Kiwi Kiwi Kiwi, there are cars on ebay for One Cent. What's the catch?

In the Kitcheny Gadgetry aisle.. Where you find the spice racks, glasses,blenders,toaster ovens...You heat seal with the thing too...here is a link to the food saver...
www.foodsaver.com

I was picking up Kiwi's slack..(She's probably off proofing other posts and developed a nervous tic over our misspellings.. :dizzy: )

Shots, do you have the Professional, Signature, Premiere, Ultimate, Advanced or one of the others?

The Essential V375.. I think it cost around $80 at Sams..which to me was alot to "invest" in yet another kitchen gadget..but we actually use it.

Hmm, I'm having a hair problem.. My hair is limp,flat,thin and I'm sporting a Marcia-doo,(from the Brady Bunch) ..and dyed too many times that the ends are looking dead black instead of brown and quite fried..Right now it's down to my boobage area..
I need a new style and some color correction I think...Maybe a shag? A loose body wave? It definitely needs to be cut.. and SOON..cuz I have a habit of taking Kitchen Shears (yet another useful kitchen gadget) and cutting my own..

Kiwi, exactly what are dangling participles and a split infinitives? Kindly use in a sentence ( in English mi Aimee).
Enquiring minds wanna know

We have Costco, Sams AND K-Mart, Target and Wal Mart within a 5 mile radius. Texans seem to spend money and complain about other people's religion (or the lack of it.) I would rather paint. Or take a nap. Or stay up late and see who's on line!!

DH hired cleaners to come tomorrow. Whoo hooo... I am going to see one little client couple and go to lunch with some ladies... then come home and do laundry so DD and DS and DS's GF have clean linens by the weekend.

Did I say take a nap?
And maybe knit.

Happy food sealing y'all... I'm happy with ziplock bags... but then.. hardly anything ever gets left over, either.

I have a food saver, but I usually use ziplock freezer bags. I buy the huge-o economy size at Costco. DH loves the food saver and uses it for freezing mass quanities of fish, which we seldom defrost and eat. He also likes to seal up his fishing gear so it will be waterproof until he uses it.

Schatzi, I have a hair problem every day. Mine's been cut, it's been colored (just some highlights) and yet it still gives me problems. I think it's biggest problem is that it's on the head of a middle aged suburbanite.

Cowper, DS has sold cars on ebay, but never bought one that way. Maybe the catch is that the one cent cars don't move. One the other hand, what have you got to lose? A penny. Although I'd definitely check out shipping charges.

Painty, congrats on the cleaning person. Everyone should have a cleaning person. Even the cleaning person.

Exactly. And by the way, snooty Kiwi translates in both directions by using Google Translations. Snooty Kiwi does not remember enough French to hail a cab. :s:

Same idea, different parent company. If there was a Costco here, maybe I would be going there instead.

Snooty Kiwi spells it "spigot". And you ought to know all about the Foodsaver, Peach, I'm always blabbing about mine. You'd love it, it takes up lots of counterspace and you have to buy their special bags. :lol: Did you look at the website?. Mine is several years old, so it's probably the same as the Essential model. Do not buy a knockoff, believe me. I had a few Sears brand canisters that were supposed to go with it, and they started leaking after a year or so.

Schatzi, re: Foodsaver, how do solve the problem of not being able to suck up liquidy things?

Wow, 500 gallons of All. Sounds like a tanker truck...

I actually don't know where Steven King lives. I think you have to be on vacation to find out... Bangor is what I facetiously call the "big city". Just so you know how Bum*k away I actually am. I have never seen Tabitha; I don't really know what she looks though, so I suppose I might have. However I have seen Steven a couple of times. Once at a girls' basketball game at UMaine. He has a skybox, and we'd been invited by some salespeople to GE's skybox which was 2 over from King's. Another time I saw him at the movie theater; he was dressed about like you describe Tabitha. Slouchy shorts, dingy t-shirt. Kinda like me. Hey what the heck, when people already think you're weird, what difference does it make?

:lol: That's hilarious! Typical guy! I occasionally use mine for something weird. I vacuum packed my Christmas linens one year -- kept them clean and it squooshed them nice and flat for storage!

No doubt the "shipping". Hey maybe that's how I should get rid of my old Saab. It's still hiding in the weeds on the edge of the yard. I could put in on ebay for a few bucks with a u-ship-it-u-got-it note.

Did you want to quickly know how to effectively split an infinitive? Asking me about dangling participles, your day was wasted. My head is starting to hurt.

Kiwi

I lost all "clenching ability" years ago and I regularily misplace my modifiers
 

We have a Wal-Mart that is even crappier than the real Wal-Marts. No one goes there. No Costco, no Sam's Club, no K-Mart. Only a Metro that is actually a wholesaler. You're supposed to have your own business - restaurant, small store etc. - to get their card. Dh has a card from work. It's not cheaper - they just like you to think it is. They have fancy stuff that you can't get anywhere else.

Went to the animal shelter again today and spied a new pooch who was immediately whisked away for a walk before we could take a good look. We'll got back again tomorrow and waffle around some more.

Which would YOU take:
1. 5 yr old dog who is sweet and well-behaved but terrified (more than the usual dog terror) of going to the vet.
2. 3 yr old dog that is cuter than do #1 but pretty bouncy and wild AND possibly cannot be left alone at home for any length of time.

I'm veering strongly in the direction of #1 , others like #2 purely for his looks.
Hmmph.

They had such adorable kitties there too! But my allergies simply won't allow a cat. There was one big bruiser there I loved - a huge tomcat called Mike. On every cage there's a note with a description of the cat, medical problems etc and if they were strays or brought to the shelter by the owner. In Mike's description it said "No other animals. No children. Attacks people." Whoah. That's one mean feline.

Take the dog who will love you. Same advice on men.

The 1 cent cars have a hidden "reserve" meaning price they will accept. What crappo.

Kiwi, am I supposed to apologize for the snooty comment or have I coined a phrase which you enjoy using.

Do Ziplock bags work as well as a Foodsaver? Be honest.

Split infinitive ... putting stuff between the "to" and the "verb." Like: To contently moo or To contently barf or To contently wrap fishing poles in plastic.

I liked yours better Cowie ;)

I went to the Babelfish translator and translated Kiwi's French. Results:

And the Spaniard is not better. Goodbye. I must dry my hair, eat the lunch, and lead to the next city in thirty minutes.

I need advice. My boss's birthday was a few weeks ago and I missed it. We have a new employee, really young, and her birthday is tomorrow. When we have birthdays, my boss has always taken everyone to lunch. That means she take two people to lunch. She always chooses and very nice restaurant. I am not so inclined to want to buy her lunch. This new girl needs to be recognized her birthday but it's confusing to think boss will buy the lunch when boss's birthday was overlooked. I was the only employee she had at the time of the birthday.

So I can take both of them to lunch.

Or what?
