QUESTION:
I am SO SO suceptable to these tv ads, I don't know why. But the only good
cartoons on are in Spanish and I don't know any and I'm supposed to be
beading, not watching the screen to guess what's going on!
So...I am finding myself ordering a pain-relief system. A book comes with
these strips you are supposed to use which they have been reading from and
it sounds like some pretty impressive case-studies were done (although I am
totally skeptical that the inventor is correct about why the things work).
This has a 30 day money-back guarentee and the guy claims it should work
extreemly quickly.
So, here is the deal.
I am an idiot and have already ordered. I am going to try this for my
RLS and see if it works.
If it does, I will let you all know and I hope Kathy N-V and others try it!
If it doesn't, I will let you know and you guys have to make sure I send it
back for the money-back guarentee,
ANSWER:
My father often got sucked in by those ads. We got some good laughs out of
it; him included. The most memorable one was the magic weed puller. They
showed this lady dressed like June Cleaver out there, effortlessly pulling
up her weeds. My Dad was out there in his Old white t-shirt, sweating his
a-- off!!!
I learned to sew when I was waiting for my husband to get out of school. I
was working with a bunch of women that sewed.
I've gotten a couple of things As Seen On Tv (they miraculously showed up in
Walgreens where I worked for several years during college dispite dire
warnings that they would never be seen in stores), and I have been happy
with a couple (The Super-Chopper, especially in it's most recent
incarnation, is a lot easier to pull out and use then a real grinder and a
lot cheaper too, and Oxi-Clean works great on everything BUT laundry, and it
did so BEFORE every other brand started putting the same ingrediants in...
same with orange-oil spray stuff).
A couple of others I think I would've been happy had I been able to figure
out how to use them (a slicer set I gave to a friend who worked at walgreens
to borrow. When she made perfect fries and sliced vegetables as advertized
after I couldn't get it to do anything, I told her to keep it :) ).
On the other hand I really REALLY shouldn't be allowed my credit cards in
the middle of the night (since we don't have cable,t his is all that's on!)
I got a super-stripper powder for taking the finish off of wood for
repainting or whatever, restoring old furnature. Now, I like old furnature,
but we live in an entirely carpeted apartment, and I lack the patience and
interest to do the detailed work involved in restoring everything. To this
day I have NO clue what was going on in my head when I ordered that. But I
know I have been really close to ordering other things that were nearly as
useless for my needs.
We use it for whole chicken roasters, turkey breasts, and I think once a beef
tenderloin. Everything we have cooked in this thing has come out stomp down
delicious. It's moist and totally fabulous. I can't say enough good things
about it. It only has one set back - it takes both of us to get it set up and
half a dishwasher to get it clean, but we really do love it.
