Is there a product you absolutely LOVE? How about sharing it with the rest of us? Not necessarily food or food related, but that's fine too.

On the other hand, have you considered investing in a pricey gadget but just can't make up your mind to part with the money? Ask LBT members for their experiences. Did it live up to its promise? Was it worth the money? Inquiring (and cheap) minds want to know!

Here's a little list to get you started....

GREAT DISCOVERIES:

Kozy Shack SF Tapioca pudding cups - 90 calories (sweetened with Splenda) that taste like 190.

Reddi Wip FF real dairy whipped topping - 5 calories per serving and so much tastier than Cool Whip

Adidas Body Wash for Women - smells CLEAN (not flowery) and rinses off easily

Any resale shop - bargains you won't believe, especially when you are changing sizes on a regular basis

chicken broth - use it when you make mashed potatoes (instead of butter or margarine), and as the base for your homemade chili, chunky soups/stews, etc

Yogurt covered Cheerios - a tasty little snack, right out of the box

Now for a question....

Has anyone bought one of those expensive Barista espresso machines like they sell at Starbucks? I am so tempted, but it's a lot of money. Do you use yours regularly, or is it too much hassle?

I am such a geeky, techy person. I can't live without my treo 750 or my laptop. I also can't live without tivo, peanut butter tracks ice cream (bad, I know) my hubby, kids or two dogs!

Now, y'all know I am forced to try the damned yogurt cheerios---as if I need something else to want to snack on!!!!!

One other thing I am very appreciative of having is my cell phone. I am going to be relying on it to spread news to the family of my DH's upcoming medical treatment again. I need a new phone...mine is old, and the battery is going to be more than replacing it with an updated model. Now------any suggestions for a phone? One to avoid????

Samsung just came out with a phone called the Jitterbug, which I think is a great concept. It's JUST a cellphone, no email, no camera, no games, nothing else. It's simple, to the point, and very well designed.

I've heard good things about the blackjack. I have the samsung version of the razor which I like, but for my next phone I think I want something that might combine PDA with phone, yet be small enough so that it isn't too big to just stick in my pocket or clip on my belt loop (of course I would have to have the keyboard and touch pen). They are doing interesting stuff with the slide outs and so forth and all that, so I'll wait a while as I'm still rather happy with my phone. Personally I always want more on stuff like phones.

The things I can't live without is the constant great support I get from my husband and my coworkers. Without them I would be nuts.

My Juki sewing machine. I quilt and this is a great must have. I love it.

DaVinci instant cappicino mix. I get it at Albertsons and it is only about 50 to 60 calories of yummy. And my doctor Scholl's walking shoes.

I heard that Samsung is very good.

i love samsung!! good phones, i have one now and I've beat the pastic off of it and it still works great.

Evilah

Jukis are the BEST. I'm envious!

Well, jumping lizzards aside, I could not live without my lap band. I call it my PAL as LAP spelled backwards is PAL>

Ok, first off, Carlene, you have convinced me, after work I am going to go get some of those cheerios and try them out.

Back to phones, as mentioned, I am a major gadget geek. I like having my phone, calendar, contacts, tasks, games, weight tracker, expense tracker, weather, internet, messaging, and on and on all on one device. That is why I love my Treo 750. It is smaller than the old treos, and I either tuck it in my pocket or clip it to my pants with a case. I also love watching tv on it when I am stuck waiting in lines and stuff.

I can not live without my kids they keep me sane.

I also can not live without my husband he motivates me when no one else can.

I also could not live without tivo

the computer

carnation instant breakfast sugar free

Thanks for all the heads up on the phones---plan on making a change tomorrow, I will be out of town for Memorial weekend, and need it to hold a charge for more than 30-45 minutes which is what mine is doing. It is an old Alltel phone---has always been pretty worthless!!! But at the time DH's employer bought it, so I took it!!! This one will be my choice though!

As for the cheerios, strawberry has never been my favorite---I will eat them as they come, the fruit itself, but anything strawberry flavored---no thanks!! So I only bought the one box, and it is packed away for our rally trip this weekend!!!

Thanks everyone!!

for all you vac nuts, I have a Meile tank with beater bar attchment--it is a Jewish vaccuum!! the only noise you hear is the sound of dirt being sucked up...the dog does not run away and the children love to vaccuum--they are pricey but worth every penny!!
