That bra strap thing would break in 5 minutes with my ta tas!

Roomie and I were intrigued by the "no no" for hair removal. All these soap stars were sitting around a circle talking about how much they loved it. And never did they mention the price. So I got on line and said guess how much?

Roomie: $50
Me: No no
Roomie: &75
Me: No no
Roomie $100
Me No, no, no!

It's $279!

Funny, we haven't heard much from the Nads girl or the Epilady lady lately ....

I was wondering if anyone bought those RONCO knives. I think he offered a lifetime guarantee but I bet it is hard to get them to follow through.

Love all your responses so far.

I have a Ped Egg and use it often...it gets me through when I don't have the extra $ to get a pedi...

Me, too! They really are perfect brownies! I also like the plastic thing that holds your bra straps up...

My 6 yr old saw The Perfect Brownie thing on TV a few months ago and claimed "MOM! You need to get this so you can MAKE perfect brownies cuz you don't know how to bake!"

Ah, kids, gotta love em. So funny that she thought this amazing product would turn me into the Perfect Brownie Maker! She was kinda dismayed when I told her that they only "looked" perfect...

My sister in law loves the showtime rotisserie. She has used up 3 in the past 12 or so years, but doesn't feel it's a quality issue, she and her family use it almost every day, sometimes twice. I didn't feel it was my kind of cooking, gave her ours.I bought the NuWave oven, and I really like that--but buy it on the phone, the website is full of got-chas. I woulnd' even give them my email address...They did work with me to resolve the problems created in the order process.And I use the brownie pan with the squares to mold my holiday fudge.Marghi

Both the Ronco Rotisserie (there is no better roast chicken!) and about 10 years ago the FlowBee haircutting system (we're now on our 3rd one). I have never had a bad haircut since I bought it.

Remember the Ronco spray they were selling to help men hide that ever growning bald spot on the crown of the head? I swear it was spray paint to match any hair color!!!

Too funny! Good come back with "they only look perfect"!!! Love it!

And yet, I love you. :love: Just goes to show what an amazing woman you are, because usually something like this would be enough for me to dislike someone.

Haha, Rae. I was thinking the same thing!

I bought something at a Home Show, but I thinks it's an "as seen on tv." It's like a lint brush, but instead of sticky paper, it's a sticky pink roller, which you wash in warm water when it's too full of hair to be sticky anymore. Let it air dry for about 20 seconds, and it's ready to use again. I got a 'bundle' pack with three sizes - one for my purse (which I use A LOT - two cats, one kitten, one Jack Russell mix, and one ferret). One just the right size for furniture, and with a slightly bigger roller and adjustable handle to get up in the corners for cobwebs - and is positioned on the roller so you can clean both sides of a ceiling fan blade at the same time.

This thread really cracks me up. Don't think I have ever bought anything off of the TV, but I did buy some knives at a road show thing at SAM's Club about 4 years ago. We had just gotten married and DH complained about the crappy knives I had. They are called Forever Sharp. I paid about $40 and got 3 BIG serrated knives with a meat poker at the end, one large fillet knife, and 3 small paring knives. They don't compare to the FC, but they are really nice and are still really sharp. They are stainless steel and are solid piece construction. They don't have the weight of the FC, but we do like them a lot.

I bought a Ginsu Knife about 17 years ago from a road show at the fair. We still have it and it still cuts things like they're butter!

Me, too!!!

Got my Ped Egg at CVS. Tried it briefly and like it so far. Gotta give it a good workout on my tired old feet. Haven't gotten a professional pedi in 2 years. Really get them to get the dead skin off my feet.

OMG The Flow Bee. My brother-in-law has had one for years. Cuts his own thick, curly hair with it. I couldn't believe it when I saw him using it years ago, attached to the vacuum cleaner and all.

Got my Costco coupon book for June-July and it had a coupon for a big Magic Bullet package, in case anyone is a member and looking to get that item.
