omg i would love one of these what is it made out of? where did you see it? at Costco? Which Dept?

Found mine at Walmart. It was in the section for household organizing, one aisle over from the hangers, ironing boards, irons section, and it was just above the dish racks. It was folded in the packaging and hanging from a hook. There were a few different colours and at least two different sizes. Not sure what it's made of, but it's thick, but flexible and seems to be super absorbant. Dh likes it already (he and his daughter do the dishes that don't go in dishwasher at our house) and it looks way better than the plastic one did.

Hrm, I might have to keep an eye out for these...the plastic ones are such a pain in the behind to clean.

I just have to tell this story - so after the mall I took DS (2) to the library. I picked out a few pre-reader books for DD and then went to the toddler section (with blocks and board books) and let him out to play. It's sectioned off from the rest of the library so the kids don't disturb adults.

Anyway, were not there 2 minutes and this boy (maybe 5-6) comes over and says DS needs to be quiet. That he's reading and doesn't want to hear DS. So, I responded that sometimes young kids are loud but they can't help it but I'd try and make sure he doesn't scream. The kid became quite rude. Suggested "that baby" needs a nap or I should just leave. I was so stunned. I told him to go talk to his parent. He refused and said "it's my problem not theirs". Seriously? You're like 5! Why aren't you in school? Finally I just told him he shouldn't talk to strangers and to go find his parent and walked away.

I'm still stunned. Beyond the fact he was in the toddler area, NOT the kids area but that he felt like he owned the place and was so rude!

I looked for the parent but never saw them. Geesh!

Wow Lola! I wouldnt know what to say this kids, thats just rude!!!! My DS is 5 and he would NEVER talk to anyone like that!

I know right? I was just so stunned. I kept looking for the parent since I didn't want to deal with the kid - although thinking about it, the parent might have been just as bad. The kid must have picked up the attitude somewhere...

DD is 4 1/2 and she would never approach a stranger, let alone be so rude - especially to an adult.

I wanted to tell him to leave the toddler section if he didnt like the noise! lol. But I chose to just get away from him. Needless to say DS and I left shortly after the incident. Got a few books and went home to read and play.

Ya no doubt! I, in my head would have said a few no so nice words to the little bugger myself, but in reality would have done the same as you

I bought mine recently at Winners

[Anna Michele]

kids these days I like to think I would have kept it cool and been able to walk away but if theparents got involved it may have went down south, good for you for keeping your cool

[bargain_hunter_lola]

Anyone going to try for the Tims Tassimo deal? I've been wanting a specialty machine for awhile but I'm too cheap. lol. I don't drink coffee just the occasional cappuccino, hot chocolate, or ice Capp.

Not sure if its worth it... Especially dragging DS along if there's a line.

I guess I never realized there was an alternative this is great I'll be on the lookout for when I have nothing else in my budget to buy

[scbpooh]

Im not doing to Tassimo thing. I have a Keurig and thats enough for me! I know its been asked and speculated a million times over but I still have a feeling its going to end up being " Buy the 40 pk and get the machine for $40" and alot of ppl are going to get caught off guard!

Yeah, I think I've decided to not make a special trip. I might pop in tomorrow morning for a drink and see if they have any and what the promo is. If not, meh! Guess its just not meant to be. lol. DH drinks coffee by the pot so he doesn't want one. Seems silly to buy for just me if the discs are expensive.

Thanks!
