.... what do you call those anchor thingees that hold up shelves? My mother-in-law broke those shelves (brackets???) that hold up the shelf in her kitchen cupboard. I'm going to head down to Home Depot so I need help identifying this item. (gosh, I feel so dumb)

  Thanks in advance.

Just say "anchor thingies", and do a little right-angle gesture. Close enough, and you'll get  "cute" points

sorry hun...riding the dumb boat too...LOL  I would assume that they are called shelving brackets
I as well have a question...
there is a song that I am looking for.  I saw a commercial on tv..it has a bald asian guy in a public bathroom...and he is standing by the sink...and he starts singing...all mellow....then busts into a rap song...and then another guy in a suit comes out of a stall and the singing dude gets quiet.  I think that it is an advertisement for a cel phone ring tone but I am unsure of what the song is or who sings it...help would be appreciated.

I'd take the broken one with you to Home Depot.  I do that now, as I'm sick and tired of driving back and forth to Home Depot after buying the wrong parts.  I have particular bad luck with plumbing pieces.

Shelving Brackets.

Miss Pitt got it pretty much.

You can just measure how long the legs are, or take the broken one it. I tend to do that myself. Then you can match it up, also I tend to get one of the guys that work there to go looking for it. I walk in and stop the first one i see, 'hey this is broken i need a new one' and look at him with a dumb expression till they go find it for me. Unless I already know where that section is.

but sometimes you gotta chase down those guys in the orange aprons.  they can be illusive.  I swear they hide from the customers.

as soon as you walk in, nab the first person you see, even if they are walking away.. or just walk up to one of them on the till. And just start talking, 'hi i broke this and i need a new one. my grandfather says...' They will call for someone to come help you just to shut you up and stop annoying them.

   LOL! It was only the cart! At least it was a memorable experience for them, the shocked look on the face still on the cell phone with the cart gone leaves an impression.

  So, uh, what time and which home depot are you going to? I think i need some more electrical boxes for the basement...

just take the broken brackets to your local Home hardware, Rona Home Centre, Canadian Tire and they'll show you were to go.
