have you ever purchased something you thought would be great, but it ended up being a pile of worthless junk?

we just got back from wal-mart. two of my kids have braces and i figured a water-pik would be a good alternative/assistance to flossing (it's quite difficult to floss with braces).

i can't really say that it's good, can't quite figure if it's totally junk, but the kids have been up there having fun spitting the excess water over themselves and the mirror for about 1/2 hour so i've at least been able to nurse my headache for a bit.

I bought Dan cyanide capsules but he never took them - a complete waste of money!


Sometimes, ya just need to lend a friendly, helpin' hand ... bigsmile

I'm hoping to meet up with him again when I'm in London later this month. I'll see if I can slip him a few then!

I bought two batteries at the dollar store for my digital camera and I took one picture and they died.

You do realize that they only put that warning in there because they HAVE to.

Otherwise, some moron would sue them.

I'll see what I can do and will beat Dan mercilessly until he agrees to consider it too! Or until I get tired, whatever comes first!

Yes, one thing in particular was this sleep machine. It was supposed to help me sleep, but instead it did the opposite. I was up every 10 minutes. Used it once...totally worthless!slaphead

Sounds like that you had pretty well thought this out. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Before making any well-thought-out decison, ask yourself what part does a liquor store play in my decision.

Well many people make donations to political parties that DO get into government...

I once bought a water pick as well,
and I think I may have adjusted the
pressure a little too high.

Awwww.
You can learn to smile with your mouth closed.
You are still a hubba hubba, because we know
the one you have left is REALLY clean.

A couple of times, and they both had LOGITECH written on them. Never again!
