5.0 out of 5 stars Love it, Oct 8 2011
I've been a Sonicare user for years. The first one had a changeable brush similar to this one. They updated to a different attachment and I couldn't find the old brushes to fit the old one, so I updated, too. The second one did not last as long because the "better idea" attachment did not hold up like the old one.
So this one is my third Sonicare toothbrush and they've gone back and redesigned the first one; this is the best one so far. I'm not sure about the recharger design (it's kind of flimsy, doesn't "grasp" the handle very well) but I really like the toothbrush and how it's brushes are attached.

4.0 out of 5 stars Big numbers, easy to see, Oct 8 2011
The descriptor said it was gray - I could not see the colour in the photo.
It arrived a very light pink with a gray stripe. I fear it will pick up dark colouring from my clothes, etc. and may look "dirty" over time.
However, I LOVE the big numbers which are easily read by my less-than-perfect eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Pleased, Oct 8 2011
This carafe not only looks good and is easily cleaned, it really keeps cold water cold for a very long time. I use this for water. Ice put in one day can stay so cold overnight that there is still ice rattling in it the next day.
Very pleased with this purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tepid, Spilled Coffee, Oct 8 2011
I selected this item for it's good looks on-line. I was fooled. It only LOOKS good on your table.
It really doesn't keep a hot drink hot for any length of time.
You can't pour it into a cup without disappointment. Either you can't get enough to come out to pour evenly, or (if you loosen the lid too much) it will come splashing out all over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Changed my life ... ..., May 14 2010
This book literally changed my life.
I was so relieved to find within it all the intelligently constructed arguments that rang so true with me that I no longer felt any pangs of guilt for not believing in "the Faith of my Fathers". I loved this book. Now I feel I must read all the rest of Hitchen's books. It's all there. The total proof of evolution lies just down the road in the Burgess Shale. Now I have no doubts. There is no god. Man invented him in his own image. I don't need it.
Thank you Christopher Hitchens.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well aged - like wine or cheese, Jan 30 2010
Kris' voice is aging. He sounds smoky, gravelly, very low. He can't hit a high note, but gawd can he ever make the low ones hit you closer to the bone. I've aged along with Kris. I listen to the cds he made when he was young and his voice is magic - now I listen to this album and fall in love with his lyrics all over again. Kris is a writer - a poet - he tells it like it is, as you get older, everything hits you - closer to the bone.
I love this album and every song on it.
