I love this pedometer. Tracking my steps has become a breeze with the seven days of memory. The best thing is that I can put it in my pocket and forget about it for the day.

The concept of this book is interesting. The substance is scary, from a biblical viewpoint.
If you want answers from God – read your BIBLE. It’s all there.

Cat Shaped Rubber Bands I’m so disappointed. I was looking forward to getting these bands because I do like cats. There are supposed to be 12 bands in the pack. When mine arrived, the plastic box looked tampered with …
After reading all the great reviews, I decided to buy this scale to replace our old one that no longer works. I was really excited to get this scale! It sounded perfect and just what we needed. When it arrived, we set it all up and proceeded to weigh ourselves. First you need to calibrate the scale, which we did, but after it went through that process it immediately started to screw up. The scale has three different measurement settings: kilograms, pounds and stones. Even though the switch was set to pounds, the scale was reading in kilograms. We tried everything, switching it back and forth to pounds again, resetting the batteries, recalibrating it, and nothing helped set the scale back to pounds. It seems to be stuck on kilograms no matter what we do. Its such a shame because besides that problem I really do like the scale, but will have to return the scale because of that problem.

Like (probably) most folks who read this book, it was jammed down my throat as Required! Reading! in my Honors English class in High School (I guess they saved it for the Honors class because we were all Ivy-bound brilliants who wouldn’t be seduced into the gutter by all the naughty language and behavior depicted in the book).
Why?
Since when was rebellion for its own sake considered radical in the literary sense?
Reading this book was like getting stuck on the last commuter bus home next to a drunken, rambling teenager.
Its style may have been “radical” for its time, but it’s neither interesting nor particularly well-written. I have no idea why this is considered a “classic.”
To me, an example of a “classic” is something like Frank Herbert’s “Dune”–even though it was written back in the 60’s, before the lunar landing, it still remains an epic story in and of itself, even with the science fiction aspects removed. “Catcher” on the other hand is more of a period piece, and makes for boring reading, like most of the Bronte sisters’ works which we were also required to slog through (oooh, Edwardian social mores, and written by a WOMAN! How RADICAL and RELEVANT!! not….).
In short, this book for me sums up everything that’s wrong with the way that English-language literature is taught in school. No, we shouldn’t let kids read the funnies and the White Pages and call it literacy, but there has been enough new stuff in the past 40 years to push out some of the no-longer relevant stuff.
