[Link to the party again](http://order.tupperware.com/coe/app/!twx$eparty_ctl.p_dispatch?pv_v=invitation_view&pv_a=new&pv_eparty=3a1dbbf5479c8aaa43916c3b5d797da7&fb_source=message)  
That’s the link again. I’m not sure why the first not showing it correctly for **Soapy** so hopefully this one does.

When I click that link, it says Party Details and says Claryn’s Party right below that.

1. If you accepted the invitation, you need to change your reply to decline it. Only people not going to the nonexistent party can order online ( **Mama Zappa** needs to do this, as does someone else but I don’t know who and I’m not going to post the real name here). So, if you have no option to go shopping, you probably need to change your reply. If you look to the right side of the page, it has a list of party guests. If your name is one of the ones under accepted, then it’s you.

2. I don’t remember what 2 was supposed to be. If I remember, I’ll let you guys know too. 😃

Don’t worry, you weren’t the only one. In your defense, I’m pretty sure I never said you have to decline.

A question about Tupperware’s replacement policy: I know they have a lifetime warranty against cracking, chipping or breaking. In fact I’ve taken advantage of it twice now, sending broken or cracked items to Tupperware, and getting shiny new replacements in the mail - yay!

However, the replacements have been the current model or an equivalent product, i.e., I’ve sent broken old-style commuter mug lids and gotten new-style commuter mugs in return. And I’m not complaining! But now my beloved salad dressing container (circa 1988) has cracked its lid, and that style is long discontinued. Is there any way to get an actual replacement lid (short of hoping to find it on ebay), rather than the new style of salad dressing container (the Quick Shake thingy)? The container is perfectly fine, I just need a new lid. Am I out of luck?

Is [this](http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-TUPPERWARE-3-PC-SALAD-DRESSING-CONTAINER-OFF-WHITE-/160790767251?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256fe06693#ht_500wt_987) the one you have? I can call to find out if we can replace the lid but I want to make sure I know which one I’m talking about.

I’m confused. I see the “Visit Claryn” link at the top, but clicking it gets me this message:

How can I shop online and have the credit go to you when I buy things? I tried declining the invite, but I get no “shop now” option.

No, more like this: [http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Tupperware-sweet-savor-oil-salad-dressing-Shaker-/110890190126?pt=LH\_DefaultDomain\_0&hash=item19d192052e#ht\_4125wt\_1189](http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Tupperware-sweet-savor-oil-salad-dressing-Shaker-/110890190126?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d192052e#ht_4125wt_1189) Only mine has a terra-cotta colored top, and measuring marks on the sides of the container.

Oops, misread.  
When you click that link, it should take you directly to the party. You don’t need to click the visit claryn link, that just goes to my site, not the party. Unless there’s someone else who said no and has the same first name as you, you did submit your NO properly. You should see the “shop our gallery” button right above TupperConnect and Claryn Heath right below it.

I tried to look at the lid for the mold number, but it’s so small i couldn’t make it out, all I can tell is that it ends in -4.

Oh, and that egg cooker thingy looks awesome!

**Paula** - I looked through the obsolete parts and can’t find that (the whole thing or just the lid). I’m thinking that if you want to stay with the same style, eBay is your best bet. The good news is that they don’t seem particularly expensive on eBay.

**Antigen** and anyone else having issues - is the link working for you now?

[Tupperware Sweet Savor with measurement markings and terracotta top](http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tupperware-Sweet-Saver-/380446612768?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5894629d20#ht_500wt_1399). It’s at $4 and ends in 5 hours. I’ve seen it spelled Savor and Saver so if you look for it again, try both ways and you’ll get different hits.

Done - hopefully it worked to give you credit! It was a large-ish order (I needed a lot of stuff to organize the pantry).

I just emailed the email confirmation to the address in your profile, figured it couldn’t hurt to have the whole message.

I hope they gave you credit - it’s all stuff I need, but I might not have gotten so much right now otherwise.

Thanks, I didn’t see your message until the auction had ended but I’ll keep looking. And I plan to place an order through your party this weekend - I want one of those egg cookers!

These are just two of the many microwave items that make life a heck of a lot easier, especially for people with little space and time. Both are very small…  
> The spaghetti maker allows you to put water and pasta (any kind) in the container and then in the microwave. It requires no stirring or watching. When it’s done, you just pop the lid on to strain because the lid has a strainer built in. This makes it easy for a busy student to have a quick, healthy, and inexpensive meal without ever having to leave their dorm or breaking their study concentration! I just bought one of these for my step-dad because their stove doesn’t work but he loves pasta. My friend got one at a party and hasn’t managed to put it away since she got it because she uses it pretty much every day. You can even use it to make boxed macaroni and cheese!

Heh - we got one, for my son who is indeed going off to college in August. He’ll most likely have a small microwave in his room, and this will let him have stuff like ramen etc. there.

**Mama Zappa** - There was a problem and it was totally my fault (basically my online access was active when I set up the party but I forgot to reup it and it lapsed so your order was in consultant limbo.) I paid the whopping $3.50 to reup my online access and contacted support. So, your order is now actually showing up on the party and I will indeed get credit for it!

Thank you so much for the order!

Phew!!

We just found that a new bag of whole-wheat flour came with extra protein, which was flying around the kitchen, so I want to be able to get everything possible sealed up in plastic - hence the big order!!

Just a reminder that I will be closing this order in exactly 1 week (Thursday, June 28). So, if you want anything, please get your order in before 6:30 PM EST.

\*If you desperately want something but absolutely can’t order until Friday the 29th, send me a PM.
