Thanks for the info on the showtime Jen2882 wave
I was wondering about that as well. I know the theaters will be packed this weekend for HSM3 nod
I am not looking forward to that at all.

Last night...tons of screaming adults for Janet Jackson Whee
weekend, lots of screaming kids for HSM3!!!! bounce

I bet you guys hear those kind of complaints fairly often & are thinking...
we are not associated/affiliated with Fandango..they just sell our tickets...that's it. Issue with theater, contact us....Issue w/tickets, contact Fandango!!
They are a 3rd party vendor for theaters. laugh out loud


My favorite part is when people get pissed that we won't refund the $1 fee...uhm we didnt charge you the freakin dollar fandango did!

Oh this weekend will be a blast b/c not only do we have to deal with hsm3, but saw 5 and all the brats trying to sneak in. we enforce the r rating very seriously b/c we can get in big trouble if we don't and its a huge hassle.

I swear to god men are just dense sometimes (sorry inaa!) I made a comment about how I was sick of doing dishes and dh went into this whole thing about how i should buy paper plates and im always at the store (uhm yea twice in two weeks not all the time nerd) and i just wanted to smack him!!!

But i feel really bad for him, he was supposed to go in yesterday and get an epidural on his back for the pain and they didn't bother to tell him until he was already there the ins. won't cover it until Dec. 1 st Frown

So he has to go through this for another month. He's tired of being in pain and taking pain killers and being out of it, so he's really depressed about it. We're praying the epidural works b/c the next option is surgery. We know it's probably inevitable, but he's only 30 and it's really hard for him to be so young and have so many problems!

Quote from setsail :
Didn't want to clutter the deals thread with this but I was wondering what is considered "smash & Grab". There have been many references to that lately and I'm sure everyone's opinion is different.

An example for me is that I have to drive almost 20 miles to get to a Target that has the Horizon milk boxes so when I make that special trip, passing two other regular T stores, I will buy 15 or so milk boxes (some singles, some the 3 packs). This is one of the few coupons that I would use so many at one time. I've only used the Lipton 1 or 2 at a time, but that Horizon one is special circumstance. Am I the only one that doesn't consider this valid usage of a TQ to be "smash & grab" ? Embarrassment

That is a TQ, so I wouldn't consider that a smash and grab either, unless you were buying 50 at a time. What I consider to be smash and grabbing is going in a store and wiping them out, all the time. I think we have all bought too many of a product at one point or another, but when excessive runs are constantly posted in the deals thread, new people and lurkers can tend to think that kind of shopping is the norm, which leads to more smash and grabbing. What would be the point of posting that someone bought 74 reams of paper vs just stating that they just bought paper? My theory is it is to brag, but in doing so, others tend to think its ok to wipe the store out of paper. This kind of behaviour is what led HP to contact the CIC about the abuse of the q. Now, no one can use it.

And, contrary to what someone else posted, I don't believe it is justifiable simply because you donate to charity, especially if you are using coupons in ways other than intended. That is like robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Since the subject was brought upRoll Eyes (Sarcastic) (this is not to you setsail) I want to make it clear that I did not intend to hurt anyones feelings by my post the other day. I was responding to a post made in response to my post. For the past several months I have read over and over how wasteful we all are, and how we should be doing this or that with our stuff. That is all well and good, but saying it once is enough. Any more than that and it becomes preaching, and that is not what the T thread is for.

I want to go shopping.... Insane


My smash & grab is "trading" too many coupons and the expiration date is nearer and nearer. wave

Ideally, I need to go to 10 stores per day until 10/31 - Realistically, it's tiring just thinking about it... Evillaugh

OK, having a really sh!tty day for all kinds of reasons-- one of them being I somehow got water in my ear last night while taking a shower and it WON'T COME OUT!!!! So it's like my whole right side of my head is full of cotton and I had to teach my classes today hardly being able to hear my students or tell how loudly I was talking. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

[It's like I'm almost 35 years old and I suddenly forgot how to properly bathe myself??? WTH?? How did I got an do something like that; it's so stupid.]

But you two just totally cracked me up. Rofl2

Thanks-- I really, really needed that.

hug thanks for the response and don't worry, I wasn't offended. I do understand the concerns and the need for caution. nod
One of the posts I read about smash and grab had something about buying only 1 or 2 items at a time. Not going to work or apply for every instance.

btw, I LOVE that drama smilie. laugh out loud

laugh out loud buying one or two items at a time isn't worth the drive, depending on what it is of course. If its a 42 inch LCD, then maybe just 1.

Glad to help - Ok I totally have a remedy for when that happens to me with water in the ears. Get some rubbing alcohol and pour a capful in your ear. Let it sit there for about 30 secs and then tilt your head over and let it drain out. Dry your ear out with a q tip if necessary. Oddly enough, this ALWAYS works for me to clear my ears! Hope it works for you too!

Try putting a drop of alcohol in there or a qtip soaked in alcohol. The alcohol dries and takes the water with it or something like that. Our Dr. told use to do this for the kids in the summer because they were always getting swimmers ear from the water that would get trapped in there.

Thanks to you both. I'll try it when I get home. I was reading online this morning about all the different home remedies and I read about this--- but I was afraid to put *more* stuff in my ear. laugh out loud
