Vanilla Ice


Unlike the Region-1 version available on Amazon now, this is a real DVD not a DVD-R. DVD-Rs use pigments instead of laser etched pits. This is important because DVD-Rs are less reliable and won't last as long as a real DVD. Anyway, this DVD set is great. It features the original movie, uncut. It also features the original movie soundtrack CD, which is a classic. Can't really go wrong at this price. Cool As Ice

This is the best movie ever. I had to buy the DVD because my tape was getting old. It was well worth the money. This DVD package comes with the musical soundtrack. I already had the soundtrack, but this would be a great item for people who are discovering Vanilla Ice for the first time.



Ok honestly, the movie is terrible, but it's one of my favorites. This is not a movie you'll be watching in order to reflect on the early works of some of acting's hot talents. This is a collection of terrible actors thrown into a low budget rushed out film that had to be released before Vanilla Ice's career tanked. It didn't quite make it out in time (or perhaps it caused the tanking), but either way this is one of the worst performing movies of all time.



I love this movie.

My wife almost threw this away when it arrived in the mail, an act which has been banned under the Geneva Conventions. While as a movie it has little to no merit, aside from anthropological studies of the costumes used in this movie, it is beyond amazing to watch with friends, while drunk, for petty and cheap amusement. I didn't realize it included the OST, since I was more concerned with getting it on DVD than what other goodies I could get. I consider the OST an unexpected yet torturous bonus, useful for atoning for sins.

My friend remembered this CD from years ago and wanted to look at Vanilla Ice's dance moves again. He thinks Vanilla Ice is so cool. He really enjoyed the movie and was thrilled I was able to order it. Thank you.

This movie was nothing then a cheap attempt to cash in on Ice's 15 minutes of fame. Vanilla Ice's acting is one the worst in years and his dance moves are corny and poorly done. It has little-to-no plot. The visuals are confusing and really don't add anything to the story(or lack there of). The Villain is chessy and phoned in a mile away and the some goes for the romance in this film. I give this film a 0 out of 10.'

Component Video Cables - rca, belkin


Well; what can I say.... ~$6 for 6 feet of cable w/shipping.



The cable is thick and high quality.



My only complaint is the rubber boots around the tips are longer than most.....

(If using these for a car; they may interfere with installing the deck as they stick out towards the rear very far).....



Anyway... very minor..... Like I said.... ~$6? You can't go wrong! (Rat shack wants closer to $20; and theirs aren't as thick or well made).....



Buy these if you need quality cables at REALLY CHEAP prices...... Belkin PureAV RCA Audio Cable 6 ft

These work like they should, and no distortion noticed so far. The cords have a very heavy duty feel and look to them which I really like. I bought these to hook my logitech z-2300 speakers to my tv and it sounds awesome especially for listening to football games. No cons so far and I don't think there will be, can't go wrong with these.

I purchased this to pull each independent cable apart and use each as a sub cable. It worked great, and saved me a wad of cash.



There are no plastic reinforcements or anything on this cable, so pulling it apart is easy. - Belkin - Rca - Cables - Cable'

Pneumatics - construction staplers, stapler


A very solid staple gun. So far I have shot almost 10,100 staples through it without a jam. Depth adjustment is decent. haven't used that to much so far. I turn my compressor down or up according to application anyway. If you are using kiln dried white cedar shingles you don't want to be hitting them with 110 psi even if the depth is set, get me? I have also used this tool for Sheetrock strapping using 2" staples, but primarily cedar shingle siding. A great multipurpose and light gun. Hitachi N5008AC 1-Inch to 2-Inch 7/16-Inch Medium Crown 16 Gauge Stapler

I bought this stapler new, and I must saw the thing is beautiful to use. I use it for framing so the thing gets a lot of use every day. The only issue I have with it is the magazine for the staples is made of plastic. I did not think it was a big deal until one of my employees let it slide off the roof we were sheating. The magazine broke cleanly in two. The rest of the stapler is very well built, but I think that the magazine should be made of some sort of metal, say magnesium or aluminum. This would make a good stapler, the best stapler in my opinion.

