  1. I hate it when my car runs out of control into a crowd.
  2. I have been to New Zealand, very good stuff.
  3. If you had 6 people (me and 5 friends) they might have a 20% min for parties of 6 or more. sometimes they do this for 6, 8 is more common That's called credit card fraud, call the manager and ask if they like taking credit cards because you intend to report them to the PCI Council and have them removed as a merchant.

    Directv?

    I had them for a while, dish was never lined up properly, kept blowing out of alignment, finally after the 6th or 7th service call in 6 months they wanted to charge me to have a guy line the dish up. I cancelled.
  5. Unfortunately I have the same name as some dead-beat in CBUS. Yesterday my wife and I both get calls on our cell-phones asking for me/this guy. I say "this sounds like a collections call and you need to know that I am not the guy you are looking for." The lady asks a few questions " are you married to yyy", "did you live in TOWNNAME" "nope" I have a few questions about this. How did they get both mine and my wife's cell numbers? How do I find this guy so I can get them to the right place?
  6. Nevermind, just realized there is an eclipse module.
  7. Go to a metro park, talk to ranger, release back into wild. Less expensive and better for the turtle.
  8. Anyone have suggestions for a Python editor for Mac. I know Python has IDLE as part of its install, just wondering if someone had something better.
  9. The greatest lesson the military taught me is to react, not wonder how I will react, not freak out for a second and then start to pull it together, REACT NOW!!! Get something going as fast as possible, and get everyone involved. This kid learned to react because he wasn't afraid to do something to help. I don't think we need to learn this from a violent movie but the end result here is that he learned what he needed to and applied it. I agree that everyone should have to learn what freedom actually costs.
  10. Will they be displacing Lowes or Home Depot, cuz just like giant eagle, kroger and big bear proved, we got too many already.
  11. I saw the PM, It tells me online when the next payment will autopay.
  12. I am a little confused, you actually were speeding and admit it. You just want a way around the standard system of punishment because you are better than everyone else? Or is it that you don't want your insurance to go up because, and get this, you aren't a safe driver? In either case, you need to man up.
  13. Can anyone give me the NPA/NXX for Columbus Verizon Wireless? I have a selenium script to write and 10,000 things to try....
  14. I called back and got a supervisor who looked into the issue. A human removed my credit card from my auto-pay to "try something". Not sure what, but it broke it and it wasn't authorized by me. They took the late fee back and now I have to wait until June for the autopay to catch back up as they cannot make it work in less than 60 days. On a similar note, my other account (I give VZW like $400/month in business) my son signed one of our phones up for a premium service that charged us $10/month. VZ's default is any jackhole can sign you up for this service (joke a day, ring tones, etc...) and you have to pay for it. If you have Verizon, go online and turn off premium services or call VZ and turn it off. It is ON by default, it is up to you to opt out. Or, sign up your ex's so they get charged the extra $10. Its a fun way to deal with odd behaviors in difficult systems.
  15. About 6 Months ago I changed my auto-pay from Visa to AMEX. Every now and then, it just stops working. I get a call today, "Why haven't you paid?" I asked the question, "Why haven't you taken the payment?" "You aren't signed up for Auto-Pay" I have been signed up for Auto-Pay for about 3 years, I changed from Visa to Amex but that is the only change. Apparently they canceled it and didn't tell me, then billed me for late payment. WTF? Only took 30 minutes on the phone, with a supervisor, to get my account straightened out.
  16. http://www.apple.com , just sayin
  17. The gas company is where you start. They run the line to a regulator on your house. Then you get a plumber to run inside to your appliances.
  18. wordpress was hacked today, good stuff
  19. I do the same thing. The 4 of us go to Hawaii every year. I fly all over for free, stay for free, cars are free... I just rotate for the thing I need. Hilton card til I have piles o points, then United for flights etc...
  20. reception on the sea area - that's good engrish right there. I can see from the first email that they are scammers.
  21. I use chickens, apply at a rate of about 35 per acre, you will have the greenest grass you have ever seen.
  22. Huge database breach at a major marketing company (Epsilon). Be aware of people that know you are customers of various companies, asking for information they shouldn't be.
  23. I have been the most pleased with Gahanna Animal Hospital and the vet in West Jeff.
  24. Any of the multi-level stuff. Silpada, Avon, etc.... My wife was a web application developer for a bank, from home. I am a corporate IT security geek, from home (not fair, actually from airports all over the US) If she has no specific skill-set, she is pretty limited.
