Sunbeam MixMaster vs KitchenAide Mixer

So I want a counter top mixer.

I have looked at both Sunbeam (stainless steel photo) and
Kitchen Aid (the cool pink mixer).


















I don't know much about either of them. I do know that the KA is MUCH more expensive than the SB one.

Do you have a mixer? What brand do you have?? Would you recommend one over the other? I have to say, I do love the pink one, simply because it is pink. I have a cell phone, and I have it because it's PINK!! LOL! Back to my roots... I always loved pink as a child. LOL However, I don't think I can justify the COST for the KA just to get a PINK one!! It is for a good cause... and we are getting a nice tax return this year... hmmm....

I'd be making cookies, merangue, pancakes, that sort of thing. So... please, some comment love! :D

The most expensive toothbrush ever!

Hello!? I'm sure I must have read wrong. Surely it wasn't $44.36 to BRUSH TEETH!? Zachary went to the pediatric dentist today. Holy freaking cow!! The hygenist brushed his teeth... yes, I said brushed, NOT polished. She had him pick out a Mater toothbrush, and used SpongeBob Crest and BRUSHED HIS TEETH!! We were in and out and HOME in about 30 minutes. The printout for me/insurance said "polishing $44.36" yes, it said polishing. I told them that the charge was excessive, that *I* could BRUSH his teeth for $44.36! Give me a freakin' break. No wonder folks without insurance don't go to the dentist when they rip you off like that!! I'm feeling like it was FRAUD to charge that much for 'polishing' when clearly it was NOT polishing they did. Freak.
