Literally my heart is beating faster after reading this story. My GE Refrigerator is giving me such fits right now and it is such a pleasure to see this Liebherr brand that looks like they at least CARE about refrigeration. And that Blue Star.........sigh.
I currently have an older Dacor vent that comes out of the counter and it sucks the flame into it...this one looks better.....

I've always been a JCP shopper. I love the rebranding in the stores....I think it started a few years ago with the "store in a store" American Living sections. Go there!

I was JUST at IKEA and bought another dozen. They are PERFECT for napkins. I OFTEN use dish towels or dish washcloths as napkins. They are soft, absorbant, and wash well.

I've only ordered from Sbx once.....and I did it wrong. I felt like the first day of Junior High in a new school in there!
I make coffee at home, with local roasted beans, with a little bit of home-made hot cocoa mix and some "table cream".
And nobody yells at me for doing it wrong!

Is there a place online to BUY really good garlic? The bulbs in my stores are all sprouted or they are dry. I HATE getting a garlic that is all GREEN inside.
