Love/Hate relationship.
351257
I have a love/hate relationship with my 2008 FEST.  I was spoiled by the 2001 model which was a fantastic vehicle.

By the time I put a quarter million miles on the 2001, Ford had changed the FEST so much that it is hardly the same vehicle.
They paid engineers to create non-functional tie-down cleats.  3500 years ago the ancient Greeks had functional tie-down cleats on their vessels.  Ford took an ancient, simple idea and made it for show only.

The trim is all warped and peeling the shiny stuff...
The tailgate must be removed and the hinge cleaned before the tailgate can be shut again after hauling dirt, rocks or firewood....it is ok for groceries and really OK if you never ever use the truck bed for anything at all.

The flip-down mirror covers on both visors are broken and so not right for the job that I wouldn't pay to replace them.

I have to close the driver's door AFTER starting the vehicle or the dome light stays on.

You get the idea...I have a list of dozens of things that really suck about this truck that were much better in the 2001 model.

On the other hand...the truck is great to drive, capable in snow and has all the power I'd ever need...in fact, I would have rather had the v6 that was in the 2001 model but I had no choice ....I had to get the V8 even though it is way too much engine for my needs.

Let me start by saying I love and I mean LOVE this series. And cannot wait for the next 3 installments sadly which are not due for another year. However as much as I adored the first 3 installments I found myself not connecting to Milo & Mattie In any sense. I felt like they were being forced to fit into the story And that their so called differences took up 80% of the story line that seemed rather repetative in most of the conversations...And just when I was starting to root for Milo, once he "dropped" Maddie I felt very angry and don't think my emotions ever did recover back-to rooting for him. There were very few actual D&S scenes unlike the 3 other Fettered books. As soon as the book-ended I immediately went back-and re read book number one.... had to stay up till 3:00 a.m. lol but wanted to reconnect to my now favorite author.

this was a love /hate !!
LOVED it the first few months. Oooh the ease of clipping it on to my purse, the comments from friends "where did you get that its awesome" and the lack of scurrying around looking for my phone because....its clipped onto my jeans...YAY. Then one day it dropped. Hate. It broke. Yes, it did protect the phone but seriously, one drop and a whole corner cracks open and renders it pointy and useless :(  Too bad so sad for me. I was tempted to get another but didn't want to spend 20$ and worry that its going to drop.

I received one of these as a birthday present, 6 months ago.  I like it okay, although the lack of volume control on the actual speaker is a problem, as its seldom convenient to leave the shower in order to adjust a song's volume.  Also, the suction cup sometimes fails, which is a bit of an annoyance.

However, after the events of this past weekend, I am forced to very firmly retire this speaker from usage.  It pains me, as I love the concept, and love octopi, but it'll have to be done.

I had noticed a distressing tendency for the suction cup on the bottom to abruptly lose its grip (my shower is very clean).  I showered in the morning, and it fell off the wall once during that time.  I adjusted its position to a section of wall that was perfectly flat, reasoning that maybe the curvature of the side is what made it fall the first time.  Fast forward to the evening, I come in the door of my home to the sound of water THUNDERING through the pipes.  I go to the bathroom, to find the hot water turned on full blast, and clearly having been that way for quite some time, as the water leaving the faucet is completely cold.

I, of course, am concerned.  I call a friend, who stays on the phone with me while I go through the house, room by room, trying to figure out who could've been monkeying around with my bathroom while I was out.  I am shaken, and feeling nervous.  Finally, on my second sweep, I check the bathroom again, and realize that the speaker is lying on the floor of the tub now....and that it had been positioned above the same tap that was gushing water for god only knows how long.  While I was relieved to not be in a Lifetime Television Movie situation after all, I am still annoyed with the speaker.  I was out for a few hours that night, but I'm sure my utility bill for this month will nonetheless reflect the time that the water was running.  Also, what if it happened while I was at work, or away on a trip?  Not to mention, if it came off the wall so suddenly as to hit that faucet with so much force that it turned it ALL the way on, what if it falls on someone in the future?

