Just cuz of the price doesn't always mean it is

the best product. I have watched many segments on talk shows that prove the same ingredients are in expensive products as well as inexpensive products, and some of these products don't work at all. I'm not saying there aren't some really good products out there, but Suave does just as good a job on my hair as anything else on the market.

Hey, have at it. If you want a lazy, apathetic, not affectionate, doesn't listen, doesn't make
can reach him!!! Let me know if you're interested.
It doesn't make me mad but it doesn't sound intelligent either (sm)
I am sure if all of those people who were aborted were living, some would be good and some would be bad, in the same proportion as there is good to bad now. Your statement makes no sense. So somehow the babies who were aborted were meant to be aborted because they were bad seeds? Whatever. Sorry, that's just silly.
It doesn't always work that way though - some give but it doesn't come back like that nm

I could never put a price on that.
and the price is going up! nm

Not sure of price
I got mine years ago but my son just bought one and I think he might have spent around $100. Still worth the price since it wouldn't take Direct TV long to eat up $100.
price of
Hedge funds setting the price of oil worries me a lot more.
Price tags
Did they have the items priced with tags? I hate it when I go to a sale and no prices on items. I have had a few sales and always price items. It helps, but there are still the hagglers which drives me nuts. If you can afford a quarter, you can probably afford fifty cents. LOL.
Don't know what price range
you're looking at, but my husband is a vet, not in private practice anymore, and people used to give him gift certificates to Omaha Steaks, which he loved, and sometimes gave them himself to clients. I think sometimes they run specials on their website and could maybe get something for under 50 or 40. Another thing he really liked when in private practice, but he was large animal kind of out in the boonies, was Schwann's (sp). He said he used to keep a refrigerator with food and treats from Schwann's in case he couldn't leave and his people had to stay over to help.
If the descrepancy in price was not there....
they would have to. So long as MTs anywhere are willing to work for 3 to 4 cpl, quality will always be sacrificed. There are US companies that will take the cheapest MTs they can get, without worrying about quality, and those MTs don't make the corrections either. As long as anyone can offer the service at such drastically reduced prices, end users will sacrifice quality for price when cost is to the driving factor.
Look at generic foods. Most people by foods based on taste first, price second. Generic foods have had to increase their taste (quality) to be able to compete. The savings they gain are in lack of advertising, which they pass on to the consumer, which is how they undercut prices on the shelf. In the MT world, the cost was low enough that the end consumer was willing to sacrifice quality. Now, the US provider is having to compete with that cost profile, ergo the downturn in our ability to make $$. They are willing to sacrifice sentence structure, etc, so long as certain items are met to take the lower cost. So long as the lower cost drives an industry where the end consumer is willing to sacrifice quality, cost will always be the driving factor. Therefore, if the offshore (and low-paying US)MTSOs would increase their price, quality would become the primary difference, and MOST substandard MTs in all countries would simply find nobody willing to use their services, which would only benefit the industry regardless of the individual's geographic location.
Umm... what's that got to do with the price of eggs?
That was a pretty off-subject, incoherent rant.
Have you seen the price of Spam? sm
I don't think it is economical, especially given what is in it. I also remember when you got ham in a funny shaped can and whole chickens too.
as the to reference to Spamolot, which is now a Broadway musical...
I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay, I sleep all night and I work all day. Then something about on Tuedays I go to town in mummy's panties and a bra!
I love Monty Python.
Yep. OIl companies don't like the price low.
They cut production to get the prices up again. If we're not _____ by the oil nations, we're ____ by the American oil companies. G-R-E-E-D is the name of the game in the last few years.
Government tells us to cut our driving. Well, I hate to tell them but between a pickup and a car, we drove a total of 5,838 miles last year, and most of that mileage was 100 miles a day for DH to go to work. I get to the store once a month anymore, 2 mile round trip. The only thing I can cut down on is to walk to the store and back. Been there done that, but I'm no spring chicken and carrying 5 bags or more, well....you'd see a bag every 100 feet. 
usually it's half price
But most places you sneak food rather than pay :)
I'll add mine so someone can get 3 for the price of 1! ...nm

