don't buy anything from Video Professor, dude screws the hell out of you

like you have 10 days to ship your stuff back, to get your money back if you don't like his product that he pleads for you to try, but the 10 days starts as soon as you order, NOT after you receive it, and some people end up being charged like over 100 dollars automatically, let me get the link real quick warning you about it

also the free credit report.com thingy screws you too, once you sign up they bill you monthly

Rain-X back in the day. Was the first thing from TV that I saw actually worked. Haven't really used anything else from TV.

I forgot that Rain-X was an add. I guess that is two items that I have used.

The morning that we were leaving for our first Disney trip, it was raining like crazy. I pulled the vehicle into the garage and put rain-x on the windsheild. It rained all the way to Florida but I never turned the wipers on. :D

I have never bought anything from a TV Infomercial or from a phone solicitor. However, someone gave us a George Foreman Grill as a Christmas gift one time and I actually like it. I'm pretty sure they sell it in stores now, but at the time we got it they didn't.

nope, prepping to take Hos on in a fistfight

Well, at least you just plan on taking him on and you don't have any delusions of actually beating him. :)

You're entitled to one credit report per year free, from each agency. If you wanted, you could do one agency now, then another in 4 months, etc.

I've used this before and it's no scam, just the credit report.

I love my George Foreman! I want to upgrade to the one where the plates come out, though. They are a real pita to wash.

I'm on my 5th or 6th batch of "Oxi-Clean", or whatever it's called.

It first came up with the Billy Mays stuff and I bought some. Now, they sell it at Costco. A batch from Costco lasts a year or more of course.

It DOES work as advertised. Takes out most any stain, a great cleaner for just about everything. It's a powder, like detergent, and you mix it with water according the the strength level you need. I use it in my car wash mixture, to clean up after pet stuff, floors, furniture, wood, just about anything..................

That's actually a good idea. I usually just get 'em all at the same time. It makes sense to stretch it out throughout the year. Hmm. I'm gonna do that next year.

Definitely checking it out next time I go to Walgreens.

So do we.

My brother has the Foreman bbg grill. I need to ask him if it's any good.

When you agree to their service you get billed monthly. The key is, you know this ahead of time. How is that getting screwed?

From what I hear, Girls Gone Wild does the same thing.