I am in a love-hate relationship with this book. On the one side I love everything about this book, from the concept, the characters, and the scenery/the setting. But on the other side I hate the heroine's character, she completely embodies the most irritating of heroines. The dialogue between others and herself are contradictory, she'll state how another character should act but then turn around and talk herself out of the same logic as if it doesn't apply to her. In everything she does, outside of the attraction to the Shadow Knight, resembles a child in a woman's body, which is very unappealing.

Something that shocked me, or caught me off guard, was the number of errors I found while reading this. They didn't take away from the story, but they were somewhat distracting. As I think about it I don't remember any of the previous by Lizzy Ford books, that I've read, being this riddled with errors.

As I continued reading, getting closer to the end, I was really disappointed that Naia's character didn't get better. I can honestly say that she was the only constant throughout the whole book, I surely could, sadly, depend on her character to never change. When I should have been able to congratulate her on coming out of her shell and evolving into the woman that she is I couldn't because all I could think to say was, About time! Naia almost redeemed herself 17% into the book.

  If I don't get my s*** together I'm going to end up in a box before I can make it home.

I was so excited when I read this that I couldn't help but say, Finally! She understands that this is not a game. I would've thought that getting her hand chopped off would've been the eye opener. But sadly that step into adulthood was short lived.

The story was good enough from the beginning towards the middle that I could overlook Naia's childish attitude and weak responses to a lot of things, until it continued on for the entire book! That's unforgivable to me, especially when all the action, romance, and suspense was structured around her. It sickened me that a male character like the Shadow Knight would have to be lumped with someone like her (self-absorbed and immature), and that he had to base his peoples survival on her.

The only saving grace I saw was the romantic relationship between the Shadow Knight and Naia. He made her a tolerable character when they interacted with each other. I didn't like their relationship, but I saw the benefits of it.

The epilogue was amazing! I'm pretty sure that once the sneak peek blossoms into maybe another book, the Red Knight will not going want to be summoned by Naia, who would, she'll probably send him somewhere atrocious and he'll spend a good portion of the book that he is in trying to get back to the woman he loves.

My favorite line form this book was the ultimate unveiling or revealing of the Shadow Knight.

  He takes the animal head off to reveal normal human head.

I seriously thought this story was going to be a time-traveling Beauty and the Beast. I wasn't opposed to it, but the idea seemed clichd to me.

I love everything about these headphones. Very comfortable, never fall off my ears even when hanging upside down doing sit ups, the sound quality is good (not bass heavy but could get very loud where they do leak), overall I would of gave them a 5 star.

Last week the bluetooth started chopping in and out. All this week same problem, at first I thought it may of been my phones wifi connection with pandora, but after researching this issue I noticed I am not the only one with this problem. Nothing is more aggravating then having a song cut in and out when your lifting. Because of this, Overall I would rate this product a 3 star. Dylan is on to something here but yes I will be contacting your company for another pair!

Really want to love this product but it have been a headache working with this device. It keeps on constantly loosing it's wireless functionality. Would have to constantly (like all the time) have to reboot the device. Wireless connectivity is spotty.

I have a love hate relationship with this thing.  It does protect the phone well but it's so freaking difficult to remove that I ended up gouging the phone trying to get the stupid thing off when some condensation got underneath the screen protector.  I am so pissed that my new phone already has a significant mark on it.  Ugh.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Wish they weren't so expensive; hence the 4 stars.

Love the ability to order a book and have it immediately available. The wireless service has been great, no problems at all. Battery life is good. And I find it very intuitive. I am a big fan except....

I read a lot, for long stretches at a time, and I've had to put my kindle away for a while. My hands developed painful cramps. I actually booked a  hand massage to try and work out some of the kinks. I've never had problems with my hands before, but the Kindle hasn't been kind to them.

That's my biggest grievance and I'm not sure I'm going to be able to overcome it.

My other gripes are smaller: I wish the screen could be lit. I wish you could delete a sample chapter without having to go to a separate area. I wish you could put books in folders and/or tag them. In the Kindle Store, I wish you could access "what's new" by category of books. I use this a lot on the website and miss it on the Kindle.

