RETIRED: Target Chit Chat

Does anyone know how to do the Pottery Barn hidden deals? I really want to get the advent house for $44.99, but of course I can't figure out how to do it! I would SO appreciate the help!

I think you type 68- then the item number in the search box.

Thanks...I tried that and it's still not working. I am getting bummed. Maybe I should go to Target to cheer up.

You should I just checked are you looking at the tree one....it is sold out.

Ariel- She did not cuss in front of DD this last time, otherwise heads would be rolling and I would not be posting. I would be in jail for physical assault on a target beyotch!

busy morning at Target. Had the ultimate windshield run today. Picked up Santa Claus 1, because we have 2 and 3 but never got one. It's priced at 10.00, and I had one q left. Also got Mama Mia..We're making spaghetti tonight, curling up and watching it. It was the least I could do to buy it

Well, I have to work so either way I gotta go out. I figure I'll leave early and hit the T on the way to work. Dh was out earlier and told me it was icy I HATE ice!

I was going to work last week monday when it was all icy out and i was in the far left turn lane(two turn lane intersection) and i go to put on my brakes and my car just starts sliding and will not stop...i'm like oh shit oh shit b/c i have no where to go but into other cars...well my car ended up turning completely sideways and stopped with my car like a foot from the car in front of me and a foot from the car on the side of me. I was totally cool until i was able to get my car back right and make my turn and then i was a total mess. I was bawling like a baby and shaking so hard i could barely keep my foot on the gas. Thank god i was pretty much at work.

All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy,
painless removal - the Epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the wax. Read
on..

My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner, and play
with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for
the next few hours:

'Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet.' So I headed to
the site of my demise: the bathroom.

It was one of those 'cold wax' kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just
rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and
press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off.

No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am
mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)

So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each other stuck
together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I get out the
hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees.

('Cold wax,' yeah.. Right!) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin
around it tight and pull. IT WORKS!

Ok, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this! Hair
removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and
maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.

With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids, I sneak back
into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting championship. I drop my
panties and place one foot on the toilet. Using the same procedure, I apply the
wax strip across the right side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my
hoo-ha and stretching down the inside of my butt cheek (it *was* a long strip) I
inhale deeply and brace myself.... RRRRRRIIIIIIPPPPPP!

I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!!.....OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!!

Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip.
CRAP! Another deep breath and RIPP! Everything is spinning and spotted. I think
I may pass out..must stay conscious.. must stay conscious.

Do I hear crashing drums???? Breathe, breathe .OK, back to normal. I want to see
my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has caused me so much pain, with
my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph
over body hair. I hold up the strip. There's no hair on it. Where is the hair???
WHERE IS THE WAX????

Slyly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see the hair. The
hair that should be on the strip.. It's not!! I touch. I am touching wax.

I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now covered
in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG mistake... remember my
foot is still propped upon the toilet? I know I need to do something. So I put
my foot down.

Sealed shut! My butt is sealed shut. Sealed shut!

I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do next and
think to myself 'Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head may pop off!'
What can I do to melt the wax?

Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!!!! I'll run the hottest water I can stand into
the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax should melt and I
can gently wipe it off, right???? *WRONG!!!!!!!*

I get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than that used to torture
prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit.

Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued together, is
having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub..in scalding
hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax.

So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of t he tub as though I had cemented myself to
the porcelain!!! God bless the man who had convinced me a few months ago to have
a phone put in the bathroom!!!!!

I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some secret of
how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation starter 'So, my butt and
hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!'

There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but she
does try to hide her laughter from me. She wants to know exactly where the wax
is located, 'are we talking cheeks or hole or hoo-ha?'

She's laughing out loud by now... I can hear her. I give her the rundown and she
suggests I call the number on the side of the box.

YEAH!!!! RIGHT!!!! I should be the joke of someone else's night.

While we go through the various solutions, I resort to trying to scrape the wax
off with a razor. Nothing feels better than having your girlie goodies covered
in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then dry-shaving
the sticky wax off!!!!

By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty
sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event.

My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving grace..the
lotion they give you to remove the excess wax. What do I really have to lose at
this point? I rub some on and OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!

The scream probably woke the kids and scared the dickens out of my friend. Its
sooo painful, but I really don't care. 'IT WORKS!!!! It works!!!!'

I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up. I successfully
remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my grief and despair..THE
HAIR IS STILL THERE..ALL OF IT!

So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts. I could have
amputated my own leg at this point.

Next week I'm going to try hair color!

Does anyone have copies of the brocolli/cauliflower coupon? If so PM me.

I just received my 4 shipments from Crazy 8, only to have my GF DD not fit any of the bottoms. I am so pissed. She usually wears a size 14 from Target, but I guess their stuff runs small.

No more TGIF snacks for her...

Does Target sell Organic Valley and if so, where is it located. I could not find it yesterday..thanks

I found this on another forum today and thought you might enjoy it.
