              While I do have the majority of the Taste of Home annuals, this is my second most picked up and used cookbook in my entire collection. It just has that combination of tasty recipes that appeal to my tastes as well as those whom I entertain. Easy to do, ingredients readily available everywhere and no complicated methods. A good balance of quick to do, treats and healthy foods as well.

                5 out of 5 stars Great resource.......2000-07-05

                This books includes alot of great, sound information, and is detailed enough to allow a person to discuss the options with their attorney/CPA. It does not provide enough info to allow the nonprofessional to draft any documents. A little disappointed that nearly all of the wealth transfer techniques deal with CRTs. However, they are described in the context of their application in different scenarios, which provides a clear illustration of their benefits (which are significant). In summary, this book provided a number (about a dozen) great ideas for using ones assets to generate income while alive and transferring the assets to children with reduced estate taxes.

                Book Description

                Women face a number of roadblocks when it comes to investing. They live longer, have careers that are interrupted by family needs, and tend to be less knowledgeable and more conservative about investing. If you are a woman who is somewhat intimidated at the thought of investing and you aren't sure you understand the investment process well enough, the information in this guide can give you the confidence you need. It discusses the fundamentals of investing, how it can and should be different for women, and why doing it right is essential to overcoming the inherent obstacles that women face when preparing for the future.

                5 out of 5 stars Everywoman's Money: Confident Investing.......2002-05-21

                Everywoman's Money: Confident Investing was outstanding. Delightful read for invaluable results. Not only is Deborah Owen's writing style easy flowing -- she takes a set of complicated topics -- "recognizing the need to" and "knowing how to" save and invest -- and provided simplicity, clarity, and thoroughness. Simplicity of the complicated factors savers and investors need to consider and understand to develop good financial programs.
                Clarity in the specific actions that need to be taken. Thoroughness in the breadth of savings and investment industry alternatives there are to choose from -- and guidance on making those choices.

                5 out of 5 stars Highly recommend this book!.......2001-07-06

                Confident Investing is a terrific book for anyone who wants to understand the topic of money management and investing. It is entertaining, easy-to-read, and loaded with interesting anecdotes and "coaching tips" on how to get started and what to do! The topic of investing can seem intimidating at times, but Deborah knows how to break down all the "hard-to-understand" lingo and speak to the reader in a conversational and common sense language. I thank Deborah for giving me the motivation and knowledge level to take control of my own financial future!

                5 out of 5 stars "You too can invest with the best!".......2001-04-13

                Pryor to changing careers, I worked in the Brokerage/ Investment Banking Industry for 13 years and daily watched the insiders use the Stock Market wisely to build their dreams and financial futures. During those years there were very few books on the market that educated the average investor about the basics of successful investing. Debbie Owens has written Confident Investing to fill that void. Though there are many books on the subject these days, Confident Investing is one of the first books I have read that has provided the basic information and the encouragement one needs to become a successful investor.Though the book solely focuses on women, the information rings true for all novice investors. How much you invest is not the focus. Having a firm foundation about investments is key to making wise decisions with your hard earned dollars!

                Debbie begins each chapter with stories about women in various life stages and how each person with financial education was able to change the course of their lives. Each women was able to make their dreams come true.

                Each chapter also has coaching tips and a money therapy section to emphasis the theme for that chapter. The chapters end with a journal section to help you analysis those unspoken blocks that prevent each of us from reaching our goals. You can not read this book without wanting to make a change for the better.

                I would encourage anyone who wants to achieve their financial goals to begin with this book! The best place to start is with basic information.... Debbie has "cornered the market" on that!

                      Book Description

                      An American comic icon tells the story of his second–act rise from obscurity to multimedia stardom.

                      "When I was a kid," writes Rodney Dangerfield, "I worked tough places in show business––places like Fonzo's Knuckle Room. Or Aldo's, formerly Vito's, formerly Nunzio's. That was a tough joint. I looked at the menu. They had broken leg of lamb." For once, one of America's most beloved comic icons isn't kidding. Dangerfield has seen every aspect of the entertainment industry: the rough–and–tumble nightclubs, the backstage gag–writing sessions, the drugs, the hookers, the lousy day jobs – and the red–carpet star treatment. As he traces his route from a poor childhood on Long Island to his enshrinement as a comedy legend, he takes readers on a roller–coaster ride through a life that has been alternately touching, sordid, funny, raunchy, and uplifting – equal parts "Little Orphan Annie" and "Caligula." And unlike most celebrity autobiographers, he seems to have no qualms about delivering the unfiltered whole story, warts and all.

                      Dangerfield's personal story is also a rollicking show business tale, full of marquee name–droppings (Adam Sandler, Sam Kinison, Jim Carrey, Johnny Carson, Jerry Seinfeld) and good stories about same. Defying the old saws about the fleeting nature of fame and the dearth of second acts in American life, Dangerfield transformed himself from a debt–ridden aluminium–siding salesman named Jack Roy to a multimedia superstar – and stayed an icon for decades. His catchphrase – "I get no respect" – has entered the lexicon, and he remains a visible cultural presence and perennial talk–show guest.

                      Dangerfield's hilarious and inspiring musings should thrill comedy fans and pop–culture watchers, and his second–act comeback will strike a chord with readers of all stripes. Maybe he'll even get some respect.

