Deb, I got a 2 pack of salt lamps from Amazon. Hemingweigh is the brand. I did have a bulb that needed replacement and got a pack of replacement bulbs at Amazon too. They still have them in Stock Prime.

So I walked across campus to get some cold meds, and guess what!? The CVS doesn't not have a pharmacy, so you can't get the "good" meds with Pseudoephedrine. *sigh* Oh well, I grabbed a box of the other stuff and another box of Kleenex! At least I got some steps in!! LOL

Waving back @ Susiq!
What Linda said about the olive oil. Allegedly olive oil has become even bigger business in Italy and being controlled by the mob who are watering it down to make a bigger profit. The one I have is California Olive Ranch evoo. There are very few brands in the supermarket that qualify as true evoo even though they're sold as evoo. Just saw a Facebook post on this the other day. Several brands that I used to buy don't pass the test to be labeled evoo. Problem for me is the purer ones are a little strong & ive started to,lose my taste for evoo. For some reason it tastes like dirt to me.
100, the orange turmeric is just what they put in the muffins. They use turmeric & orange zest & juice. They happen to be vegan & they are so good. They didn't have any today as promised so they said they'd make some for Thurs or Fri.

Deb, my best friend swears by her lamp. I got mine this morning. $15 with a coupon for $5 off at BBB so it was only $10. They have really cool night lights (large for a night light) for $20. Just saw a post on these lamps on Facebook also. I'm pretty skeptical...but they're pretty, at least. I'll let u know.

Heading out the door for dh's doc appt. the sun continues although the wind has picked up. Our dog hates it and wants her daddy to go to the basement so she can curl up under his desk. Isn't going to happen. Have a great day everyone!

Here is an article that talks about the Italian olive oil industry. When I googled this topic, there were articles dating back to 1958 and the problems with Italian oil coming to the U.S. 60 Minutes show on Italian Olive Oil
Oh, and Bertolli is the #1 seller in the US and has multiple lawsuits against it for fraud. Nice, eh?

They didn't have any today as promised so they said they'd make some for Thurs or Fri. Thanks - I thought the orange turmeric was a separate purchase at the health food store! But those muffins sure sound good, sorry they were out. I'd never heard of the Himalayan salt lamps but after googling, I think I need one. Too bad I just bought a small lamp at Ikea yesterday for my office. If I had known, I might have tried one since I have allergies and asthma.

DebDoesWW,I did rest my knee after the injection yesterday.If I had known you were making a WM run for duct tape,I would have skipped Curves and gave you my WM list.The knee did not like Curves.I was surprised b/c my knee had been doing so much better.However the cat decided to sleep across my legs all night and I couldn't stretch it out. linda72,Where do you find that brand of EVOO?You also mentioned a Texas olive oil?I'm not using Bertolli but I don't think it's true olive oil either.

@beckyw2016 I get the California Olive Ranch at Wal-Mart and also HEB. Comes in a large dark green plastic bottle. I also buy the Texas Olive Oil at HEB. This company has a variety of types of olive oil, some with different flavors. The bottles aren't huge so I don't mind trying something new. Their website is: Texas Olive Ranch

I use the same olive oil as linda72. I used to buy imported Italian but heard the negative stuff and heard how good the California olive oil is. I buy it at my local grocery store and BJs (the big bottle that I pour into my smaller one because it doesn't fit in the cabinet!).
