Luckily, though she had fallen and was unable to get up, Life Alert responded quickly and the woman is expected to recover fully, though her Clapper may never be the same.

You need to have one worn robe style (like in the hospital with two of those lovely "nightgowns"). Yes, I believe that Clint wore the discontinued mocha color.

Wouldn't a blanket do the same thing (as it has kept mankind warm for centuries??) and then - why didn't I think of it first. I'm sure they'll sell tons of these!
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >>Wouldn't a blanket do the same thing<< Hey! Didn't you listen to the commercial? A blanket is *ooo-kaaay* but then the phone rings and you have to uncover your arms. It's an exhausting process that has befuddled mankind for centuries. And have you tried eating a bowl of popcorn or drinking a cup of hot coffee under a blanket? Impossible! It just can't be done! And then you finally get your arms and shoulders covered, and then your feet are sticking out of the bottom of the blanket, exposed to the elements in your living room!!!!! But thanks to the new Snuggie, you'll never be cold or hungry again! Thank you, Snuggie!!!

Originally Posted By Tinkerbell819 Can you imagine the poor kid whose family is sitting in the bleachers (at the end of the commercial) all wearing their snuggies? How embarrassing!

I did not hear about this on the news where I am at all! I hope this wasn't OUR Verna! Kinda sounds like something that would happen to her though. lol. I think our Verna starts with an "L" though. Hope she's alright. Love that ShamWow guy. So which came first, the Snuggie or the Slanket? And which one will my grandma like better?
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs Don't be dissing the ShamWow guy...the ShamWow absorbs all that liquid and pays for itself...you can use it for 10 years! You can't do that with an ordinary paper towel! Pffft, and I bet you losers boil your pasta in a *regular* pot instead of the Pasta Perfect...
