Where else can you find a good chuckle, a bath stopper and a tazer all in one place?
I was looking this afternoon for a few things we need and I've gotten into the habit of checking Amazon to compare prices since it's pretty much a one stop shop. (and I was shopping for some weird things) I'll explain later*

I came across this review of an overpriced spa pillow, I used to have one similar and definitely have to agree:

I feel like such a little sucker., January 13, 2009
By G. Ferrandi (Brooklyn, NY)
Want to know what the secret to the "memory foam" this project boasts? Some of the "wicking" technology so prevalent in sports gear, perhaps? Or the stuff that makes the liquid disappear in diapers? Or the magic of those special "wings" in maxipads, for crap sake? Nope. It's a big ole sponge. It's a big ole sponge in a terry cloth cover. Terry cloth - which is commonly understood to be the sponge of the fabric world - wrapped around a big ole sponge. This thing soaks up about 5 pounds of bath water immediately and then drags those two desperate little suction cups that were supposed to hold it perched in place down to their watery grave. The poor little suckers didn't have a chance. And even if one of them does manage to hang on, the big ole sponge-wrapped-in-pseudosponge just slips off of it like a family-sized loaf of so much wet bread.
That was Sunday. Now it's Tuesday night and the loaf of bread slumped in my empty bathtub is just as wet, but really, really cold. Cold and wet and slumpy in the bottom of the tub. A real "Calgon, take me away" kind of allure... Want to know the secret to the "dry" in the "Microdry" this project boasts? Yeah. Me, too.
If you're looking for a gift for someone you just don't like this would be perfect but for anyone else, steer clear.
* In other news I was originally shopping for a tazer and a bath stopper lol an odd combination (and I definitely wouldn't recommend them together) but alas they are both becoming necessities in the geek household.
We've had to economize this year, meaning we only have one car that hubby uses to get to work so I don't have a car to use to pick up the kids from the bus. I don't mind the walk to the bus at all, but feel a bit weird standing there for sometimes up to 30 minutes. It's a pretty safe neighborhood, but still I just wanted something to give me an extra bit of security. I'd rather be safe then sorry.
And the bath stopper is just pure selfishness on my part ^^ I do enjoy a nice soak and a good book. I can pop this one on when I want a bit more water to soak in.