                      5 out of 5 stars The real life of Dangerfield that we only glimpse through his jokes.......2007-08-08

                      In my opinion, Rodney Dangerfield is the funniest person who ever lived. He was one of the few people that I would always stay up late to see on "The Tonight Show." He always cracked me up yet I wondered what his life was really like. His jokes about his wife, doctor and family always seemed to have a bitter edge of truth to them.
                      This book is Dangerfield's autobiography, written after his eightieth birthday. From it, we learn that there was some truth to his jokes, particularly about his family. His parents were distant and he received almost nothing in the way of parental or familial affection. His first marriage was unhappy and a failure, and early in his life he was more successful selling aluminum siding than he was as a comic.
                      His is a classic case of persistence, dedication and a firm belief in yourself leading to eventual success. After he was a failure as a singer and a comic, Dangerfield was an effective salesman. It would have been easy for him to become comfortable with that existence, avoiding making the gamble to re-enter show business after an absence of many years.
                      Until I read this book, I was unaware that Dangerfield was instrumental in giving many comics such as Roseanne Barr and Jim Carrey their start. Furthermore, he was present when Barbara Streisand had one of her first auditions.
                      Dangerfield is also very honest about his bouts with depression and his drug use. He firmly believes that his marijuana smoking was a positive influence on his career, although he is negative about cocaine. Some of his best jokes are interspersed in the text and they are so memorable I can still remember him using some of them on "The Tonight Show" back in the seventies.
                      Dangerfield's signature line was, "I don't get no respect", which was funny but also false. He was a good friend and mentor to many people and he is to be admired for becoming a success through hard work, dedication and a belief in his abilities.

                      4 out of 5 stars Respect At Last!.......2007-08-04

                      Anyone who appreciates the comedic genius of the late, great Rodney Dangerfield should not pass this book up. In his own inimitable way, Rodney recounts his impoverished childhood in Queens, his strained relationship with his parents, his lifelong battle with depression, his failed first marriage, the monumental setbacks he suffered as he struggled to make a career in show business. Sounds pretty depressing, right? Wrong! This book is pure Dangerfield, chock full of hilarious memories of some of the most celebrated entertainers of the day, not to mention the classic one-liners spread throughout these pages - "I told my landlord I wanted to live in a more expensive apartment. He raised my rent," or "With my wife, I don't get no respect. The other night there was a knock on the front door. My wife told me to hide in the closet." Rodney Dangerfield was truly in a class by himself (and I don't mean facing the wall wearing a "dunce" cap). For anyone who enjoys a good laugh, this book is a must. Trust me on this one and enjoy.

                      4 out of 5 stars Willing it to Happen.......2007-06-28

                      As a comedian and author myself, I can tell you that Rodney Dangerfield was the comedian every up and coming act wanted to work with at some point. He was one of the last guys who did things for you if he liked you. He'd get you big gigs, get you on his HBO special (which launched several big names), or put you in one of his movies (Sam Kinison, for example). Mostly, he was just a fun guy that everyone in the industry loved and respected. I never had the honor of meeting him but reading his book was the next best thing. It is quite good and demonstrates his incredible will to make things happen. His angle of "no respect" took years in and out of comedy to develop and once he got it, he found his niche and his respect. Really good stuff for a most deserving talent.

                      5 out of 5 stars "He who laughs last didn't get the joke in the first place.".......2006-12-06

                      It's hard to believe that there is anyone who has never been entertained by his "don't get no respect" line of jokes.Now, find out what the man behind the jokes is really like. Rodney,now 82,has spent over 70 years in making a life in show business.In this book he tells us of all the hopes,struggles,hardships,disappointments,and eventual success; that he and others go through making a life in show business.While overall Dangerfield's story has been a happy one;just think of all those who never experienced anything but heartache and obscurity for all their efforts.
                      The book does a marvelous job of telling a story that covered over 70 years.It does not get bogged down in details and it is hard to put it down,once you pick it up.Personally,I read it in one day.
                      The book has lots of photographs and there is at least one joke per page.
                      There is so mugh negativity in the world and so much lack of respect that it was good to see that Dangerfield had none of that.The only thing he wanted to do was to make a go of it in the business.Despite all the obsticles he encountered;it's hard to believe he ever hated anyone.He just wanted to get along with everyone;and in the final analysis,he susceeded.
                      Thanks for all the laughs you gave us over the years and may you enjoy many more years of happiness.

                      5 out of 5 stars Like No Other Auto-Bio You've Read.......2006-05-22

                      I believe it was Errol Flynn's Autobiography where he made fun of those that start off with "my parents sitting by the fireplace..." Rodney's book is awseome in so many ways; it tells the tale of his life, does so with humor, with some "joke lines' put in between segments, but is constructed in a way that brings about pathos.
                      The subject never says "hey...feel sorry for me!" - yet one cannot help it, while also laughing and reading great anecdotes. Not only can the reader laugh and understand "funny," and learn how to be "funny," but also how to take our lives...the blessings and the curses...and move forward and not be weighed down by the defeats.
                      This is not like any bio I have every read...and that is a great thing. I plan on purchasing this for all my friends and loved ones over the next year (on birthdays, etc.).