Any VW owners know price of a radiator & fan? (sm)
My car broke down this afternoon! I heard a loud noise like I had run over something, pulled over and saw all the coolant and water pouring from my radiator. The fan broke and a blade went into the radiator. I pulled inrto the nearest repair shop (lucky for me one was really close) and they gave me an estimate of $1200!!!! My husband had it towed to a mechanic he uses, but I am curious since my car is a VW how much should it cost to get this fixed??
One can't put a price tag on what Christmas really means but...sm
if we didn't set limits/budgets in our household then we'd end up spending a cazillion bucks on the season. Having limits set helps keeps us on track of not getting carried away buying gifts yet lets us purchase gifts for people to Celebrate the season.... just as the wise men took gifts when Jesus was born to celebrate his birth. Setting limits gives everyone who is buying in our family line parameters for what kind of gifts they need to look at. Fortunately no one in our family line needs anything per se but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give them a gift. We do buy gifts in addition for foster kids and that comes from a different section of our family budget.
To try lamb without the high price,
you might buy the blade chops. The cuts of lamb I've had have been very rich and high in fat, and I highly recommend putting at least rosemary on it. It will smell like something a chef would make.
what price range...I see they are very expensive
I need a great shampooer.
What is the weather, What is the price, size, etc. sm
I am freezing up here. Would love to be able to buy and not rent.
I got you beat on the price you paid
I will not tell you what year I bought my home but it was 15,500. Yep, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and stayed for a long time. Sold about a year or so ago for 165,000. I had added on over the years and had 2 baths and 3 bedrooms when sold plus other updates. Pretty good profit, huh?
It is supposed to triple in price s/m
in Michigan. Our local store informed us that as of April 1st, our $18 bag that we get will triple and is now taking orders for people to stock up (apparently you can freeze it). I personally do not smoke, but my DH does. He rolls as well and I'm just a person that stakes out the prices, LOL. He said that he wants to preorder several bags and plans on slowly quitting. He has tried the patches, gum, medication, etc, but I think in the long run, pricing will be what does it! Yeah for me!
Geez. I've never seen that price.
We have a produce store right down the street. They sell dairy, meats, breads, snacks, canned good, but the produce is what I go for.
Bananas are usually 3 lb. for $1, red peppers in the winter are 2 for $1, green 3 and sometimes 4 for $1, packaged radishes 3 bags for $1, lemons and limes 6 for $1, apples are $1 a basket, and globe tomatoes are 2 pints for $1. Fresh white mushrooms are 99 cents a pound and portabellos are $1.99 a pound (expensive in my eyes but fresh). cukes 4 for $1. They have fresh zuchini, egglant, yellow squash, yellow and orange peppers, asparagus, fresh herbs, you name it. Oh, they did up the price on lettuce and celery. They used to be 2 for $1 and now they're $1 a piece. They sell potatoes loose or by the basket, usually no more than $1.50. A 50 pound bag of red or white potatoes last week was $11.95.
They also sell bread at 2 loaves for $1.75. It used to be 2 loaves for $1.25.
I love this store but if I don't get there as soon as they open, I can't get in. It gets packed and there's not a parking spot to be found. Gee, wonder why?
Are you kidding?? That's a GREAT price. I'm going to Target. (sm)
Oh, the hot tub scene was great! I first thought it was blood, though, and I thought she got her period. Maybe the color on my TV is off?
you need to buy the brush to put it on, total price for the first time is $28
you can apply it in two different ways, one way in which you let your moisturizer dry and the put it on and another is use a bit of moisturizer to get that "dewy" look. Also you should always start off with less (at least with our brand) because it is layerable for a fuller-coverage. Also there are 6 different shades to choose from so you should be able to find a perfect match.
Asking you experts - where to buy "wireless" headphones, best price???
This is for a Christmas gift for my husband. He loves boxing and I hate it, so I would rather read in peace, Thanks for your help. Don't want "used." So I guess it's actually my gift to myself, I guess!
Love Ray Price's version if you play

NetMed has a price calculator on their website...15 cpl..
called apples to oranges. Shows how they calculate how they charge clients and how they pay per line.
Does anyone know the price of a stamp these days? I have lost track. I have some old ones,
want to mail some cards, but not sure if I can paste enough together to make enough postage? What is the price of one stamp now? Thanks
Try Florida. Lots of foreclosures there, and unfortunately the price of housing is way down.
you should be able to afford something there. Always warm.
My sister just moved there, on the gulf side.
Peronsally, I would rather pay full price than shop on Black Friday.

What price range? I recently made a slide show for a relative (sm)
from their old photos
Chevy ང flex fuel - love it! Big saving on price now, used to buy Olds.

