I was able to print out the pre-paid label, now I just want to see how long it'll take them to credit my account. I tried to order the wider size, but they're all out. Luckily, I was able to find them for $11 less at Amazon; with expedited shipping (I need them by Saturday latest), it'll just about break even.

ita, I have one of the classic juicers - this is one of the high-grade versions of it. Mine's smaller, simpler, but works on the same principle. It's about the best if you're squeezing any amount of citrus fruit. If you go this route, get one with a stand and a lever - they let you put a glass underneath and use the lever to squeeze the fruit easily.

I've bought from Zappos and they were terrific about accepting a return.

And if sacrificing a couple of goats can placate an angry sky god, what - or who - do we have to sacrifice to have planes actually run on schedule?

I need an everything juicer. But I did research, like, years ago, and I can't be bothered to do it again now.

ita, I don't know anything about juicers, but I found this for you: [link]

Octopuses are very smart. They are easily bored and require diversion. So at one aquarium they hit upon a solution - give the octopus a Mr. Potato Head filled with smelt.

The article is worth it just for the picture....

That is SO freaking cool!

Toddson, how do you clean that juicer?

I know that locally - the zoo? - they had an octopus that they'd feed by dropping a jar with a screwtop lid filled with the food. The octopus would unscrew the jar to get the food. Obviously, Mr. Potatohead is more fun!

We have a crazy heavy old school juicer which we have used approximately never. It lives in the laundry room with the dehydrator we've never used to make bannana chips or jerky.

ita, the one I have (much simpler than the one I linked to) has a cone that you put the half-fruit on and a tray with a hole that the juice runs into. The parts that are used in the actual squeezing come out and can be washed. And I usually run a damp dishcloth over the rest of it, since the juice spatters a little (or, at least, it does for me - you may not have that problem). I like it because it's easy to use, easy to clean, and not complicated. Less strenuous than the ones where you do all the squeezing yourself.

Now I'm imagining an octopus using a juicer (orange halves in each tentacle).
