Oh my gosh I'm just salivating thinking of them. Loooove the raspberry ones, so soft and chewy. They are made with treacle...dunno what it is, but it's a key ingredient to these kinds of unique licorices. Highly recommend them!

try the NYC brand or the Rimmel brand -
I use those and they are usually .99 or 1.99 depending on which kind you want. I swear by them because I love to have many different colors and do not want to spend a lot of money.
I have people ask me all the time where I get a particular color, so they obviously don't look "cheap".
I think you can find either of them at Kmart or Walmart.
Good luck!
Believe it or not, but I take Walmart brand Onion and Garlic and mix it with a jar of Walmart brand
Mixing the two sauces togeter gives it the right amount of garlic and veggies. Our family is Italian on both sides, but we all agree for a quick jar sauce instead of homemade, this does the trick! YUM
What brand name does she use?

I pay about $20 for my brand, which
is Jockey. Their underpants are good too. Hard to find in stores anymore, but they can be ordered here.

The same place carries fancier brands also.

One brand is Scat Mat. (sm)
You can hide the mat under a blanket and they still work, from what I've read. That way the pet doesn't know when the mat is there and when it isn't.
I second the Wacoal brand!
I am also a 36D and I have tried every brand out there it seems. The Wacoal are pricey, but they seem to fit the best.
I will be checking this brand out
I heard someone else mention that name. Thanks for the opinions.
Brand New Lemon
Has anyone ever bought a brand new car that turned out to be a lemon?
I need to know what trouble I can avoid when buying used... Thanks.
What brand was it? Did it have a money back
NM
Sears/Kenmore brand
We love ours. Upright with some hoses for hard to reach places. It has an extra-long cord so I don't have to keep plugging and unplugging for every room and it reaches pretty far. We've had it about 8 years - works great. It does however require bags, which I do not mind. I have tried one bagless vacuum and will never buy another one - the dirt got so airborn and it was yucky to clean out. Whoever invented these I do not believe were too health-conscious. At least with the bag, the dirt is confined and you don't have to touch it - eeewww! Hope you like your new carpet, you are so spoiled! 
Regarding brand names of furniture
Am thinking about getting some new furniture. I noticed American Signature had a really good sale on but have never bought any from there. I kinda got stung buying some, what I thought really inexpensive and nice-looking furniture from Ashley's when I moved into my new home in 2004. Well, excited about the newness, I did not check out each piece as it came in 1 x 1. That was my mistake- could not be returned, shoulda checked the small print. A living room chair has arms, 1 is lower than the other- my Bombay chest in the foyer has 1 leg on the bottom that is slightly turned out more than the other- my bedroom furniture has the paint on top flaking off. Needless to say, I do not care about using Ashley again. Now I know I can buy the really, really costly like Broyhill, Thomasville and the like but I have just spent out almost $10,000 getting my main room tiled and my bathroom fixed in slate so now am trying to see what else I can find. Has anyone used American Signature, if so do you like and I am open to any and all suggestions about others. Thanks.
This is a brand new house, just built
Therefore there is nothing to compare it to. I don't know how they came up with the $200+ initially. But since the natural gas bill rarely runs more than $30-40 per month even in winter, I am not going to do averaging on it again, even after the 12-month period is up.
It's worth it for the electricity because it runs around $100 a month with averaging and it goes up and down a lot more. I live in Oklahoma and it can get as high as 100 degrees plus in the summer, and down to zero or below in the winter.
I think it's okay. It's a gift. Gifts don't have to be brand new. sm
I thought it was the thought that counted. When I was pregnant, my mother in law bought me the cutest baby clothes, put them in a cute gift box and they were clearly used - gently, but I did not care! My son wore them over and over and I loved every one of them.
A gift is a gift, new or not.
This is a brand new house, just over a year old
The ducts were cleaned before we moved in. And it has an air-exchange system that completely renews the air within the house every 25 hours. Which is good and bad - if it's mold I'm allergic too, then mold spores are probably coming in from outside. We do have filters, but I'm sure they can't filter out everything.
I'll have to check out those nasal washes. Thanks.

