Special price and best offers for Fruit, Cheese and Nuts Delight Fruit Basket

I was slightly nervous about sending fruit as a gift, but as most of the reviews for this basket were good I thought I'd give it a go and I'm very pleased I did. This was sent to my parents as a small Christmas gift, and not only did it arrive on time but they were extremely pleased with the quality of the basket especially the freshness of the fruit. So from my experience I would recommend this basket highly.

I sent this basket as a Get Well gift.My friend had fallen and spent several days in the hospital.I sent this fruit basket as a coming home present.He loved the fruit basket and he said it arrived at a perfect time.It made him feel happy and he said that everything was delicious.

I ordered a last minute delivery gift, and didn't realize until after the order was placed that it wouldn't arrive on time. When I contacted Golden State Fruit via Amazon, their customer service was prompt to reply and help me fix my error. They went above and beyond to make sure that my elderly aunt will receive her birthday gift on time. I'll definitely purchase from this company again!

Free and special price for Kidde KN-COPP-B-LPM Battery-Operated Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Digital Display

Purchased 2 Kidde KN-COPP-B-LPM to replace some First Alert units that stopped functioning before the 4 year expiration date.

The units work as expected. All mounting hardware (brackets, screws) were in the package but I didn't use them. My units are just sitting on a flat surface.

Just an FYI, the detector will emit a loud beep when you first insert the batteries.

This guy saved me and my family. I woke up in the middle of the night to this thing going off. The alarm freaked me out as it was soooo loud. This thing is ear piercing loud but that’s fine with me. After airing out the house I was able to go room by room to find the source. The alarm ended up being my hot water heater in the basement that was spewing out CO. I feel so much safer with this in the house. The Kidde Alarm prevented a bad situation from turning into a deadly one. I would spend the little extra on the digital display just so you can see what it going on exactly rather than waiting for the other one to go off at its limit. I do also have a non-display model on my lower level of my house.

Given that we have gas heat and fireplace I purchased the KN-COPP-B model 7 years ago. It just started chirping and after replacing the batteries it displayed the "Err" code. So I dug up the manual online and found out it was end of life. Not bad service for a device which kept us safe all these years. I put this in my home and in my apartments that have gas heat / cooking. I like the LCD display so that you know what the actual level is if you ever need it.

Cheap Squatty Potty Ecco 7 inch

I do a lot of backpacking, and when I'm in wilderness areas, I always pack out my toilet paper in a ziploc bag. You might think, "Carrying used toilet paper for days? YUCK!", but in reality, it isn't that bad. It usually only takes 2-3 sheets and everything comes out nice and clean.

I can't say the same at home. It often takes a few big handfuls of toilet paper. So, what's the difference? Diet? I may burn a lot of calories when backpacking, but I'm eating things like snickers bars and ramen. I eat much better food at home.

So, what does that leave? Position? Does squatting like an animal really make that much of a difference? YES... IT DOES!! And now I can do it in the comfort of my warm bathroom, much nicer than freezing my tushy in the woods!

My only gripe - you've made business travel worse. Now I'm unhappy that the hotel rooms I visit don't have squatty pottys!


To all those who are quick to "poo-poo" this and recommend buying a step stool or a similar device, I tried using a step stool in place of the squatty potty but found it cumbersome and bothersome. The step stool sticks out FAR greater than the squatty potty does and it has to be moved every time the toilet is used for squatty potty purposes. Trust me, using a step stool is annoying and a hassle. Squatty potty is WELL worth the small investment even for someone like myself who is on an extremely limited budget. Fwiw, step stools (even one step ones) are not cheap anymore. Furthermore, one last thing to consider if money is of concern - if you take an OTC medicine or fiber supplement/powder to help you 'go,' the squatty potty will make up for those OTC items in a relatively short time. It pays for itself.
Let's face it, sitting on a toilet isn't a truly natural body position for one to be in while using the bathroom. Only with the invention of the toilet within 'Civilized Society' did this idea and repetitive engagement take root as correct. The Squatty Potty positions its user to be in the optimal position while going to the bathroom. As men age one of the many health scares that we face are colon related. And this is something to be concerned with because of the continual rise in colon related health issues, cancers, and potential deaths related to the foods we choose to eat and the health of our digestive system. With the purchase of the Squatty Potty you will soon realize that you are acting in a proactive manner concerning the health of your colon (The core of the immune system), and subsequent digestive system. In this light the Squatty Potty earns its money the first time you use it. You can feel the difference in the form of completeness of the movement which is ideal to everyone. The Squatty Potty facilitates good colon health.
