You found them! You are now my hero! Neither of those sites came up in my searches. Thank you!!
-
I know! They were the bomb! I think (maybe?) most people won’t know the drug association, but I will forever picture them being used for that! I did find some on ebay that I am contemplating getting, though I still think there has to be somewhere I can get like 100 for $20 or something…
-
Those were the days! I was just thinking about the candy cigarettes we used to have. Even my parents, who were pretty strait-laced, didn’t say boo about them.
-
I did. Again, small numbers for bigger prices. I could, and I did think about it, but I could potentially have to make 50 of them and I am not THAT crafty! Thanks for the ideas. I keep searching, and let me tell you the search for “roach clips” had some interesting links. Apparently they are also used for holding a joint when smoking! You learn something every day!
-
Aha! They are called roach clips! I had been searching amazon, ebay, and super fun sites like “Carnivaldepot”” and the like and NOT finding any. Now maybe if I search for the proper clip name maybe I’ll find some. But still, if you know where I can buy a bunch in bulk, I’d appreciate your help.

Anyone remember these? The feathers were hanging from colored leather and they clipped onto your hat or hair with a silver aligatory clip? Does anyone know where you can purchase a bunch? We’re putting on a line-dancing social for a bunch of girls and I was hoping to find a bunch of these. The ones I am finding on amazon are not as cheesy and are more expensive than I hoped. Looked at the Oriental Trading Company but they didn’t have them.

Anyone have experience with these, or have a recommendation? We’re taking along road trip this early summer through mountains, and I’m looking for help for DD who gets carsick. I’ve gotten some ginger chews, and barf bags, and she has those c-bands, but thought maybe I’d check out some patches too. I’m more interested in the natural remedies, so if you have a good recommendation for some natural motion sickness patches, or anything else you’ve found helpful, I’d love to hear! Thanks!

Does anyone know a good place to buy individual cookie cutters?
Ema replied to KidsHappen's topic in The Chat Board
Our T.J. Maxx has a number of them. Haven’t checked to see if you could get them individually online or not. -
@HomeAgain Thank you! Can’t wait to try them; they sound great! My kids each get to choose a recipe to make. Usually we end up making a spritz recipe, chocolate shortbread cutouts, regular sugar cookie cutouts, and a ‘wildcard’ recipe—sounds like this year it will be the gingerbread cookies! Then I make lime and gin macaroons just for my sister and me.
-
Did you pull it out? I’d love to try it, too. Ds really wants to make gingerbread men this year, and your promise of chewy-crispiness sounds wonderful.

What things do you call by weird names because of your children?
Ema replied to Drama Llama's topic in The Chat Board
That’s funny. At our house the Costco samples are “stampers,” courtesy of our now 8 yr old. -

Our now 14 yr old started calling off by calling an “umbrella” a “rainbrella.” All 4 kids and now both DH and I say rainbrella. Our youngest says “prayground” instead of “playground.” So far I have resisted falling into that pronunciation, though I did hear one of the other kids calling it a “prayground.” -
lol! I’ll check with DH 😉 Technological changes have always been frustrating to me, even though they are often for the better. I just don’t like the feeling of being told a technology which is younger than me (and I’m not *that* old!) is obsolete! Physically, I’m probably a bit younger then I actually am, but emotionally I’m a cranky 85 year old woman!
-
That is awesome! Thanks for the info 😊

I did look at some of those, and it appears that they connect to a separate Bluetooth speaker, not the car’s audio system. There was one that said it could connect to the car’s speakers if the audio files were WAV files, and to check before buying. I will keep scrolling through and reading reviews. Since where we are used car prices are almost as high as new, we opted to go for a 2023-2024 (not sure which it’ll be) Toyota Sienna, the Woodland edition. Well, DH decided—it was hard for me to give up the extra 8th seat. But it should serve us well for years to come. I thought about calling the dealership, but was going to check on here first, so I didn’t end up sounding like quite the clueless girl as I would without knowledge from you all!
