Today's topic was to have been the first topic for me when I took the apron strings from Grellis - but it had slipped my memory.......so now I have returned to it!

GRELLIS wrote: BizzeeMom suggested "Worth Every Penny," discussing items which our families constantly put to good use. I think it is a great idea--there are a lot of things other families have probably invested in (which would never occur to me) that are worth their weight in gold.

Let's have some fun guys and gals!

Thats my biggest problem. I want to find the best for the cheapest.
So, I will probably never get one because I am so picky.

I will check out the catalouge and see what I can find.

Thanks, I am almost sold!

Your parents must be so proud of you! (I read your profile.) You love cats and cooking...the perfect combination.

I currently can't use it, because it is 12 feet in the air and maneuvering the steps is currently out of the question.

Good leg goes to heaven, bad leg goes to hell. That's what the physical therapist taught me when I broke my pelvis a couple of decades ago. I still can't climb stairs without thinking of that little saying. Are you working with a physical therapist?

[Gabz]

I'll remember that saying :)

I'm not far enough along in the recovery process for physical therapy yet. I'm sure I'll be finding out about that come Tuesday when the stitches are removed and a supposed "real" cast is put on.

(and guns, but I forgot to put that part in)

I sure hope all goes well with that!

Thanks so much :)

Hey, dudley...hope I am not to late to offer a suggestion. I got a Kitchen-Aid, always wanted the kind Emeril uses. There are a number of models and the price you have is a good one, but I believe it is a smaller model. Anyway, I do love mine. But...one thing I do not like is that the top (the part that holds the mixing devices) does not lift up and prop back. It is a real pain sometimes getting the mixing bowl out and especially pouring things into the bowl. (Emeril seems to do it easily but I am always spilling my ingredients)

There is another brand,(I cannot think of it right now, but will look it up and FReepmail you), that does prop back. IMHO that would be much easier to use and I wish I had bought that. I am always using my mixer and that aspect makes it very inconvenient. Hope that gives you some ideas.

As to the topic of this thread: (1) Bought and use every day...well, actually my doggies use it - a doggie door for the back door. Saves me so much time going in and out with 3 dogs! And no more accidents in the house, either.(2)Item I bought that I love: my Pergo flooring that looks like hard wood. What a dream to take care of, how nice it looks, and much everyone admires it. Best money we ever spent - and not really that expensive.
