Well, its free shipping, which would make since, since its already in the store... So I don't really see that as free shipping.. now if it were something that they dont normally carry or were out of stock on; then I would see it as free shipping..

Wal-mart Site to store option.. I just ordered something from walmart, that I can walk in and pick up anytime I wanted to. But I wanted to put it on a certain internet only account, so I had to order it from their web site. I chose the site to store option thinking that my local walmart would get a conformation, I would instantly get an email and I can go pick it up right now... no that?s not the case, It will take 2 weeks for the order to get to my local store, longer than if I had just had it shipped to my house. I mean really, that is just the dumbest thing I have ever heard... |

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THE FUCKERS AT DELL FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER:THE STORY: My work has opened up a Dell small business account (HUGE MISTAKE) to get a laptop. I have a very important trip in which I need this laptop before hand to put some information on. I speak with a sales rep at Dell, on 5/9, and plainly explain to him that I need this computer IN MY HANDS by 5/18. He said, "oh that'll be fine, I put the order in, there's 4 days build time and then 2 for shipping." The next day, I get called saying there is a problem with our financing. I think this odd since we were approved for like a $10,000 credit line, so I called the idiot sales rep back and he said, "oh it's fine, you just fell through the cracks where we are trying to update our systems" I am like, "ok" and we go on. I received my router in the mail, which was supposed to be packaged with Quickbooks program and guess what, I only got the router. So I log on to track this package and find out that hey--my computer is going to ship on the 23rd. So, I call my sales rep yet again, who puts me on hold for 20 minutes (LITERALLY, I have a clock on my phone that tells how long I am on it) and never gets back to me. I get pissed and call him back, who says, "oh my manager will call you back in 15 minutes" and THREE HOURS goes by. By this time I am absolutely livid, which ask Pooh, isn't fun, and I call them back and say, "fuck you I am getting a Gateway". Oh, by this time, the manager actually talks to me and says, "oh, your sales rep didn't mention that the screen size you ordered is actually on backorder, your computer will be another 8 days out. But I see here where you need it by the 18th. That's a problem then I guess, isn't it?" I am like, "yeah you idiot" and so mysteriously I hear him typing away and somehow, "oh, they have a screen for me" and they get it underway. I tell him that I had better have that computer by this Friday or all hell will rain fire and brimestone down on them, and he gets scared and gives me a free mouse, overnight shipping, and a larger monitor. FREE. BASTARDS.  "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." BOY AIN'T THAT THE FUCKING TRUTH. Sorry for the rant guys, had to get it out there.

PlayStation 3 has now officially launched in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, approximately three months later than the system's release in North America and Japan. Reports of the various launches from sources across the internet paint a variety of pictures as to the level of demand for the system, though on the whole the concensus seems to be that crowds were not overwhelming.In a surprise move at its official UK launch at the Virgin main location in London, Sony announced just before midnight that it would be giving all of those standing in line a 46-inch Bravia high definition TV--as well as a taxi ride home. The company ended up giving away some GBP 250,000 ($490,450) worth of televisions to approximately 120 new PS3 owners. WHAT THE FUCK MAKES THEM SO SPECIAL???!!!??? |

If you say that it looked suspicious then i say you can call ANYTHING a bomb. Hey someone left a banana on the washington monument.....CALL THE POLICE>>>>>>THAT COULD BE A PIPEBOMB.

For one thing, the guys in question were just doing what they were hired to do, put up the ads. If anyone is going to be held responsible for Boston's overreaction, it should be their employer(not that I think they should either). The best resolution would be for the ad agency to say oops, we apologize for not getting proper clearance before that, and Boston to say, oops, we overreacted, but in the future, please clear any type of electronic ad like this with the city prior to deploying them. Just my opinion. |

OK, so maybe scapegoat was the wrong word. But I don't think that the city should make these guys pay for shutting the city down. Vandalism, maybe? Criminal mischief, probably? But the cops made (and this is an arguable statement) a bad call, and now they're trying to make the promoters financially responsible for it. I also don't think there are any bad guys in this situation.Sure, doing something stupid in public should have consequences -- you don't yell "fire" in a crowded auditorium, and you don't shout "bomb" in an airport.

