Title: Best Thing Evah Thread
Post by: BEG on December 05, 2012, 09:26:01 PM
This thread is to post "The Best Thing Ever".  Doesn't matter what it is. I will start this thread off with Ghirardelli Pepperment Bark. Even if you normally don't like pepperment, you will love Ghirardelli Pepperment Bark.

I recently found soft peppermint puffs at Aldi. They are awesome! Just like when I was kid.

I got one to use in the motor home and liked the way it worked so well I got another to use in the house.  It had decent power and battery life.  Great for the little crumbs and such or as a hand held dust buster.  I am constantly amazed by the way it picks up dog hair with the roller/ power head. A great quick alternative to hauling out the big vac and a decent dust buster that actually works. :popcorn:

I just saw one of these at Costco the other day. Was wondering how it works with pet hair. I have lots of non-carpet floors and 3 cats, who for short haired cats and winter coming on, sure leave a lot of cat hair around.  :(

I hate dragging out the big vacuum and while it's awesome on carpet (it's a super dooper pet hair one) it seems to scatter the hair and it takes longer to get it picked up. The small one I had, doesn't have the power it once had.

The best and smoothest tequila I ever had. Not cheap, but it's worth it to me for a shot once or twice a month.

Quote
Jose Cuervo Tradicional Tequila Reposado 750ml

Type: Tequila

Size: 750ml

Rested in white oak barrels, this legendary handcrafted 100% blue agave tequila is still made with the same traditional methods that Jose Cuervo used when he first began producing tequila in 1795. The Cuervo family continues to proudly seal each bottle with the symbol of their family name.

I like to put it in my mouth, suck on it a bit, and let it melt.

Oh, I HATE the mall. I can't stand going. I haven't been in over a year and had to go to go to Bath and Body and Delia*s for my daughter. I'm not going back unless I decide I want to go to The Buckle, I love that store.

I have one similar to the one in the picture made by Shark. It works great on non-carpet floors and I even use it on my area rugs. It works well to touch up the bedroom carpet. It's pretty quick compared to dragging out the Oreck. Mine is battery powered, it's nice not to have to mess with the cord.

As for BEG's OP, the candy has very popular for the past two years, I was not a huge fan. But everyone has different tastes.

CG, I agree about photobucket.  I thought it was just me being a moron or something.  I posted two pics last Friday (my own camera, not internet pics), and it took me forever.  You can't find how to do anything!  Usually websites start clunky, and get better; not this one.

That was a ribeye in the picture.

My FIL tells the waiters either "just wipe the cow's ass and put it on a plate", or "just knock the cow out" when he orders a steak.