If he wants IPOD, it is brand specific. sm
find out which one he wants and get him that one. They are the best, and especially if he wants an IPOD.
Yes, my husband bought a brand new...sm
Chevrolet S-10 in 1998, and it was a lemon. It never ran right. It missed and spit and sputtered after a few thousand miles. We would take it to the dealership and when they would drive it it wouldn't do it. When they hooked it up to the computer it never showed anything wrong. They said if it doesn't do it while hooked to the computer while we are driving it there is no way to know what is wrong with it. This went on and on. The dealership we bought it from wouldn't do anything. We finally contacted General Motors. After haggling with them for months they bought back the truck. We had to pay $2500 difference though out of pocket. It wasn't just the motor either. The light by the tag in the back that shines next to the tag at night fell out. The passenger side mirror fell off. The handle that opened the third door fell off. It had this awful vibration in the dash. It was just constantly something with the truck.
sell the car and buy her a brand new shiny
bus pass.
What is a good gloss brand of lipstick. nm

Gave 'em a shower - look brand new - thanks!! (nm)

I also wear Berkies and another good brand
would be Clarks. The only thing about wearing the Berkies is I am so used to wearing the thongs/sandals around the house, hard to find any enclosed shoe toe that does not bother me. Just went to foot doctor the other day wearing my Berkies and he said glad to see me wearing that type of shoe (had to have great toenail removed, got fungus getting pedicure!)
the gophones are relatively inexpensive brand new at Walmart; plus -
the new ones also come with $10 service (and you can get them to transfer your old number to the new phone and keep your minutes you already have).
Are they Wal-Mart brand animal crackers?..sm
Are they different than regular ones? I love snacking on chips lately. I also cannot stop eating those Life Savers suckers. They are so good. I really need some ideas on some low-fat snacks that are good.
read somewhere generic is not as effective as brand name
no msg
I also take alka-seltzer (walmart brand)
Alka-Seltzer seems to get my gut moving around more normally and the aspirin stops the pain. You can take this every four hours. I usually have to take it twice. I also don't sleep flat, but more up on an elevated slant. If you can't get out of the house, there is a recipe on the box of baking soda for stomach.
American Signature Furniture is Sears brand I think
they make great furniture today...and Kenmore appliances are Sears brand and I LOVE Kenmore...I have been to an American Signature Furniture store a long time ago and I think I liked their furniture.
Very happy about the heads-up on Ashley Furniture - as I have always wondered about their stuff...so THANKS for that!

I have a glasstop stove. I burned up a brand new oven glove on it becauuse sm
I have no concept of "surface is HOT." It stunk up the place and ruined a new set of oven gloves, but it was okay. I am very careful of it now, because a HOT SURFACE light means it is HOT.
duh...but it was a brain fart.
I'm black
and was not allowed to watch shows with mostly black actors either. I got the beating of my life when I got caught watching Soul Train. My brother got the beating of his life when he got caught watching 'Good Times' with JJ and Thelma.
My mom was very serious about education and steering us away from shows that glorified negative stereotypes of black people.
I also could not watch:
BET
MTV
VH1 (could not watch any music videos whatsoever).
I find myself doing the same thing with my son. No matter what the race of the actors, I do not allow him to watch 'dumb' shows....shows that contribute nothing that is beneficial to him.
you could do orange and black
streamers (i think that is what they are called) like are used at bday parties. Outline your trunk with. Then a really cute idea I thought of was if you could find a scarecrow for cheap or make one that can sit, sit it in your trunk and put the candy on top of it like it is bathing in candy. You could also put a fake pumpkin or real in there on top like it is floating in the water for his rubber duck
No Black Friday
No Black Friday thing this year because I didn't see anything that jumped out at me in the sale papers....until dh told me about Walmart's secret items that they just found out about on Wednesday. They had a computer tower, mouse and keyboard for 148 bucks. (you had to supply your own monitor). I thought they would be great for the boys. It was one to a customer so I recruited Kristi (my 19 year) to come with me. I was up and out the door at 3:30, planning to pick Kristi up and be in line by 4 for the 5am sale. Walmart had their greeters handing out maps so that you could find the sale items and get in the right line. I was all over that store because these computers were not where the map said they were. I asked lots of associates and got pointed in lots of directions and I was MOVING man! LOL Kristi was like, MOM, it's 4 in the morning, slow down. You have to forgive her, she's never been to a Black Friday sale. I teased her that she should be able to keep up with an old lady. LOL
Finally, I'm back to the place on the map, with a huge sign pointing down to where those computers are supposed to be and flag down a manager, who goes in the back and checks. He comes back out to me and says that they never got any!!! What??? You never got any?? And he says there are no rainchecks either since they never got them. What?????
So that was the end of that. I did end up getting, on a whim, two gamer chairs...the last two they had. They were on sale for less than half of what they usually are. I NEVER buy things on a whim, but I figured if I bought them and decided it wasn't a good idea, I could always return them. If I didn't buy them and THEN decided it WAS a good idea, I'd be kicking myself.
At least I didn't walk out of there with nothing so that the entire trip wasn't a waste, right?? LOL
If you went to the sales in the wee hours of the morning, how did you do? Did you get what you went for?

