I do shop a lot on the internet various places. I like Amazon and Overstock. It's hard to tell true colors on the screen though. I even order spices and some flours online. Shopping is limited here.

A great place to shop for clothes is QVC. I don't shop there myself, but my mother in law is a QVC addict and she buys lots of my clothes for Christmas, birthdays, etc. She watches certain segments: Susan Graver Style, Denim & Co., and Dialogue. I now have clothes every color of the rainbow. Check out those segments, especially Susan Graver. You may be able to pull up some of her stuff on QVC.com.

Usually the publicist for a particular show will contact me and ask if I want to participate in a phone promotion with one of the show hosts. They usually will have other websites participating as well.

I am glad you found us too. Hope you enjoy the time you spend here.

That's awesome. How did you get to talk to him? Just interviewing him for the website? I interview people for a living, so if you ever need help, let me know! (hint hint)

I'm glad I found the site. It will take me a while to peruse the whole thing and get a feel for it!

Wow if I lived near Cal my bike would have worn a path in front of his house.

I don't know for sure about the showdown. I talked to Guy on the phone before the series started, and it seems like they have to tape around his schedule since he travels so much. Here's the thread about when it started. http://www.foodnetworkfans.com/forum...solo-year.html

Oh yes, the Cal Ripken days were THE days. I grew up not too far from him. I don't live in MD anymore so I don't get to see any O's games.... *sniff*

Do you happen to know if "Total Recipe Showdown" is still on? I loved that show! The FN shows I love the most are the shows I rarely see!

Do you miss Cal Ripkin on the Orioles? I miss him and I never watch baseball, the blue eyes ... and the rest of him wasn't bad either.
