Great Fun!.......2002-11-08

I love this book! Everyone who owns a computer has all the necessary components at their disposal to make the arts and crafts projects or games and puzzles created by the author. It's a lot of fun, and would make a terrific stocking stuffer, pollyanna gift, or housewarming present, for anyone on your holiday list!

Totally demented.......2002-10-28

I read an interview with the author in the New York Times and thought this book sounded pretty cool. Now that I have it, I can report that it is totally demented. The activities are completely nuts--what kind of person thinks this stuff up?--but the amazing thing is, they all really work. Even the Floppy Disk Halloween Mask. And the drawings are terrific. Best of all it even comes with a mouse-pad cover. It's a great gift for the computer geek in your life.

Book Description

The Rebel Housewife Rules is a whole new set of rules for today's housewives. The book contains 38 short chapters—four pages each—because that is about all that a mom can read locked in the bathroom with a three-year-old while the dog vomits outside the door.

Each chapter:

• Exposes a myth about being a housewife: "Compared to an outside career, taking care of a house and family—and myself—will be a breeze."

• Reveals the reality behind the myth: "My husband comes home to a disheveled wife, a disaster of a house, and laundry all over the stairs."

• Lays down a new rule: "Your day will never go as planned."

• And offers a rule Rx, a prescription for real domestic happiness: "Be proud of your most important accomplishments every day."

Following the often hilarious adventures and advice of Rebel Housewives Sherri Caldwell and Vicki Todd, readers learn to be themselves, get what they want, and love in new and deeper ways. Sherri and Vicki share their hard-won wisdom in this "survivors' guide" to momhood, housecleaning, budgets, self-care, and love after kids and babies. Bottom line? Happiness is more important than passing the white-glove test.

In The Rebel Housewife Rules, the recently engaged, new brides, or long-married wives find the courage to live by the greatest housewife rule of all: "Live, Love, and Laugh, one day at a time, baby."

Delightful reading for all women - except June Cleaver!.......2006-05-24

What mommy and/or wife doesn't wish sometimes that Calgon would REALLY take her away?

The Rebel Housewife Rules by Sherri Caldwell and Vicki Todd is a compilation of delightful personal anecdotes that most wives and mothers (except the Stepford variety) will relate to. It will not only keep you smiling from start to finish; but it will remind you that you don't have to be perfect, like the Kool Aid mom on TV. Your family will love you, even if you aren't June Cleaver.

This amusing, lighthearted book frees women from the myths many of us grew up believing, such as:

* You can turn a frog into a prince (i.e. change your husband),

* A Normal Rockwell Christmas is possible (without fist fights under the tree and mashed potatoes flying at the table).

* If I'm a good mom, I'll produce perfect children

Rebel Housewife Rules is an enjoyable read that reminds women to keep things in perspective, remember what's most important, and take one day at a time. Most of all it reinforces what we all know deep down: we should just relax and enjoy our families. This delightful book will help you to do all that you really CAN do: live, love, and laugh.

So fun to read!!.......2005-01-30

I'm a stay at home mother of 2. This book helps you laugh at yourself especially when you have those crazy days!! This is a good book for any woman who is married or not, w/kids or not and working or staying at home. We can all have a laugh with this book and learn tidbits of info on how to make it better!

Funny and Entertaining!.......2004-12-23

This book is hilarious! The writing style is fun and familiar and the book is hard to put down. Sherri and Vikki did a great job of making the every day job of being a wife and mother hysterically funny. I have to admit, this book also made me feel better about all of my shortcomings. Who knew that other mothers and wives felt the same way? It is a great read and I highly recommend it!

Fun, Delightful and Upbeat!.......2004-11-07

I had the grand privilege to meet Sherri this summer. She was a warm delightful woman. Consequently, it came as no surprise when I read " Rebel Housewife Rules..." to find it equally delightful and upbeat. (I get the sense that the other half of the dynamic duo, Vicki Todd, also ranks high on the delight-o-meter scale.)

