When we were in Hawaii the landlady brought us a bunch of tiny bananas grown there called apple bananas. Yummy. I thought grape and cherry tomatoes were just tiny tomatoes. We tried Oust to freshen the air and I discovered that it doesn't make us sneeze like other fresheners. I am allergic to strong odors, so this is a nice change.

Cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes are not genetically altered, they are just a different variety, like Granny smith Apples, Gala, Braeburn, red delicious....

Cherry tomatoes are round and a bit bigger while grape tomatoes are more oval. It's like the difference between a beefeater's tomato and a roma tomato -- just miniaturized. Grape tomatoes (like romas) are sweeter and have fewer seeds, making them great for pasta and dinner salads.

regarding this tip: Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs. well, i'm not going to mention names, but "someone" i know (ahem) tried this tip on dark fabric. not sure if it picked up the cat hair, but it sure left a white film (from what i heard). lol

I tried the shower sprayer. I read the instructions to put it together. I hung the thing and pushed the blue button. It started making a noise like a long beep. I started to watch it and then it sprayed me in the face. I forget to finish reading the instructions where it said to close the shower curtain when you hear the beep..LOL

LOL Twiggy! I had a mishap today with a can of pledge furniture polish. Could not get the damn thing to spray for anything and kept popping the lid off and on and shaking and pushing the button. I finally got it to spray just like it was supposed when I was staring in the little hole thingie to see if it was jammed, lol.

LOL.. ok my embarrassing story - I was staying at my daughters while she had her baby. I decided to take a shower... I could not figure out how to get the shower to turn on, water was filling up in the tub so I figured I would take a bath. I was mid bath and decided to use some of the soap in the soap dispenser hanging from the shower, I pressed the button.. nothing.. pressed again..nothing.. so I sit back down irritated... then I hear a beep, next thing I know this cleaner comes flying out of what I thought was a soap dispenser. I grab for the shower curtain to hide behind and it of course falls on my head.

What a hoot! LOL THanks for sharing! I highly recommend organic bananas. They have so much more flavor than the "normal" ones. And they are still cheaper than other fruit!

No one has eaten a truly good banana unless you have been to Central America and eaten a fresh killed one right off the tree.

Target brand whitening strips are wonderful. They work really well, my teeth are noticeably whiter. Also D/Bryers Grand Light Sugar Free Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (double churned) is wonderful. Tastes like regular. I need to pick up doggy food today, my dogs LOVE Pedigree Large Breed. I finally found a bra in my size (a rare size, 34DD) at Target. It fits great, doesn't give me double bubble, doesn't dig into my skin, and minimizes me a little (much to DH's dismay)

Target had two different styles in that size so I nabbed them both up. It's hard to find a 34D let alone a DD, but maybe in todays day and age and with the bigger boobies on the smaller girls (Not that I am small) they make them in these sizes. Oh, and they aren't with the industrial gramma clasps and uber tough underwire either. They are sexy, and nice, and comfortable.

Escapee, I used to get the best bras in different DD's & DDD's (because my weight fluctuates a lot and I gain weight first in the boobies...which isn't really a bad thing...) at Dillard's. They were simple, didn't minimize, gave great support, were seamless under clothes and had gel in the straps which is SO comfortable on the shoulders. And they used to run them on sale all the time, so I'd stock up. And then, as it seems happens with all things I love, they stopped carrying them and I haven't been able to find the same bras ANYWHERE, not even mail order. Fortunately I have quite a few of them and by actually following the wash/wear instructions, they last a LONG time. But still...since I know I'll run out some day, I'm doing the trial and error thing right now. But I have had no luck in finding the same kind of support and comfort as I had with those.

The best and most comfortable bra I ever owned was made by Ralph Lauren. I'm not usually a big spender when it comes to under-things, but I usually pay for that in terms of comfort. So I spent a little extra on this one, and four years later, I still wear it at least twice a week, and I'm not ripping it off as soon as I walk in the door after work. Mind you, I'm on the opposite end of the size spectrum -- but believe me, it's just as hard to find a 32A with an "attitude" (read, sexy look) of a twenty/thirty something woman -- most bras that size are training bras for pre-pubescent girls. lol.

My favorite bras are Body by Victoria--the standard Victoria's secret bra. They are never on sale, so you have to grab the "strange" colors out of the bin at the semi-annual sale.

You guys aren't EVEN funny thinking your bra size is hard to find. Not EVEN laughing at that. 32DDD only comes in the really pricey labels. I have to choose between a bra and feeding my child sometimes. In Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills once I found quite a few to try on, but even if I could have afforded them, they didn't support anything. I came out and handed them back to the lady and told her they don't work because mine are real.

I can't even seem to get sized properly by anyone. I get conflicting sizes from store to store and what I'm told just never sits or fits right.

Emmy, that stinks. I thought I had an issue at 34DD, I never thought of being a 32 DD or less....
