wjag Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 So I bought my kids Surface 2s for Christmas. You know the one; you've seen the commercial where the keyboard magnetically snaps in. Pretty dang cool. So they open them on Christmas only to discover that they don't come with the keyboards. On Amazon on Christmas day ordering two keyboards for 125 per. Ever commercial shows them with the keyboards and no where did the Best Buy add say keyboard sold separately. Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodork Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Ordered some inserts for my snowboard boots Monday night that I'm hoping will help with the fit, and on Tues. morning I got a shipment confirmation email (sweet!). Since the company is based in NY and they were shipping via USPS I figured they'd probably arrive today, except the package is STILL in "pre-shipment" (aka not actually picked up by the carrier)! Blargh. Edited January 15, 2015 by biodork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Concussions. Tuesday night marks the second time I have played out with d4rk in net. It also marks the second time I have collided with a large player and slammed the back of my head on the ice. d4rk, dear, love of my life, you are bad luck for my brain. Brain feels fine now, but all the neck/back/stomach muscles I somehow ripped in those 2 seconds that I don't remember are sure annoying. I know I hit the back of my head and woke up on my stomach, so I musta done a good spin in there somewhere. The worst part is embarrassment. I'm not a great hockey player by any stretch of the imagination, and I'm usually one of a small number of girls, and I just don't want the rep as the weak, fragile, wimpy girl. Dammit. I finished my shift, even though the ceiling was spinning and the ice was suddenly the deck of a ship in heavy seas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Since I only fill up my gas tank about every month and a half, I actually prefer higher gas prices. The little bit extra I have to pay is worth it not to have so many dumbasses on the road like there are now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josie Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Girl, you need to take care of yo' self... remember the advice you gave d4rk when he hit his head not long ago? I called the doctor to appease my freaking out mum (my dad even called from Ireland last night to tell me to get scanned). They said, nothing's available, but our nurse will get back to you. Gave them info of the incident, how i feel now. Just got a call, they are demanding I come in at 330 today. I asked if there was any way we could just do it in the morning tomorrow, nope, need you in now, not good to wait. So, another short day at work... (I left at 4 yesterday because the screen was hurting my eyes) Makes me nervous for my job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're no good trying to work when your head isn't right, anyhow, so better to get checked out. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I sat down in front of the computer yesterday to watch Rex's presser. About 3 minutes in, when I was starting to get extremely psyched for a new Bills era, I get a call from the car dealer, where my wife dropped off our car that morning for an oil change and inspection. $3000 in repairs needed, and I missed most of the presser.

pi2000 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Went to the Ducks/Leafs game last night. The ice girls are now cleaning the ice from one end to the other instead of width wise in each zone so I no longer get to see my favorite ice girl go back and forth repeatedly right in front of me. Tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I screwed up my own schedule and had to cancel something last minute. Thankfully I know the person but they still seemed a little annoyed at me. Couldn't get a reschedule til March. Little things like this annoy me.

Tragic. Wow. All complaints seem miniscule compared to this gem. :nana: I bought a car from the ADESA auction the day before christmas to replace my old car which is currently non-functional due to a busted tranny. My uncle has experience with the car auctions and was informing me on the intricacies of the process. Ended up purchasing an '07 Pontiac G6 for $4k (market value on KBB is 6.5-7k). Great deal right? One of the caveats was the title was attached, meaning the dealer didn't bring it with him so it would need to be mailed/sent at a later date. My uncle assured me that he had bought plenty of title attached cars and they usually arrived within the week. All good. It is now nearly a month later and still no title. Which means I can't drive my new car and have been car-less for the past month. Still waiting on the dealer to send the title - dealer indicated that it is Wells Fargo Bank's fault as the sale lien has not yet cleared. I just want to drive my car and stop taking the bus to work. F public transportation. Especially when I have a perfectly good car waiting to be driven taunting me at my uncle's shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told you to keep Drane out of your car, but you didn't listen. This isn't really a complaint, but more of a "what the hell is going on here" moment. I was just in the men's room and all of a sudden a guy in one of the stalls started laughing hysterically. I got out of there about as fast as possible.

Buffalo Wings Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Deflate-gate. I know...we all hate the Patriots (I do as much as anyone around here), but the story is starting to get annoying. There have been 6,957 Sportscenter segments to analyze whether or not deflating the balls makes a difference and I think half of the analysts say it does while the other half say it doesn't. The NFL won't do anything about it anytime soon. Even if they find that Brady or Belichick purposely had the balls deflated, they'll get a slap on the wrist at most. And I hate the argument that it didn't matter because they won 45-7...yes, it DOES matter because they broke the rule and did something illegal.

I'm convinced it was the Pats themselves that brought the deflated balls to light. I think they did it so that we would be talking about that non-issue instead of talking about a real problem, what they were doing against the Ravens. Reporting non-eligible numbers as eligible and vice-versa on the same play in a hurry-up?! I'm guessing there will be rule changes over this. And for that smug dickweed Brady to say, "I guess they should have read the rulebook…" That's not football, that's law, and it's not why I watch. If I want to see a match of mental gymnastics I'll put on Law and Order or rewatch A Few Good Men. My real complaint. Broke my foot. no cast or surgery, just a boot for 4 weeks. My hockey season's done. Here's another one, I'm tired of the GoPro perspective. I get it, I'm stationary and it's the world that's moving. Next.

My guess is that 19 of the 20 women would have banged Bill Cosby without being rufied. The Patriots probably would have won 34-10 without cheating....but sometimes you have to pay the piper. At least you should have to.....but this is the real world, so the NFL will probably put Kraft on the Rules Committee, sort of like how Uncle Cliff is now 1 of 6 Trustees of Penn State appointed by the Governor.....

If I want to see a match of mental gymnastics I'll put on Law and Order or rewatch A Few Good Men. I'm with you there. What they did was legal, but they did it in a hurry-up and even though they properly notified the officials, the officials didn't stop everything to inform the Ravens. My problem there is with the officials, but it's a sneaky (albeit legal) play by the Patriots that probably caught the refs off guard. Belichick is good at playing mind games - he's been doing it for years - but let's just play football. Line up 11 vs 11 and see who's better. There's no need for that BS.

I'm telling ya...I think Kraft is in on all of it. Spygate, the officials, deflate-gate, you name it. He & Jerry Jones are probably trying to win with their walletts and Roger Goodell is turning the other way (a la Bud Selig). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 My bank card was compromised. This is a huge pain in the ass. EVERYTHING is linked to that card. On top of it, I learned of this while in the Caribbean, so I had the pleasure of having my account shut down while I was away. My bank gave me access to the debit "side" of the card for a day so I could get $20 bills from an ATM, convert them to casino chips, and then convert the chips to $100 bills so I didn't have to travel with a brick of $20 bills. (No, the casino cashier would not let me do this the easy way. Yes, I made the casino pay for that inconvenience, in the approximate amount of $150 in craps winnings.) I had to launder my own money in four transactions. On the plus side, I was in the Caribbean for a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
