I recommend biting of more than you can chew. :D I recommend biscuits and gravy. DishNetwork sucks. I got my Direct TV back.

I know I had this convo with someone here before but I will say again that Listerine is great for lots of things. If you have a pimple, coldsore, splinter, glass, whatever, put Listerine on a cotton swab and tape it to the effected area for a few hours. You'll be amazed. Overnight is best. Pimple gone or splinter to the surface.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good breadmaker? My 10 year old Sanyo bit the biscuit. I purchased a Toastmaster that was a piece of junk. PS I wish I had known about the Windex before I washed and dried my dhs pants with the big grease stain.

I bought the Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic Shower Clearer about a month ago. I only bought one to see if I liked it. I do. So I bought a second one this weekend for the other shower. Plus the first one I bought had a 5.00 coupon inside. I got 5.00 off the second I bought.

Sherbabe, try superpages dot com...there are a few others but I don't remember being out of the work force now. If it's a business, just use the address as most businesses have several lines and the one you have may not show up. If it's a private residence, use the "Personal Pages" or try "Reverse Lookup". Play around with it and good luck!

I love the Swiffer Wet Mopping Cloths and use them in the same way that some of you use Windex. Besides cleaning lineoleum floors like magic (I never use the mop, though, I do the cleaning on my hands and knees because I do a better job), it cleans marks off walls without leaving a spot; zips stains from rugs; works miracles as a laundry stain remover; cleans and shines everything in the bathroom; removed a stain from a leather chair without ruining the leather; and even cleaned up the dingy vinyl siding on the front of the house we rent--and made it look much more presentable. I love this product! Good to know about Listerine and hydrogen peroxide, though! Never knew that!

Swiffer dry cloths are great to first pick up the surface dirt, dust, hair on your floors and then its time for the wet cloths. Good product!!! Easy to use!!!

SELF TREATMENT FOR MENSTRUAL CRAMPS Medications The main treatment for menstrual cramps are a class of drugs called Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs for short. These are drugs every woman knows: ibuprofen (Motrin) or Naproxen (Aleve). They work by stopping the body from making prostagladins. They also work by preventing blood clotting. They are not aspirin-related. So allergies or reactions to aspirin don't matter. They are safe for girls too. In spite of their pain-relieving properties, they are not narcotic. So, there is absolutely no reason to avoid them for women who don't want to be drowsy or have their thinking ability affected. They are not addicting either. NSAIDs should be avoided if there are any kind of bleeding problems including stomach ulcers. They are a bit irritating to any woman's stomach, and should be taken with food.

My Sister was up on vacation last month. I haven't had cramps myself in 3 decades BUT yanked my hips out of whack (crawling in & out of my Brother's king cab TALL truck from hell!). I could hardly walk for 3 days! When Sis shared her bottle, she happened to mention that all our nieces (there are about 7 nieces in Phx) swore! by the Aleve gell type capsules for their cramps. Curiously, I had never heard of it other than advertisements (that I don't typically believe, frankly). The Aleve surprisingly worked great on my hips and quite quickly; not as harsh on the stomach as my regular ibuprophen. Kind of pricey I noticed when I bought her a replacement, but later I saw Aleve was a lot cheaper at Sam's Club than the regular pharmacy. GL! Bisc

Aleve works for my migraines. I've been on prescription meds for them and nothing worked. The Aleve doesn't mask the pain, but it gets rid of the headache or relieves it about 90 percent of the time. I also take something for something for an upset stomach at the same time. I carry Aleve with me everywhere. (in my purse)

HP is right. I highly recommend My Big Fat Greek Wedding. BTW, my camps have left the building for now. I do take pain killers but I was looking for more of something for an immediate fix.. Especially since my heating pad died.

Sherbabe, *Net Sleuth* may be what you are looking for. I use it all the time since I don't have caller ID.

Aleve or Midol gets rid of my cramps within 15 minutes - very fast!

DH swears by Aleve for migraines. It is not approved for retail in Canada, so we always get our friends visiting the US to bring some home for us.

I hate Dish Network. It's a POS. So glad we moved to where we can have regular cable. Even though it cost more, it's worth it to actually be able to watch TV.

I have to argue the other side for Dish Network. I have had it for almost 3 months now. There is no cable service out here where we built. I was concerned at first going from cable to satellite. But the transition has been great. And the dual tuner DVRs are incredible! I love them. Same goes for high speed internet. I went from cable to DSL. My cable would go down several times a week. Not once have I lost DSL service.

Thanks, HP and Saxy. I'll have to take your advice and rent that movie. I have heard it's very funny.

I highly recommend Connie and Carla as well. It has the same actress as My Big Fat Greek Wedding. She actually wrote Connie and Carla too.

Saxy, I recommend ORUDIS for cramps (and tension headaches). It is Ketoprophen, and is wonderful. I can't find it where I live now, but I certainly would stock up if I see it somewhere.
