A warmly witty account of the three years a man spent teaching life lessons to his high school dropout son by showing him the world's best (and occasionally worst) films.

At the start of this brilliantly unconventional family memoir, David Gilmour is an unemployed movie critic trying to convince his fifteen-year-old son Jesse to do his homework. When he realizes Jesse is beginning to view learning as a loathsome chore, he offers his son an unconventional deal: Jesse could drop out of school, not work, not pay rent - but he must watch three movies a week of his father's choosing.

Week by week, side by side, father and son watched everything from True Romance to Rosemary's Baby to Showgirls, and films by Akira Kurosawa, Martin Scorsese, Brian DePalma, Billy Wilder, among others. The movies got them talking about Jesse's life and his own romantic dramas, with mercurial girlfriends, heart-wrenching breakups, and the kind of obsessive yearning usually seen only in movies.

Through their film club, father and son discussed girls, music, work, drugs, money, love, and friendship - and their own lives changed in surprising ways.

Because of my experience with bugs loving me and using similar buggy bands to ward them off, I purchased these Buggy Bands for an upcoming camping trip so I can enjoy the great outdoors without the side effects of the bugs.

Don't buy they don't work only 3 hours that's it
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 12)
These are cheap and when I went to take it off it broke they only last three to four hours that's it then the scent is gone. I have bought these many a times from a different seller and they last me a long time matter of fact I got them at the Dollar tree

My Go-To Cotton Rounds — Don’t Fall Apart & No Fuzz
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 3)
These are my favorite cotton rounds, and I’ve tried everything from dollar store versions to higher-end “eco” brands. I keep coming back to these. They stay intact and do not separate, even when fully saturated. I use them for micellar water, toner, and nail polish remover, and they hold up well with all three. No fuzz left behind, no pilling, and no pieces sticking to my face. The thickness is just right — not too thin, not overly bulky. They’re soft but durable. I also like that one side has a slight texture. It’s not harsh or labeled as “exfoliating,” but it does have a subtle grip that helps with product application without irritating the skin barrier. Compared to cheaper brands that fall apart and more expensive ones that don’t perform any better, these strike the perfect balance of quality and value. Definitely a repeat purchase for me. TL;DR: Soft, durable, no fuzz, and don’t fall apart. Perfect thickness for toner, micellar water, and nail polish remover. My consistent repurchase.

Good Quality Cotton Rounds
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 3)
I recently purchased these cotton rounds, and I couldn’t be happier with them! They are soft, durable, and incredibly gentle, making them perfect for my daily skin care routine. They don’t leave behind any lint, and they hold up well when applying toner or removing makeup. One unexpected bonus is how great they are for my cat with skin allergies. I use the rounds to gently clean around sensitive areas, and the soft texture ensures I don’t irritate her skin. Another huge plus is the value. The set comes with a generous amount of rounds for the price, which makes it both practical and economical. For anyone looking for versatile, skin-friendly cotton rounds that work for both personal care and gentle pet care, this set is an excellent buy!

Just Love These Little Pads
Color: Ultra Soft, Size: 100 Count (Pack of 6)
I use these everyday, at least twice a day and they are perfect for applying toner, etc. The little pads absorb liquid well so you don't use too much of something, or the liquid rolls off onto the counter, they fit perfectly on the ends of my fingers, they don't leave lint on my skin, and are thin enough to be used easily and well. They do not scratch my skin, they are not rough, and they don't stick to me. I use them only once and throw away. The price of them is reasonable and a box of them is always sitting in pantry. I've used them to applying antiseptic to cuts,, giving to my husband for dotting a razor cut, and as a protector inside a jewelry pouch. I just love these little pads.
