Love love love this book! So many great recipes and new foods to try. I love that this cookbook has so many slow cooker recipes which works with my work/school schedule. Highly recommend!

I'm really glad to keep this stuff handy. It works well and is gentle on my skin, which seems to get more and more sensitive the older I get.

My daughter is turning 6, but in her mind she is turning 16. Argh! They grow up so fast! For her birthday this year, she's asking for all of the typical "young woman" stuff: makeup; a cell-phone; a binder. Well, there is no way she is wearing make-up to school, and I can't trust her to keep track of her plastic bracelets, lets alone a cell phone! But a binder is something that will prepare her for the real world. My wife had one when she was younger- one she had to share with her sister and a younger cousin- and we wanted our daughter to have the advantage of having her own binder to spend her time in, waiting to be judged by a much smarter, richer man. She found the binder gift-wrapped under our bed already, and she knows what it is, and she just can't wait to open it in another month! We were going to get her stickers and markers to decorate her binder with, but we decided to place that money into her younger brother's college fund instead.

I have been using Office Professional 2007 at work for years, and I bought Office 2010 for home use when it first came out. I can tell you that Office 2010 is a very worthwhile upgrade from 2007, and compatibility between those two products is decent. I recently purchased Office 2013 for work and I already regret it. If I could make the choice again, I would get Office 2010. Right now in February 13', Office 2010 is the best, most robust version of Office m$ has ever produced. There is almost no major reason to get 2013 and I can think of several, two just today, that are reasons NOT to. Access 2013 doesn't do the data collection via form from Outlook like 2010 does and they replaced that feature with " ", yep nothing, just gone. The entire "Collect Data" group is simply gone. How do they charge a higher price when they remove features? Today when I composed an email for my boss in Outlook 2013 and spent some time with spacing and formatting to make it look just like I wanted it to look, then sent it off. When I opened it in my 'sent items' folder to take a last look, I was pretty p%**ed to see a message at the top of my email saying "Outlook 2013 removed unnecessary lines from this message" which left my email looking pretty crappy. What an utterly useless "feature". That can be disabled in options but can mess up a plain text email for you if you forget to turn it off - same goes for Outlook 2010. If you are using Office 2007 or an older version, then an upgrade to office 2010 would be a worthwhile experience. I think I am finished with m$ Office products as of my 2010 version and will have to do something far different in the future. My advice - stay away from Office 2013. Access 2013 seems to be a product without a development team any more. They should have called it Office-Bob or Bob II, or Office-Me III, and Outlook should have been called Outhouse AFAIAC and that would have been more accurate. Bad product IMHO. I do not recommend this product.

Of ALL of the multitudes of versions of "A Christmas Carol" this has always, ALWAYS been my favorite. There is simply nothing lacking in this portrayal. The modernized versions may please some crowds but it seems to me that everyone I talk to in my own circle of friends seem to agree that this version has all of the elements of emotional extremes....One can feel the genuine terror of Scrooge during his late night visits and the horror of the future he sees, yet oddly enough there are those very special moments that "peek out" through his facial expressions - a softening of the eyes, a slight tear or gentle furrough of the brow...a wave of tenderness in his face as he recalls the kindness of his former employer or the love he bore for his frail and kind-hearted sister.
