In summary, the Toyota recall does not concern Tsu and I at all. Tillamook Extra Sharp, White, Cheddar Cheese; aged two years+ is great for nachos. Dell Computers - can't beat the customer service. I can buy a computer with an extended warranty and forget about any problems for at least three years. Nutella is the wolf-in-sheep's-clothing of food. But mmmm so good.

Finally! Someone made a jog bra that is ***awesome***! Damn, this thing is so amazing I think men should wear them too.

The Shock Absorber Sports Bra. Unbelievable. Spendy, but worth it, if you really need a sports bra.
Years ago I started sleeping in a support bra, the result, I think I am the only woman on Earth my age that has the breasts of a 20 year old.

Evo Child is getting enormous, she now understands the need for tight support, I hope that she keeps those things bound tightly whenever they're not in use. I know women that have to lift their breasts in order to button their pants. It is not attractive.

My mom jokes that when she was young, she was a 36C. After 4 kids and years of yo-yo dieting, she's now a 36 long.

I know those genes. Does this sports bra come with a parachute ripcord deployment system? :smile:

Where would I be without my Ribao SBC-100? It frees up many hours of work so I have more time to play.

My 25 year old craftsman hammer still works like new.

The General Tso's vegan tofu at Whole Foods deli has fooled numerous meat eaters I know.
Trader Joe's soy chorizo is awesome in homemade mashed potatoes.
I've had my Henckel's Pro "S" knives almost 20 years now, and they're still as good as ever.

Spam. What other product inspired a comedy sketch and musical? (Who says it has to be favorite based on use?).

In terms of clothes, the only company I like, even if a bit pricey is RRL as you can
get some good reductions on them if you look around.
NSD powerball is another company that I like for exercise.
I don't really have many companies I like, just ones I tolerate for things.

Organic vegetables are my favorite product.

locally grown, locally raised, locally constructed. But also, obscure foreign imports. And sometimes Carl's Jr. or McDonalds, or Safeway Deli, or Domino's Pizza. And Pepsi.

Grundens rain gear, XTRA TUFF boots, Victorinox knives, Carhartt clothing.

XBox, Nintendo

MATLAB, Zebra F-301, Ford, Vizio, Acer, Craftsman, Windows, Macintosh.

Think that's just about it.

I live in Kansas, so if I went with local produce, I'd have no citrus, only corn, wheat and soy. In other words, I'd die. Thank goodness for the ability to bring in food from other areas, it allows people to live here.

Titanium eyeglasses with plastic lenses. Small mass. I'd rather use such eyeglasses than having a good vision.

I love my TI-83 Plus. Been using it since I started university and it's never done me wrong ^^

I''m pretty much stuck on L.L. Bean flannel-lined jeans for cold-weather wear. They are tough and well-made, and it's a whole lot more comfortable to pull these on than to put on thermal underwear, and then normal jeans.

I guess I'm pretty stuck on Subaru Foresters, too. My wife totaled ours in a single-car accident, but emerged with no injuries. We have another on order. The Forester was 4 years old, and we'll have to pay an extra $7K (over the value of the insurance check) to move up to a 2013 model with some upgrades.

I love my Honda Ridgeline, but in icy weather, I'd gladly take a Forester with studded snows. Subaru does All-Wheel-Drive superbly. There was really no discussion about what we would buy to replace the wrecked Forester. Foregone conclusion.

I'm a big fan of the Ron Pompeil hair in a can thing. Watching the infomercial where he used it on himself will bring tears to your eyes. Watching it stoned may result in permanent brain damage.

Ultrasonic humidifiers! What a vast improvement these are over the older technologies for humidification. But rather than buying one, I used an ultrasonic garden mist maker and an empty plastic jug. It works as well as units costing over $100, but it cost me about $7.

And it's even adjustable. :biggrin: I had to cut a hole in the jug just above the max water level to vent the vapor. Then, by cutting a hole in the old label on the jug and rotating the label, I can control the flow rate coming out of the jug, from 0-100%.

Very efficient! In less than 8 hours it converted about 20 oz of water to vapor. It has a transformer rated at 29 watts. Also, I had the vent reduced to < ~25% open during this time. So most of the vapor [mist] was going back into liquid.

I think anyone with a degree in physics or engineering has studied Applied Water Jug Theory.

This is my favorite salt, I just wish it had MSG. It used to come in a 7.5 ounce bottle, now it's 4 ounces for the same price. But the flavor is subtle and delicious. It doesn't change or overpower the taste of the food you add it to like most seasoned salt, this is more for adding as a table or finishing salt.

Hunt's petite diced tomatoes, in sauce, Boursin cheese, San Marcos mild pickled jalapenos, Marie Calendar's frozen foods, Quaker five minute grits, Snap-E-Tom tomato chile juice, Knorr Swiss bouillion, Jimmy Dean's Breakfast Sausage.

I agree on Jimmy Dean's. I like the Quaker "Instant Grits" best. They don't taste like "real" grits, but they are, so to speak, their own kind of grits.

I have to admit that I also love instant grits, but switched to 5 minute because they are so much cheaper, Evo Child actually prefers instant grits.

Knox unflavored gelatin.

I use 4 cups of my favorite fruit or vegetable juice together with 3 tablespoons of Knox unflavored gelatin to make my version of Jell-O.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is good for the fingernails and joints. Mine were greatly improved after 2 months of one portion per day.

It is my belief there are additional potential health benefits you may want to discover for yourself.

Gelatin is made from animal skin, fat, and connective tissue that has been refined, boiled and dessicated.
