| This is not a
long book; it’s very easy to read in one sitting. The story is
so engaging that I never even considered putting it down! It
almost felt like I was having a conversation with the author,
or even reading e-mail from her. As I was reading, I always
seemed to want to add my 2¢. Whenever I identified with
something she said, or wanted to ask a question, I almost had
to remind myself that this was a book. She shares joyful
moments, painful ones, and thoughtful, musing ones. Her
descriptions of even the most ordinary events are
entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed it! |
Delightful Take on Life

| Ginger
Simpson's delightful take on life is a surprising, funny,
quick tour of what it's like to be Ginger Simpson and half of
the world who never thought it was funny when life happened
and then, never thought to write about it later. Life is a
Bowl of Toilets and I Clean Them, is a good time, with sad
moments but you will not want to stop reading until the end.
Then you will be looking for Simpson's next book. Get on board
Erma Bombeck fans because Simpson will transport you to those
same hilarious everyday occurrences that she turns into comic
relief. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and
everyone but especially those who need cheering up, to any one
who thinks life's drop kicks aren't funny or anyone who needs
to take another view of the happenings in their own life. This
is a definite 10+ on a scale of 1 to 10. |
Great Read!

| Life Is A Bowl
Of Toilets And I Clean Them should be required reading for
everyone contemplating puberty, high school, marriage,
childbirth or a career. If you've ever been the last to be
called for gym class, had a date (or didn't have a date) or
lived with a teen-ager, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Ginger Simpson has penned a tongue-in-cheek and all too
hilariously accurate description of why life just isn't
perfect. This is one to keep pinned to the refrigerator for
ready reference in times of crisis!!!! |
Wonderful, Quirky, Warm

| Life is a Bowl
of Toilets and I Clean Them is a wonderful, quirky, warm
little book. It's like a breath of fresh air - a much needed
return to your roots, so to speak. From growing up in the 50's
and 60's to training bras, dating, marriage, kids, and beyond,
it will have you smiling with the memories. It takes the
reader on a lively little jaunt down memory lane and, through
subtle and sometimes not so subtle comparisons with today's
world, it shows us how the children of today often possess
more knowledge than the adults of yesteryear. I found this
book to be entertaining, probably more so since I myself could
relate to most of the anecdotes shared. Though I believe it
has appeal to all ages, I especially believe the 35 yr old and
older group will love it. It uses humor and a veiled sarcasm
to convey a "look what my life used to be" attitude that will
have you appreciating where things are now and pining for how
they used to be at the same time. The old saying goes... Big
things come in little packages, and this book proves it. In
just 50 short pages, a world of treasured memories can be
yours. Overall rating: 4 Hearts Sensuality rating: Sweet

Coffee Time
Romance (2/15/2006)
For all of you
young, vibrant, perky boobed woman out there, take heed. No
matter what you do, time and gravity will prevail. Here are
just a few warning signs to let you know that you are getting
older. The effects of weight loss on an older body usually
leaves jowls, and the remedies for that? Liposuction or
facelift, and they only make you look like a Chinese snake;
slanty-eyes and no lips.
Your breasts will eventually lose their perkiness and resemble
two socks with marbles in the toes. As gravity takes them on a
journey south, you will have to resist the urge to fling them
over your shoulders to get them out of your way. And guess
what? When you lean over a keyboard they tend to either play
an unrecognizable tune or type gibberish.
Old people have always claimed to be able to predict the
weather with their aches and pains. Although there is no
scientific research to support this claim, your old joint
injuries will foretell a storm front better than the weather
man. Pay attention to your knees and pack for inclement
weather, it is coming.
Ms. Ginger Simpson has written a hilarious book about the
ravages of time on the female body. I instantly agreed with
all of her examples and had a lot of fun reading it. I laughed
out loud at some of her adventures in the land of the senior
citizens. I highly recommend this book to any woman.