I'm a redwood/cedar fencing contractor. I've tried many brands of nail guns - Senco, Porter Cable and others, only to have them go belly up and face a repair bill which is greater than the cost of the original gun. Several years ago I switched to Hitachi framers and (15 gauge) finish nailers and have never had a single breakdown - and they're used day in and day out. Recently I contacted to build a 300+ foot wire fence. Not wanting to hand hammer 4 to 5 thousand staples, I bought a Hitachi N5008AC Stapler. It was superb! Not a single glitch in that many firings. I highly recommend this stapler.

product is light weight and balanced, which makes for ease of use during longer periods of use. It is easy to load or change size of staples. I have not had any jambs or misfires since purchasing tool.

This is simply another high quality Hitachi Pneumatic Tool! Please note the style of the housing on this nail/staple gun! It is this style of pneumatic tool from Hitachi that is high quality. The newer (mostly plastic) frame nailers are not anywhere as good. Hitachi made a huge mistake by gradually discontinuing this style of pneumatic nail guns!



This stapler is awesome! I have found it perfect for installing sub-floor, siding, and most anything else in construction or renovation work I do. The best part is the long staples this gun will drive. This is the value of this device. The versatility it provides is the overall value this tool has to anyone who does any construction or remodeling work. I do hardwood flooring installation. This offers great versatility in applying sub-floor and shimming luan, and shingle shims, into uneven sub-floor before I do my installation of the flooring. - Construction Staplers - Stapler'

Sangean Portable Radio - sangean portable radio, radio


A few months ago, I spent $104 on the Sangean U3 worksite radio and was, in spite of warnings about its bass-heavy speakers, exceedingly pleased with speaker sound and AM/FM sensitivity. '



Even before I bought the U3, I wanted the Sangean LB-100, which had been praised by many, but was unavailable in the US market until recently.



So for about $75 and free shipping on Amazon, I bought the LB-100. I fretted the possibility that the LB-100's AM might not be up to par with the bigger U3.

But a side by side reception comparison results in what appears to be close performance, and very impressive AM and FM. The LB-100's slightly smaller ferrite AM antenna produces a little less sensitivity but produces good overall AM sound. Just a shade less than the U3's.



'One thing I don't like about both the Lunchbox and the U3 is that the non-rotation screw-in FM antenna doesn't give you any option to perform fine-tuning when wanting to get in a troublesome station (all worksite radios have such an antenna built like this to be rugged). Not that you need to adjust the antenna much. The FM sensitivity is so good that such adjusting isn't necessary. However, for weak FM stations like 89.3 and 88.9 it would be nice to have a rotating FM antenna. As strong as the FM is on both radios, I can't grab the weakest FM station I know of, 88.9, on the U3 and the LB-100 like I can with the Redsun RP-2100 (CCrane CSW) or the Grundig S350.



Now for AM reception. Very sensitive. The sound is very appealing through the 5-inch speaker, just like on the bigger U3. '

Unlike the U3, which has a clock, headphone jack, and aux port, the LB-100 has none of these and is, in spite of being digital with 5 presets for AM and FM, a very bare bones radio, a sort of 1980 Ford Ranger truck, which didn't even come with a radio, ironically enough.

'

You might want to pay an extra $25 and get the added features of the U3 and enjoy a bigger ferrite AM antenna (though I personally didn't hear any difference in AM between the two).



One thing to consider is that the footprint on the LB-100 is not small at 8x8 inches. I was going to use the LB-100 in the kitchen but its size may make me change my mind and take it to the work office or use in one of the bathrooms.



I do want to commend Sangean on the battery compartment (takes 4 C batteries). This is not one of those latches that you snapped broken because you breathed too heavily on the hinges. This hinge uses a big screw and looks like it was built to last.



Conclusion: At the $75 price point, the LB-100 has a rugged look, a loud yellow color, excellent fidelity, and strong AM and FM reception. Recommended.



Update: Be aware that this doesn't take rechargeable batteries. Sangean America LB-100 Lunchbox AM/FM Compact Utility/Outdoor Radio

I bought this as a back-up emergency radio. I recently read a book "Surviving The End of the World As We Know It" and the author reminded me how important it is to have several radios of varying types in the event things go "off grid." So, when I was reviewing the types of radios that are out there, this model immediately caught my eye due to its purported ruggedness and durability. Little did I know, however, when I purchased this that I was getting far more than a good "survivalist" radio. Indeed, this is that, but it is also a certified piece of sculptural-design art, and going even further, buying this is a throw-back to the days of getting something simple, solid, utilitarian, and built to last. Manufacturing as Art.