I concede that Boston "probably" overreacted. However, were it not for the actions of those two individuals planting those devices around the city, there would have been no need to place the city on high alert. Once the decision was made to close the city down the ball was set in motion. That caused emergency and police officials to be redirected away from other things they could be working on to address what turned out to be a false-alarm. A false alarm that was triggered by the two individuals. It's like, if you ordered a pizza and then decided to eat some cereal at your house before the pizza got there to save some money... you still have to pay for the pizza when it shows up (provided you didn't do the logical thing and cancel the order).edit: something didn't sit right in the way you worded something... I think it's the word "scapegoat." The city officials and other folks were just doing their job to protect people against what could have potentially been a threat. Are you implying they are the bad guys? Should people like those two be let off the hook with a chuckle and a shake of the finger while they all stand around and say, "you silly guys!" No. Innocuous though it might seem, clever terrorists would adopt similar tactics. |

I think the next publicity stunt is to claim that women (chesty ones, mainly) are smuggling bombs in their bras onto planes; much like the shoe bomber (which forces innocent Americans to now take off their shoes in airports). Then, just kinda hang outside any random TSA "security" checkpoint, and wait. Happily.In all seriousness though (not that I really take it all that serious to begin with), I think Boston overreacted. Sure, it may look like a bomb to those unaware of the HTF; but surely there is at least a single cop in Boston that would have recognized it. And seeking reparations just seems like a way to scapegoat these two individuals, rather than admit that they overreacted. |

What business did those two individual have in placing those items around Boston anyway? While people at large may have overreacted, I'm glad that the city responded in the manner that it did. I don't consider myself to be living in fear but had I been an individual not familiar with the ATHF logos, I'd be suspicious too if I found stuff like that in subways and other high profile spots. I understand Boston is seeking monetary damages for the cost of shutting the city down. Kudos to Boston.

Ok got something else for you guys. Pooh and I had an appointment with a financial advisor (a side step to get the house buying rolling.) We originally had the appointment on July 24th, but for whatever reason they called us and rescheduled it to August 1st, being YESTERDAY. So, I gather up all of our paperwork, which is a real bugger whenever you have two small children around and it's scattered around EVERYWHERE (because we have no file cabinet) and arrange a babysitter for the kids. Pooh has to take off work early because they don't take appointments after 4:15. Well we get there, and there's another couple waiting in the office and this asshole comes out and tells us that we have the wrong day and we need to reschedule. The other couple I am POSITIVE was NOT rescheduled and they didn't have shit with them (the only reason I mention this is because after I made the appointment they gave me this long ass list of stuff to bring and I worked hard to get all of it) and the ass-monkey reschedules US. Trust me, if there were some kind of manager I could talk to, I would. GRRRRRRR Luckily, our mortgage guy is very nice and very helpful, so he may be able to tell us somewhere to go that wouldn't screw us over. I'll let you all know how that turns out.

Have you ever tried a home perm? I periodically have to straighten my hair (I wish my hair would be straight as a board -- Lucky...), and it's hellacheaper to do it at home, and have Angel help me out. Granted, I don't get the benefit of someone who's been in the biz for 25 years, and I don't have one of those heat things, but it works pretty well. Usually lasts for a good month, and it's like $7.Appearantly there's something to the anasthetic causing perms to fall out thing Quote:Taking blood pressure tablets or having had a general anesthetic recently can cause a perm to loosen or drop out.

Ok got something for you guys.A couple of months ago I got a perm. I think in early May. Well it didn't take and a few days later my hair was back to being straight as a board. So I went back to the place and showed them my hair and the girl that did it was there and the manager (who supposedly has "been in the industry for 25 years" said that it was due to pregnancy hormones still in my system combined with the spinal block anesthesia (spelling, sorry) that makes the hair do that. "Ok", I said, "what do I do?" they said to come back in three months, when the anesthesia was completely out of my system. So, I come back a few days ago, get re-permed. (By the way, if someone googles "anesthetic and perms" post the results.) For some reason, they're still very worried that my perm won't take, so they used two bottles of the stuff, left me there sitting TWICE as long, and fried the ends of my hair. Ok, I go to leave and they try to charge me for the extra perm, and tell me that because I'm breastfeeding this one may not take either. I ask, "so if it doesn't, do I get my money back or do you guys re-perm again or what?" Nope, they won't do either because of "too much reprossesing" and "the money paid for all the service and chemicals used." So the perm's falling out AGAIN, and I'm out more money because I have to get the fried ends cut off, which will no doubt take whatever's left of the pathetic perm out. So there ya go. Sorry it's so long but I had to rant. Any thoughts? I know it's a girlie topic, but you guys think about a bad haircut or something, I dunno. |

I think its funny you brought up writting because I've been doing a little myself lately. I haven't started writing stories but I've been fleshing out the world like how the world began, the different races, a rough map of the world, mythologies, major events that have happened in the past you know all that kind of stuff. Just coming up with references I can use to write a story if I wanted to and it all be original material instead of using someone elses stuff.

