I have used mayo for years per my mom's instructions as well. I recently tried a tiny bit of milk and it worked just as well. Would milk clog the pores?

I have been a huge fan of Michael Eastman and his photos are the best photographs of horses I have ever seen. He also helped when I reached out to him to try and ban sending american horses to be eaten for their horse meat in japan and europe. He loves his subject. I wish I could afford one of his large pieces but his book of his horse shots will have to do for now.

I joined greendimes in october and my understanding besides contacting companies to keep you off the mailing lists, you can put in catalogs. I have over 50 at current count between two adults and previous owners. It's astounding to think you get over 50 catalogs you don't want. I hope I understand the site because I stopped calling them once i joined them.

I was also told by one of the customer service people from a catalog i had called repeatedly, that every time you order from them it generates a fresh catalog, which I didn't know.
If you order on the phone tell them not to send a catalog from that purchase.

I wrote a question about this earlier I bought one from them online and it was SOOOOO loud, my 7 year old ran screaming to the kitchen to complain and she is hardly the quiet type.
I couldn't believe how loud it was.

I sent it back to make sure it wasn't just a defective model, which is what I'm hoping for. As someone with alleriges and mild germphobia I am there target market and really wanted to love it.

But after two calls to customer service, their "'warehouse is backed up" so two weeks later I still don't have a vacuum or an answer.

I would say it's pricy, loud and so far not very good customer service in place if there's an issue with your 499
PLUS purchase!

I love the concept but I wish I had bought the dyson and could have a clean house right now!

They are supposed to start selling them at bed bath and best buy soon, so maybe if people wait and get it there it would be easier to return if they don't like it.

Hope this is helpful for those contemplating buying this.

A great way to absorb odors in the fridge is put coffee beans on a small dish and leave it there a few days. I also do this in my car a small amount of beans in a brown paper bag.
I think I read this from Martha years ago, and it works.

This is very timely for me. I came home from my honeymoon last month to my santa monica home buglarized. They got all my jewerly as they broke open our safe. They got laptops, cameras, and all the drawers were open and upended. The forsenics team had been very thorough trying to get prints, but what you never see on CSI is that this leaves gray powder on EVERYTHING, every surface, carpet, floors, etc. I'm still trying to get it off of things.

The cops said a Dog is the best protection, an alarm, which we didn't have, and though we had stopped our papers and mail some wedding gifts were on the steps for a day or two before my person brought them in. A house sitter may not have prevented it as they hit a few houses in our area and some were during the day when they were only gone for an hour and left a window open and the alarm off.

The safe we bought at staples for 300, turned out to be useless, it was crow barred open so don't assume that will protect your things.

Now with my things gone, I wish I had photographed my stuff, and jewelry. So would advise to do that and get excellent home or renters insurance.

The creepy feeling from the invasion has not gone away.

Hey Alex,

Lost internet yesterday, thanks time warner! You are so on the money with kelly w! I do like her style a lot. I will check those sites and ideas.
Glad you liked the pattern I may just do that one, I just wanted to have a thorough check before I made that committment, plus the price just jumped 15% two weeks ago.

Thanks so much!

HI,

I posted this late a week ago, but never got a response... so sorry for reposting but still need help.

Any ideas of sites of cool china besides the usual suspects of
bloomies, macy's C and B, etc. I'm registering and looking for good sites for modern fine china. Also, I have already looked at micheal c. fina. Trying to find off the beaten path that I know at readers will clue me into!

Thanks,

stacey

Just got our Roomba last week, the kids find it very spellbinding and our friends get a big kick out of it. I'm just happy to have it work it's magic in the kitchen. I wish it was a little quieter.
