That was very nice of them. I guess they didn't realize that they could ahve returned it to amazon up until January 31 for a full refund even though it was a gift. -

That link changes hourly, so the list wouldn't help much. If you go to the amazon kindle discussion forum, a reader named Happy REader Joyce posts a link to every day's new listings. YEsterday there were over 300 new books and it averages that every day. I signed up for a website ereaderiq.com. It send me an email every day with the days new free listings. -
Our Kmart is still 75% off. I bought my tree today. I've been looking for one a few years, but never hit the right time. I called and they said they had about a dozen trees left. I bought the most expensive one. It's a Jaclyn Smith 7.5 foot Sherman Pine with clear lights and a rotating stand. I am so excited. No more Charlie Brown real trees. I will go to pick it up Friday, didn't hve time yesterday. If they have marked theirs to 90 when I get there, I will just return it and rebuy at lower price.

Shopko is 80% off . THey still had tons. I bought a lot of metallic wrapping paper and boxes. Using the metallic this year ruined me. I will never use cheap paper again. My sister bought the foil wrapped chocolates to freeze.

I very seldom buy from there, but bought the Schwimm pink cruiser bike for myself on black friday. THey had 50% extra on all clearance and I bought tons of nice toys for xmas. My biggest complaint is the unfriendly help. Last year an employee was yelling at a little girl who was obviously her granddaughter. THe grandma kept screaming at her to shut up. I told her she was out of line doing that in a store. I don't believe in yelling at children anyway for crying. A child can't help themselves from crying. SHe chased me down in the store and yelled at me and told me to butt out and see how I acted when I had to raise my grandkids someday. I told her I had 3 and would never treat them like that. I just got out my phone in front of her and dialed the store number and asked to speak to her boss. A few minutes later I heard them page her . I don't tolerate treatment of children that way.

Attention HP Touchpad users
peppysfireball replied to Kim3498's topic in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion
You don't need virus protection on tablets. THis is discussed frequently on amazon kindle forums. The posters on there say the systems the tablets use are safe and don't get viruses. I bought my son the kindle fire and I have no intention of putting virus protection on it. THe content is not like stuff you get into on computers, I see no reason to waste money on something that isn't necessary. -
Just saw this. I put my pics of my homemade marshmallows on my facebook page. My name is Lori Leverton, they are open for everyone to see. Line a cake pan with foil and butter it heavily. In a large bowl, sprinkle 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Set aside. In a large heavy pan, combine 2 cups sugar, 1 cup light corn syrup, 1/8 tsp salt and 1/2 cup cold water. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionallyu. cook until 240, which is soft ball stage. . Remove from heat and gradually add to gelatin. You really need a stand mixer for this, It takes about 15 minutes beating on high speed and the marshmallows grow very tall n the bowl. Beat in vanilla and spread in pan. Cover and let sit at room temp at least 6 hours. Lift out the foil and turn marshmallows upside down on buttered cutting board, Use a buttered knife to cut into squares and roll in colored sugar, cinnamon sugar, sprinkles, etc. They are very wet and appear to be sticky, but not really. They must be rolled or they will stick together.

Divinity is my big thing at xmas. I make it especially for my grandma and mom. It is difficult and can fail, the biggest reason it isn't setting up is you are not beating it until it is ready. It takes 10-15 minutes of beating on high. You cannot start putting it out until it loses it's shininess. It not only loses its shininess, but you start to see ripples in it and it thickens very quickly. YOu then have only a couple of minutes to get it out of the bowl, that's why small batches using 2 egg whites is important. I never have a batch fail. Also, you have to have that syrup at the correct temp,265. I add 2 teaspoons powdered sugar at this stage to improve texture. I have been making this since I was 16, so that's 30 years. I go through mixers quickly too. BUrned up my 50 Cuisinart last year, but I will bet you aren't beating it long enough. The beater puts air into the candy and it cools it down. It has to reach a certain temp to set up.
