I need a copy of Madonna's "Santa Baby" for a Xmas movie I'm making for the family. Does anyone have an .mp3 they're willing to email me? I don't want to close Photoshop, Vegas, etc. to start a download for only one song...

Please and thanks?

Costco has an excellent meat selection! For the most part it's the only place I buy mean (once in awhile I'll pick something up at Vons if I'm in a hurry.)

We do also split sometimes with family. Fresh fruits and veggies especially because with just the four of us we usually wouldn't eat enough before it goes bad so that works out good.

I buy my gas at Costco - it's usually much cheaper than even the discount stations!

I used to go to Costco in Orlando but there isn't one up here. Only a BJ's, which is just like the others except they don't carry cheap brands that I can get other places cheaper than the name brands at BJ's. Plus, I can't say the name of the place without laughing. LOL

LOL, yeah I just love that mean from Costco! The gas is a good price, except that our Costco is across town so unless we happen to be there when we need gas, we don't usually get it there.

Our Costco doesn't sell gas, and if they started I'd have to figure if it was worth the membership or not. I don't really drive that many miles and I already gt the cheapest cash price around.

Costa, speaking of off hours and traffic.. when I did have one of the cards from a friend's business (this was still Price Club) it was a type of membership that allowed you to come in an hour early to shop. I can see that being really a good thing for some people. LOL Sort of like Magic Mornings at Disneyland.

They still open an hour early for business members. The first few years we were members, we went through Darren's familys vending machine company membership because he did some work for them and some shopping. I don't really remember us taking advantage of that much, except around Christmas when it gets pretty crowded there, but I also don't miss it all that much now that we have a regular membership.

I love me some Costco. I don't go to Wal-Mart and have never seen a Sam's Club nearby, so can't compare. But Costco is my vice. :-)

They built a new one a couple years ago very close to me and I love it. They have gas and that's the only place I fill my car up now. I have a business membership with the associated Amex card and get money back on every purchase. Recently, Amex has been giving an instant 5% rebate on every gas purchase at Costco in addition to the annual rebate amount. Nice.

I have no family nearby, either, but I buy lots of things in bulk, particular stuff like paper towels and toilet paper and such. It's cheaper and I don't have to buy it very frequently. I have a storage space in my garage where I stack it up.

I also buy cereal and my favorite Ciba pesto (which I sometimes use in place of butter -- yummy garlic, basil and olive oil!). I also buy the individually-packaged boneless, skinless chicken breasts and toss them in my freezer. Perfect for a single gal!

I have a Foodsaver vacuum packaging set (purchased at Costco years ago) that I use to package up some of the bulk stuff. I have canisters for it and I buy coffee in bulk and store it in the vacuum-packed canisters.

I recently found a local gal who has a new product that's perfect for me and my Coscto love. It's called FoodCuber. They are trays roughly the same size as an ice cube tray, but the compartments are bigger and measure exactly 1/2, 1, or 2 cups. Each compartment also has a line that's halfway up, so you can freeze 1/4, 1/2, or 1 cup if you just fill to that line. Now I can buy things like spaghetti sauce or whatever in bulk at Costco, use the trays to freeze individual portion sizes, then use my Foodsaver to vacuum seal them. Need a quick meal for one? No problemo! Just pop a sealed item into the microwave or a pot of boiling water and viola! :-)

BTW, the gal who invented the FoodCuber is in discussions with QVC and is also auditioning for Oprah's Next Big Thing promotion that's going on. I hope she does well. I think it's a very practical idea.

Anyway, I digress. But I do love me some Costco. Heck, I just bought a 47" LCD flat panel 1080i HDTV there, too! :-) :-) :-)

I will add (just to muddy the waters! LOL) I did like the clothes from Sams. I bought many an outfit for my family there. I haven't checked out Costco.

That FoodCuber thing sounds neat, Max. Except... I already measure out and freeze portions. And I just measure and freeze 'em in the bags for my food saver (I buy the rolls, so I can cut to fit as needed).

Since I boycott Walmart (and by default, Sam's Club), I'll stick to Costco. They do sell gas, but I now fill up my car so infrequently (once every six weeks) that it's not worth it to me to drive the five miles to gas up there.

Tex, I don't often buy clothes at Costco, but they do have good prices. And, apparently, especially basics like men's underwear and t-shirts, and socks (which are their staples). They have seasonal clothing items, too, and they are usually a good price. I think men's board shorts over the summer were around $10. And a friend of mine used to swear by their towels.

It looks very similar to Times New Roman, italic. Is this Windows or Mac?

It is book antiqua in italics or it is palatino in italics. They are both so similar.

I think it is Book Antiqua because of the difference in thickness in the commas.

I think it's Palatino Italic on the Mac. Look at the "O" in "CO". The "O" is more upright in Palatino, and slightly tilted in Book Antiqua.

I think my request the first time got lost in Costco discussions...

I really need a copy of Madonna's "Santa Baby". I looked on the torrents after getting no response here, but to no avail. Does anyone have an mp3 they'd be willing to email me? TIA.

Hugely appreciated if possible!!

No thanks, Twinkie. I looked for it on the torrents and didn't find it there. I used to have Limewire but ten mislabelled or corrupt songs and one virus later, I'm done, sorry.

It doesn't really matter, I guess. I'll just find a different song to use in the movie. I just thought it'd be the perfect soundtrack for the Xmas morning portion as we're opening gifts, but no matter. It's proven to be much harder to get the song than I thought it would be. Thanks anyways.

Karen, I just Googled the following: "Santa Baby mp3" +Madonna

I came up with all kinds of hits with that search. Of course, maybe you already did that too, and none of the hits were valid?
