I thought I would pass out laughing at the expression on his face when he realized what she was returning.
Ah, I didn't realize you could buy a bra genie anywhere but on television. And then returning it would be hell. I kind of suspected that the bra genie wasn't designed for "full figured" ladies. Thanks Gingersnap for the entertaining story.

The hose nozzle I use is heavier than the hose itself. I am in the process of trickle watering new plantings every day. This hose makes that SO easy! Best $19 I have spent in a long time. Yep, LOVE it.
OK, for $19 at Walmart, I'm willing to take a gamble on a green hose. If it is light and I don't have to drag it around, then I can be very gentle with it. I just have to make sure that Fireboy doesn't use it. Those retired firefighters are hell on hoses.
