The 3 books are interesting in the perspective they bring. They’re entertaining at the very least. Whether they are “divinely” inspired is another question. I’m sure some see Walsch as yet another of God’s spokesmen, or the Devil’s. I don’t elevate him to that level.

I do have to commend him though, he’s built quite a cottage industry for himself. He’s milking it for all it’s worth, with a pay for website, and I don’t know, at least 10 books in the “Conversations with God” series, with probably more coming.

If I come across as a bit sarcastic, it’s because I am, if these books are “divinely” inspired, I wish the Almighty would think of ANOTHER way beside writing books or using words to communicate by proxy. The method’s been tried to ad nauseum, and frankly it hasn’t worked out very well. Surely, being “God”, he has more powerful ways of communicating, but then again, maybe He needs a lesson in PR.

It’s interesting, on the more tricky questions of application of these principles that Walsch puts to “God”, the Almighty seemed to me to dodge them with rather glib and pat answers.

My point, and why so many of these self help and also religious books are like cotton candy, they taste good, but have no nutritional value. And that’s because the things they try to “teach” can’t be done so through words. They have to be EXPERIENCED for them to sink in.

That’s why so many people brought up on endless Bible (fill in the blank with any other religious text) classes, or those who read self help books (I’m one of them) still don’t get it, because they have no way to experientially connect with the teachings.

Words don’t conduct experience very well. Yes, some people find just the “right” words which “open” the door of their understanding, through whatever means, but the vast majority of us struggle with half baked understanding because the meaning of the words haven’t been experienced.

Tosca Reno s Eat

“Let’s Eat Out!” covers a very difficult topic, restaurant dining for people with food allergies and intolerances. For adults who should avoid top allergens due to mild to moderate food allergies and intolerances, this can be a very useful book. I have already referenced it a few times for some restaurant inspiration, outside of my usual Asian selections.

The book itself is stylishly laid out with color-coded chapters, strategically placed photographs, useful charts, and sample menus. It addresses ten of the most common food allergens: dairy, eggs, wheat, gluten (an intolerance), soy, peanuts, tree nuts, corn, fish, and shellfish.

It should be noted, that this book was written with celiac disease, multiple food “sensitivities”, and gluten intolerance in mind. It may not be very appropriate for those who have life-threatening food allergies or severe intolerances. This is not to blame the authors. The various styles of food preparation combined with a high risk of cross-contamination in food service kitchens, make this a complicated area to address. Though, as one food allergy mom pointed out to me, the “Allergy-Free” title is a bit deceiving in this respect.

Also, for those who do have true food allergies, this book should not be used as a dining bible, but more as a suggestion based resource for further research and diligence. As someone who lives with a milk protein allergy, I unfortunately noted many errors with respect to the foods listed as “not containing the allergen.” Guacamole (often made with sour cream), margarine (frequently contains lactose and/or milk protein), and sausages (many brands contain cheese) were just a few that caused me to raise the red flag. Your own questions and food label reading would still be required when utilizing this book.

Luckily, the authors do relay what questions to ask, and in many different languages. Kim Koeller has traveled extensively while living with multiple food allergies. This is well evidenced b

To tell the truth, if you want to master the c++. This is not the book. I should have read the book description more carefully before buying this book.

As of today I have not completed this book. So far I have been very disappointed. It is not for children to read as it is so vulgar it disgust me. I am no prude but it seems no sentence is complete with out repeated curse words. Louise

I love this scale. It’s lightweight, easy to see the number, and I like the incremental fractional pounds. I bought it to replace an old and antiquated scale I’d had for 20 years which was always 6+ lbs off. This one is easier to read, you don’t have to guess if you’re a pound up or a pound down, as one did in trying to read the “lines” between the 5-lb markers on the old one. It seems to be accurate, as it jibes with health offices’ scales. Good product for the price.

I received one of these pedometers as a gift a few years back and have had absolutely no problems with it, so when my retired parents both got into walking and were using crappy pedometers that wouldn’t keep the step counts and couldn’t be reset, I knew exactly what they needed. So I ordered two, gave one to my mom for Mother’s Day and sure as heck, my dad wanted one of his own….good thing I thought ahead! I really recommend this pedometer. It is easy to use, easy to read, accurate…but I really like that it works equally well in your pocket and doesn’t have to be on your hip. Keep the instructions, because when you change the batteries (about once a year or less) you will need to set it up again.

I have been using Office 2000 since 1999, so this is a big upgrade for me and, so far, I like it! The Ultimate Edition is very complete. Got it for a good price, as well, with my Amazon Gift Certificates. Can hardly wait to see what Office 2010 is like. I highly recommend this. I installed and am using it on Windows 7.

This tool works just like I saw on You Tube. Both my dog’s and cat’s coats are now very smooth and silky. It is best to brush the pets while outside as the hair flies everywhere. I have recommended this to many of my friends.

Great product!
