I guess I'm Mr. Dumass because I just ordered that freakin upside-down tomato tree stand thingy for my dad. I had seen it, like, a 'hunert' times and finally pulled the trigger (or just submitted to the info-mercial brain washing) I thought dad would really enjoy it. Gardening used to be his one and only passion, especially growing tomatoes

He can't get around much anymore and that thing would even fit in the sunroom and he would not have to step outside the back door.

Here's my sad tale......................................first the payment is "only" $19.95 but wait...........it's actually TWO payments of $19.95 PLUS S/H.............................when I call to order the freaking S/H is also another $19.95 !!! OK........OK...................

But that only gets you the basic set-up........then you want/need the 'special' tomato seeds, the special 'little green house' and soil to get the whole deal started........another $10 or $15 and you can't forget the special fertilizer 'wafers' that precisely fit into the little green house seedling cups.....another $9............................. so you can do the math on the charge to my Visa

So,...........I think I know, Iknow I just got hosed but the whole deal will arive, ready to go and my dad will get a kick out of it.

That is until three days later I walk into a local Wahlgreens to pick up a 'script and what do I see there in the middle of the isle...................................yep, that's right.........................a freakin upside down 'mater tree................................for $9.99
