thank you Marcaster & BioMajor! glad you checked in for me :)

bizrate.com & shopzilla.com both list it as $34.99 @ target. Yet the Target site lists it as $49.99. Maybe instore it's $34?!?

I thought $4.70 for 2 ties shipped was a good deal but the CC info page is not locked/secure. The VeriSign certif page is secure but no https: or a lock in footer screen of the CC info page of the order screen

Sears repair made me wait 2 MONTHS to repair my washing machine. I did get multiple $50 Sears cards for calling to complain after each botched service call. Sears Corp was of no help, offered little satisfaction so I wrote letters & posted them across several websites. Here's a snippet I called back in April/May for a weird noise coming from the agitation cycle. A very young Sears Rep came & said all is well. On August 12th I walk in to find my washroom full of smoke. Call repair center– it will take 10 days to get Sears here. Same young Sears Rep returns & after 1 hour on his phone tells me I need a new motor. He will have to order parts. Aug 28th Sears parts box arrived to my home but it’s water filters?!?! Sears will rush ship my new motor but they cannot come out until Sept 10th to install them. On Monday Sept 10th a different Sears Rep shows at my home & says it’s not the motor, it’s the brake. Have to reorder more parts. Sears cannot return to my home to install these parts until Sept 20th. On Sept 20th 2 Sears repair reps show up & say it's not the motor or the brake, now it's the transmission. It was under the so called warranty and they gave me a $390 credit - the cost of the transmission repair and I was done. Went to buy a new one SEpt 24th & to add insult to this injury the new one didn't come until Oct 12th a full 2 MONTHS after the 1st one died.

Hug your DH for us too!!! My traditions.... Pepperoni Bread the kids love it too {DD7 DS5} 1 pkg fresh (or frozen & defrosted) pizza dough ball 1/4 lb pepperoni (sliced thin) 1/4 lb provolone cheese 8oz grated mozzarella cheese Roll out dough on a floured surface to a rectangular shape. Layer w/pepperoni & cheeses. From the long side, roll up like a jelly roll. Brush (or spray) outside w/oil. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven approx 30min. Let cool a little before cutting. A really easy appetizer to take with or make for yourself at home SUPER yummy! Kids love it too. Try w/turkey pepperoni (less oily) Kids & I make cookies Christmas Eve for Santa & leave out for him. They're not the prettiest but the kids have a grand time. Reindeer Food Recipe http://www.recipezaar.com/48773 Use tons of glitter. I make huge batches - enough for each kids' class Crack up candy canes (kids do) & sprinkle top of frosted cupcakes. Play a Chipmonks CD to get in the spirit.

I was thinking the same thing - is this the recalled one? From what I hear the recall was only that there is a missing safty guard near the light bulb. :

rats! I was *just* there on Monday (Rockaway, NJ) & I was looking for 5T jeans for DS. Were your girls or boys jeans?

I can drive fr:NJ to NC in 8hrs and the train took 11.5hrs each way w/2 kids by myself!! It was published as 9.5hrs but had delays. The more people I spoke w/on the train I found out very late is the norm on that route.

Do have "good" experiences on Amtrak NorthEast routes? Only did it once NJ to NC & OMG......
