    Green grocery bags - do you?

    I've tried several types of bags and the ones I like best (and use most often) are the ultra compact canvas ones from Reusablebags.com (link). These were more expensive than some other ones I have but to me, they are worth the extra money. They fold up small and I can keep a bunch in my car and...

    Pet food

    I understand, Pacanis. And I'm really hoping that Canidae does keep everything to their standards. But anytime something is outsourced, that company is relying on its manufacturing site to follow agreed to process protocols, quality assurance agreements, and standard operating procedures. Unless...

    pacanis, the Diamond recalls that I'm aware of from last year are for Nutra Nuggets when they confirmed that some product may include traces of melamine resulting from cross contamination during manufacturing. No animal deaths were reported for Diamond (there were 2 reported deaths that I can...

    Upset and Sad

    Awww, poor poor Isabella! Look at her face, what a sweetie! I'm glad she's home with her Mommy and Mr. Kitty. My puppers send lots of puppy kisses and hugs. I'll keep her in my thoughts and hopefully no surgery. Hugs to you too, KE.

    Pet food

    TOTW is one of the top brands of pet food. Allergies were the exact reasons why I've had to do quite a bit of dog food research. My first Aussie was allergic to just about everything, food and airborne allergens. Thank goodness we were able to finally manage his allergies with a variety of...

    DirecTV Boycott!

    You think with all the competition out there, DTV might want to *try* to keep their customers by providing excellent service. Which reminds me, I haven't seen their little promo ads about how wonderful their customer service has been rated in a very long time.

    In case there are some who are interested in seeing what the latest recall list, this link will take you to FDA's site. The spreadsheet has some good information (and you'll see a trend as to which manufacturers had the most recalls). http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/petfoodrecall/

    DirecTV Boycott!

    You weren't the only one having this problem. I've read about this complaint quite a bit. It seems to be more so with certain shipping locations. I'm near the one in LA (I think :ermm:) and they seem to do a pretty good job at processing. A friend of mine in PA has all sorts of problem with...

    DirecTV Boycott!

    Yeah, that's the problem with Netflix, kind of have to guess ahead. We used to do both Netflix and Blockbuster because of that but that didn't last long. Blockbuster around us had the worst selections of movies. Now, we'll use PPV and On Demand if we're not in the mood to watch the Netflix movies.

    I made my first Angel Food Cake using Alton Brown's recipe. I never knew Angel Food Cake could taste so good.

    DirecTV Boycott!

    FWIW, just a clarification on Netflix. Each member has a queue set up and each movie is ranked as to what he would like shipped. But what ships is also based on availability. If your #1 choice is Meatballs but availability is tagged as short wait, that may or may not ship as your next selection...

    Jeekinz, do you have a DVD recorder? You may be able to record it to DVD. I've done that with some shows. Tedious and long but that's one way to save them.
