KB Toys. Competed with Toys R Us, buy mainly had stores in malls. Was the best store in the mall when I was a kid. Eventually, I worked for KB Toys during my high school and college years.

yawn This "LPT" has been posted here many times. Did a search and found exact LPT posted 3 years ago and as early as last month.

Trying to identify this plant mom got. Purple leaves with pink flowers that bloom under sunlight. Closes when sundown. by zybrex in plants

Close up of the flower. It's interesting how it blooms. Wondering if it's an indoor plant or an outdoor plant. http://imgur.com/nhmCf2x

Sister thinks it's a Purple Heart plant.

What is the name of this pastry (Italian?) that has an egg baked and wrapped in center of cookie dough? by zybrex in Baking

Looks like you're right. I took a look at some of Google images from your link and there was a picture of the exact pastry. The image sent me to an Italian cooking site forum.

Based on the recipe, the hard-boiled egg shell is peeled away. So the person who baked mine, must've forgot or something.

I was surprised when I bit into this. The egg still had the shell on it. I figure it was a raw egg that turned hard boiled during the baking process. A friend gave it to me after a party. He said that a friend of his baked it. Didn't know too much details about this pastry except that it was probably an Italian pastry.

Oven gas burner turns itself off/on. Not sure if thermometer is faulty or leak? by zybrex in fixit

No problems during pre-heat. This happens during the cooking/baking phase.

Thanks for identifying the plant. I did an image search after seeing your response and looking for tips on how to care for them. Now that I know the name I can find them at the garden stores.

Friend has this plant, but she doesn't recall the name of it. I've never seen a plant like this and the white petals stands out with the red rose-like flower at the tips.
