WVD have you used your pancake puffer yet? If so, how did it turn out ? My kids would love this! and hubby too.........

I saw something called a "Handy Switch" advertised on TV recently and it's such a good idea that it might be the first time I've ever bought something from a commercial. You plug a lamp into a special adaptor, plug the adaptor into an outlet, then put a switch wherever you want (it comes with that foam sticky tape, apparently). When you turn on the switch it wirelessly turns on that adaptor, and the lamp or whatever you've got plugged into it comes on. It would perfect for a room that doesn't have an overhead light, so you don't have to stumble into the room in the dark, flailing around for the lamp. Has anyone bought this gadget? It LOOKS legit. And I'm tired of stumbling into my husband's ManCave, which he keeps dark for a better World of Warcraft experience.

I saw a commercial about pancake balls...doesn't look appetizing. Thinking about pancakes makes me sick

I saw it on the news on one of those 'does it really work' things. They turned out nice but they all stuck to the pan. They tried it again with a bunch of spray on it and they still stuck. I hope you have good luck with it.

mine turned out good. the secret is..............................................preseason the cast iron skillet!
you don't just start cooking on a cast iron anything without preseasoning it evidently those people don't do a lot of real cooking
now. thats not to say that i didn't need to still spray it well with cooking spray before I poured the batter everytime, but it didn't stick near as much as what I saw on channel's 4 trial run with it.

oh and a small piece if hershey bar dropped in the middle is absolutely wonderful! yummy!

A cast iron skillet, whats that?

Now I remember my grandmother used them to cook with.

OK, what am I doing wrong??? I FINALLY used my Debbie Meyer Green Bags for some strawberries & I don't think they worked... 5 days & they were YUCK!!!

First off you NEVER wash any berry until you're ready to serve and eat them.
Second, you don't twist tie these bags shut. You just fold them UNDER the fruit. I've had berries in the fridge for a week and they're perfect. Same with some greenbeans that I've picked.

Ditto with eggs, strangely enough.

An unwashed egg will last up to 6 months in a cool, dark place.

Yucky but true!

Jelsey - explain please! An egg? Aren't they supposed to be stored in the cool, dark refrigerator?

When we free-ranged, we kept our extra eggs in the basement (constant 56 degrees or so) for up to six months.

Had like 50 damn hens so we had to do something with the extra eggs. Everytime someone came to visit, it was like "Want some eggs? Please take some eggs".

Don't know where I read it, but yes, and UNWASHED egg will last 6 months under the proper conditions. Something about the "protective natural covering" needing to stay on. And judging by the eggs we had, a "protective natural covering" must be chicken poop!

I don't think my berries were washed (but ya never know when I leave things up to a 12 year old!)... I didn't twist tie the bag, but didn't fold it under the fruit. I'll try again... Did I mention that I am a true blonde?

... Did I mention that I am a true blonde?


So am I. Top and bottom It means nothing

Ya'll are lucky.

I've dyed my hair so many times I have to check to the carpet to see what shade the drapes should be.

Hmmmm, does the carpet ever go gray?

oh yea! sure does

Not if you replace it with hardwood or linoleum.

Ahem... Yes, it does turn gray... Altho I haven't personally experienced that - YET!

Dragon - you're a blonde??? I always use that as my excuse when my brain just shuts down!

OMG... Have you guys heard that people are actually getting some parts... eh... bleached???

Yes, but have you heard that you can get re-virgined?

Lay one hand on my little kitty with either bleach or a sewing needle and I'm gonna seriously hurt someone!

<thinking of a way to say this modestly>

You mean butt-hole bleaching?

Anybody else find it funny that the present discussion is under As seen on TV???? Bleaching or working on "the kitty", now there is an info-mercial.

Yup... That bleaching exactly...

Re-virginated??? If my memory serves me correct, it took quite a few times for me to even understand WHY people wanted to do it in the first place! I would definitely not wanna go back THERE again!!!

OMG NO!!!!!

I think she meant bleaching one's pubic hair.

