FIFTEEN BUCKS?? Ludicrous. Just checked the website... that's up to purchases of $155 though... so see, there ya go, just order a bunch of boxes and the shipping won't seem so bad! And if you have any extra... uh.... :D

Well pooh! I hadn't checked for a while, but it had been like $6 or $7 in the past. Maybe they think people will buy more than one box so that heavy shipping for 6 boxes doesn't feel as nasty as it is for one box. :)

:D Well now that *does* seem like a good way to keep those nasty germs away!! I found out a few days ago that the first local case showed up now... hopefully they have it contained/quarantined.

Ouch for any vehicles that are outside when golf ball sized hail is falling! I've seen hail in my lifetime but never that big.

That's a good bottom line for all this, I think. I have witnessed some pretty horrid health problems in friends when they thought they were doing something good by cutting out [fill in the culprit food group] completely.

I learned yesterday that all wasabi is NOT the same. I picked up a pack of sushi at the supermarket instead of the restaurant stuff I usually get... and that packet of wasabi in there was *wicked!* :)

From the wee bit of experience I've had with them and have heard about, that's a very good phrase indeed!

You're not kidding here... I've seen newspapers from eras past and it's unbelievable the things they were able to get away with... the labels.

That's how it is for me when I try to play YouTube... the buffering drives me totally batty.

Yeah, it truly stinks. I probably would have eventually tried some for my daughter, too... I'm not even sure I want to keep using the OTC stuff I do already have.

My goodness! Did your home suffer any damage from that storm or any of the storms around there recently?

I've always loved cooking... it's just that it got "too easy" over the last few years. My biggest bugaboo is side dishes. When I make homemade stuffing or fried potatoes or mac and cheese, it's soooo much better than processed but takes an hour vs. 15 minutes. I just have to free up more...

Well now doesn't that sound like a lot of fun?! It's been forever since I've been to a "real" movie. Any idea on what you want to see?

Unfortunately the same has happened to me over the last few years. Things I used to make from scratch suddenly became much easier to just buy pre-packaged in all their processed glory. :( So yeah, I'm working on that one, too.

Good point... and yes, I heard this. More and more medications, whether "natural" or not, have been causing all kinds of horrid problems. Just because something is deemed "safe" doesn't mean that its real effects won't be found ten years from now. Scary stuff. :(
