I went to VS yesterday to use up my last SRC. They said the robe is white with grey wiring. That's all that I got... It definitely starts Thursday. If anyone knows more, please let me know. I've never owned a robe before (crazy, I know)

So, I was cleaning out my car last night, and stuffed between two old magazines was a SRC from December Frown Too bad I'll never know what it was worth

Ah, thanks for the info. I guess when I skimmed yesterday, it seemed like it was happening today.

That sucks about the Dec SRC!

With APO and FPO, you need custom forms. When we've shipped APO and FPO, it was fine without custom forms but note that it may go overseas.

Don't know about HI and AK. Haven't had to ship there before.

i'm not sure how dry conditioner would work... i can see how dry shampoo just sucks up oil, but dry conditioner? sounds like an oxymoron.
I don't think dry shampoos/conditioners would ever work for me. My hair gets pretty oily by the end of the day and I would feel yucky if I didn't wash it!

Quote from azn1x6flame :
I really hate how SAs are so rough in taking the sensors off. Ever since I got my shirts damaged at a couple of stores and had to run back to do returns, I always always check my clothing purchases before I either leave the store, or the mall, somewhere with good lighting to check! Mad
Sometimes I see the SA callously tugging at a stubborn sensor. Facepalm

Oh, also, in this same shopping trip, the SA left the sensor on one item! Good thing the sensors beeped as I walked out or I would have had to make another trip.

I used to do the "hole check" and it looks like I will have to start checking again. shake head

ah, thanks, good to know about the APO/FPO. Smilie

also, i forgot to check in here. i got the backless dress yesterday and tried it on.

i'm torn - it runs a bit smaller (i should have gotten a 4 - i'm usually a 2 for bottoms and a 4 for tops i guess, and the dress is fitted on top so go with your top size! i ordered a 2 unfortunately Frown ) - i was able to zip it up, but it was pretty tight. the waist was about an inch above my natural waist also, and it's pretty short (dress fell to a little above mid-thigh for me, which is TOO SHORT for a dress like that, imo!). the straps were tight for me as well, so i am thinking if the straps were more normal-fitting the dress might be a tad longer on me, which is good.

i'm not sure if i'm going to reorder it bc it seems it'll be too short altogether for me (but it may work perfectly for you shorter ladies!) but i really really LOVE the straps in the back. the teal color is gorgeous also. GH - i'm not sure if the gorgeous would work with that dress actually. the way it's cut, it may still show. you may need to find nu-bra stickies or something...

the fabric is a slightly stretchy cotton. it's not thick but not *too* thin. i don't think there will be any issues of being see-through (the only one i'd worry about is the yellow, but i think it's thick enough that it won't be).

Thanks for the info about the dress. I'm going to try it in black first. I'm going to go with a 4; I hope it will fit okay. I want the other dress ayoungpretender ordered already, the white one with Candice first.

Maybe you can do an exchange or something?

Gals! I have been without power for 10 hours now!! Everything in the fridge was starting to melt and get warm!!

A tree fell over on a house a couple houses down last night. Pulled down three power poles. I haven't seen those people, or the house since it was fenced off the whole day for tree chopping, but man, that's crazy and sucks! Good to have power again!

Just quoting randomly here, but I have a Bebe code if you're going to order. It's PIN only. They have $15 off $125 and 20% $250. Expires 5/6.

If you need it, let me know!
Being w/o power isn't fun. I feel for the people who had their home damaged. I hope no one was hurt.

I'll check Bebe's site & get back to you on the code. Thanks for offering it. hug

Quote from annicus :
totally! i'm not a huge brand whore - the most important thing to me is comfort. if i can find comfort in a target shoe, that's all the better! : woot:
I'm the same way. I couldn't care less what brand something is, as long as it's comfortable. I feel the same about purses. There's people in my family who can't wait to tell you about their newest purchase because of the brand name. I'm just thinking, "you paid that much for a purse, etc., just so you could brag about owning it?" laugh out loud Obviously, they're bragging to the wrong person. Stick Out Tongue Brand names don't impress me at all. Naturally, I'm not going to burst their bubble. I just say, "that's great" or something similar.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
Thanks. It's just hard to see/do anything at night. Didn't realize that I've grown accustomed to the humming of electricity from all our electronics all the time. It was nice and quiet and I've never gone so long without electricity!!
I can deal w/o electricity for a while. When it gets dark, it's time to look for a hotel. I hate being in the dark. It freaks me out, if there isn't at least a little light. You can't burn candles, when you sleep. So, off to a hotel I would have to go.

Quote from ayoungpretender :
Where I lived when I was a kid, we used to lose power all the time. We weren't really rural, but we were out of the way just enough to make us the last ones to get power back after major storms and it was sometimes days, the longest was about a week. I used to love it, lighting candles and using flashlights for everything. The only thing that really sucked was we had well water, so losing power meant losing water too. We lost power a few months ago, and I was kind of excited at first, but it got old pretty quick. I'm much more electronically-dependent now.
When I was growing up, we used to lose power, during snow storms. At the time, I thought it was fun. As long as we had lots of batteries to last all night. We've never lost power here, so we had "power out" nights when our DS was little. About once a month, we would turn off all lights & electronics as if the power was out. We grilled & played board games. We all slept in the living room on the pull out couch to conserve batteries. Wink I had to cheat & turn on a distant light to go to sleep, but our DS still thought it was great.

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
Mine did this the other day too! I cancelled ONE backorder and it cancelled everything. Not sure what is going on.
They really need to get it together. Annoyed I had no intention of cancelling the other back orders, because I really wanted the stuff. It was mostly shorts & a tankini. Now I have to go back through & see what they cancelled, so I can reorder.

Anni is especially interested in this I'm sure.


Folica $10 off $20 with code MAY10
Thanks, I love these codes. woot

That's a good idea. It's really annoying to get home & realize they didn't remove the sensor at all. There has to be a better way of preventing theft than risking damaging the product.

Quote from kurips :
does anyone know if sephora.com processes debit card refunds for returns made by mail just like cc?



i have a small caboodle too, that is not being used :lol :
Yes, I always use a debit card, & they process it like a CC.

I don't know for sure, but I'm thinking APO & FPO boxes have delayed delivery. He/she may not want shipping complaints. It probably costs more to ship to Hawaii & Alaska, unless you ship via USPS 1st Class or Priority Mail Flat Rate. If it's light enough for 1st class or would ship via PMFR anyway, it really doesn't make sense.
