Pure sugar can wait. However, I am thinking that maybe just one more bag of something will be in order...now, if I could just figure out what I want. I don't have anyone to help me eat anything. Sure, you and I must have the whole fix!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-39504368999859965362011-03-28T19:30:46.683-05:002011-03-28T19:30:46.683-05:00I did eat them...but Hubby ate some, so I'm ha...I did eat them...but Hubby ate some, so I'm having a hard time convincing myself that I don't need another bag. y'know, to be sure I get my whole Easter-candy fix. ;)Dmariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689601569495984413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-54471987692620060222011-03-23T01:20:03.749-05:002011-03-23T01:20:03.749-05:00I understand.

I will look when I get them out of the dishwasher to see where they were manufactured. I don't need trouble.<br /><br />The Anchor Hocking are monstrously heavy, almost too heavy for my hands. The Pyrex is very light...I take this as not a good sign.And, my measuring cup that I was using in the Microwave is Pyrex!<br /><br />Maybe I will call the company tomorrow and ask if I can trade my American-made Pyrex for foreign-made Pyrex.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-13693862550748066562011-03-21T19:52:57.455-05:002011-03-21T19:52:57.455-05:00Wendy,

When she got to the car after going to quite a few shops, her son had a coffeemaker or coffeegrinder. They looked all over it for a store name and found nothing. It was not a toy and not something they needed. They agonized over what to do. Finally, she concluded that no one did anything on purpose. And, she was not going back in and get arrested. I think they were shopping late in the day and shops were closing. So, she would have had to return, and it was Christmas time.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-56065031482669265022011-03-21T17:52:01.304-05:002011-03-21T17:52:01.304-05:00My granny stole something once, when I was a kid. ...My granny stole something once, when I was a kid. Can't remember what. Similar situation to yours, she found it at the car. Except when she took it back in to pay for it, they called the police on her! Luckily the police officer understood the situation.<br /><br />One of my babies stole a pair of mittens. He was in his car seat in the stroller and snagged them off a rack somewhere. I didn't notice until we got home. Never returned them either, not even sure what store he grabbed them in.

The company doesn't charge any less for shoddy materials and I will not support them again. Here I was eyeing a few of their other things.

Then, I recovered, steeled myself, and ate more. I might just donate these to a dinner that a church has every week, unless I eat them one at a time before then. I wanted Brach's but "settled" for Whoppers, knowing they would be delicious. <br /><br />Wow, $1.25! <br /><br />Yes, I suppose you all get a kick out of Linda talking to herself...LOL.

I am only addicted to seasonal candies & bought my robin eggs as soon as they appeared, but they were Brach's not Whoppers, so I didn't like them as well. Sure hope this post doesn't germinate another craving & send me back for the Whopper Robin Eggs! I found $1.25 in a coke machine when visiting someone in the hospital recently. My biggest coin find EVER!

I would much rather have the raccoon, candy problem, and fiasco at ATT to straighten out than to have the Pyrex burst. That is pretty dramatic and potentially dangerous. I bought two new dishes at WM, pie pans. If they are Pyrex, back they go. <br /><br />I followed the link that you or someone else gave, and some of these Pyrex pieces were cool and sitting on the counter. So, I want nothing to do with them unless they are made out of the country.<br /><br />Lack of excitement can be a very good thing.<br /><br />Blogger Linda, signing offLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-28253028229374023312011-03-20T18:46:57.269-05:002011-03-20T18:46:57.269-05:00Sorry.

The most exciting thing that happened was that my pyrex dish blew up in the oven, just hours after I cleaned said oven.
