Say, I am trying to find the spreadsheet that Whoami, I think, put together with all the premier dates, but I can't remember where I saw it. Does anyone know?

Anyone know what "White Syrup" is? It is in a recipe (for a cake/cookie type dessert.)

It's corn syrup, basically liquid sugar. You might be able to substitute sugar instead, I'll see if I can find anything on quantities...

If you want to substitute sugar, it looks like you use 2/3rds of the syrup amount and you'll need to up one of the other liquids in the recipe or add a little water to maintain consistency.

How good are you all at finding people? I have a Grandfather I have never met. I would like to know more about him and my Grandmother (they were divorced somewhere around 40 years ago and she is now dead) and that side of my family. He lives in Naples or Sandpoint Idaho.

Have you tried anything yourself yet, Escapee? And is that Naples, Florida? Do you have any idea what he does for a living?

How long is baking soda supposed to last in the frig? I am replacing my box, it has been at least a year LOL, and there is a place on the box to indicate the replacement date but I don't know what to put there. Is it 6 months, or 3 months??

I just purchased a box of generic and the expiration date is 2/09. Guess it depends on how many odors it has to absorb. Don't throw it away. Pour it down your drains to freshen them.

thanks retired, I just decided that I would put the end of the year. I didn't think to check the expiration date of the box, I will check that as well.

Don't remember how long its been there, but just changed mine too a couple of weeks ago. Makes a big difference, eh? I keep one in the fridge and one in the freezer too.

Ok, I need some help before I rip out my hair. I purchased from Ross a beautiful bed in a bag set made by Wamsutta. It is called Organza Flowers. Very different. I love it. It is black with embroidered and organza flowers on it. Almost oriental looking. I was even lucky enough to find on Ebay 1 matching valance. My problem is the valance isn't big enough, I need at least two more and some black rod pocket tie back curtains and I can't find it anywhere online. Help!

Escapee, I looked all over the internet for that (I can't believe Wamsutta doesn't have their own website!) pattern, and came up empty too. It might be because the pattern is discontinued, that you're having problems finding it. Also, taken into consideration you got it at Ross, there's a better than zero chance it's a discontinued item. I would say keep trying Ebay...that'll probably be your best bet. Or maybe take a look at your local Bed Bath & Beyond or Linens n Things, and maybe you'll catch them on clearance, if they were recently discontinued. Sorry I can't help better than that. Good luck!

Have you tried TJ Maxx? They often have the same stuff as Ross. Or would Ross check if any other Rosses have it?

Is there any way for you to find out where else Wamsutta sells their brand?

Or what about buying neutral or black valances and using the fabric from the valance you purchased to enhance those? Like cutting pieces from it and using the iron-on stuff (Wonder Under?) to adhere it and making your own?

That sound like a viable option, Just.

My dh and I received a wedding invitation in the mail today. We have known this 24 yr old young man all of his life, but have lost touch as he has "grown-up". We have met his fiancee a couple of times. First marriage for both, but they have been living together for about 3 yrs. I have no problem with that (as long as it's not my child)! Just kidding...kind of. My question is, besides money or a gift card, does anyone have ideas for a wedding present? Since they probably have their "own stuff" and we don't know their "style or decor", what would be an appropriate and nice (but not expensive) gift? Maybe in the $30-$40 range. I know that sounds cheap, but I just bought 8 birthday cards for nieces, nephews and DH...now I have to get 8 birthday gifts in the next 3 weeks. Ouch! I know most of his family and they would just say, "OH, they don't need anything". Believe me, that's what they would say! They are getting married on DH's birthday and DH is actually excited to go. I almost fainted! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would like to take the gift to the wedding reception.
