This is an item that I now wished I had been smart enough to carry all along, especially when using rope, dog leashes, fishing line, or any rope or string-type arrangement.  Fortunately, I attribute my safe-being to "Divine Intervention" as I've had two close-calls which finally got me to listen to that "Little Voice" saying, "Buy a line cutter!"

On my first occasion, my leg became entangle in a power-kite line.  Fortunately for me, the large kite was luffing at the time I realized my emergency, but just after I quickly untangled my ankle, the kite suddenly caught a gust of Texas wind and the sturdy "cable-like" power kite cable would have easily severed my ankle to the bone!

Just a couple of weeks ago, we took our little precious dog with us on vacation.  I was taking the little guy out for his evening walk from our motel room through the elevator, to hopefully head outside.  As the elevator doors began closing after my pushing the buttons, I suddenly realized the little guy had his own mind made up to retreat the other direction down the hall.  I panicked looking for a button to open the elevator doors...then I tried to put my hands in between the doors to no avail.  My heart sank as the doors closed and I still had hold of the dog leash that had a secondary strap around my wrist!  My Swiss Army Money Clip pocket knife was my only hope which I always keep clipped to my T-shirt collar.  Just then, the elevator took off to the next higher floors.  I was going nuts.  I finally cut the line after going two floors higher.  I was heartsick thinking this little guy had been dragged up against the elevator doors and was likely choking to death.  I returned to our floor only to find his little vaccination tags and license on the floor next to the elevator doors.  My heart was crushed.  Then, I suddenly looked away down the hall and saw him looking back at me a few feet away as if to say, "I didn't want to go on that elevator!".  By the grace of God and old age, I had hooked his leash onto his tag ring rather than the sturdier steel collar ring, thus, the weaker ring easily expanded to release him.  My mind and heart were on their proverbial knees in gratitude.  I vowed never to let this happen again, so I've bought four of these line cutters and will not walk a dog again without one.

I also won't fly two-line kites, anymore, to boot!  If you fly power kites, I strongly recommend using the four (4) line kite design that utilizes the bottom two lines as "brake-lines".  They allow you to hold the kite in position by defusing the wind's hold on the kite.  Hope you all will learn from my experiences, but I'm sure you may possibly have stories that are not so fortunate, and if that's the case, my heart goes out to you.  Folks, this item is not an option, THIS IS A NECESSITY!  If you parachute, dive, walk a dog, fish, go boating, water ski, or drive a car with a seat belt -- anything that has the possibility of entanglement or entrapment of you or a loved one, BUY ONE OF THESE AND KEEP IT WITHIN IMMEDIATE REACH!  Last comment -- I preferred this model because the blades are replaceable, angled for cutting ease, and the grip allows full-hand grasp for a positive hold.  This particular cutter feels sturdy and I trust it will do the job.

I wish I could give this product less than a zero rating. Magnet is weak; while it stuck to my refrigerator without a problem, the knives shift constantly AND I narrowly escaped a serious accident.

When I was replacing one of my knives, my chef's knife flew off the magnetic strip and landed on the kitchen floor, embedding itself in the linoleum floor! Fortunately it missed my foot - otherwise it would have meant an ER visit!!!

Even worse, I can't even imagine that it could have hit my tiny five pound dog who was at my feet!!! I am sending this death trap back, and going to just give up on the idea of keeping my knives on a magnetized strip.

I got caught in a rip current and would have drowned to death if not for this life saver! It's not meant to be a life safer (primarily), but can be one secondarily. Seriously there's no way I could have survived the 3' waves going over my head in the rip current had I not been wearing this.

Be careful! One of my dogs pulled the other way and then ran back... and I fell from it.
I would not recommend this unless you are a strong person

I thought I was going to die after 10 minutes! I ended up gifting it to a friend, who also said there was no way in God's name she would ever be able to finish an entire work out. So it sits on a shelf now... collecting dust!

72 hours ago, I went running outside with my iPhone 5 tucked inside of my sports bra. I had my iPhone case on and I thought if I took out from my bra on occasion, I did not have to worry about damaging the device. The truth was I knew I took a gamble, but I couldn't find my arm band and I was pressed for time. Wrong decision!!! I was on the home stretch of my jog, endorphins high, great breeze, good tunes, and then my phone turns off!! The iPhone overheats and shuts down. My sweat over heated AND soaked the device.

Panicked, I went online looking for information on the iPhone warranty and discovered that water damaged is not covered, even within the 1-year warranty. I had ATT insurance and found out that my deductible for the phone is $200 ($229 if you go through ATT). This sucked. I knew that I had a short period before the circuits are totally fried and that even if I bought something online, it would be chancing it to wait beyond the 24 hour time of accident.

My first idea was to place the iPhone in a container of rice-that doesn't work, I did that with my iPhone 4 and it still died. Then I remembered reading a Yahoo article about how Desiccant products can dry the phone and feeling desperate, I put it to the test. I went to Walmart and bought the Device Dryer for $8, followed the package's instructions, and placed the device in bag.
Periodically throughout the process I tried turning it on (did not work). After 72 hours and with the thought of plopping down another $200 on a device, I decided to take it out of the dryer bag and plug it into my car charger (I was on my way to work) and I saw the charging sign on my phone. It worked!!!

The Dryer Device is an absolute must have for an iPhone owner! It really does work. I recommend keeping the phone in the bag for 72 hours, rather than 48, to be absolutely sure to remove any remaining moisture within the device. Thanks DI!

I received this doll, or one very similar to it, from a carney at milk bottle game during a thunderstorm somewhere off I-56 on the night of a full moon.  When I brought it home (I was going to give it to my niece for her birthday)its eyes started to flutter up and down rapidly.  I looked for the battery port, but it didn't seem to require any.  The head than begin to spin around.  I attempted to locate an on and off switch when it kicked me.  I was surprised at this mechanical malfunction, but more surprised that the force of the kick was exceptional, knocking me five to seven feet back and into the wall of my garage.  At this point I thought I should locate the name or maker of the doll, but when I attempted to inspect it the doll informed me that it was a disciple of the Dark Lord Morakath, that it wanted my soul, and that I would burn, burn, BURN, for all eternity.  I attempted to pull up the back of the Lavender Satin PJ's, only to discover that rather than a plastic backing, there was an endless black eternal void which took three of my fingers.  From the void (and might I say--also before I could get the manufacturer name) came a massive tenticular beast that looked something like a squash on fire with tentacles the size of Twizzlers.  It proceeded to whip and burn two-thirds of my body, and removed an eyeball in the process.  I was keen to figure out where I should go to complain, but by this point I gauged my blood loss to be between three to four pints (I literally filled up pint glasses from the gouges in my neck), and I put the doll on the mantle until the next day.  That evening, my house exploded (luckily I was outside attempting to scare off a winged critter with my shotgun) and was sucked into the ground, so I never was able to find out who manufactured the doll.

The lavender pajamas, however, do fit American Girl Dolls, which is a definite plus, and the main reason I gave the doll three stars.

Having a horrible time ,trying to progra. This item , not simple not happy !

Just noting my experience being very similar to that of another poster (...and SCARY).
I had moved to another city and wasn't certain if I would stay longer than six-months, so I didn't want to invest in heavy furniture and a bed. I wanted everything to be as portable/mobile as possible. I'd be able to pack everything up within one hour and be on the road back home! So, while out shopping, I came across this exact same brand and model at a local Big Lots. The price was so reasonable that I had to give it a try. The bed comes with a large tote bag to carry it around (camping, place to place, etc.). It has a buil-in pump to inflate and deflate via a push-button. You can even adjust the firmness by monitoring the amount of air you allow into the bed. Built-in AC power-cord with built-in stow-away next to the pump. VERY COMFORTABLE!!!
The following is to express my similar experience to that of another poster (related to this bed). That person's experience was hilarious and brought to mind my recent similar happening.
The exact same thing happened to mine five months after purchasing it! I used mine every night. (One person). In the middle of the night, while sound asleep, I woke up freaking out by a loud POP, POP! I thought I either heard two gunshots comming from just outside the window, or "that dream was too real!" I looked around and didn't notice anything different with the mattress, so I went to sleep. I woke up a few hours later in the morning to a big air bulge running from head to foot near the middle of the mattress and one corner lower than the other. Like a sinking ship! But, here's the thing, I waited and waited, went to work and returned thinking it would be almost completely deflated. Well, it wasn't. It was still holding the air and in the same bulging shape as it was in the morning. So, I figured what happened is that some of the chambers collapsed, seperated or whatever, and so the air has redistrubeted into its current shape. I still use it but sleep cross-way on it. Oh and I purchased mine at a local Big Lots for Forty Dollars! Not bad! Under Ten Dollars a month. For the first five months I couldn't believe this was an air mattress, very comfortable and I sleep very good. I returned to the store to buy another but they didn't have any in stock, and being Big Lots, no telling when they'll get more if any again. So I decided to buy a pillow top bed as my main sleeper.

