Album Favorite

"There's a famous story about Lennon & McCartney meeting Gene Vincent in Hamburg and being terrified because he was waving around a gun. He was armed and extremely dangerous – and drunk. And they got the hell out of there sharpish. This is a classic, definitive rock & roll album. Again, it's complete. It just works from start to finish. And again, the sound, the simplicity as well, the use of the brushes – I don't think they used the kick drum, I don't hear a kick drum in it, it just sounds like a snare and cymbals, double bass, and the magnificent guitar sound of Cliff Gallup, and then Gene Vincent's voice on top. I always think of Ian Dury's 'Sweet Gene Vincent'. In fact, I think Ian Dury's 'Sweet Gene Vincent' might be the record that made me go and check this out. I took this out of the Manchester Polytechnic music library, and played it to death, and then went out and bought it. It's perfection. It's just rock & roll perfection."

Mom's Night Out combines the most prolific Christian film makers of its time to make a comedy centered around a mother at wits end who decided to attempt to have one night out with her lady friends that goes hilariously wrong at every turn.

While similar stories have been told before, it's actually refreshing that I have the option to watch this particular movie with my younger kids whereas I am not able to in many cases due to either language or extremely vulgar content.

Patricia Heaton provides a different tone of her ability as a preachers wife who is attending the night out and finds herself disclosing a quasi sordid past which aligns well with the story while also adding a bit of comic gold. Trace Adkins' sweet sweet baritone is included and is shockingly probably the biggest voice of reason as a hardened biker.

Definitely a movie I could recommend for families. Kids will stay interested and parents won't be bored out of their minds for the duration.

Ever get a book request and it sounds great, then you receive it and it's not at all what you expected and it goes against your beliefs? This sums up my reaction to SWEET BREATH OF KNOWING. I thought it was about knowing our reason on earth, and about God and stuff. It is more like children are enlightened and we become us by love and....weird stuff like that, stuff that I don't agree with. Sadly I can't finish this one.

I found this to be a sweet story. Not the best time-travel romance I've read, but it is far from the worst. Rome and Adrian were pleasant characters, although Adrian's constant questioning and thought process could get annoying at times. The end was a bit rushed and I wish it could have been a little different, but it was decent. Still, I thought it was a lovely story with likeable, and one not so likeable, characters.

fantastic read
This is a set of four books, 1. Splash, 2. Captured, 3. Steam heat and 4. Hot spices. This series of books are all extremely hot, intense, sweet and they have no cliff hanger endings. Each book is very well written with exceptional lovable characters. Each book will have you hooked from the first page till the end. Each couple have amazing chemistry between them.



Highly recommended box set

Not so sweet 16
What can you say about a movie like 16 candles that hasn't already been said a 1000x. Like most of John Hughes 16 candles really just sums up what it's like being a teenager and no matter the decade he really just transcended time because this movie worked for my mom in 80's, me in the early 2000's, and teens now and honestly I feel like it will still be relateable for generations to come.
  
this is a sweet enjoyable follow up read in this series. this book can be read as a stand alone or as part of the series. this author gives you fab characters in an amazing story. the story is well paced and very enjoyable to read. this book is perfect for relaxing either on the beach or on the sofa. i cant wait to read more from the author in the future.
highly recommended
