Breast Cancer Support - breast cancer support, inspirational gifts


The author of this book uses scriptures and personal experiences to walk you through her journey battling breast cancer. But it's a book that will help anyone who's felt defeated and overwhelmed by a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual situation that seems impossible. Linda Grabeman lives out the scripture in Phil 4:13 "I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." This book will give you the hope you're searching for! No Prissy Shoes No Prissy Shoes

Love this book! I initially bought it for myself and my own cancer journey. I have picked it up & reread numerous chapters many times when I have needed encouragement and a reminder of God's presence and why I trust Him.

Linda writes in way that is so personal and yet echoes my own emotions. Although written specifically for those of us dealing with breast cancer, these devotional readings could apply to most any of life's trials.

I have since been thrilled to purchase many of these books to give as a gift & invaluable resource to others diagnosed with breast cancer. Thank you Linda for sharing your journey & helping us walk ours with perseverance & confidence. - Breast Cancer Support - Inspirational Gifts - Womens Health - Christian Devotional'

Tools


I guess I should have read what's included a little closer. Yes, 205 pieces. 30 of those are small plastic cable ties. Item was also shipped with an important piece missing, the adapter for the ratchet to allow use of the smaller sockets. Called the seller and was promised a call back that never came. Fortunately had a similar piece from an older tool set I had otherwise this would have been even more worthless. Great Neck GN205 205-Piece Home Tool Chest Set

I ordered this to have a set of tools I could fit in a kitchen cabinet and get my bigger tool set out of sight and back to the garage. It was not immediately obvious to me looking at the Amazon description that this was about a 2/3rds size tool set, everything is slightly smaller than regular tools. This is not a big deal for a light use tool kit in the kitchen but no one would want this to do any serious work with it. Hang a picture, pull out a nail, unscrew something, no problem.



The overall quality seems ok so far, although I have not put any of the tools to even the lightest test, but there was nothing flimsy about them (other than the small size). I am giving them 4 stars as it fits my purpose and I may have been partly responsible for thinking that a 12.8 inch wide tool box was going to hold a 13inch hammer.

Even at $31 delivered you are only getting poor quality tools in a cool little package. These tools are truly best for those who would have no tools otherwise. I purchased the 40 piece set at $9 in order to check out the quality; it seamed to good to be true....it was.

The storage chest is crap. The tools themselves are low quality and poorly measured (for fit to the job). 1/2" maybe 1/2 or a little more, or a little less. The storage chest is held shut by a vertical plastic bar that can easily be lost or broken. I like the way each tool has its own place. Not too bad for backup to your backups

This thing is full of a bunch of useless tools that no average around-the-house type guy would use for anything. The box itself is cheap and the drawers are hard to open. I don't even think it comes with a screwdriver. Don't get this....beware!

This is a great idea for putting together Tools. It is Based on the Larger Mechanic's Chest. It has all the essential tools needed to be the handi man around the house. I would recommend it to anyone considering it.

Also consiter the KR Tools 10120 200-Piece Professional Tool Set.



it will make a very good compliment.

i got my products today and iam very pleased about what i got all of the peices where with these items so iam very satisfied but Amazon could be cheaper on some of there stuff but its alright ill pay for it cause i use my tools everyday so im happy now thanks amazon'

Home Improvement - respirators, filter


My husband purchased respirators for both of us when we got ready to paint the interior of our house. First of all, a respirator is WAY more comfortable to wear than those paper masks. Second, the disposable filters keep all the nasty VOC's out of your lungs. I wouldn't paint without them. 3M R6001 Organic Vapor Cartridge, 1-Pair

I build model airplanes and use various glues which are irritating to my lungs and nose. Having tried various filters for my 3M respirator, this one works the best. All the filters seem to reduce their effectiveness after about 8 hours of use. I would have them a 5 for effectiveness and 3 for longevity.

These fit my old mask (model unknown, sorry) and work like a champ. I've used these while spraying stain on all our cabinets throughout our house. That was a dirty job, but I could breathe with ease. As far as fit goes, do your research.



