Of Pillows and Panties

 

Why are certain items so expensive? Is it because they know we need them, so we will pay the price? Take pillows and panties for instance. To me they seem very high priced for what they are, don't you think?

 

Think about it....most of the time they are either covered up or your eyes are closed when you use them.

 

Ok, I call them underwear. Not the pillows, the panties! I'm not sure if that is a Rhode Island thing or if it's just me. I guess mine are never delicate enough to be called panties. I buy neutral colors so they don't show under white pants ,they are large enough to cover the essential, ok, ALL the parts and ...go. under. what I wear.

But, that my friends, is a whole other post.

 

I'm here to talk about pillows.

They are expensive and pretty useless as far as I can tell. The only ones I ever had even a little luck with were the latex foam ones. But even those were never perfect and had to be replaced often.

I just recently purchased 2 "My Pillow" pillows and so far I like them!

They are a little different and have gotten mixed reviews. It looks as though people either love them or hate them.They are pricey on their website, but QVC seems to have better prices. I bought mine from QVC when they were a special value for 2.

You can put them in the washer and dryer and rearrange the fill to suit your needs. There are 3 sizes of foamy fill in the pillow and you can move it all around to make hills and valleys where you want them.

I fluff it up, make a dimple in the middle and my neck is supported and even my head stays put because there is support side to side.

The pillow has a 10 year warranty and they want you to wash and dry it every couple of months, so it is built to last. It is also made in the USA which in itself is amazing!

 

They even have PET pillows!

I don't need the pet ones as my dogs just lay across the human ones!

My husband has not complained about his and in husband speak, that is a recommendation.

So if your down pillow is too soft and your fiberfill pillow is too hard, check out "my pillow"!

 

Pigtail Food Flipper

Hate tongs? Fire too hot to get close to? Fork just not cuttin' it to flip your food on the fire?

 

Pigtail Food Flipper to the rescue!

 

I saw this utensil used on a western style cooking show and thought it was really neat. A few years later, a vendor was selling them at a local town wide yard sale and of course I had to try it out!

 

Dan, the BBQ King,( real low and slow and grilling style) picks up the meat and with a small turn of the wrist he sets it into the skillet.

 

 

The turner is nice and long and keeps you away from the heat of the flames. Sorry, can't help you with the heat you get from your significant other, that's another post!

 

 

The turner is very heavy duty and can handle huge steaks. It flips all kinds of food, not just steaks. It can handle chicken, chops, hot dogs, you name it, it is very handy.

I also have the small size for when Winter rears it's ugly head and you just don't want to shovel snow off the BBQ, or the snow is so deep, you can't find the cooker!

 

This would make a great Father's Day gift too. I meant to post this in time for that, but I somehow got sidetracked..

 

There is still plenty of Summer left,at least where most people live, so check out the Pigtail and grill up something yummy.