That actually doesn't look that bad!
I love pork especially at a pig roast...by the end of the day the meat just falls off the bones it is so tender. Doesn't look too terrifying!
Doesn't take much to get you going does it? nm

If a dog doesn't have anything
to do, he will occupy himself. His thing is barking, which isn't fair to the neighbors. I had a neighbor who'd let his laborador bark for hours on end while I was trying to work. Almost drove me insane. To catch a break I'd occasionally take a rawhide, stuff all the cracks with peanut butter, and throw it over the fence. Ah, blessed peace for a while.
Cesar Millan has a website. I'm sure you can get lots of ideas there. It's all about exercise, discipline and then affection. You have to communicate your leadership and also use up his energy and teach him what it is you expect of him.
Why doesn't she get her own
It sounds to me like she wants you to pay her bills. She'll have to find a job and get a roommate like any one of us would. Why should you compromise what you have with your boyfriend when she'll be coming age very soon and can be out on her own? Let her know she's welcome to visit or whatever, but you'd rather see her pursue her own living quarters. 
That is my mom, she just doesn't get
it. She also thinks it is because of my husband. Nobody is good enough for me. Doesn't matter who it is. She has been telling everyone it is because she will not lend us money. My husband and I both work our butts off and have never borrowed money from anyone but the bank.
My brother and I have not been the closest and about two weeks ago, I called him. I now believe that a lot of reason why we are not close is due to my mother. He is four years younger and I was out of the house by the time he was 13. I always got my mother's point of view of what was going on with him and I should have known better. She told me he doesn't talk to her because she won't lend him money. He and I thought we didn't have a lot in common, so most of the communication was between him and my mom, then mom would "tell" me. He doesn't want her to see his son either, but being that he is divorced, his ex-wife allows her to see him. He said that she was always intervening in his life, no matter what it was. She kicked him out of her home when he was 15 and he has never looked back. He now has his PhD as a recent graduate and is very successful. We both believe it is a control issue with her.
That leads to this, I have researched grandparents rights as well. In Michigan, as long as the parents are married and fit parents, grandparents have no rights. If you were never married, separated or divorced or worse yet, proved to be unfit, then they have rights to see the children. Something to think about.
He doesn't like going out...
im at a loss because I am a social butterfly and I want the man that I love with me all the time. Don't get me wrong i LOVE my girls nights out, but I want him there sometimes. I think this is one of the main issues holding me back from getting married. I do respect that he doesn't like to dance, or go to bars... but he doesn't even like to go to my friend's houses... He is a little on the shy side and I have been with him 6 years (and we have known each other since we were in 7th grade - about 15 years-, lived down the street from each other...) And I can't see myself without him but I know this is keeping me from marrying him because I want that socialization. Even when we have a family I almost am positive I am going to want to have friends over with their kids... bbq's in the summer... stuff like that and he just isn't like me at all in that way. How do I deal with this? Oh yea even if he is willing to compromise I feel like he hates it though and that is still really hard for me to deal with. If he is just sitting there not having fun that's almost worse than him not coming at all... :( we are at a crossroads right now and that is why i am asking. we either stay together or dont...
I think the same way - if the OP doesn't
like the smoke, then she'd best look elsewhere. It's not fair to say "smoke outside" when they are paying the rent, too. Some people just amaze me!
mine doesn't...
I make Paula Deen's southern cornbread dressing...go to Food Network's site and look up the recipe. It's yummy, has no meat whatsoever, and makes a ton of dressing...HAPPY HOLIDAYS...
My mother's doesn't either...
Made with Pepperidge farm stuffing mix, white wine, mushrooms, celery, onions, chopped walnuts, seasoning. Not sure what else but it's different and delicious, still the best I've ever had!
Doesn't sound right
under those circumstances. Then whenever someone wanted new wall-to-wall they could just crap it up themselves and submit a claim and get a new rug.
At any rate, even if this is somehow true, the insurance company will only jack up your rate or drop you all together, so you're going to pay either way. And then you'll have a claim history and no other company will want you either.
I agree, it's more than just pot. Pot doesn't do that. sm
I have heard that taking Niacin helps clear out of your system faster as well as trying to "sweat" it out like he is. He also needs plenty of sunshine and you to be there for him. Rather than turning against him, stuck together with him and help him through it. It will make your relationship so much better in the long run and he needs the love and support of you to help him get to that place. Admire him for trying to break his addiction. It is very addicting. His rollercoaster of sweating, can't sleep, and emotional issues sound more related to crack/crank or methampetamines to me. I'd tell him in order for you to be supportive and helpful to him right now, he needs to at least be honest with you.
I can't tell the difference when something has MSG and when it doesn't. nm

I am not saying my hubby doesn't look
he just doesn't let me see him looking. Hey, I still look too.
He doesn't like the masks...
my DD has taken over the mask and my kids like to sleep with fans now too. I just turn them off before I go to bed.
She doesn't impress me though
Just something about her... She's like never smiling. Even when he gave her a rose last night, she just looks mad. Could just be the editing.. maybe there's something about her he does like. I think he might like Tessa... and Amber. I can't believe I let myself get into this show again.
