My mom does. I'm going home tonight, so I'll try to find some for you.

Thanks! One of the recipes I'm looking for the most is for jerky - both flavored and unflavored. I know way too many rock climbers, lol!

What kind of Dyson do you have? The reason I ask is that I have both the Dyson DC14 and the space bags, but the vaccuum nozzle doesn't fit the space bags! The Space Bags would come in handy for storing spare linens.

I'm not sure but I think it's the DC07. My nozzle doesn't fit them exactly either but the suction is so good on the Dyson and it sucks the air out anyway! haha.

I really wanted to cold heat to solder metal, (such as earrings, etc)

never got it because it probably wouldn't work

but the other day i was in at the liquor store and the guy had it and was fixing his daughters earrings and said it works great... now i'm not rushing out to buy it... but thought i might pass that along lol

Are you serious or just delusional? This is a message board. Geez, get over Tiffany, whoever she is.

Worth repeating.

Schizophrenia (from the Greek word σχιζοφρένεια, or schizophreneia, meaning "split mind") is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by impairments in the perception or expression of reality and by significant social or occupational dysfunction. A person experiencing schizophrenia is typically characterized as demonstrating disorganized thinking, and as experiencing delusions or hallucinations, in particular auditory hallucinations.[1]

To be diagnosed as having schizophrenia, a person must display:

A) Characteristic symptoms: Two or more of the following, each present for a significant portion of time during a one-month period (or less, if successfully treated)
delusions
hallucinations
disorganized speech (e.g., frequent derailment or incoherence; speaking in abstracts). See thought disorder.
grossly disorganized behavior (e.g. dressing inappropriately, crying frequently) or catatonic behavior
negative symptoms, i.e., affective flattening (lack or decline in emotional response), alogia (lack or decline in speech), or avolition (lack or decline in motivation).
Note: Only one Criterion A symptom is required if delusions are bizarre or hallucinations consist of hearing one voice participating in a running commentary of the patient's actions or of hearing two or more voices conversing with each other.

B) Social/occupational dysfunction: For a significant portion of the time since the onset of the disturbance, one or more major areas of functioning such as work, interpersonal relations, or self-care, are markedly below the level achieved prior to the onset.

C) Duration: Continuous signs of the disturbance persist for at least six months. This six-month period must include at least one month of symptoms (or less, if successfully treated) that meet Criterion A.
Additional criteria (D, E and F) are also given that exclude a diagnosis of schizophrenia if symptoms of mood disorder or pervasive developmental disorder are present. Additionally a diagnosis of schizophrenia is excluded if the symptoms are the direct result of a substance (e.g., abuse of a drug, medication) or a general medical condition.

295.3/F20.0) paranoid type (where delusions and hallucinations are present but thought disorder, disorganized behavior, and affective flattening are absent),

I do hope that medication is an option.

Is she even a real person? I mean can we be sure that this isn't the most insanely funny sock puppet of all time?

(I say that having wasted half a day in this exchange.)

I just want to know if the damn sheer cover makeup that Laura Ingalls is pushing works or not. I thought that would be in this thread.

So I just bought the flip & fold from an infomercial and I love it. Folds clothes perfectly like nothing else. I used it to save space when I spent time in France.

bIueangel, what is your opinion on the flip & fold? Could you ask Tiffany about it, too?