Well to be fair...W&G is a good book, but yes I had such a hard time with it too.I read the gunslinger in 2.5 days, and drawing of the three in a little over 4 days...etc etc...it took me 3 and a half friggin months to get through Wizard and Glass Get through it man, it's worth it. Speaking of the DT series...Ed how far along are you? Pooh I am interested in writing some as well, maybe we can egg each other on

Ok. So you know that I'm working on a book. Yeah, I've never written a book in my life, but did a few short stories in high school. I know how to read and talk, so I figured I can write too. I may make some grammar errors and stuff, but that's what editors are for. Anyway, I saw an ad for a book by Christopher Golden called The Myth Hunters. It seems like a good story. Why this post is in the "Things that piss you off" thread is because while my book is not The Myth Hunters, it does share an idea that mine does. Without giving away any of my book, I will say that I have an alternate world where fictional characters are real. Please tell me that this idea isn't original. I'd hate to hit it big, and then turn into the Dante's Peak of Volcano. Now the more I think about it, the less my book is similar to Myth Hunters. Ok. Nevermind. As long as I don't read it, I'll be ok. Now my only hurdle is if I can keep the book at teen reading, or will I cross over into adult. I just might...I just might. |

Fuck Busy BodiesMost people that know me, don't think I'm a very religious person. Well the truth of the matter is there wrong! I am quite religious, I believe in god, I believe in the bible (even where I don't agree with it), and I believe I was saved. Now the thing that gives most people the idea that I'm not very religious is the fact that I HATE the church, in general, the people that go to church, in my opinion, are 95% busy bodies, and USE god as their scape goat. The people have lost, also my opinion, the true meaning of god, and what the church is supposed to stand for. They say things that make no since, and should probably be kept to themselves. For instance the story I posted, a supposed man of god (money obviously being his god in this case) spouting off how someone else deserves an illness, because the bible says so! OK fucktard, I believe you should have a stroke then, and I hope your mind stays intact while the rest of your body withers away, just so you can see how bad it really is. Also, I don't wish that upon this man in any way, as that would make me a hypocrite, like most the rest of the Cristian populace. This is not to start a religious debate or argument, if you have something to say that may start an argument, please tell me independently of this or keep it to yourself, peoples religious beliefs are theirs and theirs alone. |

When you're typing a path in Windows Explorer, and you mistype it, so instead of simply saying "Path not found" or something, it tries to look it up on the goddamn internet. If I wanted to surf the web, I sure as hell wouldn't be using explorer.Does anyone know how to turn that auto-search crap off? |

It pisses me off when fast food joints put my burger in my bag sideways, just to get it to fit.I love opening up the burger that is flat on one side with all the contents at the very back of the burger, and the soaked back half of the bun of all the juices. That's how I like my burger./sarcasm |

So, uh...Appearantly, if you don't want to piss anyone off by changing the traditional seasons' greeting to "Happy Holidays", you need to go back to the original trasitional greeting, "yo, saturnalia". |

i personaly think its better to give snacks and that present to the kids. I hate buying a $12 8oz can of chocolates from one of those fund raisers knowing that im only giving the place that needs the money about $2 an item.

Yeah I'll agree, that's exactly what "season's greetings" mean.Thanks for the input guys, that was pretty fun and didn't get ugly. AWWW FEEL THA LOVE!! Oh it's just my cat rubbing against my leg....oh well.Anyway, something else that is up for debate. This is more kid related, but those of you that don't have kids will understand because I am sure you were on the other end of the deal. My son's daycare is non-profit. Which basically means any money they get from parents that pay, goes to only pay the staff, bills, and buy more supplies. Which means they don't usually take field trips and they can't do just an overabundance of stuff around the holidays, like buy the kids presents or something. So, they ask us (parents) to bring a gift under $5.00 for the sa |
