The paper towel commercial...

In Reply to: What TV commercial drives you - up the wall?
with the kid shaking the soda bottle that explodes all over the kitchen and his mom grabs the hose from the sink and sprays him back. What an example for all the little kids watching TV! 
I personally like the Geico cavemen. They crack me up everytime. But I don't think they need a TV show based on them. That's too much.

Can wax paper be substituted for parchment paper? nm
Anyone thrown in the towel?
Has anyone here who has run a successful business thought about -- or already has -- closed the doors after hitting too many rough spots?
I'm talking about people like me who pay rent, pay lawyers, pay staffers, pay freelancers, pay... well, pay everyone first and pay yourself last.
If you think you get paid first as a business owner, please don't reply.
I want to hear from people who have lost too many accounts, been sued, partners or employees stole from you, rents too high, revenue too low, getting too old, etc.
I'd like to hear what would push you over the edge to quit, or if you have quit, I'd like to know what you're doing now and how you feel about "working for someone else". Yes, I know you're always working for someone else.
But now you don't have to pay the bills, fix the computers, put up with childish and inexperienced workers, non-paying clients, etc.
Yes, as you can tell, I'm thinking about calling it quits and taking the easy way out: taking a staff job with benefits.
yes, you can practice by trying to pick up a towel (sm)
with your toes. Rather than doing the bending back and stretching, which I eventually started to think was actually aggravating my fasciitis, bend your toes under like you are going to pick something up with your foot.
I have thrown in the towel with kids, grandchildren
Know this sounds harsh but I just got tired of trying. I am the kid's paternal grandmother and never came close to the love and affection they showered on their maternal one even though I tried and tried. They were taken as small infants mostly to her home and I came in a far second even though we lived close by one another. They are now 16 and 18 and I rarely see or talk with them and I have a wonderful life and it really doesn't bother me anymore like it once did. Such are the facts of life. My son (their father) apparently was engulfed by the other side and did not stand up for me. That is life. I just wish them well.
I didn't take HRT (my choice) and I sleep on a towel
Started menopause at 42....took like 10 years....but the sweats at night never do stop for some of us (my GYN tells me he still has an 80 y/o patient who calls him and says she still has night sweats) and I feel I'm probably one of those people.......sleeping on a big towel protects the sheets from having to DO THEM EVERYDAY (laundry). *LOL*
Happy menopause ladies!!!
throw a blanket or towel over it and then shuffle it out nm

Ha! me too (petticoat veils), and a towel for playing Nuns! NM
.
would love to slap more than a dish towel on his head!!!

What was the commercial?
Google the product and lyrics together.
commercial...
Yes, that commercial about the minivan (Toyota, Nissan...can't remember) with the 2 bratty kids sitting in it playing cards and the dad telling them about the treehouse..."does it have leather seats? a DVD player?" Uhhh, that just really gets under my skin but good...
car commercial
No, it's 2 guys, one is big and fat (the owner) but they both have hair and no beard. At the end he shouts "HUGE" in the most obnoxious way, sends me round the bend.
Commercial
I just posted this exact same question in myspace! 
My fav commercial is the commercial with Meatloaf. It's for the AT&T ToGo Phone. The son is asking for one in the garage and he's all "let me sleep on it" so they just sing back and forth together and then the mom walks in carrying some sort of deer leg or something for the freezer?! lol it's great.
commercial
The fast food commercial for BK (I think) where the car in line behind the one at the window starts shoving the couple at the window up so he can order a steak sandwich with wheels screeching and rubber burning. Cracks me up every time.
Commercial
Not exactely sure what they are advertising, I think digital TV, but the husband is complaining to a friend by singing Billy Idol's Rebel Yell. Was so crazy about him in high school!
commercial
The Oxy-Clean commercials with the dark haired guy screaming through the whole commercial. He looks and sounds like a scary ape!
Commercial...
Right now I don't like that Wal-Mart commercial about the Power Wheels truck and she says..."I would have paid anything for that morning..." or something like that! Gah...annoys me cause most of us real folk can't afford to pay "anything for that morning..."
VERY BIG IN CT--ALWAYS IN PAPER NM

