read somewhere generic is not as effective as brand name
no msg
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!
?? Wyoming not out west?
I have been to Tahoe, driven to Yosemite and on the trip this summer going through the Rockies so do not think where I will visit will be all flat but then again my idea of a wonderful trip is scenery and animals and should get a dream trip again this summer. I said my departure from Denver, going through several states before leaving out. I hook up with an escorted tour and just have the time of my life. Went on same to Alaska last year. What a blast!
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
I have lived in Wyoming all my life .....
It is definately West!! We have it all, flats, mountains, snow in summer, it has snowed here on the 4th of July!! If you are going to Yellowstone, chances are you will see snow in some places...not alot, but some. Jackson, in the mountains, and in the Big Horn mountains around Sheridan should still have some, depending on how late in the summer you come. We have a little of everything and lots of space to breath! I would not want to live anywhere else!! Welcome..I hope you enjoy your visit!!
Trying to find my MT friend KL in Wyoming (sm)
Hey - you moved from NC probably 3 years ago.. I changed jobs so my old email doesn't work, my hard drive at home crashed so I lost your info...haven't talked to you in probably a year! You have 4 boys, 2 of which are twins. Email me!!
Wyoming schools started around the 20th
my daughter's don't start preschool until after Labor day.
I live in Wyoming, I stayed overnight in the
was considered "same day" because I was discharged prior to 24 hours. I had my surgery on a Monday and returned to work on Wednesday. Every insurance company is different, check into your insurance very very well and have full knowledge of what they cover and what they don't. There are ALWAYS surgical complications that CAN occur, I have been fortunate and have had no complications.
lapbandtalk.com is a fantastic website to go into to.
I wish you the best, and you can e mail me if you would like.
$2.00 a gallon,

About the same. I buy 89 octane at $3.21/gallon.
Have an 18-gallon tank to fill on my car. LOL
3.14-3.16 a gallon yesterday x

Milk around here is $2.50 a gallon
and it takes 1 gallon to make a nice chunk of mozzarella. It takes 3 gallons to make the harder cheeses like cheddar and Monterey Jack. I want a good "biting" sharp cheese.
I'm sure if I look around here, I could find cheaper milk. I just haven't tried yet. Years ago, I could buy raw milk from a local farmer, but I don't think there are any dairy farmers around here anymore. I know of 1 in another county but he's 20 miles away "over the mountain". It's too dangerous to go there in the winter.
Yes. Gas prices have shot up $.60 per gallon
in less than two weeks here. I drove the kids home from school one day, made a mental note to get gas, and the price had gone up $.25 by the time I got back to the gas station. Ridiculous!
Central WA - 4.09 a gallon. I'm selling my SUV! Anyone interested?
$4.75 a gallon of milk at Costco here, cheapest place around nm

buy generic
I buy generic. Will try anything once and if it is too nasty, not use it again. I now buy generic laundry soap (who can afford to pay $12 for a bottle of Tide or Cheer?), generic soups for cooking. I have found some things actually taste better than name brand. I used to only buy ground sirloin for hamburgers...that has stopped.
My only advice...do not buy generic toilet paper. It is useless!!
I always buy generic.
I oftentimes laugh when I am shopping at my local store as I know when a meal or baking is done what the problem could be in doing this as doubt anyone can tell or if there is a difference that I made this with generic eggs for say 1.29 a dozen rather than those fancy eggs with a little stick-on at about twice as much. Doubt it.
Find a local closest to home discount grocery.
Stock up on staples and store them appropriately. If you bake, store brown sugar with a piece of bread in it to keep it soft, replace it if you need to. Lots of items can be stored in freezer bags of the appropriate size, spaghetti, macaroni, etc. Better than the bag it comes in. Get those generic too.
I buy all my paper items in bulk - much cheaper to buy a 12-roll of TP on sle definitely than not. Just make sure its not single-ply!!
I was also on clonazepam (generic) and
I was on it for nearly 10 years. Initially it was given to stop muscle cramps and spasms from my kidney disease. I was only on 0.5 mg a day for all those years. I stopped taking it cold turkey not knowing it was a drug you could become addicted to. I experienced agitation, neuropathy, hypersensitivity and it lasted roughly a week and a half. It was bad! When I next talked to my Doctor, he about freaked. He told me that drug is NEVER cold-turkeyed, but one must wean from it, because quitting it could cause seizures and other side effects up to and including death. I'm glad I'm off it though.
Just be aware that no matter how small the dose, when you stop it, WEAN!
A Little Sexy which is the generic for Red
Whenever I wear it I get complements too.
Santa Cruz, CA. Fifty bucks got me 3/4 tank in my 4 Runner @ 3.93/gallon. Plus... sm
There is a $50 limit at the gas pumps for credit cards... so could not fill it all the way up! That's kinda lame... (I get cash rebate so using that for gas always). My 4Runner is not too bad on a gas for a truck... not like a Honda though. But at least my dog can hang is head out the rear window!
Second-hand and generic items
I am shopping for second-hand items at resale shops and buying only sale and generic items at the grocery store. I don't drive as much or as far as I used to to shop. I am working more hours, although for less pay as an MT.
I think the the crooks (politicians) who put the American public in this position should be prosecuted.
Zyrtec...generic..is good, sm
I also use Benadryl severe allergy and sinus (if you get the one w/o the sinus part listed it doesn't do much). Try saline nasal spray too, but don't use something like Afrin for more than 3 days in a row 'cuz your nose can get hooked on it.
I had sinus surgery about 10 years ago and my sinuses are even worse now. They're somewhat better now since I'm away from the humidity of FL, but still horrible. I also use Nasonex RX 'cuz that's the only one w/o a nasty aftertaste.
Generic Zyrtec is good.
Take it at night cause it'll make you sleepy.
Maybe as soon as you wake up, you can take some Benadryl (or generic), that helps me. nm

I just thought of a great generic gift
for secret Santas and/or acquaintences. It's not very personal... My daughter asked me what I wanted for Christmas and there's really nothing I want besides winning the lotto, so I thought of the last thing I wanted to buy at the store, but didn't because I'd already reached my budget... okay this is very not sexy lol... I'm slowly replacing all my regular light bulbs with the those new energy-efficient fancy expensive things, So I told her to buy me a couple. An inexpensive, useful gift, that sends a Green message! Being a messenger of Green, I thought I might pass the suggestion to all of ya'll who need an impersonal but useful gift for someone. hoho ;-)
I always thought Destiny's Child was generic, girl singers.

Save your money - just buy generic Benadryl (same ingredient) unless you have pain.
nm
Generic corn-chex cereal, milk, & a cup of coffee. (nm)
.
Try Benadryl, the generic is cheap. Works great, not habit-forming. NM

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.
I'd go with either kitty litter buckets or 5-gallon white buckets.
My MIL tried milkjugs but her plants got too big.
Here's a good picture similar to what I do. Hope the link works.

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:
http://www.licoriceinternational.com/store/cart.php?cat=Australian+Licorice
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).
