I bought the bigger furminator this time because I had the smaller one and figured that the bigger one would be better. That isnt the case, the bigger one was harder to use and didnt remove as much hair as the smaller one. I was using them on both on a Yellow Lab, so I figured it wouldn’t matter, but I will stick w/the smaller one its by far the best one! Go smaller!

This is a great air purifier! The uvc light bulb is huge compared to the one in the Germ Guardian GG1000 I have in my bedroom. Both work well. I got the ionic pro because I wanted an air purifier for the dining room and had no wall space for another GG1000. This is a student house and we have our windows closed and sealed for the winter meaning cooking and other smells linger and the air tends to get fusty. Not anymore! I have the fan set on medium with the unit on 24/7 and that is enough to keep the air clean and fresh. Another plus is that the light bulb is replaceable.

Ionic Pro Therapure 100

We bought this for a 12 year old boy who has never had a Ipod or Itouch. He loves it! Easy to use, figure out, good parental controls. Lots of free apps.

I won’t go into a long review here– I read mostly non-fiction because fiction typically bores me. About 10-20% of the time, though, I like to switch to fiction to enjoy “lighter” reading than the non-fiction I typically read. I picked up Catcher in the Rye in a bookstore on a whim the other day. It really, really blew me away! I NEVER laugh out loud when I’m reading, and I must’ve literally laughed outloud several dozen times when reading this book. It was SO funny! And just brilliantly written, enjoyable to read, fun but serious at times, etc. Just a great book, a classic, and one that I should’ve read earlier in life (I’m 37 now). I will likely re-read it every few years just to remind myself how much of a page-turner it was…

Love my pedometer. Very easy to scan thru different functions. Make sure you get your stride correct to get an accurate mileage count.

I bought the Kindle 2 back in 2009 for $400. At the time I justified the purchase with the idea that books would be cheaper on the Kindle 2 and I would not have to pay for shipping and handling. However, kindle books are not significantly cheaper on amazon. The kindle equivalent of a hard cover is usually significantly discounted, yet the kindle equivalent of a paperback is barely discounted. Therefore I would not suggest getting a kindle if you intend to read paperbacks.

In addition the kindle interface is clunky. The screen loads slowly and if you have a lot of books it is very annoying to navigate through your library. Another huge problem is that if you lose your kindle you lose all your books. Kindle books are not in a standard ebook reader format, this forces you to get another kindle when something happens to your kindle.

Most importantly the kindle’s battery has a tendency to break. It seems that this is a fairly common problem. When I contacted kindle support they tried two ways to reset the kindle and then informed me that I would have to get a new kindle. It seems ridiculous to me that they do not offer to repair your kindle. If the battery in your laptop breaks you can send it back to the manufacturer to get a new battery. Even if your laptop is out of warranty you pay a small fee to get it serviced. It is illogical to me that I can’t pay for a new battery instead of having to buy a new kindle.

There are many ebook readers available and the Kindle is one of the most expensive of all the ebook readers(some are as low $90).I strongly suggest that you shop around before purchasing a kindle.

I recently ordered this scale to replace my 20 year old spring scale and am very disappointed with it’s accuracy. Although my bathroom is only 8 square feet, I get 3 different readings as I move the scale around to different places on the floor. The readings vary by about 5 lbs! I am hoping the lowest one is the most accurate, but I really don’t know.

ASSEMBLY HELP IF YOU HAVE LEAKING….
So I had the major leaking once put together problem that many had. It seemed as if the clean surge button was “stuck” in place, despite doing the depressing of it with the trigger as stated and the trigger didn’t seem to be working properly either. SO I took the handle back OFF the cleaner, wiggled the “bars” inside the handle that work the buttons, one shoud be much lower then the other or it won’t work, so pulled that bar down and wiggled it a bit, and then slowly put the handle back on, making sure the bars hit the spots they were supposed to (tried the buttons after setting handle on before screwing it back together) once buttons seemed to be working normally, then put the screws back in and depressed the trigger and clean surge button as stated in directions and put the tanks back on, hoping like HECK it was going to stop leaking so I could clean the floors as planned today, and it did!!! I was beyond excited. No more leaking and a sparkling clean house. ) I had the previous model of this cleaner for over 4 years before the motor started to go and it always worked wonderfully. For someone in a small apartment with several animals, 2 crazy boys and dirt, cat pee and cat puke galor, this is the cleaner for me!

I recently started trail running and the Forerunner 305 has been great! It is nice to see how far you have run and see a total of miles for the week or month on the computer screen after downloading. I haven’t gotten into to evaluating my heart rate yet and I know there are many more options to learn about but for now this is a great tool for novice to expert. Oh and I even got lost when I ventured off the trail and was able to find my way back to my car by using the navi directional arrow! Awesome!
