(I'm the cookie Queen for my town's GS troops).<BR/><BR/>I must say, though, that the laundry detergent doesn't bug me. We bought a front loader when we finally gave up on the quarterly repairs to our "trusty" Kenmore machine (~5 years old and a piece of #%$&!). The HE detergent we must now buy is expensive and in a small jug. BUT, if you follow the directions, it does last. I think the first jug we invested in lasted three months. And yes, we DO actually clean our clothes. I think it's worth the downsizing in this case.KKTSewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14300483956686864167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23683658.post-18408952601208579092008-12-30T07:35:00.000-05:002008-12-30T07:35:00.000-05:00really grinds Agnes's gearssmaller than last yearT...really grinds Agnes's gears<BR/>smaller than last year<BR/>The Mysterious Shrinking<BR/>.5 inches or smaller<BR/>Does size really matter?<BR/><BR/>There's just so much here to work with I don't know what to do!!!!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017192454403363349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23683658.post-74629233135476359942008-12-30T07:23:00.000-05:002008-12-30T07:23:00.000-05:00One of the conversations I recently had with my br...One of the conversations I recently had with my brother was in an KFC outlet in Cairns. It turns out that the price of that particular meal was almost the same in Cairns as it is in Palembang, yet the size of the chicken in Cairns was about 3 times bigger than what we get here. So, its not even downsizing, its just small size!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542715899155247984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23683658.post-69222078231617697272008-12-30T07:13:00.000-05:002008-12-30T07:13:00.000-05:00Yeah, if you ever go to a home improvement store a...Yeah, if you ever go to a home improvement store and by a 2X4, you should measure it.
