Gotcha. I have heard of it as the other name on the web. Got it!
I looked at the video....it didn't even look like it made ice cream...is it just me or is it still liquid at the end?
Yes. You had the same impression I had. I didn't want to influence you right off the bat because you seemed pretty interested in it... And, as I said, I thought it looked promising with the screws... but, then, I dug a little deeper.
Well, if I helped save you a little bit, then very cool! The DQ Ice cream maker from spin master that is all over TV DOES work... we did hands on with it.
Things you should know - you have to crank for 10 mins. 10 mins. It's a bit of time...
It only makes a weeeeee tiny little bit.
But, it's fun (as turning and cranking can be for 10 mins
), but, it actually works and the ice cream is darn tasty. Really!
You're bringing a bit of your own ingredients, but, it really did work.
Throw some Target or TRU coupons at it... and its not that bad.
But, keep in mind my caveats above... If they sound like ones to you.
Thank you Ed for your advice. I figured after that happened that that's what needed to be done. BUT..... I called around all day yesterday until I wanted to pull my hair out and I came across the BEST EMPLOYEE IN THE WORLD! She called store after store and not only found me Ghoulia and Lagoona Blue but was picking them up at the other store and bringing them in to her store right by my house for me to pick up. I got Ghoulia from her this morning and she is getting Lagoona Blue for me tomorrow. That was coming in from a store even further away. Another employee she knew lived up that way and was brining it in. AMAZING. I called their customer service and gave her the highest possible compliment. She went so far above and beyond for me. I'll never forget her. She saved me so much stress and anxiety..... and money because they were 19.99 here and I didn't have to ship them of course. I have all of the monster high dolls now. My kids are totally not expecting that and will be absolutely thrilled on Christmas Morning.
By the way, I didn't even know Ghoulia existed until I saw her in TRU one day about a week ago. She is so neat looking. She is by far my favorite one.
I'm going up to the American Girl store next thursday to buy Felicity (who is already paid for with my CC, they are holding her) and Molly and Rebecca.
This week i'm also buying the Air Hog Hawk eye. AND THEN THE FOLLOWING WEEK IS BLACK FRIDAY!!! WooHoo
HAPPY SHOPPING!
Sounds like you lucked out! Good for you. It's nice to hear that there are people that still believe in customer service ... that are, ironically, in customer service. And that was a nice thing you did by making sure their good deed was known. Hats off for that one.
A certain box came today from Barnes & Noble but I can't open it because DH was home today. As soon as he is busy watching football tomorrow I'll be ripping that open to make sure that works and then I need to find the accessories to that (cover and light) then he is done.
We did a little shopping today and got DD12 the Glee Karaoke game for Wii. I can't put what we got for DD16 because she reads the DIS. I need to wrap the presents for my DSS9 and DSS6 so we can send them home with them after their Thanksgiving visitation with us so I picked up plenty of character wrapping paper today - Spongebob, Toy Story, Cars and already had Scooby Doo and Mickey Mouse at home.
Ed - do you know of any good deals on gaming computers for Black Friday? DD16 and DD12 love to play Sims 3 and Zoo Tycoon and want all of the extra expansion packs but the computer they have just doesn't have the capacity to handle the games like that. The guys at
Best Buy told us that to upgrade the graphics card and memory on our old system would be expensive and suggested keeping our eyes open for a good deal on systems on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Any inside info?
There ya go! That came pretty quick. That was the ebay one right?
Gaming computers.. Mmmm... The black friday Best Buy ad is out and about.
I do see some decent stuff.
Being big shoppers here in this thread, I may not be telling you anything new here, but, remember... MOST stores will even match other stores BF ads! So instead of trying to get XYZ at store ABC, consider getting it at FGH!
And were you looking for a desktop or laptop? And how much of a "real" gaming computer? How much of a budget?
Real gaming laptop = alienware which was bough not too long ago by dell
And the best buy guy was right... Getting a memory and video card upgrade will help, but, will probably cost just as much as getting a newer mid range machine, so... he probably wasn't too far off.
Plan to do some shopping this weekend! DH gets paid today and I can finally pay for the items in my carts at TRU, AG and WM.
and the nice woman in toys put them on hold for me. I picked them up and also saw the cute Dawn of the dance Frankie Stein so I picked that one up too! They are $16.99 at my Target and I had a coupon from the Toy book if you spend $50 on toys you get a free $5 gift card. Bonus! The original Frankie Stein is on her way from Amazon and I'm still waiting for Wal-mart to process my order for Draculaura. I'm so glad I don't have to search for these anymore ;-)

I so know how you feel. My youngest has 3 large Santa wishes on his list (for Santa to choose from, he doesn't expect all three though he wouldn't turn that down LOL) not one of them is terribly practical for him *sigh* He is so small and he wants a go kart, he wants a treehouse but we don't have a single good "treehouse" type tree, he wants a motorcycle or dirtbike (not a Power Wheels, mind you, a REAL one! And he wants to ride it on the highway 
Oh, wait, no! I'm DONE shopping for the girl! 
)
