I used to buy the burritos for the kids, because she (Amy) makes dairy free ones - but they take like 45 minutes to cook. If I've got 45 mins to fuck around with, I'm gonna make something good....

We have a full size fridge with freezer at work that I keep Amy's burritos in for when I don't have leftovers for lunch. (Or, more frequently, just forget to bring them). I think they are good slathered with sour cream and fresh salsa from the co-op.

My endorsement:

Since going off the pill eons ago, my acne steadily had been getting worse. Not just little annoying zits, full fledged cystic acne that started on my face, then began on my back and eventually chest. That was it, summer was coming and I was 32 for crissakes, not 15. It was gross. So, in March, I decided to give Proactive a try before dropping the cash to see a dermatologist.

It freaking worked a miracle. Within 2 weeks, my face was dramatically better. I wasn't able to use it on my back as frequently as my face, so that took longer to clear up, but it did too. A-freaking-mazing.

Unbeknownst to me, a good friend was going through the same pill-withdrawl acne problems, and saw a dermatologist. She has been on antibiotics etc. etc. pretty much the same amount of time, and her acne is only marginally better. No, it really wasn't all that much worse than mine to start with.

So, ladies, I hate to sound like an infomercial, but seriously, if you find yourself in this situation give it a try. It worked for me.

great! I'm glad it worked for you.

Now, if only I can find something for brown spots.

Try Wite-out.

What are you doing here on a Friday, HLJ? ;)

I thought you said "starting next week."

I did. And don't think I won't be checking.:unsure:

I'll have to get a second account under a different name. How about BadSamaritan?

How about DanglesLikeSatan?

No, then you'll still know it's me.

Wouldn't you need three accounts, and not just two?

Spill alert required!

LOL!

Thing I endorse - again!
I'm sure I've mentioned them all before.

As LR brought up contraception, I fully endorse the Implanon implant for 3 years of no worries, no PMT and no breakouts.

Crocs. Let people laugh - if you have toxic feet like mine you need a summer shoe that you can wear without socks and still rinse at the end of a hot day. And cushioned? I can walk all day and all night and still enjoy it.

Thrive cat treats. Freeze dried, natural. Prawn, chicken or fish - my cats go mad for them.

Yeowww! Ducky Wold Catnip Toys. The best I have ever come across. Diz still fawns all over the Green Fish I bought in November, despite me growing fresh catnip for him!

Jet Dry dishwasher cleaner. The inside of our dishwasher is stainless steel (not what I would have chosen, but it came with the house) so white mineral buildup from our relatively hard water is very visible. Plus, it was beginning to plug the holes on the spray arms. I had used several at-home cleaning suggestions, like putting a cup full of vinegar on the top rack, but they had done nothing, and there were far too many nooks & crannies for me to scrub it by hand. Anyway, this stuff worked like a charm. The inside of my dishwasher is now sparkling silver again and the sprayers are clear. They say use it once a month, but I don't buy that. It completely removed a year's worth of buildup, so I think every 6 months to a year will be sufficient for us. Your water hardness may vary.

Jet dry? Srsly? you should ahve gotten a year's supply when you bought the thing. it rocketh.

But what is more awesome by a factor of a lot is my current beverage! Yay bevvies.

coconut milk made into a simple syrup (use cocnut milk instedad of water) and add a cup of very strong coffee to a cup of coconut syrup and add many of ice cubes and blender them fully and splash on vodka. yuummy.

I whole heartedly endorspe

But this isn't the "rinse aid" stuff that makes your dishes spotless, this is a new product under the same brand. It's a little carton that you turn upside down and then run the empty dishwasher.

The dude who sold me our stainless steel washer said the regular Jet Dry was mandatory for stainless steel.

AHA! Now I see a link in your original post. Never underestimate the awesome powers of my beverages. [/notetoself]

I previously endorsed my fountain pen. Unfortunately, most fountain pen ink available is not very waterproof. It runs at the slightest hint of moisture. The one exception I've found, and endorse, is Noodler's Ink.

Something I've used professionally but do not sell: Spyderco's Tri-Angle sharpener or any of its followons. Highly efficient, easy to use, makes edges sharp enough for a comfortable dry-shave. Which is sharp enough.

