OMG! What a great blender story! When you're not happy with your blender,

then life is not good... I recently bought a new one because the one I've

had for 10 years has a plastic jar and there was a crack in it. I bought a

Hamilton Beach from Target.com because I got an e-gift certificate there for

Christmas (Not a good gift, by the way... you can't go to a store and use

it - you HAVE to use it on-line). It's not my favorite - i liked my plastic

one better.

So WHERE did you get that for $40? Sounds like a dream!

Good luck with that! My husband and I started at the same time, and

while I've lost maybe 4 or so pounds in the last 5 1/2 weeks (but I

think I'm losing inches) he lost like 15 pounds in the first 3 weeks

or so! On the other hand, he is actually wanting to build muscle and

get more 'ripped' which he is really struggling to accomplish.

Stupid guys

It came from the place I LOVE to shop for stuff that's cheap....Ebay. I've

bought my Palm Pilot, Oakley sunglasses, mp3 player, memory cards, digital

camera, printer, snowboard, videio games, Gamecube, books, cordless phone, and

misc. other stuff on Ebay. I can usually find what I need cheaper there than in

a store. The blender was used but looks brand new. It came with all the

instructions, etc...just no box, which is fine with me (less stuff to throw

away).