Love it, but hate it!! One minute all is good and calm next it's frustrating and making me mad!! Ugh the emotions you feel reading this book, don't get me wrong I love those kinds of books, but I just want to smack Lisa around! I'm confused with Kenneth...one minute he is sad, hurt, then he flips..to being really mad and does the unthinkable. Part of me doesn't understand what he is trying to accomplish, I know he was served divorce papers but....
And Lisa....God stop dragging, just tell him what you know!! Man she frustrates me, and why be loyal to the wife...she is the one with issues. And her...I so badly want to know why she is using everyone, is she having a affair or is there something more....maybe she is right and Kenneth is the problem...ummm..don't know but frustrating good. Must read..cause the ending is freaking intense...Will Scott do it..or will Lisa start talking...

I have a love/hate relationship with these earbuds.  The sound is incredible, by far the best sounding budget/mid price earbuds I've owned to date.  However, I'm on my third pair, the quality control standards are lacking. If they malfunction the customer service team will replace them promptly.

I love, love, love my Kindle.  I have had a Kindle since the release of Version 2.  However, there are two things I loved about the earlier Kindle that have changed on the new one that bother me, and detract from the Kindle experience.

1 - the on/off switch and the plug-in for headphones are on the bottom now.  The top is a much more efficient location for them.

2 - THIS is the one that drives me crazy, and I have NO idea why they changed it.  The buttons on the side, to page forward or back, are no longer hinged on the outside edge.  This is extremely frustrating.  You cannot set the unit down and them pick it up without changing the page.  I would guess that I have accidently changed the page hundreds of times.  If they do nothing else on the next design, they must go back to the old style of hinging the buttons.

First of all, I love this computer. It's sleek, stylish, runs fast, and runs quiet. I would have loved to give it a 5 out of 5, but there are two main issues I am having problems with.

1) The battery life is not good. I am running things on low CPU, dim light, shut down background processes, and am running a HIGH time of 2 hours. Not good enough. Thankfully I don't use the battery power as much as a normal user, but it's still annoying for when I do. The battery software included designed to make it run longer isn't helping either.

2) Just some strange things with certain keys. Having to press the space bar key 2 or 3 times to get a space. A lot of the keyboard shortcuts in various programs not working. I found a strange way to runaround this issue, and that's by pressing the "Escape" key twice, then keyboard shortcuts will work. But this will only last until I move to a new program where they won't work anymore. Back to the "Escape" key...strange.

I'm not even sure if these problems would be for everyone, or just me. As it is, it's sort of frustrating, but the overall experience is worth it, in my opinion, for a great computer. I wish it were perfect, with the 4.5 hours of battery life it claims and the keyboard not being screwy, but it's okay as it is even with these issues.

I have a love/hate relationship with these headphones. My last pair didn't even make it to 3 months before failing but they do sound awesome and they fit my needs. I also think that they have a good return policy.

Like a lot of Rachel Van Dyken books, I both love it and I hate it. I love the story line. I love the interactions between the characters - mostly. And I love the lead character, Will. What I don't like much is the underlying sense of immaturity - sometimes, I had to remind myself that these weren't hormonal teenagers I was reading about, though their behavior sometimes made it seem so - and the way they all ganged up on Will over Angelica, even though she was in the wrong. I don't like the way they immediately took her side against him, even though he'd been nothing but loyal and devoted to them. It kind of seemed like a betrayal to me - and he took it. That's another irritating thing. He let them talk to him like that and kind of agreed with them. That bugged me a bit. But, with many Van Dyken books, what seems light on the surface often proves to have darkness underneath, so it wasn't so cut and dried, after all. And these grievances turned into more of a pet peeve. I really liked Will and I wish they were a little more supportive of him, but that aside, I really did enjoy this book and now have to go back and read about the other characters and how they got together. It was worth it in the end.

This product is a great idea.  Really great.  Sadly, in execution I'd say 'not so much'.

The buds do not stay in my ears properly, partly because they're heavy.  The connection to my iPhone is 'iffy' and drops for no apparent reason.

And the battery life is lousy.  They needed recharging after an hour, which is pretty much one walk around the block.

I wanted to love them.  It's such a wonderful idea.  Really REALLY wanted to love them.  Maybe after a few design iterations I will.  But this one is, sadly, not ready for prime time.