Since the house is finished, I use this mask while mowing our 7 acre yard. It's really dusty, and I got tired of those flimsy paper masks that don't fit the bridge of my nose and still leave me with dirt encrusted nostrils. Also, my 3m mask doesn't leave my safety glasses fogged up all the time like the paper masks do. You probably think I'm a wimp, but when I mow it kicks up clouds of dust that leave me covered when I'm done. Dry, dry North Texas.

I find this cartridge works quite well when working with alkyd paints and various solvents: VOC and other chemical capture/reduction seems such that I have no smell, headache or difficult breathing even when working in a closed garage.

This cartridge does not fit the 7193 although the Amazon page indicates they are matched. This cartridge is has a bayonet style twist-on mount whereas the 7193 cartridge snaps on - they aren't even close! I bought (3) 2-packs and they are worthless with this mask. - Filter - Masks - Home Improvement - Respirators'

Teacher - office storage supplies, teacher


I LOVE this product! The size is perfect for my desk and it has enough divisions to organize every single piece of paper that would normally accumulate in a pile on my desk. If it only came with an attached pen holder I would be heaven! Nice looking, too. Safco Mesh Desk Organizer, 3 Horizontal/3 Upright Sections, 19.5 Inches Width x 8.25 Inches Height, Black (3254BL)

This is exactly what I hoped for. I was worried when I saw how small the box was, but my worries were gone the moment I set it on the desk.

This is of solid construction, yet aesthetically pleasing. It doesn't take up too much space, but holds a great deal of papers and folders. People have commented on it when they've come in my office.

The only weakness? I wish it had one more shelf or side slot. For some reason I can't explain, that would make it perfect.

This came in a plain box with very little padding, so I was afraid it would be damaged when I opened it. But I shouldn't have been worried - for such an affordable organizer, this is very sturdy and well-made. Many metal mesh things are kind of glued together, but the soldering / welding on this is well done. I wouldn't sit on it or anything, but you can put textbooks in the shelves without them bending at all, so stacks of paper should be no trouble at all. - Office Storage Supplies - Teacher - Desk Organizer'

Performance - flash drive, lexar


I've been looking for an ideal usb drive for quite some time, which means it should not have a cover that can fall off and with a good read/write speed. My previous favorite was the Lexar JumpDrive Swivel series which were built much better but are no longer made!



This drive is fast, has an all-in-one design (the casing itself fits onto your keyring), works with my Mac (OS X Snow Leopard) and looks great as well. In addition, the casing seems durable and weighs less than most plastic flash drives - you barely feel it on a keychain or in your pocket.



If you're looking for a simple and functional USB flash drive, this will serve your purpose. Lexar JumpDrive TwistTurn 32 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive LJDTT32GASBNA (Black)

I owned Sandisk keychain USB for years. Got a replacement new Sandisk USB - the keychain attachment broke after a week Sandisk would not replace the 10 cent keyring - cannot find small like that anywhere else.



So I bought Lexar JumpDrive. Great product. Durable, attaches to key ring--easy to carry around. It travels everywhere I go. It's a new product - I was hesitant to buy it online but I am glad I did.



Best design ever. If you like to have your USB everywhere you go, you'll be happy with this one.

I bought this USB flash drive on sale around Black Friday and what a deal it was. It's definitely worth even paying full price for. My computer recognized the drive immediately after I connected it, there are no unnecessary programs installed on it, and the whole twist-turn design is fantastic. It protects the drive when you're not using it, without really adding much room. It is very well constructed; doesn't feel cheaply made. You can also attach this drive to your key chain and bring it wherever you want.

I was looking for a memory stick that was an all-in-one design (no cap to lose), was inexpensive, and had a reasonable bit rate transfer.



I bought an Emtec unit (separately reviewed) and it was soooo slow.



This Lexar performs extremely well and I recommend it.



PS. I work for EMC Corporation, so I know storage! :)

Just received mine. It's a no-frills 64GB which is what I wanted. It came with absolutely NOTHING loaded on it, formatted Fat32, a tiny instruction manual about formatting it differently, my Vista recognized it fast, can fit just about any angle with its jacknife design, solid loop to connect a string to, dim light indicator so not to grab your attention everytime it lights up. Big enough for me to transport big Acronis or Ghost Images from one place to another without having to carry around AC cords and all with external drives. Just all around 5 stars.