The book is fun, warm and very real. It deals with women's core life issues of husbands, children, family, friends, sex, house repairs, and nurturing one's self. It talks about how to have an affair...with your husband. You get helpful advice for real women in the real world, i.e., when you find yourself near the breaking point with your husband, kids and chaos, put a little Kahlua in your coffee. (Yea!)

Although the book is chock full of funny moments and clever humor, there are creative practical suggestions on how to cope with being a woman, mother, wife, daughter-in-law, and yes, an actual person. One particular suggestion I love is that we pay our children to do their chores and if they fail to complete their chores, leaving us to do them, we take money out of their account. They pay us to do their chores! Great idea. (Dr. Phil would be proud.)

Each chapter exposes a myth, for example: The Myth, "Honesty is the best policy in marriage, family and life," then offers The Reality, "We all need `little white lies' to get by...." Then we get The Rule, "Learn to keep your mouth shut so your foot can't get in," and then the Rebel RX: "If you can't say something nice... make something up." (I love that line!)

There wasn't one of the thirty-eight busted myths that I couldn't relate to in a big way. It praises the human spirit and lets us chuckle at ourselves. The book exposes our human foibles and reinforces that all important wisdom we sometimes forget: to be perfect...well, just doesn't happen.

With tasty tidbits for women in their everyday lives, "Rebel Housewife Rules..." is a fun, upbeat book for fun, upbeat women.

Party with a Purpose.......2007-08-11

This book put me back in touch with the reasons I joined a Party Plan business. It reminded me how we can have an effect on other's lives by sharing a gift of owning their own business and how precious that gift can be. Pat Pearson knows and shows us how women's emotions and feelings can help or hinder us with our business once we understand how it affects us. With this knowledge, we can certainly make a difference in our lives and others. This book put me and my heart back in my business of helping others build and reach their dreams.

Book Description

Parties with a Purpose is a fresh, helpful guide to purposeful partying for the entire church family. It is packed with out-of-the-ordinary ideas to get you thinking, inviting, and ministering and #151;to help church people learn to enjoy each other's company, reach out to newcomers, and rediscover the art of friendship.

"This book could have easily been entitled, How to Win the World Through Caring Friendship. Here is an array of practical suggestions for connecting with neighbors and work associates so that we can express the kind of relationships wherein Christ's love becomes known. In a post-modern world that hungers for truth to be wrapped in something more than pat phrases and declarations, Marlene LeFever shows us how to incarnate the Gospel in real friendships. In the midst of great proposals for how to set up progressive dinners, special holiday celebrations, housewarmings, and baby showers, Marlene offers us far more. In Parties with a Purpose, she offers us a theology of friendhsip and a host of real life stories that translate into guidance for living out Christian Hospitality." and #151; Tony Campolo, Eastern College, St. Davids, PA

"Relationships are our greatest need and our greatest fear. We long to connect but struggle with knowing how. Parties with a Purpose provides structure and strategies for your church through hospitality. Building community is one of the keys to effective ministry within our post-modern world and this book will give you the necessary tools to make it happen." and #151;Ken Baugh, Director of Frontline Ministries, McClean Bible Church, McClean, VA

Book Description

By Shirley L. Barrett, Allen's Nursing Home, West Kingston, Rhode Island. This unique game book will be ideal for use in nursing, convalescent and retirement homes; rehabilitation hospitals; senior day care centers; and other residential institutions. It contains forty-two parties, each based on a central theme—seasonable, historical or topical—with over one hundred related, challenging games that encourage maximum participation for all players, including the mentally and physically impaired. The games require a minimum of preparation and can be easily directed by one person. They range from old favorites with a new twist to original games devised to exercise specific mental processes: word square and category games; body language, sound-alike, proverb and picture identification games; association games; rhythmic and creative games; and bean bag and relay games. All games have been tested for high interest level, ease of play, and maximum effectiveness in stimulating group interaction and individual achievement. Helpful tips for insuring staff cooperation, handling problem players, and keeping the parties flexible and interesting are provided.

