Is the lamp with the turquoise shade the one that is Thomas O'Brian? Any hints on where it can be purchased? A google search didn't find anything for me. I am looking for a few hits of turquoise/teal for my brown and red living room and that shade would fit the bill nicely.

I'd be careful about the hay and alfalfa you buy. Some are treated with preservatives to prevent molding.

yes please... the movers messed up mine and I'm heartbroken

Diet makes a huge difference in the stink factor when it comes to feces. Ours get a bio-appropriate diet (ie, raw bits) and their sh*t don't stink. We use pine pellets, clean out the box every night, and scrub it out periodically to make sure it doesn't smell. I wouldn't want to use the toilet in a rank bathroom and I don't expect them to either.

They have some of the worst customer service I've ever encountered. After my last experience I've decided not to mail order anything from them ever again.

I had ordered panettone baking forms for my annual Christmas baked gift basket I give out to close friends and family. I also ordered a few other things to make the shipping worthwhile (their shipping fees can be pretty steep). They shipped everything but the baking forms, citing them out of stock on the order form. They neglected to inform me of this by email before the order shipped. When I checked online, the baking forms were in stock. When I called I was told they were out of stock when the order was shipped and it isn't their policy to put things on back order. I was welcome to replace the order and pay more for shipping then the baking forms themselves.

I can understand not wanting to backorder items since they have to eat the postage. What I can't understand is how they think it's ok not to inform you of something missing in your order before it ships. It seems like if you can run an online website, you could do this fairly easily.

Love their products, hate their customer service!

very nice

If it has any sort of "smoke" flavoring I'd avoid it like the plague. I have a friend who will eat the most vile stuff imaginable, but she works in a toxicology lab and you know what she and her junk food eating co-workers call smoke flavoring? "Liquid cancer". Appetizing, no? I'll take my carcinogens on a real piece of bacon if I'm going to go for it. This sort of stuff reminds me of replacing butter with hydrogenated soybean oil (margarine) because it's more "healthy". Missing the forest for the trees.
