Moondance | Thursday, November 22, 2001 - 05:39 pm     LOL Car!... I just saw the same commercial and came to post... so yes it is at K-mart and this would be one great invention if it works!!! |
Mssilhouette | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 10:40 am     Okay I have finally seen that Zapper you all are talking about AND I managed to catch the website address. (Because I'm lazy and don't wanna go to Kmart) http://www.tele-zapper.com the site lists a bunch of places it can be bought..here's the text from the site: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you. Thank you. Thank you...to the people who just invented an easy way to get rid of annoying telemarketers once and for all! These callers drive you crazy—wheedling, pleading, threatening, and putting you in an embarrassing spot when you hang up on them. The TeleZapper hooks up to your phone in less than a minute. After that, every time a telemarketer calls the TeleZapper sends out a special tone that tells auto-dialers your number is disconnected. It traps telemarketers by their own technology! If you screen your calls with Caller ID and answering machines, it just puts your number back in line for a future call. With TeleZapper the calls won’t come back, and eventually your number is erased from calling lists forever. It doesn’t interfere with normal phones, works with answering machines, Voice Mail, Caller ID, even call waiting. No hidden charges or monthly fees—just $49.95 and your evenings are peaceful once again! TeleZapper comes with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hey with a 30 day guarantee you're all set!!! Someone get one so we can know if it works! |

Car54 | Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 12:43 pm     Hey Grooch! the Steam X Press is on sale on AOL-members get 25% off- it is 59.95- is that the thing you wanted? |
Carolinakisses | Tuesday, December 04, 2001 - 06:25 am     I have a a food dehydrator and use it alot in the summer months. If you have limited space in the freezer or cabinets it's great for dehydrating apples and garden vegetables. Just add a little water and the fruit/veg will come to "life" when you cook them. Also great for dehydrating roses and other flowers you want to preserve for arrangements, etc. |
Mssilhouette | Tuesday, December 04, 2001 - 10:47 am     Here's the right site for the TeleZapper. You can purchase it here. http://www.telezapper.com/ I think they decided to make a more professional looking site. -----------Site Text--------- Hooks up to your phone in less than a minute Works great with answering machines, Call Waiting and Caller ID Won't interfere with normal telephone calls Just one TeleZapper covers every phone on one line No monthly charges! Just a one-time cost of $49.95 It's Risk Free – with a 30-day in home trial you've got nothing to lose |
Wink | Tuesday, December 04, 2001 - 05:34 pm     Thanks Carolina. |
Crazydog | Thursday, December 06, 2001 - 01:16 pm     I remembered I posted something somewhere about this item but I can't find it again.... it's not really on TV but it's in the Skymall catalog, where you "shop while in the air". The Shiitake mushroom log. Looks like a log, apparently it has mushroom seeds or spores on it, you are supposed to put it in a pan of water and in a dark place and it grows its own mushrooms continuously. If anyone knows what I am talking about and can comment, please do, I am thinking about getting this for my mother since she loves shiitake mushrooms and is into the whole "homegrown" thing (she makes her own yogurt - yuck). |
Sunshinemiss | Thursday, December 06, 2001 - 07:59 pm     I have a semi-silly question that I have wondered about for years now and this seems the perfect arena to get an answer... I watch the yearly commercials for the Chia-this and Chia-that, and wondered, are these supposed to be edible (the shoots I mean, obviously, not the heads)- they never say so, specifically, on the commercial, as to whether or not they can be used as sprouts, or are just something (questionably) entertaining to watch? Anyone? |
Sunshinemiss | Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 12:56 pm     No Ch-ch-ch-chia buyers out there? |
Mssilhouette | Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 01:14 pm     Where's your answer Sunshine...Direct from the Chia website's FAQ. http://209.35.234.162/chiapet/flash_intro.htm Watch the flash intro..LOL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Q: Are Chia sprouts edible? A: Joseph Enterprises has never sought FDA approval for Chia Pets and Chia Heads, and therefore cannot promote them as a food product. Chia seeds are sold in health food stores, however, and many organic gardens harvest them for salads and sandwiches. Joseph Enterprises' Chia seeds are not treated with any chemicals or fertilizers. Q: What are Chia seeds? A: "Chia" is the common name for salvia columbariae, a member of the watercress family. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
Urgrace | Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 01:44 pm     Has anyone seen the new Sears commercials. There is one where the guy stops to help the damsel in distress and brings out his craftsman tools to work under her hood and she is checking out his jeans while he works! OH yeah! I told my hubby he is getting craftsman tools and jeans for Christmas! |
