My Garlic Press just broke.

I use the word "dealie".

[Food Network Fan]

"Thingy" for me.

[BerryBaby]

People don't use the word, 'swell' as often as they use to...that needs to come back. Very 'Leave It to Beaver-ish'.

[bluejeanz]

Even though it's passe, I still like the word "sweeeeet".

And did you realize that the word "cool" is still being used even after many, many decades? Each couple of years it seems to take on a little different meaning....but it's still the same word. I was a teenager in the 50's and it was, "Cool man" as we danced the jitterbug with our collars turned up in the back and our poodle skirts flying, LOL. Oh, yah, I may have a 66-year-old body but 'upstairs' I'm still a kid.

[BerryBaby]

I just hope 'out of sight' or 'right-on' don't come back. Those were annoying.

I'm a 60's child so we said 'groovy'. Drove my mother nuts!

If you are a 50's child did you say, 'you dig?' My sister is a year younger than you and that was her slang.

[Chefnot]

Am I in the wrong thread?

[Food Network Fan]

We have settled the business and we are waiting for a response from William Sonoma.

Killing time until then with important stuff.

[Food Network Fan]

Looks like I am out of luck. I don't have a receipt, or a local store, and I didn't order from the catalog so I don't have an order number. I guess I will just buy a new one.

Thank you for contacting Williams-Sonoma.

Oh boy, does this mean I will have to keep every receipt on things I purchase? I better make a huge filing system!

I do have a file system for all warranties, instruction books, etc. Maybe I will just add the appropriate receipts to those files. More paper!

Gotta agree with Bluejeanz, here. I've had my Zyliss "Susie" Garlic Press for about 15 years. Never a problem...I LOVE the little cleaner they include, and I believe it can be had for 10-12 bucks. Here's what it looks like:

I cannot recommend this more highly! All others, IMO, are inferior.
