So, it wasn't really all that expensive, per piece, when you consider what it is. |
True
I'm more inclined to spend 20 or 30 dollars at a time on pieces and it's the same amount of money.sure. |
Mower: Yard Machine with Briggs and Stratton engine. Starts first time, every time, even after neglectful overwintering. Looks like shit so many bits have been bust off due to my cavalier attitude to where it can fit... but after 10 years, it still started first time.

Then you'll love the microwave fireplace. You can spend and entire evening relaxing in front of the fire in only 20 minutes.

I find shower caps to be very useful. When I'm in a hotel that has one I always take it. They are a multi-purpose tool.

When I have a pair of extra shoes, I put them in a shower cap before packing.
If I'm out with my good camera and it's dusty or rainy, I cover the camera with the shower cap and just lift the front edge to take a picture. These are the thin, clear plastic ones with an elastic band running around the edge. They are small enough to stuff in a small pocket in the camera bag. You can also put them over your nice, starched hat (military) when it's raining. |
Wear 'em while you're painting a ceiling, or doing any kind of work that would dribble on your head, like sanding or plastering or tearing down drywall above you.

Cover your bike seat when it may rain - Keeps it dry.

@ Skysidhe: put a drop of Rosemary essential oil on that boar bristle brush and watch your hair shine and smell amazing! especially good for brunettes.
@ Wolf: I hate that hard anodized crap--it never performed well for me. Hope you like yours, though |

Now there's going to be a run on shower caps.
Maybe we need a thread "alternative uses for common items." |

For "a positive cloth diapering experience" BD#2 recommends this thingy, which attaches to your toilet and rinses the poop off:
Diaper sprayer I suppose you could use it as a cheapo bidet, too. ?? She has also made wool diaper covers, with cloth inserts which snap in. The wool breathes, but doesn't readily absorb liquids, which all goes into the easily cleaned and dried inserts. She says she saves a ton of money on laundry costs. If anyone is interested, I might be able to get you a deal on some of these professional quality natural fiber diapers, too. :) |
Isn't it more natural just to let them run around naked until they're about 10?

What about a big litter box? Develop their digging skills.

you just need these:

Oh, and while I'm endorsing... The shoes were good too...
I got Saucony Pro Grid Ride running shoes for walking last August. They lasted me a year. That's a long time when you are the better part of 300 lbs. So I got the same kind (now called Ride 3) http://www.zappos.com/images/z/1/1/4/1145911-3-2x.jpg |
ah, yeah. Zappos is da bomb. Not the cheapest, but supernaturally fast!

We went camping this week, and there were wasps everywhere. When we went to the store to pick up more ice, my hubby found a disposable all in one RAID wasp trap. That sucker was catching wasps before he even put in on the picnic table! It worked for 3 days before it was 1) drying up of the goo inside and 2) so full of wasps they were stacking up inside! It probably caught 60-75 wasps, and was still working when we left. All the wasps left our food and us alone for the most part, it was like a radar to the trap. We will use these again.

ScanCafe: to scan 35 mm (color) slides into digital images
Last winter I looked into buying the equipment to scan 30 years (1300+) of slides into digital (jpg) format, After a lot of research and comments from others, I came to the conclusion it would be less expensive, save my time, and I'd get better quality (color corrected) images going to a professional scanning company. You send in your slides in any groupings you wish, They repair, scan, color-correct, and post the digital images in your account on-line in those same groupings. The thing that makes ScanCafe really different is that you go through the images on-line to select only the ones you want. You can reject up to 50% of the scans without penalty, and you pay for only the scans that you have not rejected. They send a disc with your selected images in the groupings, and return your slides in the same groups too. Really an excellent service ! They had some bad press during early years of start-up, but I feel they have correct those problems. I had no problems with my order. Currently they are offering 30% off ... PM to me if you want more info. I have no other connection with this company. |

I've been hearing a lot about ScanCafe lately. I think they just started a media push or something.
_________ Product I endorse: Country Bob's Steak Sauce |
I second the Saucony endorsement, Just breaking in my second pair. Awesome cushioning. I get mine from DSW

Simply Lemonade with Raspberry.
Filtered water, sugar, lemon juice, raspberry puree. Deeeee-lish! |
The new "mini" size of the Dairy Queen Blizzard is just right. There's enough there to get your fix, but you don't feel sick when you finish.
Also, the Butterfinger Blizzard is delicious. That is all. |
ooh, I like the Rasberry Lemonade, too.
Here's my endorsement for today: Panasonic pivoting head facial groomer. Best thing ever to deal with frustrating and embarrassing facial hair. http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-ES21...0&sr=8-1-spell |

Stream of Life by Rabindranath Tagore The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment. |
er?
|
I wholeheartedly endorse the stream of life. Now available everywhere.

No crossing streams...

Pete told him to "stay inside" when she ran outside to catch a loose goat. The basement door was open so he ran downstairs and sat in the doorway watching the proceedings never leaving his assumed post. We've never trained him to do anything, he just reads body language so well it isn't necessary.

I have a lot of flashlights, book lights, lanterns, etc. but my favorite is the Fenix P3D. It's small, efficient, has several modes of operation, it's water proof and it has a nice shape. It comes with a sheath and can be used with a lanyard.
It's also good for smacking someone's forehead if necessary. The only negative thing I can say about it is I wish it had a dimmer dimmest setting. |

Dogs are neat that way. I do sometimes feel bad that I didn't sink some training time into him as he has a ton of potential. I just want a dog who'll bark at strangers and catch frisbees so he's already perfect. :)

I'm currently resisting the temptation, but that's a good idea.

HLJ: Must you have the Fenix or other brands with similiar specs are fine with you? I can have a look around and make suggestions for you. :D Btw, I just read the review on the P3D from the your link. There's a low/medium/high/SOS setting in the general mode. So, what kind of dimmer and dimmest setting are you talking about?

I believe the flashlight beest needs to use for work cost a little more than that.... but it was all made worthwhile when his superior beam impressed the state trooper who arrived to investigate the car crash we found.... :lol:

I also have a Surefire, but that only has one setting (it's a G2, I think), and it's very bright. I have a Glo-toob FX in amber, and that has a lot of settings, but it's better as a lantern than as a flashlight. http://www.glo-toob.com/Images/FXpic.gif I know, I'm picky. |
