What you take from this book depends mostly on the type of person you are.

If you spend your life shaking your head at what others around you are doing “wrong”, while internally applauding your own goodness…if you subscribe to narrow-minded views which you call “the Word of God” but which really serve to spread hate and fear against things you don’t understand or which really aren’t any of your business in the first place…if you’ve spent your life denying yourself the joy which could have been yours in favor of doing what you were taught was “right”…if you have ignored the fact that it has been proven and recorded in history that the Bible was originally composed of much more than we know today, but due to man’s corruption (and fear of loss of power over those they ruled) was edited according to man’s agenda…Yeah, you hate this book because you feel as though you’ve been insulted. You will fixate on the fact that it states that there is no heaven or hell, no devil, no damnation. No vengeful, wrathful God to punish those wrongdoers around you. That everything you hung your hopes on isn’t real. After all, this is the God you’ve lived your life thinking you knew, and you’re probably afraid to think beyond that. That’s a shame, because you’re missing the point entirely.

Meanwhile, if you want to live a life of love, joy and peace…if you already believed prior to reading this that there must be more to life than what you see around you with your human eyes…if you already believed that we are all one, and that we are all a part of God, and that we are all meant for more than what we have been taught we are worth, that we are NOT naturally sinful or shameful, that we are all gifted with God’s love regardless of what we do, that we are perfect creations which make bad choices…you’ll love this book as I do, and you’ll refer back to it frequently as I do in order to reinforce the ideas and make them a part of your heart.

I purchased this scale because it measured in “.2″ increments instead of “.5″. This would allow me to see even the smallest progress while I progressed towards the bigger goal of 1/2 to 1 pound lost in weigt. I LOVE this scale and it appears to be very precise when I compare it to my other scales that I own. It is extremely easy to use. Buy it, put the included batteries in, step on it, and record your weight!

I also bought the EatSmart Food Scale at the same time and I LOVE that product as well! Best food scale I’ve ever owned!

We’ve had the vacuum for a few weeks now and have not had any problems with it at all. It does a very nice job on plush carpeting as well as flat carpets but not quite as good on hardwood floors. It has a handle just above the bag compartment that makes it easy to carry up and down stairs and it is fairly light compared to other full size uprights. As mentioned by others, the cord is about 6 feet too short. The mechanism to adjust the vacuum height is klunky, feels like it may be something easy to break, and is somewhat difficult to use. The suction for the hose attachment is almost too hard and there is no way to dial it down. Overall, though, I like this vacuum and would recommend it to friends.

Bought this vacuum from Amazon for a WONDERFUL price just over 2 years ago after moving from an apartment to a town house. It was easy to assemble and worked great for 2 years until the belt that connects the beater bar (the bar that rotates with all the brushes on it) broke. After buying several of the belts recommended in the owners manual and having each and every one break after one or two uses … and in one case after about 15 seconds … this vac is headed for the trash.
Would I buy another one of these? Yes, but I would be much more vigilant in making sure the beater bar and surrounding areas stay free of clogs or large clumps of hair. Also, it isn’t like this was a $500 vacuum so I am not out a ton of money, and I certainly didn’t expect it to last forever. It just would have been nice to see it keep going for more than two years.

This is a a good overall replacement pack for Nerf Darts. Good value for the quantity and they work well with the Nerf Dart Guns.

At first I was wary of buying this vacuum due to its less than stellar reviews. I think peoples’ expectations were too high for this price point. After living with the vacuum for months I can confidently recommend this as a solid product. It is heavy, but that is because it has a powerful motor. I never had the attachments fall off – they seem secure. The foot tilt lever doesn’t seem that flimsy as long as you don’t stomp on it or force it. It’s ugly, but it is a utilitarian object. I can care less what it looks like as long as it gets the job done. For ~$75 you can go wrong.
