  1. I think the reports of my demise are premature! Unless, of course, I misread the original directions - which wouldn't surprise me at all. Regardless, wishing everyone a happy New Year, and, a wonderful 2018.
  2. I have to admit I completely ignored this device as I thought it would be something I would never use. After reading this, though, I think I will do some research and read the home automation thread, Thanks!
  3. I almost blew it already, but, I am going to try this too.
  4. I can't believe the men's socks aren't showing the sale price yet.
  5. I received by SS box today, and, I couldn't be happier! It was absolutely filled with wonderful gifts (all of which I already opened). I am a compulsive list maker and there were no less than three different calendars, boards and note pads that I can use for this, plus pumpkin latte mix, hot chocolate, socks, a soft throw, and, more! Thank you very much to my SS, and, I wish you and your family a safe and Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.
  6. I think re-gifting is fine, and, that you can really appreciate a gift without actually using it. When I buy gift cards I purposely do not write any names on the back of the card, in case the recipient wants to re-gift. My sister and I have a running gag where we have been giving each other the same birthday card for a few years now. We write our greetings on post it notes placed inside so the card can be used again.
  7. I'm looking for a 50 - 55" for my son. My top issues are that I must be able to purchase online, and, then, price ($350 max - ok if after kohls cash if i go that route). He works and goes to school (and has a small apartment), so, I'm not necessarily concerned with 4k or gaming capabilities. I'll check the products chart and review the ads, but, I would also very much appreciate any input, suggestions, etc. from all of you. Thank you!
  8. Fred Meyer is also opened on Thanksgiving (they are a grocery store too), and, they usually put out an ad for that day only. Has the Thanksgiving day ad been released yet? Thank you.
  9. Standing in line for hours only for it to be a free for all with line jumpers when the doors open. Not handing out numbers for big ticket door buster items. Not limiting the number of big ticket items per person when there is a limited amount and the teenager who pushed past you is taking them all. Ok, now I am starting to sound old. Oh, and, get off my lawn.
  10. Just me and three dogs I have four tv's but I Check ads for one more
  11. SPINACH AND LEMON ORZO SOUP 2 Tbs. olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 large onion, chopped 1 tsp. red pepper flakes 2 cups packed fresh spinach leaves 1 1/2 cups orzo pasta 8 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth) 1 lemon, zested and juiced Freshly grated Parmesan cheese DIRECTIONS: Heat the oil in a large heavy pot or stock pot. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the lemon zest, and red pepper flakes and cook another 3 minutes until the onions are tender and translucent. Turn the heat to medium and add the spinach and orzo. Cook for 1 minute and then add the broth and lemon juice. Bring to a light simmer and cook for 15-18 minutes until the orzo is tender. Serve immediately garnished with freshly grated Parmesan. Don't omit the red pepper flakes - they really make this soup great.
  12. This TV is listed today https://www.ebay.com/itm/192339250513?rmvSB=true What do you guys think about the price? Wait for BF or buy now?
  13. I think in the last couple of weeks Best Buy had a 50" or 55" Roku streaming TV for under $400.00 . This is definitely on my list this year, and it seemed to be a good deal. I did not buy it, however, as I am hoping for a better price on BF. Do you think a lower price might be expected?
  14. Thanks. I did not even consider other brands.
  15. I totally missed that when looking in the ads! I think this model would work fine (my son adopted a couple of older cats who don't always make it to the litter!). Thank you for pointing it out.
  16. Does anyone recall either of these items being on sale in prior years? I checked some of the obvious sale papers from last year, but, did not see these listed. I am really hoping I can get a good deal on one of these heavy duty carpet cleaners.
  17. I just received my SS package today - and opened it immediately! Thank you so much for everything to my SS in Fort Wayne!
  18. So far I have cooked pasta (using the basket strainer), mashed potatoes and eggs. I have no complaints, so, I think I am keeping both. Good luck!

    Vans

    Does anyone know if Vans(shoes) normally has a Black Friday ad or special deals?
  20. Just received the pans. The brand is Copper Pro (not Copper Chef). I bought one for myself and one as a Christmas gift. I may try mine out immediately before deciding whether or not to return the other.
  21. Ugh. That's very disappointing.
  22. I received an email that my order has shipped!

    This is my favorite creamed corn recipe: 2 pkgs (20 oz) frozen corn kernels (i usually do one white and one yellow) 8 oz whipping cream 8 oz milk 1 tsp salt 6 tsp sugar pinch white pepper (or cayenne) 2 tbsp melted butter 2 tbsp flour Combine all but last 2 ingredients in a pot and bring to boil. Simmer 5 minutes. Blend butter with flour, add to the corn, mix well and remove from heat. It's REALLY good and very simple.
