Vegematics!!! I've owned two of them.

I've often told folks that one of the careers I wished I'd had (not forever...say 4-5 years) was Vegematic salesman at a carnival. They think I'm joking. I'm not.

Now I have to yell you..Although it's not a "Ginsu", the best knife I've had for years is one of those serrated blade things. Heather came into this marriage with a complete set of German Heinkel knives (didn't they build Stukas?) that a previous boyfriend caught as they fell off a truck. The cheap "Ginsu copy" cuts better.

The HAIRIGAMI! Thanks Spaw, that's the one I was trying to tell Heather about...let us know how it works.

One of my friends has a secret life. We were visiting a mall, and to our surprise there he was, demonstrating that "Oxy-stuff" Jeri. Naturally we were too embarrased NOT to buy some. It sort of works..just more expensive than the store stuff.

You know what would make a good thread? "Does anyone sell (or know someone who sells) Mary Kay, or any of those other Pyramid scheme things"? Probably not, now that I think of it..I imagine some cats have been scammed or are into scams (but don't think they are) and the forum's pretty friendly these days.

You can find a lot of Tony Robbins, and those diabolical Real-Estate, and get rich courses in pawn shops going for virtually nothing. Hmmmmmm, lots of "As seen on TV" Excercise machines as well.

I discovered a GREAT store here in Toronto selling ONLY "as seen on TV" products, and it's fascinating to open ALL the boxes and see what they REALLY look like. Biggest surprise? The little "Shocker" thing that cures Arthritis. Trying to think who shilled for it on the tube....ahhh EVIL KNEVEL! It hurts.(and I didn't feel any better)