She is only defending him because he's black
just like Jamie Fox said it which is probably where she got her idea.
First of all, get a black keyboard. (sm)
But I have alcohol wipes I use about once a week over the keyboard. It helps a lot. Or even HandiWipes help. But to get down in the valleys I do resort to a Q-Tip and alcohol on occasion.
Lewis Black
Ever see Lewis Black do his routine about the weather when he stayed in Boston? Pretty funny!
Two black beauties!
They look like the best of friends!
Or a black snake.

Is this family black? sm
It sure sounds it. My experience growing up in a fairly racially segregated town is that white funerals are reserved and solemn, black funerals are loud and dramatic--whether celebratory or morose. I swear they try to outdo each other in their show of grief. I've never seen so many women pass out in one place as I did at a black funeral.
I don't think anything you say will "comfort" them because it's their culture to put on a dramatic grief-stricken show.
Black Hills of SD
There are dozens of interesting things there, from Mt. Rushmore, Reptile Gardens, lots of caves and beautiful scenery, especially Spearfish Canyon. Lots of cabins to rent. And Rapid City has a great mall!
The Black Hills are best seen
from the back seat of a Harley.

To anonamissytoo - You have stated below that you had an abortion AND gave a child up for adoption. What gives you the right to call her a troll? You, IMO, should have been spayed as well, especially after all of the posts about the child you don't care to hear from. I am just curious as to why you didn't choose to abort her as well???
Black Friday
My husband and I always shop on Black Friday, but if there's something we really want he goes out at about 4:00-5:00 in the morning to get it and then comes back to get me at around 9:00. I'm not a morning person at all. I usually don't go to bed unti 4:00 a.m. because of work so the thought of getting up that early doesn't appeal to me. We leave the kids at my parents where we spend Thanksgiving. Then we go out to a fantastic Greek Restaurant for lunch then back to grandma and grandpa and then travel back home an hour away. Then the next day it's off to cut down our Christmas tree.
black friday
I went one time...and won't do it again. I guess it would be better if I had someone to go with, but even then it gets crazy! Good luck to you! I will stay at home on Black Friday & shop online!
Black Friday
Where did you go?
What time you started?
What did you buy?
Yes, i'm very nosey.
BLACK FRIDAY
Stayed home just relaxing -- when I heard earlier on NPR that a Wal-Mart employee was trampled to death when a crowd of early shoppers pushed in the front doors! They said the store was on Long Island, but gave no town. Guess what? I grew up on Long Island (that's NY) but have lived in Maine for years -- haven't seen a crowd yet! Bargains will still be there tomorrow.
Rosie
I never go out on Black Friday...SM
We live in an unstable environment, I feel at least. And I woudlnt feel safe going to a store on this day. In fact, I do all my shopping before Thanksgiving, mainly just to avoid lines, crowds, and out of stocks, but in the last few years I also have to safety into my mix of reasons for my early shopping. Crazy world!!
