jap631 says "does the job" about Proform 925 Spacesaver Elliptical Machine

I am on my second Proform elliptical of this model. I had my first one for almost 4 years. After 3 years, the axel broke and my husband ordered parts to repair it. However, the wrong parts were sent twice. Finally it was repaired but the parts were still not quite right. The same problem happened again 8 months afterwards- the axel broke again. This time it was not repairable. So we bought a new one at Sears. This time we bought a 3 year extended warranty.

jap631 says "Best TP Ever!" about Kleenex Cottonelle Ultra Toilet Tissue, Double Roll, Unscented

So most people have a favorite ice cream flavor or favorite song. I have a favorite toilet paper, and it is Kleenex Cottonelle. Cottonelle is soft and thick. It lasts a long time. I like that it just looks like a normal tissue, without silly designs. The best part is the softness. Some of us are unfortunately blessed with hemorrhoids, and this toilet paper is the best for that condition. You can often find coupons for this toilet paper in the Sunday newspapers. If you use a coupon the cost is about the same. I buy this at Target but most stores carry the product....

jap631 says "Thick and tough to work with" about Peaches & Creme Cotton Yarn

The texture of this yarn is very difficult to work with. The selection of colors leaves much to be desired. The colors need updating. The variegated color schemes and other colors like peach and mint seem rather dated. The skeins are very small- one skein would make a dish cloth, for example. The yarn can be found at some big box retailers. I would not use this yarn for anything except making dish cloths due to the texture. Perhaps it is easier to knit with this yarn than crochet with it. I would use something else due to the thickness....

jap631 says "Very economical and easy to find" about Red Heart Super Saver Yarn

Red Heart Yarns are very economical. They come in large no dye-lot skeins. The yarns are easy to find, as many big-box retailers sell them. They will not be found at most "yarn shops" because the so-called yarn snobs do not like them (in general). I like to use Red Heart Yarns for baby afghans, other afghans that will get a lot of use, and toys. The yarns are easy to work with and come in tons of colors to coordinate with anything. Red Heart Yarns come in large skeins, and usually do not tangle though finding the correct end to start with can often require pulling out a bunch of the yarn. Sometimes the yarn feels a little scratchy, but it wears really well. Does not fade. Does not split when crocheting....