Cons:

1. Probably won't survive a washing machine wash because it doesn't have a cap. But hey, be smart, keep it on your key chain, in your purse, or somewhere you won't wash it accidentally.

2. Price. I found mine for $127 at TigerDirect but looks like the price shot up $50 now.

I was so excited to have the convenience of 8GB on my keychain. Unfortunately, it stopped working after 4 days. I had it plugged into my Mac when the computer said something about removing the device improperly. Sadly, the flash drive was still plugged in. It no longer registers on my or any other computer. The light no longer comes on.



I am assuming this is an anomaly as the device has received rave reviews. Amazon is sending a replacement. I am putting trust in costumer reviews and hope my new Lexar 8GB flash drive lasts.

I needed a simple/quick way to get my MP3 collection (which had long since outgrown my old 16GB flash drive) into the Sync system in my Ford Flex. (BTW, Sync is an way-cool system, and the Flex is an very nice vehicle... but that's for another review.)



I first bought a Sandisk 32GB Cruzer... big mistake! I spent several hours removing U3, formatting, adding files, removing files, re-formatting, adding files again, resetting Sync to Factory defaults, updating Sync software, etc., until I finally gave up all hope of the 32GB Sandisk flash drive ever working, and I returned it, quite disappointed.



I decided to take a chance and try again with the Lexar 32GB Jumpdrive. Hooray, it just works! No messing around with removing software that I don't want or need, no re-formatting, nothing that I needed to do with Sync. I just copied my 32GB of MP3's onto the Lexar drive (writes were pretty fast; certainly faster than the Sandisk was), plugged it into the Sync USB port, and it works great!



I like devices that just work like they are supposed to, without making me do a lot of extra work myself!

This thumbdrive worked fine in the first couple weeks, then it became more and more unstable - sometimes it stops working suddenly, showing an error messge "device not recognized". I've tried a few computers and I'm sure this is not the problem of the computers. Other thumbdrives work well on those computers. Maybe I got a defect product?

This flash drive opens like a knife so you don't have to keep up with a plastic cover. Really like it. Also has an opening at one end for putting it on some sort of loop to keep up with it better, if you want.



My computer tech friend suggested it -- said he has had one for a long time...uses it on his calls...and never had a problem with it. - Lexar - 32gb - Jump Drive - Flash Drive'

lamp timer - lamp timer, programmable timer


The other reviews of this item are essentially spot-on. The programming procedure is tedious, and would be IMPOSSIBLE without the instructions. Once that hurdle was cleared, the thing seems to function as advertised. Be careful pushing extra buttons, they will delete your settings in a heartbeat! Westek TE06WHB 2 Outlet Digital Timer with 2 Grounded Outlet, White

This thing was so easy to program it took reading a small paragraph to program the whole thing. It just works. I had a little difficulty mastering the manual auto button but that can be explained by mine is tucked behind my desk. I dont have visual contact and that is my problem. It is a great product by my standards and you should by 2 for the price they are selling them.

First one didn't work. Very good return policy and replacement works well. Dual three-prong outlets are nice. Good programmable capacity. Took a little re-reading to finally get it but if I can do it, any one can! - Programmable Timer - Lamp Timer'

Stührling Original - automatic, skeleton watch


I got this watch in Nov. 2008. It was great for the first four months. Then one day I looked down at it to check the time and noticed there was a heavy haze on the inside of the glass. If the watch was sealed properly, this would have never been an issue. After a few days, the haze went away, but then I noticed something rattling around in the watch. Upon a closer look, I noticed a little blue screw and some sort of gear rolling around at the bottom of the watch. There is a one year warranty through Stuhrling, but they want you to pay a $20 shipping cost to get it to them. $20 is extremely high to ship a watch and a rip off. Be cautious. The watch is beautiful, but it will probably fall apart very quickly. Stuhrling Original Men's 165B.331554 Lifestyle Winchester Grand Automatic Skeleton Watch

I consider myself a male fashionista for the most part, and generally do not buy watches that are not produced by reputable, high end companies, with my previous watches being Gucci, Tag Heuer, etc.



