I love these new products...

No, its just a big ziploc bag... with a convenient handle. It has a light blue tint and comes 3 to a package. BigLots had them for $3.99. I looked on the ziploc site, but couldn't find it...

The spacebag sounds pretty cool tho...

I've had mine for about a year and a half and as long as I get them filled regularly, I have no problems. I try to keep them relatively short though as well to minimize any issues.

May not be new to some, but when some recent oral surgery left me eating cold/soft things for a couple days, a co-worker suggested that I try Haagen-Dazs' Dulce de Leche ice cream. Now normally, I wouldn't have considered caramel and would have stuck to my old favorites, but I found it in a single serving size in the supermarket freezer, so I figured I'd try it.
It was absolutely amazing. I am going to get some to put on apple pie this Thanksgiving...

is their Dulce de Leche Frozen Yogurt Only 190 Calories in 1/2 a cup.

Funny you should mention that, SM. I found the FY at the store and bought that instead of the ice cream. With so many calories already to the meal, I figured it couldn't hurt to shave a few, particularly on top of the pie.

First introduced to it in Argentina years ago I was beside myself when I saw the ice cream & frozen yogurt... Now Luna Bars have that as one of their flavors!!! It just doesnt get any better than that!

I was visiting up north over Christmas and was introduced to wheat bags. Basically they are a cloth bag filled with wheat, and a pillowcase type flannel shell. You put it in the microwave for a minute or so. Out comes a nice hot pack! The ones I have, Mom made and includes one bout 8x8 for setting on your lap or curling up with at night, and a long one that is wonderful on the neck and shoulder muscles.
Some of the variations are rice bags (they don't seem to get as hot, or stay warm as long), and also adding aromatic ingredients such as camamille or cinnamon.
I never thought I would have much use for them down here, but these cool nights they sure are a comfort...and wonderful while sitting here in front of the puter....

I was also told you can put them in the freezer...hmmm an ice pack for the warmer months...

I think I might have to try that new razor. How much do they cost? What about the blades?

Bikini wax, OUCH. That's all I can say.

Hi Scubagirltoo:
The razor with a few replcement blades comes packaged at Walmart for 12.99 if you catch it on sale.
When the soap around the blade runs out, I just use reg soap. The blade seems to last longer then the soap. I still love the whole thing, and use it daily.

Where can I get that? It sounds heavenly!

From what Mom and my sister told me of them, they are sold retail. But what they essentially are is whole wheat, like the kind straight in from the field...in a cloth bag. If you are remotely handy with a sewing machine, you could have one from start to finish in about 20 minutes...

Now, if I tell you how to make them, am I posting in the wrong thread? Ya know like, Women's Views > Non Diving Realated > DIY LOL!!!

Get the wheat from the store. Use the material like what a permenent press shirt is made from. Cut it to the size and shape you want... I have one that is about 8 x 8 finished and one 5 x 18 finished. Sew it on three sides, dump the wheat in, do not fill like a pillow, if anything it should appear under filled. The 5 x 18 one has about 4 cups of rice in it .Yes you can use rice also. You can also use popcorn, but I would make sure it is NOT popping corn, LOL. Sew the last side. Make a washable cover for it with nice soft flannel that slips on like a pillow case. Put in microwave for a minute... enjoy..

[leaving now to reheat mine] Awwwhhh...