The dilemma I have is whether to buy a few more of these as collector's pieces. If I had the space to store them, I certainly would. I know for sure I'll be giving several of these as gifts.



The main reason I felt motivated to write a review about this simple radio is for this reason: We need more simple products like this in this overly complex world of ours. DESIGN AND QUALITY PRODUCTION LIKE THIS NEEDS TO BE RECOGNIZED AND ENCOURAGED!!!! If I was the President I would invite the engineer who designed this to lunch at the White House so he could receive the recognition he deserves. I buy so much junk which comes with owner's manuals which take a weekend or longer to read. 90% of the features on these products I don't even use most of the time. And, frequently, most of this stuff (electronics in particular) doesn't last through the year. The thing ends up in our American landfills before the consumer even becomes fully familiar with it. Repairs?? Prohibitively expensive.



With this radio you won't even need to read the owner's manual, which is nothing more than a small brochure. You screw the antenae in, you plug in the attached ultra-heavy-gauge cord (No AC adaptor here, folks!!! Praise the Lord!! I hate those things!!!) and you're good to go. Setting the stations is totally intuitive, and if you simply want to cruise the stations you just turn the sturdy, heavy knob. Just like the old days. Pure, utilitarian elegance.



This "Lunch Box" radio is visually stunning and built like a brick outhouse. Solid in every way. Nice weight to it. I was going to pack it away for that Big Emergency, but this is so dinstinctive looking that I'm going to find some place to put it where I can show it off. I think it sounds great, and it immediately tuned in all the stations I normally listen to here in southern California without any problem.



Some may want to label me a "Luddite"--a person who is repelled by advances in technology. There may be a kernal of truth in that assertion. I really do get exhausted with all the upgrades, updates, innovations, advances, and obsolescences inherent in this technologically revolutionary age. I just don't want to spend my best hours and my best years adapting to the gadgets of my era. But I think the true attraction I have to a product like this "Lunch Box" radio is this concept: Often, less is more. This simple, robust radio with its cheerful, strong design does everything I really need. I like knowing it will be around for a long time--probably longer than me.



Many thanks to Sangean. You nailed it with this one. - Am-fm - Radio - Sangean Portable Radio - Jobsite Radio'

Portable Elliptical Trainer - exercise, elliptical trainer


This is a fairly compact, noiseless and easy-to-assemble machine and it does its job.



The counter is placed out of the way, between your ankles, so you don't have to stare at it while exercising (unless you exercise while staring at your ankles) which to me is a plus. Also, the counter only accounts for the actual time you spend exercising, so if you go get a drink of water and return, it self-pauses, which is cool.



The machine does occasionally rock slightly from side-to-side during use which I'd imagine could cause injury. Also, the machine doesn't glide easily during strides as it does on a regular elliptical; it occasionally jolts. This can be jarring, especially if you're not used to the unusually short strides on this machine. I recommend using this while you have something to stabilize yourself if this happens (I use it in a doorway)



Not the best machine out there, but it's certainly affordable and easy to use, a great purchase for a small space or for someone who wants to be able to stow away exercise equipment easily. Stamina 55-1610 InMotion E1000 Elliptical Trainer

I bought this mini-elliptical after reading all the reviews on this and other similar products. I bought this item for three main reasons:

1 - Low price

2 - Small size

3 - Portability

I like the elliptical movement because I have bad ankles, and treadmills and steppers hurt me after a short time working out. I don't have room for a full-size elliptical machine in my house, and this turned out to be the perfect size. Plus, it's small size made it easy to move around the house to be where I wanted to use it. I like to work out while watching TV to keep my mind elsewhere and work out longer, and I can pull this machine (about 25lbs) in front of the TV in the living room to watch TV with family (yes, they laugh at me, but it's worth it), and then pull in front of my bed in the bedroom to watch a chick flick that no one else wants to watch. I even put my elliptical in front of my computer to watch Netflix movies online! It's easy to carry around.

Another great thing is that, because it's small, it is MUCH cheaper than a regular elliptical machine so, even it it only lasts a year or two, I can buy another one and still have not even come close to half the money I would have spent on a regular machine.

Sure, it doesn't have the arm movement, but I find that no handles makes me work my core by staying balanced (really not very difficult, haven't ever fallen in the 2 months I've had it), and I can even carry small weights to really work my arms while I'm doing the cardio workout of the elliptical.

