		<description>Thanks for your comment and readership &quot;L.&quot;

I understand that the scale may be a waste for you. Many love them though. I understand these scales sell like crazy, so someone other than me thinks they&#039;re worthwhile.

Here&#039;s the thing. Many of us aren&#039;t math challenged, we just don&#039;t own a bathroom scale. Moreover, a bathroom scale&#039;s a bit heavy for taking with you on a trip, but this portable scale won&#039;t weigh down your suitcase or duffel. This scale has saved me several times from having to repack at the airport to avoid an excess weight fee, and those fees are getting hefty on many airlines today.</description>

		<description>That scale&#039;s a waste too.  You can do the same thing with the bathroom scale you already have and, if you can&#039;t do the numbers in your head, a calculator or pencil and paper.

1) Step on your scale and weigh yourself.
2) Pick up and hold suitcase.  Step on scale and weigh self.
3) Figure out the difference.  With every other variable equal between the two measurements, the difference is what your bag weighs.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s a good idea, but I&#039;d probably break the glass considering how much junk I put in the trays we use. Along with the items you mentioned, my cell phone and wallet go in the tray too. I have one for myself, and one for my wife.

Always good to hear from you.</description>

		<description>Hey, Ned - I can save you 10 bucks!  

I use the drinking glasses provided by the hotel to keep track of small items, throwing my weddng rings, change, bills, keys, etc. into them for safe, scatter-free keeping!</description>
