Exactly, they look terrific, but I wonder if they work as advertised!

Many of those items eventually are sold in retail stores. If it interests me I wait till I can actually see it in a store. I'm pretty sure I've seen the crinkly hose that you're describing in Bed Bath & Beyond. I live in a different state but I would think the Florida BB&B stores would also have it.

I just googled "as seen on tv hose" and all kinds of info about where to purchase came up. Check out the customer reviews on Amazon. Not very complimentary about the product.

Your suggestion was so helpful. It never occured to me, duh. I checked out Amazon as you suggested, and there are tons of negative reviews suggesting the hose is pure garbage, not at all durable. Thanks!

I'm still working on getting my courage up for a mini butterfly tatt. I really, really want to get one. But I really, really don't want to chance an infection or hepatitis.

If you're interested in reading a good book, I loved "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. They have it at the Belvedere Library on Parr Drive. It's an amazing book.

Magic Hose
 

Oh they work...briefly. My husband purchased one of the blue models from the "AS SEEN ON TV" booth @ Marion Market. He used it once and a metal piece inside the hose broke which blocked the water flow. He then got a green one. He used that one briefly as well, until it "blew out", soaking him. :cus: We will not get another!

FYI ~ If you ever purchase anything from the booth mentioned above...get a receipt. Long story there...........

I heard from someone that they sell those hoses at Publix. I haven't seen them there myself. They sound so wonderful, but apparently they're very fragile. I haven't heard one positive comment, ever.

I wonder if everything they sell on TV is crap. I wonder about the bra genie. :confused:

I LOVE mine. Got the green hose at Walmart. I will say that it is not for he-men with gorilla grip tightening techniques (hose ends are plastic) but for those like me it is the easiest hose I ever worked with. It doesn't get tangled, empties and compresses in a flash when you're done and really does extend to 50 feet when water pressure is on. When empty, I can carry it in one hand. 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. :coolsmiley:

Bra Genie
 

My girfriend bought a "bra genie" @ Bed Bath Beyond. She is big busted and it just didn't work for her...too much stretch. Let's just say things were hanging quite low. When she returned it to BBB, a gentleman was at the return counter. He asked if there was anything wrong with it. Her answer, "well not that I'm gonna tell you about!" I thought I would pass out laughing at the expression on his face when he realized what she was returning. :1rotfl:

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.

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.

That's what they say 'bout those boys....

And every word of it is true.

By the way billyg, thanks for the recommendation to read "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. I thought it was a fantastic read.

Tatoo
 

All I can say is "Courage Camille" to getting a tatoo. I do not know if I will ever get one, but I have seen many I like.

My Granddaughter just got her second one. Her first one is about 10 inches long and 4 inches wide. It is of a girl with long flowing hair, her second one was to cover up an older tatoo. She has never had complications, but always follows the instructions given to her.

I'll bring the wine to enhance the tranquilizers - brand name of wine will be BAREFOOT.

Vicar of Dibley

WAIT.....I entered late and lost the thread of conversation. The Vicar of Dibley is a GIRL????

Vical of Dibley
 

Yes, Gracie, the Vicar of Dibley is definitely a woman. A woman who speaks her mind, and never says an ill word about others.

Looks like The Vicar's ditto key is stuck.

Hi Patty,

I feel like a techie genius, even if I did post it twice, I posted my response.

I did not know what to do after I corrected the post. What ever I did, it showed up twice.

Vicar of Dibley ... There is an option to edit or delete your posts. ;););)

Vicar ... You are a hoot and a crazy woman!! Should I blow your cover and say the name of your previous incarnation?

Love Bare

Hi Patti,

Sorry to report but my ditto key was not stuck, nor any other key that I am aware of.

I just have a magnetic personality that allows the computer to do what it wants, when it wants and how it wants to do it.

I am as you can guess, at the hands of my computer.

I agree, Bare... She is a crazy woman!! Let's blow her cover!!!

Barefoot the Teckie Whiz
 

Hi,

I thought if I hit either button I would lose the post, so I did not hit either one of them.

What do I do after I post a post, then decide to edit it? I know I hit the edit key, but what do I do after that?

Just sign me the Genius of Teckie non Technology.

