I'm making stuffed mushrooms this year. We have had a New Year's eve party for 15 years now. Works good with kids. Everyone else brings their kids, we all eat, drink, and be merry! Best part is, we don't have to drive.
I didn't have the codes when I signed up and 2 days later I sent XM a reply to their "Welcome" e-mail and they are crediting my account for the free activation. Not bad customer service!

The ones at Wal-Mart are not the underarmour name brand. That's all that I will buy, my boys don't complain too much. I can't see paying for the more expensive ones for under clothes.
Second, it really bugs me to hear about WM running the little guy out. If they do, it's because the little guy thinks they can continue doing business the way they have forever. I agree with this! Mom and Pop business have been overcharging us for years! I don't agree with any company using child labor or running business out because the won't lower their prices to keep selling to Wal-Mart but a lot of other companies use these products from foreign manufacturer's but because they charge a lot more for them people believe it's alright? WTF?
I bought my MIL the 07 model which supposedly is the older model. For $400.00 it really doesn't seem worth it. I have a Windsor that normally runs $800.00, (it's industrial strength!) that I got a really good deal on and I just love it. The Dyson just seems cheaply built. Oh, I should mention though that my MIL loves her's. I guess the Windsor just has me spoiled. See if you can try it out in a store and see if you really would like the way it handles.
