We have been buying the next exit for more than five years. It is the best book when you're on any interstate in the United States. You can find doctors, campgrounds, restaurants, rest areas, hotels, different stores, etc. even though I have an iPhone and Google maps this book complements any other device.

I used my Crock-Pot slow cooker for the first time yesterday--put soup in to cook for the day. Came home four hours later and the handle of the lid was laying in the soup and the lid was shattered. It's supposed to be shatter proof glass however there was glass all over my kitchen. I called the manufacturer today and they would not refund my money--said they would only send a replacement (I will NEVER have another Crock-Pot slow cooker in my house). I asked to reimbursed for the $14 worth of ingredients and she said they would not reimburse me. Dangerous/poor quality slow cooker and no customer service.

This is a love story that starts with a blog. Julia has a neighbor, Cain, who seems a bit grumpy and very unfriendly. Julia's smile in the morning rivals the sun. They both leave for work at approximately the same time, so they share the elevator several days a week. She always greets him with Good Morning! and he mostly grunts at her and departs the elevator as soon as he possibly can.
