endorsements
The Society does not do endorsements, as a rule, however occasionally there are products and programs that The Society feels are worthy of recommendation to Its members.
Subject G, on behalf of The Society, recommends:::
on Discovery Channel
An interesting television program that is both educational and entertaining. And if you have boys in the house (any age boy!) they will DIG THIS SHOW!!!
Fresca Sparkling Flavored Sodas
This soda is DA BOMB!! Normally, I drink Caffeine Free Diet Coke. CF because I try to avoid caffeine in my carbonated beverages so as to not feel guilty about drinking full-on caffeinated coffee. I've tried three flavors of Fresca. I like the Peach-Citrus best. Sparkling Citrus (lemon) is a close second. The Black Cherry is good, too, but I get tired of it quicker than the other two. If you're looking for a diet drink that's a departure from the mainstream colas, you HAVE to try this stuff!
Dawn Direct Foam (I have the citrus kind)
Okay now....if you're like me, you would be really suspicious of a product the shows a computer graphic vacuum cleaner-foam jiggy in its commercials...but THIS STUFF WORKS!! I was amazed. Seriously. You gotta try this stuff. Click the link and get a coupon!
Okay, I was going to show you the excellent Dr. Sch0ll's shoes I wear, but there's no pic of it ANYWHERE! They have something called Air-Pill0 Gel and that stuff is SO COOL! I can wear these shoes all day without getting in awful pain. They simply rock! (even if they don't have an online pic!)
B00ne ® Week-Over-Week Wipe-Off calendar
This was an accidental find. I HAVE to have a calendar on my refrigerator!! I've tried lots of different kinds...even printing them off the computer every month with the appointments already on them. They were too small to write much on and I hated how they ended up looking after having to postpone, cancel or reschedule things. I wasn't really shopping for this kinda thing, but when I found this, I knew it was providence! Each of the four 'rows' are a week---the only thing "in stone" on them are the days of the week which starts with Monday so that Saturday and Sunday are together, making weekend planning a bit easier. Each week is separate, meaning it's like a strip instead of a big rectangle. When the top week is over, you simply erase it, move the other three weeks up and then write the now-fourth week's numbers and appointments and stick it on the bottom. You're never "in between" trying to write something for next month in spare space or sticking a post-it on your fridge. I love it. I think you might too!
There you have it. The most recent great finds that The Society feels It can recommend to Its membership. ;)

Cool products G~! Were'd ya get the calendar? My favorite calendar is the one that Flylady sells. I bought it a couple of years ago, and LOVED it. But haven't been able to justify the expense sense then. I usually just scope out the freebies, and make them work. But your reusable one lookd REALLY cool! Lemme know.
We rarely drink soda, But I'll keep it in mind for D, the next time I do buy soda!
(I won't get kicked out of the Society for calling it soda will I?????!!) (If so, take out soda, and insert pop in above comment!!!)

Hey, great idea! I love Fresca, too. Always have ... but now it's more refreshing than ever.

Linda, I found the calendar at W-M! Where else?!? LOL! It's in the office stuff. I really like it. I always thought I'd like to have the FL stuff, too, but never could bring myself to order anything.
This calendar is SUPER, tho! :)

I don't know that I'd ever tasted Fresca before, but they were sampling the new stuff in the store and the kids and I all thought it was really good.
:) Somehow it just seems 'better' to not be drinking something that's brown, kwim?!?! LOL! And yeah, it's a great change of pace when you need sugar-free stuff.

Oooh! A commercial break at G~'s!
I can't stand "pop", but I actually like (can't say 'love') grapefruit fresca.

LOL! Abby...I am a pop-drinker from way back, but after a longish addiction to mt dew *ahem* I backed off and then took up with diet pops. This fresca stuff just rocks my socks! Woo-hoo!

G~ take a pic with your digital camera of your Dr. Scholl's shoes. I need to see what you are talking about...Since you and I share the unforunate privilege of having diabetic feet...I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT A SHOE THAT DOESN'T HURT MY FEET! Ahem, sorry, I didn't mean to shout...
Posted by: Claire | October 27, 2005 08:04 PM
LOL! Claire, I thought about taking a pic of the shoes but they're um...kinda gross-looking after I've worn them for about three months.
I was 'shamed! I'll do it, though. It'll probably take me a couple days to get all the stuff off this camera! I've got auction stuff I need to unload too. A million pix. (well, ALmost!)
:)

I really need to look around more when I shop. I'm so guilty of just getting what I usually get and ignoring everything else. I never knew there was different flavours of fresca!
Posted by: mrs.diamond | October 28, 2005 09:11 PM
Aw man, Dia, yeah...you gotta check out the new stuff! Every once in a while, it's good stuff! :)