I must admit I did feel proud of myself that I was able to figure out how to post, much less post it twice.

As for my past, people here know I am a sweet, shy, warm, wallflower person. I think I would like to keep it that way.

I have visited the same salon for 20 years. My hair stylist is the best and I have always gotten compliments on my hair. Total strangers have stopped to ask who does my hair. The salon often does makeovers on television and does hair and makeup for several television shows. My hair stylist says I can't move because nobody in Florida can do hair.
How do you find a really good hair stylist? Other than flying back every 5 weeks, I don't know of a solution to this problem.

You are so lucky to have had such good luck with the same salon for 20 years. I think your hair stylist is correct, you can't move to Florida. Or you can move for the great lifestyle and buy a cute wig. When I see someone with great hair, I always ask where they have it cut. If you look back in this thread, there have been a lot of different stylists suggested.

I've used many different stylists in Florida. Just when I think I've found a crackerjack colorist, and take a picture to show exactly what I want, I end up looking like Molly Carrot Top, and the search resumes. I've used Urban Hair, Root 66 (several different stylists), Color Me, Victoria Hair, and many others. I even tried The Beauty College once where they mistakenly died my hair jet black and then said they didn't know how to fix it. I haven't tried Cal's Barber Shops yet, some people have really good luck there. I'm sure it depends on the stylist.

It's kind of like picking a husband. You date a lot of different types, and finally you finally find the man who is perfect for you. Or perhaps he is perfect for a while and then things change. It's such a personal thing. I think we all have to just keep experimenting until we find perfection!

This is for women who think that their husbands never really listen to them.

Read this thread for the first time this morning - and without a doubt it is the best "stuff" on this chat line. I recently pm'd the female Chairman of the Board and told her I was done with this chat line due to the argumentative and just plain nasty turn this chat line has taken in very recent months. This thread gives me new hope that there are some really decent, unantagonistic and non-argumentative people still hanging around!

Love your "handle". I have the whole boxed set and still get to see reruns of her shows on Saturday night - she is the funniest and nicest comedienne on TV, just wish we had more of her "stuff" over here. I recently saw Trevor Peacock in the movie "Quartet" (which I saw three times), I had no idea he had written and been involved with the musical theater - we live and learn if we use the computer to it's fullest extent.

I'm real late finding this great site so you may have already had loads of information on the bladder lift. Unfortunately I know far too much about that subject, but what you need now in Florida, and maybe elsewhere, is a Uro-Gyno. I have one at Mayo in Jacksonville, but there are two women here now who are both Uro-Gynos. If you need this info let me know, I have it somewhere.

Redken Chromatics
 

Find a salon that uses the new Redken product, Chromatics. Great coverage! :024:

Aveda
 

I also love Aveda and wish they would build here!

Well I guess I should make sure I get over to Mahjong tonight!

I remember when I first started learning Mahjong, we played every Tuesday afternoon. For the first year I always got a Mahjong headache every Tuesday because I had to concentrate so hard. Now I just relax and play a lousy game, and occasionally win by pure luck and lots of jokers. :sigh:

I'm not sure that Mahjong is quite as satisfying as a gabfest with wine! :wine: :D

Oh I am way passed the headache. I gave into that after the first lesson :) We just spend most of our time eating.

You're probably better at games and cards than I am. I had a huge learning curve because I've never played any kind of cards or board games. But I found Mahjong strangely intriguing. There is something sexy about the tiles.

We used to spend all our time eating when we had our games at people's houses. We had to move the games to a Rec Center beside the pool.

Really! I will have to dress a little more provocatively next week...Maybe I will do better.

I don't know how I'll dress when I learn to play mahjong, but I may need a supply of pain killers also. I have my 92 year old aunt's set and can't wait to learn how to play. I am really looking forward to it and with a hand-me down set from someone who used it for years, the pressure is on. Bring on the wine and snacks. I think I need to eat and drink away the pressure. Seriously, I can't wait to play. Hope no one is too, too competitive and impatient with me.

Sunscreen for your face?
 

I was just wondering what you ladies use on your face for sunscreen and if you use sunscreen daily. Do you have a recommendation for one that doesn't burn your eyes and/or is ok with sensitive skin?
