    I posted this on my facebook page back in June that you just reminded me of:

    In sad new, Cap'n Crunch was recently found deceased just days after his promotion to Rear Admiral Lower Half was Announced. Foul play is suspected. This was especially shocking after the recent discovery of Toucan Sam stuffed and mounted in a local basement just days after a missing bird report was filed.
    Cap'n Crunch and Toucan Sam both turned 48 this year.
    Police have no leads but a cereal killer is suspected.

    My four year old was watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles yet again and I recognised the voice of Tress Macneille instantly as the voice of one of the teenagers from Dimension X. There seems to be a building blowing up every episode on the tape she was watching, and for someone who claims to hate the turtles so much Shredder should have blasted Michelangelo when he had the chance rather than tie him to a chair.

    Don't be so pessimistic. ;)

    I was tracking my Amazon package (MW3 game) last night and it said it left Nashville, TN and went to Louisville, KY (where it rested overnight after the long walk), and I was wondering why it went North before coming Southwest.
    Was there a better airport in Kaintuck?

    Oh, I figured that out. It was just funny.

    On another note, you're the one who purposefully moved to the craziest fucking state in the union.

    Whatever happened to "customer service?" I'm dealing with three problems with three different companies right now, two are shipping issues- turns out now 2nd day air means 7-9 days. And another is "item out of stock" even though when I ordered it the web site showed they had 19 in stock and I received an e-mail stating the order was go to go. All three cases have been met with "Yeah so what? What do you want us to do about it?' attitudes.

    This is where you start writing reviews. Companies monitor these like mad.

    There's only one company that I've dealt with recently that actually understood what customer service meant..they were phenomenal. Most other companies do the minimum to get by. It's a shame really.

    I always ran some type of side business, it's part of the reason I was able to retire early. I can't imagine dealing with a customer with a 'yeah so what" attitude. Well not and stay in business.

    Laptop was not working, so I took it apart, cleaned everything and put it back together. Now, it is working again.

    If you were shipped an item marked as two day air, and you have the receipt and tracking number you can make a claim against them for the reimbursement of shipping charges. Call up the DHL,FedEx,UPS --whoever and see what information they have regarding the shipping info they were given. Based on that, you can figure out who to blame and make a claim against.

    Well one company is telling me the handling time on their end is 3-4 days min. The other company simply sent me an e-mail with an order confirmation stating the order should arrive on the 17th, I'll be back in Mexico on the 12th which is why I paid for 2nd day air.. Neither have provided me with a tracking number yet.
     
  18. I saw a really great show last night. It was great because of the content and the writing....not so much for the acting/reading. I did thoroughly enjoy it and may have cried a little. I was in such a good mood afterwards, because it was good to go to a theater again and see a live performance, even if it was just a reading. Maybe I'll be auditioning for a community theatre show in the future to keep this feeling going.

    I just can't get used to the layout of the multiplayer on BF3. When I get sniped at, it's nice to know the general direction on the HUD from whence it came. :)
    CoD multiplayer gives me something that BF doesn't. Can't really explain it.
    Yes, I hate the trash-talking, Mt. Dew-swilling kids on there, but I can tune it out, or mute the really bad stuff.

    Eventually, I may get BF3, as well. I want to fly jets and choppers.

    My coworker keeps insisting that the color differences in people's skin is due to "melatonin".
    She's told her kids that some people have so much melatonin that their skin is darker and they don't get burned by the sun.
    I tried to help... It didn't work. But if that was the case, uncharted and I would resemble Crack's Nigerian scammers with all the melatonin we take :rolleyes:
