Love this product.

I thoroughly enjoyed this new book by a true insider.  Baby-Boomers can't  help but love it.  But what really strikes me as odd is this cadre of objectors who have taken up what must HAVE to be full-time jobs of policing the reviews, then negatively commenting in every single reply.  Is it just ME, or does anyone else find this excessive and obsessive?  It just makes me wonder what the REAL issue is here, and why they should find this book so utterly threatening to them.  I can only assume that they honestly believe their negativity is somehow paying off for them in some way.  But in what way?  Be that as it may...I smell a rat here, and wonder what their hidden agenda really is.

I want to urge those attracted to this book to take the chance, get it, and decide for yourself.  You'll indeed be pleasantly surprised.  Then maybe you'll be able to explain to me what the big deal is with all the full-time nay-sayers.  Enough already.

One of the problems with business is that everyone has an answer. We earn our reputations and make our way up the greasy pole by solving problems - no regional head of sales wants to hear that your retailers aren't interested in your product; no creative director wants to hear that it's hard to come up with a new concept; no account director wants to hear that the client isn't being clear. We want answers and we want them now, and if you can't give me an answer, I'll find ten people who can.

As a result, there are a lot of books that purport to tell you why things are the way they are. Got a problem selling? Got a problem buying? Got a problem thinking? Got a problem managing? Everyone's got an opinion.

Which is why its really unfair when a book like Sally Hogshead's Fascinate comes along - because she really does have answers, answers you can really use - and [to read the rest of this review, please visit: [...]

It seems that the primary complaints from Hungry Bear Shooting Target Game owners relate to the difficult of use, safety concerns, or poor craftsmanship of the product. I couldn't disagree more. Rather, I would suggest that issues lie in the inexperienced, irresponsible nerf gun owners that got over their skis trying to operate a high caliber pump action toy gun.

For those that claim the toy gun is too difficult for younger children to use, I would suggest that the alternative would be much worse. Given the temptation, nay necessity to look down the barrel to see the number of remaining nerf balls, would you rather the gun be able to be discharged on a hairpin trigger? I didn't think so.

Another complaint seemed to focus on the inconsistency of the electronic scoring mechanism. Given the ineptitude, displayed in the prior complaint, I would question the need for any scoring mechanism whatsoever. However, for those responsible toy nerf gun owners such as myself, creating a simple score board or score beard is entirely sufficient.

Finally, for the children left in tears due to their inability to operate the toy gun, I would suggest those parents use this as a teaching moment. Sure, if you think tears are going to stop that Hungry Bear, go ahead and wail away. But for those parents who want to teach their kids the skills they will need to defend against a Hungry Bear by shooting foam balls into its mouth, you're going to be hard pressed to find a better toy.

Happy Shooting!

I got more annoyed at getting a request to comment on the product. It's an AC power adaptor. It works.

Terrible noise from the AC adapter. The constant whining like others have mention just grinds away at what mental defenses you have until you can't take it anymore.

because the customer service is non-existent. For this price point, buy nearly anything else. Company motto should be "sucks to be you."

I am the purchaser of all items, but not always the user. I am only aware if there is a problem, if someone complains. There was no complaint on this item.

Instead of complaining or being angry, we can bless people.  It doesn't change the situation or other people, but it changes me, which is another blessing.
Blessings for specific situations are given, but many can be used or modified for day-to-day needs.

Run screaming from the water boss.  I recently needed a replacement part and I went to the orange big box store where I bought the unit.  I couldn't find the waterboss on display so I asked the sales guy for help ordering a part.  He told me they no longer carry the waterboss product because of quality and customer service issues.  I then resorted to the 800 number. The creature that answered set a new low in the history of customer service.  The woman answering the 800 number was rude, condescending and dismissive.  At first I thought she had me confused with a misbehaving mongrel dog, but I quickly realized that she was just a truly nasty human being completely devoid on any customer service skills.

This does what I wanted it to do....if it did not, I would write a complaint misusing grammar and syntax while appearing like an uneducated complainer who regularly complains.

Do people really have lives like this? so much frustration and tension palpable within each mundane aspect of their lives? If so, I wouldn't wish you were here. Blame and resentment permeates almost every exchange and interaction. I don't know who O'Nan hangs around with but if this is in any way a reflection of that company, God help them, because they are helpless to do anything constructive for themselves while they wallow in self-pity. Ick!

I do find it interesting that those who find the reviews "helpful" seem to lean toward the negative responses.  Those more positive responses about the book have little or no support for a helpful review.  A lot of negativity floating around out there.  Doesn't anyone find that "interesting"?  People have always accused me of wearing rose-colored glasses while riding my rainbow - but then again, good things always come my way while those who would ridicule me continue to spiral down in some sort of dramatic demise.  I'd rather wear my rose-colored glasses than hide behind dark sunglasses any day while complaining I can't see.  Make your on luck people.  Don't wait for it.  That's all this book is telling you.  That's what life is telling you.  Can you "wish away" bad things?  No.  But you can instill action.  Do something, instead of waiting for something to happen to you or FOR you.  Is that so wrong?  What's that old tried and true saying?  Oh yeah...God helps those who help themselves.  Do that one.  Or you can do the other old tried and true statement...Misery loves company.  You choose.

Seemed to present a very negative view. If you feel like this, move or get over the negativity. Doesn't help me in my decision making process. Want pros and cons.

Do you know why i am so interested in your book "Overcoming Excuses"? because liberating myself by not giving excuses and allowing people to take me for who i am whether they judge me bad, good or just pure lazy and unconcerned is my mantra. After growing up to be in my 5th decade of giving all to friends and trying to be there for friends, acquaintances, friends of friends, i found out that what i was doing was constantly DEFENDING MYSELF. why did you not do this? why did you not come for this great party? why did you not tell me you would be away and unable to help with this or that? Big question is why did i not expect excuses from other people like they did of me? Because i am constantly practicing NON SELF JUDGEMENT. we are constantly trying to improve ourselves in this world (Which is not a bad concept) but what i would ask is "What for"? to make ourselves better liked, to change and conform and to be the best we can be according to others perception? After all these years and despite trying to form friendships, making silly unnecessary adjustments to fit into different ideas of what i should be, i have found that the best people who love to hang around me and i likewise do not require me to make any excuses for my actions except ( I committed an ominous crime or acted like i was losing my mind which is not the worst crime in the world. Anyone remember a situation you were found in which you wished just one person would look at the you and say, maybe there is another explanation for this before they bit your head off for it?). Even then all i had to say was a few words and not deliver long defensive epistles to justify myself. IMO, with age you will find joy in somebody who first sees the good in you, demands no explanation such that when you do decide to give one, it becomes absolutely unnecessary. I am giving you 5 stars because i may be opposed to your perception about the whole principle of "Overcoming Excuses" but i do not need an excuse to read your book and believe you are the best person you were created to be and to feel that i would meet and get along with you even if you made me give an excuse why i feel this way as opposed to most or all of your reviewers.

Dear Gene and Dean, I am awarding you 3 stars on the basis of the four brilliant songs on your album : Flutes of the Chi,Even If you don't,The Grobe and Stay Forever (the best of the lot). Now...can you answer me one question ? Why oh why do you insist on recording such rubbish as Bananas and Blow and Pandy Fackler ? The annoying thing is that I suspect that you are TOTALLY AWARE that some of your songs are complete and utter rubbish so WHY ARE YOU DOING IT ? I have listened to two of your other CD's "Chocolate and Cheese" and "The Mollusk" and the trend is the same here. When you record songs such as "Even if you don't" (an obvious nod to 10cc) and "Stay Forever" (a jaw-droppingly beautiful love song) ,you are sublime !  But it sickens me to hear you pad out your albums with absolute rubbish. p.s. I thought this album was supposed to be a Beatles parody but in places it sounds more like the Rutles