I like the computer that tells you how long you've worked out, how many steps you've taken, and how many calories you've burned. Simple and straightforward. Another great feature: it's incredibly quiet to use!

The best thing about this is that it is easy to stay motivated, because I can watch TV anywhere and still use it, and I don't have to go outside in the hot California sun to work out! It's really a great machine, and a real value for the money. I used Super Saver Shipping to get mine, so I get a great workout several times a week for the price of a couple of months at the gym and without the hassle of driving somewhere just to work out. I love it, and recommend it to anyone that wants to get in shape!

First one arrived broken, had no problems with return/replacement.



Very easy to assemble and does a good job for a low price. Some people may have a bit of trouble keeping their balance, but I had no difficulty after a few spins on this -- I think trying to maintain balance only enhances the effects of the workout. Small computer does a decent job.



Biggest cons would have to be that 1) the range of motion is definitely smaller than on a "real" elliptical and 2) the resistance setting isn't all that great.



All in all, if you have a small place and don't want to pay $40+/mo for a gym membership, this is a great alternative to running up and down stairs.

I had mixed feelings about purchasing this because of its size and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get a good cardio on it. Boy was I wrong. When I workout on this my heart rate ranges from 145-160 which is exactly where I want it to be. It's very sturdy but does take a little getting used to as far as balancing on it but you can get a great workout from it. The strides are much smaller than what you find in a gym but that's expected. I think it's a very effective piece of equipment for the price.

Here are the 2 things I wanted to know about this machine before I bought it, but couldn't tell from the product description: will it support my weight, and is it a good stride length for me?



It doesn't say so on Amazon, but the instructions that come with the Stamina 55-1610 InMotion E1000 Elliptical Trainer say that the maximum user weight is 250 pounds. I have to admit I'm very close to that, and it supports me just fine, without falling over, rocking excessively, or making loud noises. As for the stride length, I won't kid you, it's VERY short. Anyone taller than 5'3" is going to feel like they are barely lifting their feet. I'm 5'0", and I still found the stride length a bit short initially, but I got used to it after only a few minutes. And don't worry, the short stride length does NOT prevent you from getting a good workout. You really feel it in your thighs. And while you can't change the stride length, you can adjust the tension, go forwards or backwards, and of course, you control your own speed.



Other reviewers have mentioned that the stride is a bit choppy or jerky, and they're right; but again, this is something you get better at with practice. I found it really helped me to stride smoothly if I had my weight forward over my toes. I was scared to lean too much at first, but the machine did not tip forwards as I feared - it stayed solidly on the floor.



It only took me about 5 minutes to put the elliptical together - and all by myself, too (the instructions say 2 people should do the assembly together, but I didn't need any help). It's also light enough to carry from one room to another if you need/want to.



My last concern was about noise, since I'm in an apartment with flimsy walls and floors. The machine does make a sort of whooshing noise as the pedals turn, but it is not too loud - I'm sure it won't bother my neighbors, and if I wear headphones I can't hear it myself either.



I highly recommend this elliptical trainer to anyone looking for a cheap and easy home workout. People who are short like me (say 5'3" or under) will find it especially suitable! - Compact - Exercise - Elliptical Trainer - Affordable'

Two-way Family Service Radio - 2 way radios, walkie talkie


This pair is a decent entry level compact two way radios.



If you are looking for simple, compact, short range two way radios, this is perfect for you. It's very simple to use, fits right in your palms for easy grip and handling. It's got a belt clip which makes it easy to carry around. You can use the rechargeable batter it packs with or use your own AAA batteries as back ups, which can be helpful on longer trips or usage.



Some of the negatives:

1. this model do not have 'sub-channels'. this can really bother you if you constantly have other users on the same channel jamming.



2. battery level only shows up when it's low. this can be an hassle unless you carry extra AAA batteries.



