I like this card because the quality is fair and the price is very good.
Homoeopathy Heart and Soul
_Heart of Veridon_ is an enjoyable pulp crime story that takes place in an excellent steampunk fantasy setting.
At first, it isn’t clear how the fantasy aspect matters. When an artifact of unknown significance falls into the hands of downfallen ex-pilot and small-time criminal Jacob Burn, people start trying to kill him. He doesn’t know why. He doesn’t understand who is after him. He’s not sure whom he can trust. And for a while, it doesn’t particularly matter that he is a steampunk cyborg in a city full of steampunk cyborgs, steam-driven trams, mysterious religions, and at least a couple of intelligent non-human minority populations. He’s just a tough guy on the run, doing whatever it takes to escape and figure out what’s going on.
But long before the end, hidden truths about Veridon open up, and the fantasy elements begin to make a difference in how the story unfolds. While some of Veridon’s secrets are foreshadowed a little too heavily, others are completely surprising. The linkage of plot and setting turns out to be very solid and, along with some fairly engaging action, makes the story worth reading.
There are a few rough spots, though. It’s hard to like the way that the main character antagonizes his own friends and acquaintances. Several supporting characters aren’t developed as strongly as their roles in the story probably merit. The names for people and things, given the exotic quality of the setting, are sometimes absurdly mundane (I had to assume I was reading names translated into English equivalents). And the ending is abrupt and feels slightly implausible based on facts established within the story–it works, but the poignancy the author aimed at is undermined by questions about whether it should work.

I used this on a pomeranian, who loves to be groomed, a sheppard chow mix who hates to be groomed, two Mainecoon cats that hate to be combed and two short hair plain ordinary (but don’t tell them) cats who love to be combed. All six pets agreed this thing was fantastic. Even the Maincoons purred and didn’t try to run off. The Sheppard/chow wagged her tail didn’t try to sit down or walk off.
The Sheppard/chow is one of those dogs that has the never ending tuffs of fur coming off her all summer long. One good combing with her and she was good for two weeks. I think it is amazing I have never found a comb like this before.
Love it five stars!
Straight from the Heart
I’m not really a kid but I’m writing this review through a family members account & I don’t want their name on here.
I’ve got 5 brothers, they all say they had to read this book for school (4 had to read it in junior high, one read it in high school).
I didn’t have to read it for school but happened to come across it on a vacation & ended up reading it on the plane ride home.
This book is very good & entertaining, however, while reading it I could not think of why a school would feel that it is appropriate for kids to be reading for a report.
I would never let my kids read this book while living under my roof (yea yea, I know, you can’t stop your kids from doing stuff but in an ideal world where this was possible, I would never let them read it).
For an adult that wants to somewhat relive their childhood, give it a try.
While the character is very hateful & kind of an ass, some stuff he goes through is stuff most people go through so it may bring back a memory or two.
I liked this book for the plane ride but don’t think I’d ever want to read it again. The character was too much of an ass & I’d rather not ’see’ him again.

The Joy of My I enjoy and appreciate all of Anne Graham Lotz’ books. This is another “winner” for

This scale is exactly what I was looking for! It’s accurate and easy to use- you just step on! The numbers are large and easy to read; no more squinting to see what line my scale is pointing to! The only teeny thing that I feel I have to mention is that I store my scale upright, so every time I put it on the floor to use it, it needs to recalibrate itself. However, that just means I have to step on, get a false reading, step off, wait a couple of seconds for it to recalibrate, and then step on again to get my accurate weight. It’s not a hassle for me at all- in fact, I appreciate the accuracy- but I just thought I’d mention it.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this scale.
Meditations of My Heart
I live in an area where your car will definitely be broken into if there are suction cup marks from a GPS on your windshield or dash, so I purchased this to avoid having to constantly wipe things down. I saw this product, and though I was a little unsure of how well it would work, I gave it a try. I’ve been nothing but happy with this.
- Does not budge, even when I place it where my dashboard is sloped
- Didn’t even move when I was rear-ended in traffic!
- The ability to readjust position instantly while drive it perfect, I can have it where it works for me to look at while driving, but I can ask my passenger to look something out and they just slide it to their side of the vehicle and then put it back when they are done
- No rings to clean up like I would have had from a suction mount
- No velcro or glue marks like a permanent mount, but just as sturdy
- A little bulky, but I just turn it upside down and slide it under my seat when I get out of the vehicle and that works fine (if you have a decent sized glove box or center console that’s not already full it would fit there too if you just unclick the piece from each other
Would buy again!
Sins of the Heart
CRIMES OF THE HEART tells the story of three sisters reuniting together after the youngest of the trio (Babe) shoots her husband and is on the verge of being sent to prison. The story takes place deep in the south in Hazlehurst, Mississippi.
The writing in this play is superb. It captures the spirit of each of the young women splendidly. However, moving as the story is, it isn’t quite poetical and thereby misses perfection.
Nevertheless, CRIMES OF THE HEART is an enjoyable piece of theatre displaying the daffy complexity of women seen through the lives of three sisters.
Crimes of the Heart
If you want a vacuum that does its job, this is the vacuum you want. It’s not fancy. It doesn’t sport a windtunnel or some other catchy feature. It is just a good quality vacuum that sucks up the dirt effectively. Exactly what I wanted at a very reasonable price. Only negative thing I experience was I had to replace the belt shortly after I got it…..so I add $5 to the total price. Still very satisfied.