Me? I'm a walking commercial for them! LOL.
Am still amazed at how well they clean! Also have a microfiber mop. I used to get on my hands and knees and scrub my floors, but after I found this mop, that's all I use! I have so many of these cloths around my house because I just don't want to be without them! Have given them to my DILs and my friends, and they love them too. I can just go on and on about them. I know it's crazy, but after all the years of scrubbing and hands that get cracked and dried from chemicals, I just can't say enough about them.
I don't remember the commercial, but I think--sm
it was a toothpaste product. I have tried googling the lyrics, but don't get anywhere that way.
What TV commercial drives you
With me, it's the one for NutriSystem! I'm so sick of hearing about that "smoking hot body" and the "trophy wife!"
Every time it comes on, I want to 
Anyone else want to share?
The HeadOn commercial..
makes me want to scream! The Cavemen too, hate them!
What's your favorite commercial?
I love the one where the guy gets up in the middle of the night and puts the diamond necklace around his wife's neck. When she wakes up he pretends to be asleep but right at the end he just barely starts to smile. He has the sexiest mouth!
What's your favorite?
DH and I both enjoy that commercial,
but he interprets it very differently than I do. I see it as a dad thinking his daughter is embarrassed by his house, and he wants to improve it so she isn't embarrassed. But DH just thinks she's simply planting an idea for her mother, and that the dad will think it's all his idea that the kitchen needs to be updated. I'm thinking this means that if we had a daughter, this technique would completely work on him!
The TLC commercial about fathers
I think it is so sweet and really tasteful.
Just saw a commercial for Oprah about how
to talk to your kids about divorce. I think it said it will be on next Wednesday.
what's your favorite commercial right now??
Mine is the hotels.com where they guy gets excited about having 2 shampoos in the hotel and the the wife goes, maybe they are trying to buy you off so you will write a good review...and he goes, it's working...and pours both bottles on his dry head. I don't know why but it just cracks me up every time I see it.
my favorite commercial is sm
The cell phone commercials with the old lady and her mom says who can you be texting and she says my BFF Rose.
Commercial blooper and they don't know it
I just saw a commercial that mis-stated itself. It was for Barbisol shaving cream. The announcer said "And with 7 different flavors you can pick the right one". Flavors? Think they meant scents. All I thought of was....ewwww people eat shaving cream??? HA HA. Wonder if anyone has brought it to their attention.
But at least its not as annoying as 75% of most commercials. What commercial do you hate the worst.
1. Free credit report.com
2. Commercial about animal abuse. - That affects me way too emotionally and I have to change channels cos I start crying.
3. Any commercial where they have objects acting like people (like the swifter commercial).
4. Any commercial where someone is over-acting. Saw one for a dog/cat brush where the girl went to take the hair off of the (old and bad) brush and she acted as though her fingers had been slashed with 100 razor blades.
The lists goes on and on and on. And if I do see a commercial that is annoying I will refuse to buy it and buy the other brand in protest.
my son is shooting his first commercial!
We are thrilled!
That's what paper towels are for...
or even toilet paper...I flush with my foot, no way am I touching handle, and never open the door with my bare hands. There was a study once showing that the most common germs on money, shopping cart handles, and restroom door handles was fecal matter!
my mom too used wax paper to bake for 40 yrs
.
paper or bags
It's paper for me all the way - I love to wrap and make bows, etc. My sister does bags, hates to wrap. To each his own.
Think it would take more than paper to deter a

Paper trails........
Suspicion started a long time ago, wondering where they get the money to support such a lifestyle with such large families. They do have their own businesses but most not enough to support those families and HUGE expensive homes for a lot of them. The investigations into this showed they were very dependent on the government for welfare assistance programs. It is hypocritical isn't it...to cut themselves off from this horrible sinful outside world only to partake in it as they see fit.....our money!!!
Buy more than one paper Thurs. a.m.
It will be worth the price to get extra coupons, especially if you have someone else to go with. Preplan the day/night before. Layer clothing as it may be really cold out usually (where I live anyway) but the stores get hot, crowded and nasty. But it's worth it if you really still need to shop for some special things. I would not want my husband with me as he gets frustrated with crowds and holds me back. Better to bring a friend who will help you shop and likes the excitement of it all. Have fun!!
Hey, anyone into paper mache?
That is something else I have thought would be fun. Anyone into that?
I know it gets a little more complicated (materials and such) than the balloon pinatas made in school, but I'd like to learn.
Please research commercial pet foods
Please read this article, Iams is not a good food, there are many many out there that are, just not found at the grocery store. Vets do not know either, they are not taught animal nutrition in the vet schools which are subsidized by the pet food companies. I was horrified when I found this information out, please please inform yourself on this subject and if you find the below article too lengthy, just Google commercial pet food ingredients and you will be horrified such as I was when I finally decided to research this after my Collie died covered in cancer. All for the animals.

Any commercial with Billy Mays (sm)
"Hi, I'm Billy Mays with some other junk product to clean your dirty stuff with that the other junk you bought from me didn't clean up in the first place." Why does the TV go louder when he's on, as if I really want to hear him?
There was a commercial a few years back for a dishwashing soap where this dog was slurping his big tongue all over the plates to preclean them. NASTY. I had to turn that one off everytime I saw it.
I'm in Iowa. We've had politician ads on the TV for a while now. I'm so thrilled.
Craftmatic beds, Chia Pets, The Clapper, etc., are cheesy but classic.
The Daisy sour cream commercials used to be on nearly constantly. The theme song would grind into my memory. No, I did not want a dollop of Daisy.
I'd have to say that Kevin Trudeau with his informercials is probably the worst. What a goon.

commercial pet food ingredients
I have posted this before, thought I would post it again for those who had not seen it.
The foods you describe are of low grade ingredients, and certainly not human grade, if you want to learn more, please take the time to look at the below link.
I have tested this myself. I feed Innova a grain-free product to my 4 cats. I have had to switch to a commercial brand rarely because of availability issues and I find they eat double of the commercial brand over the high quality brand. I feed 2 cups of Innova dry a day, when I have had to switch in the past, I have had to up that by 4 cups a day of the regular grocery commercial food because they are having to eat more to fulfill their nutritional requirements, so you really do come out even in the long run, plus you are providing human grade nutrition to your loved companions. It also helps cut down on vet bills because your companions will be healthier in the long run. I hope this helps.

I loathe that commercial. The kid is so disrespectful. (nm)

saw a commercial last night for ACE of Cakes
and the next episode is "New Season". Don't know exactly when that episode is, last night, tomorrow, or sometime this weekend, but at least you are getting your wish.
That Leap Frog commercial
where this man is dressed as a giant frog or lizzard and says that books are boring except the ones that can be read by that pen they are trying to sell.
I've tried a lot of paper and it still has trouble.

I use A LOT more than 2 squares of toilet paper. LOL

wrapping paper tubes
I like your daughter's idea.... Call all your friends and ask how many rolls of holiday wrapping paper they've got stashed in a corner of a closet...slide the paper off and you can cut about 4-5 usable tubes outta each one. Depending on the school colors, you may be able to use some of the paper as the outside wrapping. What about reynolds wrap tubes?
Beatles. Paper or plastic?

you'll get a paper check
if you didn't get and refund and sent them money, the rebate won't be direct deposited, a paper check will be sent.
