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.

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
oh, LEMON!!! Me too!!
The best is Olive Garden's lemon cake. heaven. the best i have ever had!
Anything cherry or lemon! Bring it on!

Water with lemon, hot or cold. nm

Check if you have a computer lemon law in your state.nm

Hand them a lemon to smell and taste and put sunlight on them
Lemon jello or ices. Lots of hot herb tea. nm

A product called 'Fruit Fresh' or simply lemon juice
Drizzled over the fruit that browns will keep it from browning...or at least I think anyway. Never take cooking advice someone who messes up hard boiled eggs.
Try some herb teas and seltzer with lemon or lime to drink. Veggies & hummus

Boneless chicken breast in a lemon cream sauce served on fettucini with salad and garlic bread.

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.
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

Black Opal licorices is the brand...
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!
Check them out on line here:

Again, found 'em at Target too!
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 love the dressing and I love lemon pie..sm
My mom's lemon pie that is. I also love this dessert called Texas Delight or some people call it different things but is is layers of chocolate pudding and cream cheese and whipped cream. The food is my favorite part besides the watching my son open presents on x-mas.
