Which of you has a Kitchenaid stand mixer? I have been thinking about getting one lately despite owning appliances which duplicate most of it's functi - Peglegpete Nov 1, 11:40 12
- I have one, it's great. Maybe the only downside is that it and its attachments are pricey, so you should only get the ones you know will use. - Roger Morbo's good friend Richard Nixon Nov 1, 12:11 4

    - ebay, not only are the dealers low but if you are patient an individual sells auctions one with no reserve, get it cheap - zeiiiiiitgeiiiiiiiiist Nov 1, 12:32

- relative fame level is Ira Glass. -- nm - Reagen Nov 1, 11:28
- If I understand correctly, the complaints are about violence, not about nonsexual sex, right? So Chris Brown or Mike Tyson would be comparisons - ty97 Nov 1, 11:26 3
  - see my link below Toronto cops are investigating now as 3 women have reported him -- nm - Beaker Nov 1, 11:27 2
    - I saw it, but I'm still not clear if the complaints are about the violence (that was my original though) - ty97 Nov 1, 11:30 1
