Deer-Resistant Landscaping: Proven Advice and Strategies for Outwitting Deer and 20 Other Pesky Mammals
$23.95
Never having dealt with deer or gophers before we moved to a new place with signs of both, I felt like this book did a great job of explaining about the critter and its ways and habits, then gave an overview of techniques for dealing with them. I suspect there's not enough depth and detail if you are in a serious ongoing war - and these are hard problems, I didn't come away with much optimism that it was going to be easy! but I think this is a great reference to have when you need to get started, realistic about the seriousness, and it covers a good number of possible pest animals.

3M Command 17605B Water-Resistant Replacement Strips, Large
$4.59
I have used Command strips many times and had the shower caddy in my bathroom for 3 years - it was always full and never moved. We recently moved to a new place and I ordered the water-resistant strips so I could rehang the caddy. Unfortunately, I discovered the strips do not adhere to textured tiles. I tried twice, waiting 48 hours before using it the second time but still no luck. I am very disappointed but this is still a great product and I will continue to use them in other areas.

Casio Women's Baby-G Grey Jelly Shock Resistant Sports Watch #BG169-8V
$79.95
I have worn Timex Ironmans for about as long as I can remember. I wanted a change, my huband has always touted a giant G-shock for as long as I can remember, so I stepped off the ledge.
What a waste of time money and energy!
1) This watch is not intuitive; you can't simply zap through it and figure it out-- thou shalt break out manual or you will NEVER be able to even set it.
2) Strap & watch body-- It'd been more comfortable if I had built the thing out of an old frozen orange juice can
3) Mobil icons; spinning globe and flickering whale make me want to sink this thing to the bottom of the ocean! When the minute changes the digital numbers do this rapid change over thing-- ANNOYING TO NO END!
4)Horrible to do any recalls/ laps etc; getting to the splits etc is like talking to the IRS.

On the plus and the only reason it gets a star-- the built in face guards are great especially if you are really active and prone knocking your watch on things like a door frame as you turn a corner-- oh, and you can set so you know how many days you've owned it.
Yuck... what a disappointment.

Microplane 34007 Cut Resistant Glove
$24.95
I absolutly love this. I bought this to use with my mandolin. It's a piece of mind knowing that in case I slip with the guard, I have this glove as backup. I think in the near future I'll buy another glove for the othr hand, just in case I forget and do something stupid with the other hand! Getting cut is no picnic. For me it takes about a week to heal (minor cuts/no tendons involved) and doing my daily chores takes forever.