3. When on 'LOCK' status, you cannot change volume because it locks all the buttons.



4. volume is somewhat low and voice cracks on highest setting Midland LXT380VP3 24-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Pair)

I bought these not knowing a bunch about 2 way radios but how much is there to know. Well for starts clarity, volume, range, power supply and accessories capabilities. My experience with these the first day I got them wasnt at all what I expected as far as volume and range goes. When the listing says up to 24 miles I didnt expect to be able to do it however I at least expected to get 5 miles which I didnt and we wasnt using them around tall buildings, I would say at most the transmission started to become unclear around 1 mile no line of sight (havent tested line of sight yet). The volume wasnt to my liking however if its no other noise going on around you it would be just fine but for me I would like to see it a bit more elevated in this area of performance. I will say the radios at my testing times was not fully charged as in being charged for 24 hours and at this time I am not sure if this has any thing to do with the range of the product. Other wise its great for the buck and a few accessories to plug and play with it. Product arrived with rechargeable battery packs instructions base charger and 110 power supply, very well packaged. Havent test many of the other features yet. Good Luck!

My company has gone through many different brands of walkie Talkies and this is the 4th set of these I have used. They work well, are reilable, and have clear signals most of the time. On occasion we will get some radio noise and have to switch channels, but it is VERY rare. I would reccomend these again and will buy more in the furture as we expand!

They have a charger so you don't have to keep buying batteries. We put them back in the charger at night and they are ready to use the next day. The sound is clear and very easy to use. Just wish I had bought them sooner.

I got these for my grandsons, and my daughter particularly asked me to write a review praising them. They are easy to use, and very durable. She found the user manual very helpful, actually written by someone who speaks English. She has found one feature particularly helpful. It is possible to lock the controls, so that the kids don't get the settings out of whack. This eliminated some irritation caused by the younger child changing channels in the middle of the game.

This product works great and all employees are happy with what they got.

Shipping was prompt and it arrived exactly on time. This is the third

time I've ordered a pair of these off of Amazon and I haven't been disa-

ppointed yet.

I know the advertisement reads that these radios have a 24 mile, unimpeded, line of sight range, but I figured if they had that kind of range, they should reach more than a mile or two on normal rural terrain. After a mile or two, I was unable to communicate with the second radio, on high power setting. Oh, and you need an $87.00 FCC license to use the GMS channels. I didn't see that mentioned in the description!

These two way radios have great range and hold a charge for a decent amount of time. I don't actually know if they have a full 24 mile range, but I have tested them at about 12 and had good luck. The only downfall for me is that they don't have seperate charging bases so I can keep one in my husband's shop and one at the house.

I've tested this radio in various conditions, and working ranges are as follows:



Dense cityscape - half mile is ok, after range increases, voice becomes choppy.

City with relatively low height houses and relaxed planning, 2-3 mile is best what you can get.

Flat area with direct line of sight - 6-7 miles.



So I think, declared 22 mile range can be achieved maybe on moon only...



In general, radios are OK, just what really bothers me, is the low amount of hearing volume, even at maximum setting, it's quite hard to hear what other side say, in average city noise. So this unit is definetly NOT for construction worked or noisy areas, unless you use headset.

Like others, I thought if the range is 24 miles under perfect conditions, I'd settle for three miles (1/8 of the 24) under "open road" conditions. Didn't happen. On a straight line open road with rolling hills, little traffic and the usual trees and such well off to the side, the range was a touch over a mile, and that was on the high setting. Other than that they are easy to operate, small and light, and the sound quality is good once you are in range. - 2-way Radio - 2 Way Radios - Gmrs-frs Two-way Radios - Walkie Talkie'

Historical Fiction - comedy, circus


3 and 1/2 stars.





Why I Read this Book: I've seen The Ex-Boyfriend's Handbook described as the male-equivalent to Bridget Jones's Diary. I thought BJD was hilarious so I wanted to read The Ex-Boyfriend's Handbook. I was even more curious to read a Chick-Lit book written from the main male character's POV, figuring it would be quite a change from the norm. It was.



What I Liked: The book begins on January 16th, the day Edward discovers that Jane, his girlfriend of 10 years, has left him. The reader follows Edward through his 4 month self-discovery journey. Edward's best friend, Dan, helps him through the process in a hilariously yet sincere (at least to Dan's prospective) manner. These 4 months help Edward to assess and re-evaluate his relationship with Jane. The book ends on April 16, shortly after Jane has returned from her own self-discovery journey in Tibet. The whole time I was reading this book I wanted to know if they would get back together or not.



I grew fond of Edward's character and I wanted to make sure that everything turned out right for him. He got a new insight to life and relationships. Edward really transforms himself, inside and out, and in the end he gets the HEA he deserves.