I do however own lower grade watches, but again have stuck to larger known companies such as Timex, Kenneth Cole, Eddie Bauer, without issue.



I had never heard of Stuhrling, found limited information on them and was entirely skeptical of the quality and appearance this watch could have.



However, Amazon was offering a great price, and the watch "appeared" to be very largely discounted (though I don't give much credibilty to the regular prices, thus discounts shown here), and thus the price was such that I was comfortable taking a chance regardless.



All I can say is I am INCREDIBLY HAPPY with this watch!! It is simply gorgeous to look at, very good quality, and much more than I expected! I can honestly say that people are always asking me to see it, asking where I got it, and it draws the attention of watches 20x its price!



So if you seek a funky, semi-blinged out watch that can be worn formally or informally, don't even think about it! Get this watch!



Lastly, if you are ordering this item as a gift, you will be VERY pleasantly surprised by the packaging it comes in. There was a VERY expensive looking, felt lined yellow embossed sturdy rectangular box it came in, with all kinds of warranty/official info/logo etc., tags and documents also enclosed. The packaging makes the watch appear to be much much more expensive than it is! Thus a great gift to give if you ask me!



The ONLY negative I can offer about this watch is that it does work on kinetic energy, and if you don't wear it often, it will always have the wrong time and need to be reset. However, once set and wound, it works flawlessly!



Great choice.

My wife bought me this watch for my birthday and I am writing this review under her name. I got the watch on a tuesday, opened it up around 6:00 in the evening it was beautiful, looks just like the pictures. Wound it up, put it on my wrist and was a happy camper. The leather band takes a little while to break in, maybe 3 days of wearing. Thursday evening I got home from work and looked at my wrist, but my watch had stopped. I tried widing it, shaking it to get it to auto wind, wound the spring all the way up but to no avail. So its about 6:30 by this time. I call Amazon and tell them what happened, the next day there was a new watch sitting at my doorstep, free of charge, with a label to send the broken one back with. No hassle, that was great. I have had my new one for about 2 weeks now and I am extremely happy with it. I wind it every couple of days and it has been running just fine. I set it when I got it and have not had to adjust the time at all. I was a little leary because some reviewers said it doesnt keep time very well and that you will have to reset it every few days, but 2 1/2 weeks into it the watch is keeping perfect time and hasnt seemed to lose even a second. I would recommend it to other people, it is a little bit large for my taste but since the band has worn in it seems to sit nicer on my wrist than it did when I first got it. I get many compliments on it and I love just staring at it watching the 'guts' move.

I bought this watch for my husband as a Christmas gift. The second day wearing it, it started making rattle sounds, like a piece was loose. One week later, it stopped working. We did not send it back because we live overseas and it was not worth the hassle. Poor crafstmanship, poor quality materials, worst watch I have ever bought. We threw it in the garbage can, did not even bother taking it to our jeweler to get it fixed

I got this watch as a birthday present. I wanted something different from the Nixons and Fossils I already own and this was exactly it. Some people have commented on how the metal insides are not polished from the back, but its just the back of the numbers, the gears are shiny and look really cool. I like the contrast between the flat and shiny insides when looking through the back so that doesn't bother me. To date I haven't had any problems with it. Everything works great and from someone who has bought much more expensive watches, I don't think it feels cheap or shoddily made at all. As for its ability to keep time, manual watches (including this self winding watch) are never as precise as quartz watches. This is a commonly known fact, you will always lose a couple seconds a day in a watch that is based on springs whereas the quartz uses an electromagnetic pulse that can be calculated very precisely. Mechanical watches are also not as durable as quartz watches, they are more delicate and require special care. This is not a watch to take out camping or dirt biking. Too much jostling and slamming around can damage the gears and knock pieces loose, this is just a characteristic of mechanical watches. Don't knock this watch for something that it wasn't designed to do. It is a beautiful timepiece that at least for now has performed exactly as I expected it to. If you want something extremely precise and durable, buy a quartz watch but you will lose out on the really cool skeleton features. Otherwise buy a more expensive mechanical watch! - Automatic - Skeleton Watch - Watches - Stuhrling'
