While doing an article for my Bounty profile I decided to investigate the history of "The Law of Attraction" and that led me to a man named Andrew Carnegie (you know of him - Carnegie Hall, Mellon Carnegie University etc.) - which ultimately led me to a man by the name of Napoleon Hill who was challenged by Carnegie to discover "the secret" at work in the lives of 500 of the...

Are you a fan of metal?  Are you a fan of comedy?  Then I present to you Psychostick.  This Arizona based band has brought forth the ultimate cross of young comedy and metal into a great album.  I laughed my butt off to every single track on this cd.  First time encountering this band, I heard the track "Beer".  A song just about beer you say?  Yes I...

After reading Swallows of Kabul and then Lucky back-to-back, I needed something a little less heavy to read. I decided I would try Magical Thinking on for size. The USA Today is quoted right on the cover using the terms "compelling" and "screamingly funny."The first page defines Magical Thinking as "A schizotypal personality disorder attributing to one's own actions...

Joan Didion has long been considered one of America's foremost writers of nonfiction and essay.  She shows why once again with The Year of Magical Thinking, her account of the death of her husband, fellow writer John Gregory Dunne, and her struggles throughout the following year to cope with her grief.  Didion's efforts to mourn are complicated by the life-threa...

       I received this as a gift 3 1/2 years ago while I was pregnant with my first daughter.  This is the first time I have ever seen  a pregnant  stuffed bear. I fell in love with it immediately.  Might I add I'm a BIG TIME bear lover.       This bear is appropiately  named Ima Late, from the Thinking of ...

The Fisher Price Easy Link Launch Pad is a wonderful educational toy for children.  The recommended ages are 3+ and the Toys R' Us recommended ages are 3-5.  You insert a cartridge that goes to that characters website to their game/activitie area and does not allow the child to go to another website.  The only way to change websites is to change cartridges.  The launch p...

When you live in a world where most of the people you know either own a business (or several) or want to start a business, one of the things you really need on hand as a reference is a book that assists you in putting together the best possible Business plan you can.  Regardless how many times I put one together, I prefer not to leave it to my memory to ensure that I have everything in goo...

The first time I saw Rush Hour was on a small a boat in Maldives returning  to the capital, Male' from a resort island about 30 minutes away. One of the young passengers owned this toy and passed it on to an international consultant, who was looking on with a disparaging haughtiness. To the kid's delight, it took the consultant a long while to figure out th...

When I first saw this playhouse at Sam's Club I knew we needed to own it!  My daughter worked on my husband to get it and finally in October of 2006 we made the purchase.  It was a pain to get home just because of the sheer size of the playhouse, but we knew that.  Once we got home, it only took about 5 hours for the two of us to get it up.  I wish now we had spent more ...

I've looked at and thought about buying this game for quite a while before actually getting it. I wish I had gotten it sooner, this is a lot of fun and is challenging even for adults. Rush Hour is a single player puzzle game. You choose a game card and set up the board according to the pattern on the card. Your object is to drive the cars forward and in reverse to get the red car out of tra...

My husband is a Geek.  And if you've read my previous review in men's clothing, then you know that he loves thinkgeek t-shirts.  This is also a thinkgeek.com shirt--a gift from my hubby, of course!  =)This shirt is what the site calls "baby doll" style.  Essentially, it's not a regular bulky t-shirt, but is more form-fitted and shorter, like a regular s...

If you work in the IT Industry, or are a real computer geek, then you're already smiling.   If you're not a geek (like I am) then you'll probably need a translation.  "127.0.0.1" is a computer's "loop back" address, or, in layman's terms, "Home."  There really is no place like home!My hubby is an IT Network Administrator, and...

My sheepskin (i'm going to use sheepskin shoes as its name) shoes are rated, personally, as very comfortable and great for indoor use. By the way, i know i said men shoes but they can be worn by anyone. I use my sheepskin shoes all the time because they are really comfortable, they protect me feet and they make my feet feel very warm during winter season. Never wear them outside because the...

If you have mgraines, relief is something you try to get right away.  It's extremely painful and I know I usually will do anything I can to alleviate the pain as fast as possible, even if it's a $10 a pill cure.  Even if those $10 pills have side effects, too!  It's certainly not worth that to me now.  Imitrex started off ok for me-it's a lot like any other m...

Run Lola Run is quite the strange (but good) German movie. Its about this guy who had 100,000 marks (in a bag) but he somehow forgot them on a subway, and a bum picks it up (he was transporting the money to his big boss dude). So, the guy calls his girlfreind and tells her about it, so shes like, oh, that sucks. And for the rest of the movie shes running all over hell to get 100,000 marks, exce...

"Think & Grow Rich" is a book sharing and give advices for people about leading a successful life. "Think & Grow Rich" includes a lot...

I adore the Lush line of bath bombs! What's a bath bomb? It's an aromatherapy bath product, usually a nice-sized round object that when added to the bath, foams and bubbles and smells wonderful! Think Pink is a sweet honey and floral scented bomb that when dissolved, tints the water a beautiful pink color and releases heart shaped confetti and tiny candy flowers, which float happily aro...

“No More Baths!” is a great movie for older kids, say age 10 and up.  The subject matter was a little over our kids’ heads, even our oldest, who is seven.  Teaching how to handle some of life’s hardest lessons, this movie really hits some hot spots.  Kids will learn about being ‘your brother’s keeper’, as well as what it takes to stand up...