I've got the Tri-Angle Sharpener. I even watched the 40-minute video that came with it.

Chilli chocolate

okay, ow! re: the triangle sharpener. Why? because to me, a triangle is . . .

NSFW! REALLY NSFW! don't look if you don't want to see pierced bits!

triangle piercing

Doesn't need to be sharpened!

Sand in the ointment, imho...

(It's not that I don't want to see pierced bits, I just don' want to run my tongue over them or put my special purpose near them...)

Euroreef protein skimmers,Smith and Wesson handguns,anything Lionel(pre-war of course)and Phillip Morris products.

Scored a bottle of jetdry and will try it out today.

The Ove Glove.
Just grab shit, right out of the oven.

If I recall correctly from a review in Cook's Illustrated, it only works well in dry environments (like ovens.) If you do anything with steam or hot water, that steam will go right through the weave and burn the shit out of your hand. Don't drain the spaghetti pot while wearing this.

I just bought this motherboard and so far, I am thoroughly impressed. Good, easy to follow manual. Easy, yet thorough BIOS. Even the onboard video aint bad for onboard. Plus, it is really pretty.

just wanted to bump this thread--how useful the Cellar is! I knew someone had posted about the fancy best dishwasher cleaner and ta-da!

Also had a lot of fun reading the Cillit Bang posts . . . missed that first time around.

Seconded. Got my first pair a few months ago and I still can't believe how good they are.

Oh, let's see... what else... Ahh yes...

I give my highest recommendation to OCZ Technologies, the makers of my current go-everywhere, do everything USB stick. I rely very heavily on my USB stick and have had some problems in the past so I decided to try what some claim is the best one made. Its not cheap but its every bit as good, durable and fast as OCZ claims it is.

They have other neat stuff too like their Neural Impulse Actuator. I'm not much of a gamer but if that ever changes, I'd love to try this thing out.

The Libman wonder mop.

I'm using their SLI-ready RAM in my nVidia environment. They make beautiful stuff.

Burt and his bees do good work.

Oh thats brilliant!

Makes you wonder what the hell the kid was thinking, doesn't it?

It really does. That takes a special kind of 'fuck you' spirit.

I think he might have been thinking, "I'm getting arrested anyway, so...here's hoping you like the smell of the shit I'm smoking" :)

Actually, what he SHOULD have been thinking is, "This may very well be the last coherent thought I ever have, so I'd better make it good."

Smart Colour Total Blonde
I bought it because it was cheap (from Wilko) without even realising it came divided into two sachets.
So with my new short hair, I only used half and have half still to go. AND it came with mixing tray, gloves and brush - which they don't all.

Once I've used up the pink I'm going back to the white blonde - I really liked it.
And I'm going to keep my hair this length.

Haha, how likely is that? Me with the same hair for a couple of months?

Based on my recent camping experience, I have to wholeheartedly endorse Tiffin Motor Homes, particularly the Allegro Bus.

In addition to a full kitchen, comfortable beds, central vac system, gold-plated Moen bathroom fixtures, and a washer-dryer, it has a light-up doorhandle so you can find it in the dark.

^^^^that's CAMPING?

I'm so proud of you, girl. That's exactly the way I would do it, too.

Brilliant, and obvious now someone's thought of it (all puns intended).

Zippo lighters. Case pocket knives. And Buicks.

Somebody mentioned Kindle earlier. We got them for the girls. They are addicted.

Camping is a hotel without 24 hour room service.

Of course, you'd have to leave the doors unlocked, or risk lessening the chance of being taken forcefully in the night by a wild, hairy woodsman.

Does he have an accent?

He has a thick, veiny accent.

Is he kosher?

He could be kosher, but he hasn't been certified. :D

I couldn't live without the Magic Eraser.

That, and peanut butter.

Kindle, really? I'm anti-Kindle. Granted, I've never used one. But I'm a book junkie. Nothing could be better than a well-loved, dog-eared paperback book. I even sniff my books.

I suppose that using Kindle in place of heavy, expensive textbooks is an idea I can get behind. But that's it.
