Which Las Vegas grocery store has the cheapest turkey this year? -

I m shopping for Thanksgiving dinner, looking for a whole bird -- preferably Butterball. I m also a member of Costco and Sam s Club.

Albertson s has a coupon in their weekly ads flyer for $10 off any of their Villlage Market brand turkeys, if you would consider other than Butterball. I was just there. The normal price is 99�� a pound, so a 14-lb. bird would be $14 minus $10 = $4 (with a minumum $25 purchase).There was NEVER any butter in a Butterball turkey. It s just their brand name, it has nothing to do with butter. It just means it s tender I guess. And there is NO lard in them now. Where do people come up with these things????

Vons has them for $8 up to 16 lbs, $10 for over 16 lbs. Smiths has them for $10 for 16-20 lbs. Both stores require a minimum $25 purchase to get them at these prices.Regarding the above lard comment -- this must be an old wive s tale. According to the label, the ingredients are: Turkey, Water, Salt, Modified Food Starch, Sodium Phosphates, Natural Flavorings. If the FDA found out they were lying about the ingredients, they d be in a heap of trouble.

Vons has generic turkeys for $5 and up. Realize that the Butterball is basted with lard NOT butter

smiths has a $5 was there today.

right now smiths.

What is the name/location of the dinner show in Branson MO that the Duggars went to on 18 Kids and Counting? -

I caught as I flipped through the channels a few months ago those lovable Duggars. They road tripped to Branson MO. Their was a civil war themed dinner show they attended that I recall the servers marching and handing out rolls to the music. It was pretty sweet. II thought they called it Dixie Stampede or something.I was hoping to possibly road trip with my Wife and dad down there and catch the show. Can anyone who has seen the Duggars show and know what I saw please tell me the Name of the show and where it is in Branson? I appreciate it.

Yes, the show is Dolly Parton s Dixie Stampede Dinner Show, 800-520-5544

Where to bodyboard in Oahu? -

Hi, Im going to Hawaii this Christmas and was wondering about some good body board spots on Oahu. I m not experienced by any means, but have taken on some big waves? I m looking for something moderately sized but safe at the same time. Reef breaks seem to scare me, but thats all i can seem to find on Oahu. How dangerous are they if you fall all the time? The less crowds there are the better. Any info you guys could give me regarding this or any must do things in Hawaii. We are planning to travel other places than Oahu but thats all i really know where were going for now.Thanks.

Sandy Beach is one of the most dangerous spots on the island. If you are not an expert or local I do not recommend this spot for you. Boarders suffer more neck and back breaks on Sandy than any other beach on Oahu. The bottom is sandy, not reef, and it is VERY steep hence all the neck breaks. Remember that they measure waves differently in Hawaii than they do the mainland. So a 4 ft wave in So Cal is really an 8 ft wave out here because of where they take the measurement from. Makapu u is a much safer location and only a few miles up from Sandy. Go to Youtube and see for yourself.

A good place for inexperienced body boarders with samller crowds than waikiki would be kalamas, bellows air force base, or sherwoods, but NOT sandy beach or Makapuu, those places are only good for the ones who are very experienced at bodyboarding.yes indeed, one can break their neck or back from hitting the bottom, but a tip when being tumbled by a wave is to not fight it under water, just let your body loose as crazy as it sounds and you will eventually reach the shoreline safely in no time! be safe!

Waimanalo Beach Park often has a nice shorebreak, such that you can stand in waist-deep water, wait for a wave to be just about break over your head, jump up in the air, and let the wave carry you to shore.If you ve got a strong kick and don t mind paddling, Diamond Head isn t bad. Of course, you might get run over by surfers, who call bodyboarders names like speed bump .

Sandy Beach is a good Boogie (body) board spot. Also Makapu u Beach. If you are not a really good swimmer, I would stick to Waikiki. If you go to the Diamond Head side of the Kapahulu Groin, the reef and rocks are minimal.

Sandy s is definitely NOT a good place for a novice body boarder. Even Makapuu can be tricky. I d suggest Waimanalo.
