It that the extension thingy used to reach the front depths of the windshield in minivans, or some sort of cloth thingy in general? My wife wants (me to get and use) the extension thingy, and it costs ~$10 in stores. Where's you see it for $1?

My favorite cure for nausea: Ginger Altoids. There a bit tricky to find; I have purchased them at World Market.

I love my Vermont Castings grill. It's 10 years old and still looks and cooks like new. All I've had to do is replace the grates at the 10 year mark and sand off a little surface rust at the corner.

I love my PlayStation 3. It's the best blu ray player I own and it has great games.

I love my Kindle. Truly amazing little piece of technology.

I am generally a fan of Consumer Reports. However, I've noticed lately that many of the reports are outdated. For instance, when I looked up gas grills, I found several on their list that aren't even sold anymore, and several newer ones that weren't reviewed. This has happened for several items I've looked for lately. That kind of bums me out. They keep pretty updated on cars, though.

I would like to recommend little Colgate Wisp disposable toothbrushes. Each little brush is sealed in it's own little packet, about 2 1/2 inches long. Small enough to take along in purse or pocket. Has a little toothpaste capsule embedded in the brush and a little curved pick on the other end. Really handy for somebody traveling or out all day with no access to a real brush at home. Very refreshing. :D

Love, Ima

I love those little toothbrushes, and I send them with Christian on his Boy Scout camping trips.

I second your endorsement!

I have been very pleased with the Weber Q-120 portable gas grill that I purchased last month. Since I have a limited amount of space on my porch, this grill is ideal for me. It's portable enough that one could take it on a camping trip.

I really like these sour fruity licorice thingies, which seem only to be available at Walgreen's around here. Incidentally, every Walgreen's I've ever been in has had a top-notch candy section overall.
I love candy.

Walgreens, that longstanding giant among drugstores, understands the value of candy as a medicinal item to cure all sorts of maladies! :happy-bouncyblue:

A very pleasant means of repelling mosquitoes in an outdoor area.
http://www.gardenwarehouse.net/Catalog/ ... o/NM50.asp
A couple of years ago, a family member owned a small local hardware store here in town. When they decided to drop the competition they had were having with the 'big box' stores, they had their going out of business sale. I attended. A old schoolmate was there at the time I was and she was crying the slobberin' blues to Charles (the owner) about how she was going to find these things from now on. I was unfamiliar with them and she introduced me to them by way of allowing me to buy one package, while she bought the other last 6. After giving them a test, I had to go online to find more because I went through the only pack I had quite rapidly.

A mosquito isn't the only thing that makes itself missing. Many other little multi-legged creatures seem to dissappear also. Cheif amongst these missing insects are those that populate my backyard, enamored with malt beverages as much as I am.

I suggest that should you take the plunge and accquire some of these things...buy in bulk quantities. :-BD

If you really love these, I think they're cheaper on Amazon if you order more than one package. If you order one, it's like $.50 cheaper to order from the website you showed. However, the shipping only goes up by a few cents with each extra one on Amazon, and the item price is like $3 cheaper, so if you order two or three or more, it quickly becomes cheaper on Amazon.

Comfort Clean FLOSS PICKS !

Flossing made easy for Tight Teeth and Sensitive Gums! I keep and take Floss Picks everywhere! I buy 2 or 3 packs at a time. Keep in the car, pocketbook, makeup bag, in my pocket. I cant stand to see someone with a piece of food, on their front teeth. Maybe I am more aware, with 4 years of braces/retainer.

I love Floss Picks! :D :D :D :D