Dan and his `logic' were most hysterical. Most of which was the blunt, honest truth. Dan doesn't sugarcoat anything, nor does his mouth have a filter, he just tells it like he sees it. Dan's analogies were sometimes spot on, sometimes not, but always down right hilarious.



Funny stuff that comes out of Dan's mouth:



"You're dressed like a scarecrow. And what do scarecrows do?"



"Cool jacket, Dan. How will they ever resist me?" [Edward] says, strutting up and down in front of the mirror.

Dan shakes his head. "Edward, it's a nice jacket. Not a magic jacket."





And here's a word of advice from Edward's personal trainer:



"If it jiggles, it's fat."





The funny part about this line is that it took place in a restaurant during the trainer's assessment of Edward. No advanced equipment needed; just a jiggle test. These quotes still give me a good chuckle.



What I Didn't Like: The beginning was a bit slow for me. But once Edward got over his woe is me pity party and started doing something about his situation, I was invested in finding out how his life was going to turn out.



There were a few times when I had to pause and think for a moment about what a particular word or phrase meant. Some I even had to Google. For instance: pint of snakebite (a drink of equal parts beer and cider), kerb (curb), boot of a car (the trunk), jumper (pull-over sweater), snog (kiss and cuddle) and aerial (antenna) - just to name a few. Nothing I couldn't figure out but it did pause my reading from time to time.



Overall Impression: Fans of Bridget Jones's Diary and Chick-Lit will love the male insight from Edward's POV and the humor that comes along with it. They need to make of movie from this book! The Ex-Boyfriend's Handbook would be a great Valentine's Day read. The Ex-Boyfriend's Handbook: Eddie will do whatever it takes to become her Mr. Right

Are you in the need for a funny book? Do you want something that will make you forget about your own problems? Looking for a light read after all that heavy reading? Have you ever wondered what goes on in guy's mind? Do you like hot British guys? If you said yes to any of these questions, then this is the perfect book that will fulfill all your needs and more.



Oh Edward. What can I say about you? Nice guys always wonder why they never get the girl? Well, if you're like Edward, it's understandable why. His long time girlfriend has left him with only a note saying that, yes it is him, as to why she left. But he can't figure out why she has. Therefore the whole book is his quest to become the guy Jane wants and be the guy that is her Mr. Right. This includes everything from changing his car, his apartment, his eating habits and hiring a personal trainer.



Ok, there were times when reading that I wanted to throttle Edward for being so dumb. Oh my gosh, he was so clueless at times! I kept putting my head in my hands and groaning and his lack of knowledge or for just being so dense at a lot of things. There's a scene that Edward recalls about why he never got Jane flowers while they were dating because of an incident involving stopping at a gas station, getting expired roses, and her telling him never to do that again and him literally taking her word for it to mean to never get her flowers again. I was like "ohhhh, no you didn't Edward" over and over again during the first half of the book. The poor guy is literally absolutely dumbfounded as to why Jane left him but as he reveals more and more stuff about their relationship, it's easy to understand why she did. He's not a bad guy at all. In fact, he IS a good guy, in fact he's a really nice guy. But just being nice isn't going to cut it if you're not a good boyfriend.



Granted, Dan wasn't the best person to teach Edward things. He's a total playboy (if this was ever made into a movie, this role would be perfectly portrayed by Jude Law) who pretty much forgets about the girl he was with the next morning. There's quite a bit that he has to learn as well and it's fun watching him grow throughout the book and seeing his character change. Still, most of the advice he gives Edward is food for thought and there is some good changes he instills on him.



This book pretty much had me a fan from the first page. It's really nice to see a chick lit novel written from the guy's perspective. Women always complain about how we never know what a guy is thinking and that he's absolutely clueless when it comes to treating us right. Well, if men are anything like Edward, well then they ARE absolutely clueless! But what makes Edward stand out is that he was willing to change. He wanted to become what he thought Jane wanted and while doing so became the guy that truly was meant to be. This sounds a bit cliched but it's true. I really loved reading this book (hot British guys with accents!) and it's made me fall in love with Matt Dunn's style of writing. I see that he has several books in his backlist so I will definitely be checking those out in the near future. Single, dating, married, doesn't matter what stage of life you are in, this book is TONS of fun. HIGHLY recommended. - Circus - Comedy - Chelsea Goldstein - Chelsea Handler'