I could live with the few false alarms we had with our unit - but in January, when a knob on our natural gas stove had been left partially "on" - I came home to a house sickeningly filled with gas - and the Nighthawk blithely read "0 PPM".  No alarm - not a peep.  It was by the Grace of God that my house didn't explode when I flipped on the light switch before I smelled the gas.  An hour after opening all the doors and windows, our utility technician arrived - and her "gas sniffer" went crazy - it was still reading 4% concentration of gas.  I'm sure the initial concentration had been 3+ times that much.

If my light switch had sparked - I could have been killed.  For this unit to NOT have sounded any kind of alarm is truly scary.

How Embarrassing! I had my cart put together by my reliable son! I was so excited to finally not fear the blue finger pain of carrying tons of groceries in hand.  The next day, I took my cart out for shopping purposes. The cart was fine at the walk there. I took my groceries out of the store cart into my shopping cart and headed home. I got about 100 feet from the store and the left wheel popped off and rolled away, the axle and the rest of the parts went flying every which way! Thank god the back wheels were in tact. I had to have the cart tilted the entire way home, with every few minutes, someone pointing out the obvious, "HEY LADY, YOUR FRONT WHEELS MISSIN!"

I'm going to try what others tried with wire. I'm none too happy. I will keep everyone updated when I attempt to fix it!

EDIT:

I'm glad that i'm able to to change the starts. I changed it from 1 star to 4. This cart is very difficult to put together. My issues was that the font wheel came off while shopping. I figured out the problem. When placing the front axle on to the cart, you need to put the pins that the cart came with into the holes that actually keep the axle from coming out, then you place the plastic caps on.

I lost one pin so I got a hair pin and played around with it and it worked fine. I took my cart out for another shopping excursion and I puposely beat it up, turning without pulling the cart back etc... and the cart worked great!

It's all in making sure that you put the cart together the way its suppose to be.

It all started when Scott Hubbartt went for a walk in the high Peruvian puna (plateau) in the high desert region of the Andes Mountains.  Only the hardiest of living things can survive in its barren, dry, windswept, and rocky terrain.  Scotts sister-in-law and brother-in-law were not excited about the walk he planned and would start the next day.  But they had come to expect some impulsive, even crazy ideas from Scott, so they only advised him to use a guide.  Tia Clara, his wifes aunt, warned Scott to take a guide.  And Scotts wife Carito cautioned him, . . . please be careful, and please use a guide.  Even the locals warned him that no one goes that way because it is too dangerous

Scott admitted that sometimes he was a poor listener and that these were some of those times.  He was completely confident in his ability to walk in the mountains and even camp overnight if need be.  He was an Air Force combat veteran and had training in survival skills.  It would be just a walk in the park.  But it wasnt!

Supposedly, this trek was to be only a five to eight hour walk, but Scott soon found himself hopelessly lost.  It turned into a five-day nightmare bringing Scott to a desperate and near-death experience.

I was astounded by the number of things that Scott experienced:  loss of his glasses, compasses that no longer worked properly, thirst, hunger, his skin, clothes, and shoes being torn up from the cactus needles and rocky terrain, exhaustion, attempting to eat an ant in the hope of finding a small food source but instead his tongue felt like it had been set on fire, it swelled and protruded from his mouth, a very close encounter with a snake, realizing that he was totally alone and totally lost, and so much more.  It was only when Scott finally came to the realization that he was not able to do anything to save himself and to completely place his faith and fate in Gods hands, even if it meant his death, that his circumstances began to change.

This true story of a mans courageous struggle -- physically, mentally, and spiritually  really touched me and I believe it will touch you also.  Scott believes that he was spared only by the direct intervention of God and that it made a forever change in his life.

I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

When I read the first paragraph of this story on the toilet two days ago, I didn't expect that I'd be losing the use of my legs soon. Unfortunately, this story was too good to put down, and I ended up severing the nerves in my legs (I'm fat, leave me alone). Now I have a constant tingling like dancing fire in my feet, and every time I try to move I want to die. The doctor told me that my nerves might regenerate over time, but I'm just going to eat Michael Bunker and see if that helps.

Buy the book.
Read it in a chair, or on a couch- basically anywhere other than a toilet.

Go buy his other books, too. The ones that I've read are really good. Although, I hope there's going to be more to the Pennsylvania story.
