| 418761 | 2006-01-07 04:17:00 | I bought the knives that cut steel 2 years ago. They are still working without a sharpen. The only thing that got me,was that later there was an ad for the same knives at a 1/4 of the price,that hurt. |

| 418763 | 2006-01-07 05:37:00 | I have got The Edge (TM). I'm now on the way to earn $400 000 per year. Thank you Tony Robbins! I did find step four difficult though: "Visit Las Vegas and place a bet of $10 000 on number 32. Repeat until you win big time." |

| 418764 | 2006-01-08 23:35:00 | o well at least I'm not the only person who watches them. Sometimes they advertise products for toddlers/infants/youg kids at an unholy hour in the morning and I'm thinking "what sort of parent is up at this hour waching infomercials?" | mark c (247) | ||
| 418765 | 2006-01-09 00:47:00 | We did buy the entire "MORSE" series on DVD from time-life. 2 episodes a piece. $39.95 each and 17 DVDs. Can now get them at Whitcouls in the bargain bin for $25.00 each. However, we are fans of that series and still watch them from time to time when there is nothing else to watch. |

| 418766 | 2006-01-09 03:03:00 | The silicone bakeware is pretty good, but you can pick it up at briscoes for a fraction of the price the informercials ask for - it does work, and is a lot easier to clean than metal bakeware. Got given some for xmas - I was a little nervous putting the thing in the oven, but it came out in exactly the same shape it went in, and the muffins were cooked, so that was pretty good. | Lizard (2409) | ||
| 418767 | 2006-01-09 04:07:00 | We got some knives too - ****su or kungfu or something. They are not bad for the cost. Only got them to replace another similar one we had for about 15 years. Haven't felt the need to cut tin cans or shoes with them yet, but go through tomatoes good. | wotz (335) | ||
| 418768 | 2006-01-09 04:44:00 | Interesting to hear about the silicone bakeware . Price though seems to be a bit of a con then . The Infos give the impression you're goiug to get a bargain if you pick up the phone right now! And then you find it cheaper somewhere else . Maybe they're designed to work on people when they're vulnerable, early in the moring or early afternoon . The first you know you should be in bed resting up for the next day's honest toil and the second you're guilty as because you should be at that honest day's toil . Consumerism by guilt wouldn't be a novelty . Anyone else? (Like the idea of perfume fly spray . What about perfume insect repellant? Be a hit . You could market that . ) |

| 418769 | 2006-01-09 04:49:00 | Most of the plasticware costs much less than $2 to make. The price is arbitrarily set at whatever the market will bear. $x9.95 is common. When you go to the $2 shop, you know what you are getting. When you phone the eagerly waiting 800 number, you deserve what you get. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