Microsoft Press Computer Dictionary defines terms and acronyms pertaining to all areas of computing, including hardware, networks, programming, applications, and databases. Unlike some dictionaries, it does not attempt to tackle companies, well-known commercial products, proprietary technologies (except some from Microsoft itself), and cyberculture. However, it does an excellent job of clarifying concepts and explaining abstruse technical terms in easy-to-understand language. This dictionary is a fine resource for either beginning or advanced computer users.

Book Description

The fifth edition of the award-winning MICROSOFT COMPUTER DICTIONARY now features more than 10,000 entries! It's been fully updated and expanded to cover the latest technologies and terminology you will encounter at work or home-from encryption to XML, Linux to Microsoft .NET, Tablet PCs to digital TV. MICROSOFT COMPUTER DICTIONARY clearly and authoritatively defines computer terms and concepts-including the myriad acronyms, jargon, and slang the high-tech industry generates!

First Buy. Great Success........2007-01-29

The Fifth Edition of the Microsoft Computer Dictionary was a great addition to my personal library. I am new to personal computers and am very much in need O- level literature. Books like this one and other Microsoft publications are indeed a great boon to amateur scientists of my age.

Very helpful.......2004-05-05

I get a bit nervous at the idea that a company like Microsoft would get into the business of Computer Dictionaries out of concern for a conflict of interest - that perhaps words specific to competitors might be left out or altered. However, there is something compelling about the idea of a dictionary of computer related words written by people who are in the business of using those words, and I do find this edition to be fairly balanced.

Consider the entries on Netscape Navigator and Linux:

"Netscape Navigator n. The widely used family of Web browser programs, made by Netscape Corporation. Versions of Netscape Navigator are available for the Windows and Macintosh platforms, and for many varieties of UNIX. Netscape Navigator, which is based on NCSA's Mosaic Web Browser, was one of the first commercially available Web browsers. In 1999, Netscape Corporation was purchased by America Online."

"Linux n. A version of the UNIX System V Release 3.0 kernel developed for PCs with 80386 and higher -level microprocessors. Developed by Linus Torvalds (for whom it is named) along with numerous collaborators world-wide, Linux is distributed free, and its source code is open to modification by anyone who chooses to work on it, although some companies distribute it as part of a commercial package with Linux-compatible utilities. The Linux kernel works with the GNU utilities developed by the Free Software Foundation, which did not produce a kernel. It is used by some as an operating system for network servers and in the 1998/1999 timeframe began to gain increased visibility through support from vendors such as IBM and Compaq."

All in all, this dictionary is comprehensive and precise, and I highly recommend it.

GOOD, BUT NOT THE BEST VALUE.......2003-02-16

Yes, this edition of "Microsoft Computer Dictionary" has been revised and updated, when compared to the previous editions. Its 10,000 entries centered on software, hardware, and internet terms. They are easy to understand. But the fact that Microsoft stopped adding attached CD-ROMs (with this edition), without any significant price reduction is irritating. It depicts the company's insensitivity to the consumer needs.
However, this is not a bad dictionary to use, if you will tolerate this latest arrogance. It contains some new acronyms on XML, Xbox, tablet PCs, and wireless network. But, be aware that there are other computer dictionaries in the market, which offer much more for less money: including attached CD-ROMs.

Microsoft Computer Dictionary , Fifth Edition by MICROSOFT P.......2002-05-26

I personally think that as far as Computer Dictionaries go this is an excellent one , but I must WARN YOU.... If you looking for the accompanying CD that came with all the past versions , YOUR OUT OF LUCK.... I think portability is a big factor and having the book on CD in the field is much easier than lugging the desktop book around.. EITHER "MICROSOFT" PRESS IS GETTING REALLY CHEAP OR BILL IS GETTING PARANOID OVER ALL THE LAWSUITS AND DECIDED TO SAVE SOME MONEY , I DON'T KNOW.. I DO KNOW THAT I GIVE THIS BOOK THREE STARS BECAUSE OF THIS , OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE GIVEN IT A HIGHER RATING... So be AWARE of this.......
