Quotethe_poochiesThanks...I actually go to BJ's (THE STORE, PEOPLE) because there are no Costcos or Sam's Clubs in my area.
I belong to all three. Generally I go to Costco because I like their stuff more. I belong to Sam's so my kid has a place to go near her college; it's the only one. I go to BJs because they provide enough coupons to easily pay the membership each year and they have rea

Cheapest real vanilla you can find. Start with 1/8 tsp and see what you think. Work up/down from there.
Don't use the fake stuff.

Thanks for the links; I think I figured it out!
I wonder how far Romney will get in 08? Those gaffes are the type of thing that might or might not catch fire with the public. I think several of those are meaningless (price of the subway), but the polygamy thing might cause some problems with the hard religious right in the Republican party.

The report said this: The release, which described the celebration of "gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer youth and their supporters,"
I guess I'm going to show my age. Back in the old days, gays were often called "@#$%&." Is there a different current definition or did they just toss in both "gay" and "queer" to cover all bases?

I use my Starwood AMEX at Costco. It provides a free night at Sheraton, etc. for a minimum of 2000 points on a weekend, depending on the quality of the hotel. I just stayed at the Sheraton at the Atlanta airport for 4000 points on Wed night (it's 3000 points on a weekend). That's a much better payback than most cards and substantially better than the Costco AMEX. Since we don't stay in low-end

Good point. I think the whole Moussaoui thing makes it more, rather than less, likely that others will attack. I think it will continue and enhance the perception that we are weak.

I'm taking my kid to Home Depot to pick up a 6 pack of assorted garden gloves (cloth to leather) in a momma size. Costs $20 and I'd bet your 6 year old would love to put on a pair to work with mom in the garden (if she's the gardening type!).

The AP report said: "I would say the best moment was when I caught a 7 1/2-pound largemouth bass on my lake," Bush said, laughing.
Two points: 1. he was joking, and 2. it seems likely that "bass" became "perch" in the Reuters piece from the translation from English ("bass") to German ("barsch") and back to English ("perch").

Interesting report from a couple of years ago:
Smoking costs almost $40 per pack. The authors suggest that smokers pay about $33 of the cost, their families pay $5.44 and society pays $1.44 of the cost
I haven't read the book, but if the analysis is right, then states are typically "overcharging" for their costs from smokers.

Maybe the critical words in the ACT ad are "leading mouthwash" as opposed to "nonleading mouthwash!"
You're right that other mouthwashes have flouride. The cheap Walgreens generic that we buy has the same concentration as the ACT Restoring (sodium fluoride 0.05%). I'd bet Baby Tats is right and that it's marketing.
I wish we'd had flouride when I was a kid (and that

I don't know the biochemical mechanism, but the notion of flouride (in toothpaste and mouthwash) rebuilding enamel is familiar to me.
This doesn't speak to the mechanism, but does support the notion of rebuilding: "Fluoride works by stopping or even reversing the tooth decay process. It keeps the tooth enamel strong and solid by preventing the loss of (and enhancing the re-attachment of)

Be careful with the poisons--our Atlanta area mice really stunk when they died after poison.
We use glue traps and those little gray tilting boxes that automatically trap the mouse when they enter--about 1-1/2" square and about 3" long.

Maybe they'll use those "human wave attacks" that proved so successful during their last war: "Ranging in age from only nine to more than fifty, these eager but relatively untrained soldiers swept over minefields and fortifications to clear safe paths for the tanks."
