Doodlebops Plastic Tablecover

I have never written a review before, but could NOT stop myself this time. I have been a skeptic of home carpet cleaners for years, convinced in my own mind that they could never be as effective at cleaning and extracting as the truck mounted steam units we used to schedule to come clean carpets. Each trip was over $100 for just a couple of rooms, and with six – eight hours for drying, it was an ordeal. The last few times I had the company come, I found areas of saturation in some places, areas that were virtually dry in others when they were gone. It seemed they were in and out of my house in twenty minutes, just having basically “swiped” my carpets quickly and left. I began to wonder if I would ever enjoy clean carpets again.

Then I visited my brother at his out of town home, having planned the trip well in advance. He is a hoarder, basically, with kids and dogs to boot, so I was used to his carpets looking more like dirt than carpets. Imagine my surprise when I arrived and the house was cleaned up and his carpet looked fantastic! I asked him how he did it, and he pointed to his Hoover spin scrub carpet cleaner. I decided it was time to take the plunge. I researched over and over the available models and chose the F5914-900. I picked it up at Walmart and brought it home.

True to the word, in 15 minutes and with a screwdriver, I had it assembled. I cleaned my carpets according to the directions, and waited for the ultimate test. The ultimate test, in my mind, would be this: Once the carpets were dry, I would vacuum with my Kenmore Intelli-clean vacuum. This vacuum has sensors that cause lights to flash (red for really dirty, yellow when it gets better, etc.) when you are vacuuming and picking up dirt and debris. When all dirt and debris is gone, the lights go green and the motor slows, telling you to move on to another area to clean. I had vacuumed after Stanley Steemer many times and had never acheived the green lights. I waited only a couple

I had somehow lost the original attachment, and could not find a replacement till now. This one fit my XL perfectly, and I think it works better than the original.

I purchased this last christmas and still use it all the time.
I don’t need to worry about where I am going to store my books now.

I would have liked to have been able compare the quality of this set to others, but was unable to find them locally. Instead I used the reviews here and elsewhere to come to a purchasing decision. Considering that, I’m very pleased with these headphones. I bought them primarily for watching TV when walking and running on the treadmill. (Treadmill is on the porch – neighbor didn’t want to listen to my TV!) Reception is clear and range is as advertised with little drop out even while outdoors and using the living room TV. My only complaint would be that while very comfortable on my head, they slip forward when I lean over. Some of the other reviewers have noted the same thing. All in all, except for that one flaw, I think they are perfect for my purposes.

This scale is just perfect: step on it and you get an accurate reading, every time. You can even use it in the dark (for those who are obsessive about checking their weight)!

It does what it is supposed to do, and does it very well. It doesn’t have extras like memory of your previous measurement, or a fat calculator, or those other things, but I don’t need them. I’m very glad it’s just step on and go – I sometimes have had problems with the “tap on” ones – so this scale deserves the full 5 stars. Thanks, EatSmart!

It seems like just yesterday when I purchased “Water for Elephants” from a heap of bargain books at the local warehouse store….(FLASHBACK WAVY LINES)

“Wow, a book about the circus, this looks like it could be good,” I say enthusiastically. “Oh, It is! Here let me buy that for you,” responds some random guy beside me. “Who are you?” I ask. Random guy replies, “I am a character introduced for no other reason than to move your story along.” “But who needs that,” I say, “when I have such tools as the flashback, voice over, and scene cut?” (SCENE CUT)

I am reading this book at home and I start to wonder how it is that this book became a best seller. Moving the plot along and keeping the reader interested seem more important than things like characterization and description. Its reads more like a screenplay than a novel. I am confused. (SCENE CUT)

I eat a sandwich. I am happy. (SCENE CUT)

Now I am furious. I throw the book across the room and rip at my hair.
(VOICE OVER) I know my actions seem strange and melodramatic, but I needed some conflict and tension here. (SCENE CUT)

So here I am in the present day, and looking back, I must say I loved it – the sandwich that is!

I am so happy with my IPod Touch!! I looked around for months Amazon had the cheepest price for this quality product. I recomend Amazon to all my friends when they purchase anything.. 5 star plus to Amazon and IPod touch!!

I am a die hard bibliophile. I love the feel of a book in my hands. But living in a small apartment, space is at a premium, and my library would suffer otherwise if not for my Kindle. I have my shelves reserved for my “special” books. Everything else goes on my Kindle. The battery life is wonderful. It is easy on the eyes. It is the perfect size. It even plays my audible books. And I was able to load it up with books before it even arrived! I would definitely recommend it.

I love my Touch. Its very hand and is great to check mail and the web. I love that I can listen to some video podcasts. I wish the Battery worked better. I need to test it to make sure the battery is good but it doesn’t seem to last as long is it should. Get yourself a good case. I bought one and am really dissapointed it way to loose and the back has gotten all scuffed up. It may cost you. Mine was about $15 from walmart but isn’t worth $4 in my opion since it doesn’t work well its works about as well as one you get for free. Read reviews and pay a little more. Unless you don’t care how the back looks or will resell in the future. Its still work the price though because it will protect your ipod in case its droped. Mine has helped there from a small drop. Which I am thankful for and can excuse the scratches in that case! Overall the Ipod Touch is a lot of fun. The only other thing is you may not need a 32GB, 8GB may be enough. Figure out how much you have on your corrent ipod and go from there if your close to the 8gb then go for the 32gb but if your not even close like 1-2gb 8gb may work fine and save you some money

I do have one complaint amed at Amazon very very bad shipping! My box was crutched. It should have been packed better. The case Apple puts it in helped protect it. for the price of expidited shipping they could have packed it better. Airbage do not cost that much there where missing a few. :(
