Thank you oklamoni - I ordered the whisks and the tongs. I use the dishwasher a lot on these items and it was time to replace a few and I love free shipping! Andrea

Thanks, lynn -- even if I don't get these, I may have to try them from somwhere else. I either have to wash my tablecloth after each meal or I use ugly plastic type place mats-- so the bamboo would be a nice change.

I did! I found several pair of summer shoes that interested me, but they weren't available in my size. Size 9 must be popular. I'm sure I'll revisit the site. Last week a friend told me about a sale that Sierra Trading Post was offering. It was the last day to get free shipping on orders over $100 and an extra 20% certain sale items. She had a bunch of stuff lined up to order, and wanted to know if I had anything to add to it. I'd been wanting to try Acorn shoes, and found a pair of sneakers I liked. They're called Earthroamers, I think. Originally $88, and with all the discounts I ended up paying $26. I just got them, and they're very comfy!

Lindsay, I quit buying Christmas presents. Last year, my daughter and her family got the unique present of my presence at Christmas. I didn't know where I would end up money wise, nor do they really need anything. I decided to stick to that. Neither of my girls, nor grand kids, nor my son in law will receive anything for Christmas. All have all they need, and can afford all they want. At Christmas last year I saw such an abundance of "stuff" being unwrapped... There is no way I will ever go back to Christmas shopping for anyone but me. I have never exchanged Christmas gifts with any of my friends... and if someone gives me something I will NOT feel like I have to give back, cause if they do, they break our rule. During my divorce I lost a lot of tools, and I am gifting myself to resupply. I love books, and found a really cool one on Amazon which I own now... plus I have a couple for the grand kids when they come at the end of the year. The scarves are my luxury as well as I need one, cause mine are still somewhere in storage... no telling which box... beside, they are "just acrylic". My income is small, and it has to last for everything. I am not going in debt. Moni