Moondance | Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 02:03 pm     Yes and she gets a pair of jeans for her husband and says...'Go put them on' Cute commercial |
Mssilhouette | Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 02:33 pm     No no moon She looks at her hubby after giving him the gift smiling and a glazed far away look and says "Go put them on!" He says "Now" She rapidly nods. The other Sears one I saw last night, invovled a wife and hubby getting ready for a party. She's wearing a little black dress with a spaghtti straps and soft scoop neck. She's wearing his gift of a diamond heart shaped pendant. There's a Sears checklist that gets checked Next scene is at the party (looks like a work party) The wife is SURROUNDED by guys and they're all taller than she is and they are looking down at her (down her dress is implied) saying "Wow that's a great necklace." The other guys chime in "yeah" She's smiling and flattered turning from one guy to the next saying "Oh thank you, my husband got it for me." The camera pans up a bit and over this tall guy's shoulder and in the background you can see her hubby looking ...well ahhh helpless and amazed. The next scene is the couple in their bedroom mirror (next day) and this time she has on a black turtleneck sweater. Shot of Sears checklist being checked. The hubby is saying "OH yeah that looks great!!" I saw it and almost fell out laughing. |
Moondance | Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 02:47 pm     I thought that is what I said Mssilhouette *shrugs* |
Braveheart61901 | Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 05:38 pm     MsSilouette: You had a November post asking about Epil-stop. I have a three word answer for you..... FUGGGET ABOUT IT! Not only did it sting and leave me red for two days, it didn't work. Also, NADS.... big waste of money! |
Urgrace | Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 08:10 pm     Daarn! I just got some of that Epil-stop and haven't even gotten it out of the box yet! They didn't get me to buy the video and pay the twenty something shipping and handling for the 'free' robe, though. |
Sunshinemiss | Tuesday, December 11, 2001 - 10:04 pm     Thanks Missil, appreciate the info on the Chia. I fear I may get one for Xmas, my son loves the commercials. I use Nads... notice I did NOT say I LIKE Nads. It does, however, work. You need an extra hand to both pull the skin taut and then rip it off, so it helps if you have an assisstant (make it a girls night with a bottle of wine and a lot of commiseration).. it is definitely preferable to waxing, no burns but it is very sticky and yes, painful. I bought mine last winter and have used it only 3 times, I usually end up with the old faithful razor. |
Carolinakisses | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 07:58 am     Thanks Braveheart and Sunshine for the info on NADS. I've wanted to buy the product for the longest time, but just kept putting it off. Now I know to save my $ on something else. Did anyone see the commerical shown around Thanksgiving week where the wife was writing out the Xmas cards, the husband was putting them in the envelope, and the little girl was holding them for the dog to lick the it shut? I thought it was so cute. |
Mssilhouette | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 11:56 am     Aww Moons that was what you said...I was just being silly. ~~~~~~~ I still have TWO count em TWO jars of NADS. I did that first test on my arm...OUCH! but I noticed that even several months later some of the hair has not grown back like it once was. Most of it is back though. Thanks for the Epil-stop information....it sounds like you have sensitive skin. I might try it just to see how my skin reacts to it. Heck it can be any worse than NAIR. |
Braveheart61901 | Wednesday, December 12, 2001 - 10:08 pm     Mssil: I do have sensitive skin, but I'm sticking with waxing. I never (knock on wood) turn red after waxing. (Maybe 10 mins., max.) Urgrace, glad you saved your money on the robe! I didn't and let me tell you, the $80 robe was a piece of sh*t. I couldn't believe it. The terry cloth material was so thin you could almost see through it. I ended up giving it to my sister who used it as a drop cloth, lol! |
Discoinferno | Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 10:34 pm     There was a thread on the consumer newsgroup I read about the telezapper... someone there said you could download the disconnected number tone, have it added to the beginning of your voicemail and it would work just the same as the telezapper.... If anyone wants, I'll look up the webpage. |
Urgrace | Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 12:41 am     Has anyone tried the Northland 100% juices? It seems strange to me, but all the stores around here carry several different flavors mixed with cranberry - like peach cranberry, apple cranberry, or just cranberry - and when I was visiting in Michigan I saw flavors with no cranberry, like apple raspberry. Are our tastebuds so different that we can't have raspberry here?  |
Discoinferno | Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 02:50 pm     Speaking of Juice, does anyone remember that annoying as heck blonde girl from the Welch's grape juice ads? |
Babyruth | Tuesday, December 18, 2001 - 08:11 pm     Urgrace, I've seen more than a few posts mentioning your visits to Michigan (even Ann Arbor). When are you coming here next????? huh? huh? |
