In Reply to: Brand New Lemon - car
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.

I am blessed that my husband is so thoughtful. He bought
put a lot of thought into them. He has always been that way. He is very caring and considerate. Our daughter is equally caring and thoughtful. I am a very blessed and lucky gal.
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?
NM
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.

bus pass.
What is a good gloss brand of lipstick. nm

Gave 'em a shower - look brand new - thanks!! (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:
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).
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!
Actually is a Dollar General brand Brat cause more light

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.
Does your husband or significant other do this? Just now, at 7:30, my husband came home from sm
playing sports with a friend. After showering he comes downstairs naked and tries to start a conversation with me. My "office" is in the living room and he is standing in back of the couch so I can't see any private parts, just him without his shirt, but I can see enough to know he clearly is naked! I think he wants me to be amused or get turned on or something, but I'm not amused one bit. In fact, I keep working and basically ignore him.
Poor guy. I swear he thinks he's Vince Vaughn or something. I should at least smile at him but all I want to tell him is to put some clothes on! ugh!
you should have bought it together.
my husband adn i shop together at the sex shops. i would be angry too if you were trying to hide it.
What GPS was that you bought ? ...sm
I am terrible with getting around. I could get lost easily and the older I get the worse I get with not wanting to drive. I would love a GPS that has the capability of telling you exactly when to turn etc. I have no sense of direction.
Thanks
I just bought something like that, it was about , sm
$14.00. I have 2 cats and they would just play with the mouse, so I thought I'd try something to keep it away.
I just bought it the other day and so far no sight of the mouse. Hope it keeps it away.
I bought one...sm
I just bought one this weekend for my 6yo son. He LOVED it. I made the outside only rule too and so far he has obeyed. It doesn't hurt to get "hit" with one and it seriously provided hours of fun for him.
Just bought my mom...
I just bought my mom Paula Dean's set which you can purchase at Wal-Mart. It is stainless as well.
I will take more than I bought in the first place
if they don’t cough up the $700 plus Tuesday morning and according to what (if that is the way it goes) it brings in on the court house steps, then I get % and the courts take % but not as much as mine. I can hardly wait until Show-Down at the OK Corral Tuesday morning. I just get ticked off thinking about their nerve.
Our son just got married in May and I bought
Regularly $129.00 and I paid $35.00 for it, so it is not necessary to pay a lot of money, the sales are out there. The colors were blue and gray and I wore a darker pink dress (not bright) and it worked out really well. I am a larger sized woman and the dress looked very nice in my size. I wish you the very best.
Just bought a Fleetwood PUP (sm)
and you don't want to know what we paid!! But we plan to have for years - into retirement so looking at it as investment. Have been out twice so far - we have the hard-sided bathroomm - we absolutely love it. I was concered about storage inside but very spaceous. We're on west coast so no advice on camp sites. Have fun and Happy RVing!!
My son is 10 - bought him a men's 9 today (sm)
I know the feeling! His feet are bigger than mine and the same size as his dads!
My daughter bought that for her son
and he LOVES it. He learned so much and had a lot of fun with it. I remember my three kids all watching that show and it brings back memories. I really helped my grandson with several things he kept "forgetting." Does anyone else like Bill Nye the Science Guy? My grandson loved that too and my grownup son is still crazy about it. I say more good shows like those! Bring them on!
I actually just bought a Rug Doctor
from their web site. It is the best thing ever! It does a great job on the carpets and furniture. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can try it in my minivan. We have owned the store brand ones like Bissel and Dirt Devel, but they just don't do nearly as good of a job as the Rug Doctor. Ours came with huge supply of different cleaning fluids too. I love the thing!
I bought a new car a week ago...
If anyone cares. A brand new Kia Spectra. I got a great deal on it. They gave me a $2000 rebate so that meant no down payment. And they took off an additional $500 for applying for it on the internet. I love the car and it gets around 35 mpg. So that is my good news!
what is something you have bought in the past you will NEVER
Mine is Little Critters Omega-3 Gummy Fish. Cute concept but the berry, lemon and strawberry flavoried gummies somehow manage to taste like fruity flavored fish ![Shocked](http://www.thedailyplate.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif") When I got them, my kids gagged with the first one and wouldn't even touch the second one for the recommended 2 a day. So guess who is choking down 2 of those suckers every day now?
LOL I just bought some candles SM
at the dollar store - I actually prefer them. I think because they are such cheap candles that the scent is not as strong as the nicer ones, but for me it is perfect - just enough to smell nice without being overpowering. I was just thinking I could buy 325 candles for the price of 1 of those Jo Malone candles. LOL
We just bought a new mattress - sm
It's a Sealy. Can't recall exactly which one but lower end on the price bracket. I think it was about 1000.00 for the mattress and box springs.
We had one of those air beds for a long time and I will never ever recommend one of those.
My husband also has back problems and needed a comfy mattress so he wanted that number bed thing. It was horrible. I would wake up with lower back pain that would stick with me half the day. His pain was worse too.
Not to mention the fact that his side of the bed sprung a leak so after about the first year or so, there was no adjusting it to a comfort zone. Had to pump it all the way up and by morning, it was completely flat and he was laying in a hole inside the foam frame. It was cheaply made, uncomfortable, and a HUGE rip off.
Go for a Sealy, it's worth it. I'm loving it.
No, but I bought a few things from WP
I bought a convetion oven a year ago and it puked out this past week when I wanted to broil a london broil. I was very disappointed. Up until then, I used to make cakes and whole BBQ chickens on the rotisseie which all were great, plus the baking/roasting things. I'm hoping I just did something wrong when but I'm afraid I might not have. I also have his SS pots and pans bought a year before that that are still sitting in the box because I found anoter set of pots and pans that were given as a Christma giflt, so I'm using them.
i will be making chicekn again this week rotiserries style so keep your finers crossed for me. Of course, the warranty ran out prior this happening.
You should have bought different camera. We went
