It’s easy to see why girls are hooked on Twilight. Really, it’s a great escape type read. And I liked all the books in the series except the last one (major disappointment). So while I loved Twilight and New Moon and Eclipse, and loved the movies, I do have to say that I cringe when I think of teen girls reading it and thinking it’s a great example of a love relationship. The feminist in me just wants to shout at Bella that she’s in a completely unhealthy relationship. She loses her own identity because she’s so obsessed with Edward. And while I like lots of characteristics of Edward, he’s absolutely too controlling. Overall, I would never want my daughter to be so crazy for a guy that she let her world revolve around him. Also, I thought that Bella’s obsession with becoming a vampire got to be a little annoying. It seemed like her family meant nothing to her, becoming a vampire was just everything to her. Even more than what Edward wanted for her. I sort of thought that being beautiful and strong was so appealing to her, that what she was giving up didn’t matter at all. That was disappointing. I would have liked to see her struggle with that more than she did.
So while it’s a fun read and I do recommend it for light reading–I also definitely want to have a disclaimer saying “Remember, it’s fantasy! No girl should EVER let a boy control your life or make you feel basically suicidal if you’re not together.”

I bought this scale about a month ago, and so far it is the most accurate scale I’ve ever seen. I have to remind myself I don’t need to tap it! I now know I weigh different depending on the time of day, haha! I feel very confident that based on the other reviews, if I ever have an issue with it, I will get another without problems. That speaks volumes as any company that treats it’s customers well (which is a rarity these days) is on my list of places to do business with. Well worth the money!

The mount wasn’t working all that well in the beginning. In sharper turns the mount would slide on the dash. After a year or so it totally lost it’s friction properties and even medium fast turn makes it fly off the dash. Garbage.
