and this was definitely a book I enjoyed immensely.

I noticed things I didn’t notice in the first read, probably because I knew what was going to happen so I found a lot of the little quirky foreshadowing and things. The prologue, of course, caught me and a lot of “ahhh…” moments.

This is a book you must read. It really is that simple. I had looked at it a few times, but it really didn’t look like anything I would want to read, so I kept skipping it. A friend of mine insisted I read it last year and I’m glad she did. It’s absolutely wonderful! Read it.