But I kinda like your idea better, but might not the combination of bleach and ah, ah, body odor create a potentially flammable event?

aka - Flaming Butt Hole

Oh shit, I mean poop!

Maybe she DID mean butt-hole bleaching.

Wow!

Why?

Nope. Mod is correct... See above...

Flaming Butt Hole??? Sounds like a good name for an EX!!!

...or a president

Dunno why... Hellz no! Somebody google???

ROFLMAO!!!!

.... or a mixed drink

Betty Beauty sells special dye for the "kitty" region, or as they call it, your "betty" -- you can go all punk rock down there! http://www.bettybeauty.com/fun.php

Since this is the "as seen on TV" thread, now I'm envisioning Billy Mays gesturing wildly and getting waaaaaay too excited about the Hot Pink Betty.



Thanks for the afternoon laugh. This thread went from amusing to hilarious in record time.

I saw about the hole bleaching on one of those Dr. 90210 things or a VH1 thing about plastic surgery. There are all kinds of things you can get done down there. Why would you bleach your hole? Porn stars do it mostly, for closeups, do you understand?

No, can you explain?

Nah.

Can anyone explain it?

Is it something like having your teeth whitened?

chocolate spider???

Gross I'm not touching that subject.

On topic I bought the pedi-egg....LOVE it!

Me too! In 2 weeks it had my feet looking good! Sandal ready. And thats saying something. I got big ugly feet They are still ugly but they aren't crusty!! LMAO!

We've only used it one time so far and it was great. Going out today to buy another one, hubby used it on calluses and it worked amazing (he's a steel toe boot kinda guy). He's sold on it and now daughter wants one too. BEST INVESTMENT for a "as seen on tv" deal yet!!!!!!!!

Hubby bought me one of those nail buffer things.....use black first to file then gray to buff then white to polish......its to give your nails the polished look without polish and makes it look like you have a french manicure.....well I used it too and slapped some lotion on my feet and it looks like I just got a pedicure from a salon. WOOHOO..... and no one (except me) had to touch or look at my feet.

I tried the bleaching however, due to the amount of hair that I have I can't tell the difference. I guess I will have to get electrolysis next; that way I will be able to appreciate it better.

Electrolysis must hurt and its expensive. I have another less costly alternative for you Hagop

THE MAN GROOMER!!!!!




Let us know how it turns out no pics thought please!

Please say you're kidding! Where'd you go, Sagittarius?

2 words... Brazilian Wax!

BTW, duct tape works much better than electrolysis.... <cringes>

or maybe a Brazilian Wax? <double ouch>


edit: oops... get out of my head pandora... lol...

Sounds like a great Meet and Greet; We all could go get our holes waxed and bleached. What a bonding experience. A great way to have long lasting forum friends.

No seriously though, I am very hairy and decided to try NADS. You know, the no heat, no pain hair removal. I was laying on the bed with a towel in my mouth so I had something to bite down on. My wife was ripping the hairs out of my back. After what felt like a 1/2 hour a spot the size of a softball was bleeding badly on my back. Tears rolling down my face. I told her STOP STOP STOP; I could not take the pain any more. It was by far the worse pain I have ever felt in my life. The entire time I was yelling at her, "You must be doing something wrong, the container says no pain!!!!!" No pain my ass, it hurt just spreading the green goo on my back.

ModSquad, please move this post to the "Whining" thread.

OMG! I think I am going to pee my pants with just the visual!!! Seriously, though... Isn't that Nads stuff supposed to dissolve the hair??? Kinda like the Nair stuff???

You might be thinking about Neet, that stuff is just like Nair. Nads is gooey stuff you pull off, though I've never tried it myself.

I'm curious, hag, did she pull it really fast or slow? I thought you were supposed to do it super-fast, like a BandAid. You saw "The 40-Year-Old Virgin", didn't you?

We try every way possible. Here I even made a video.

OMG Some things are better left unposted and unseen.

This is what I was thinking of...

Keep that stuff away from me. I bet it hurts and I don't care how it works.
