Welcome everyone. A lot of you have been telling me you miss having friendly talks so here we are in my own little campground at SD. Come on in, pull a chair or a stump up to the campfire, and stay a spell.

This is a freebie site that has everything!!!!! The cool thing about this site is that they show you pictures of the deal (kinda like yelp i guess), and you can search by location (you can save your time and find what you're looking for around your area), by categories or by keywords

But, geesh! That texting is insane for that game. Three text for one cap, plus, you have to send an email text each time, then, there's a 4th text in response, for one cap! At least I don't get charged for incoming. I guess I can't complain about nearly free music.
The newer tracfones seem to charge for both outgoing and incoming. I need to figure out how to replace mine w/ one that only charges for out going text. My speaker is toast. There has to be a loose connection inside it somewhere. Sure, I figured out there is actually a headset connection. But, I don't like using the ear piece. That just pushes all the sound into the ear. (I just don't get people listening to head phones and they're across the room. But, you can hear everything clearly, as if it were a regular radio.)
I may wait to redeem the new codes for music. Just so I can do it all at once, that way, I should be repeating my self. But, it will good to find out if the site warns you if you already downloaded something.
These free songs will make up for when I missed out on the Pepsi/iTunes the first time around. I had a stash of caps. But, my operating system needed to be upgraded to use iTunes. I upgraded after the promo ended. I delayed, since my disc drive ejection had failed. But, I figured out there was a way around it. It was slot loading and not tray. But, I found there is still a paper clip trick for the slot loading.

I ordered one of the House of Blues jackets from me, a friend liked it and wanted one, so I got another jacket for him. I ordered a lot of music downloads from LN too. I also ordered a limited edition import of a Doors CD and some other cd's and cd/dvd combo, some shirts, and other misc, goods. I bought a lot of mp3 though to bypass shipping.
Luckily, the skunk didn't spray.
The neighbor accross the street was shining a flashlight on them in my driveway and they didn't run away when a friend pulled up into my driveway. My friend called me to tell me they couldn't/wouldn't get out of the car until they were gone. You could here to two animals screetching and hissing at one another.
Animal drama!

Looks nice and modern with the designs on the jacket.
Perhaps Snavem can chime in as he suggested he would when it arrived.
Anyway, they are redoing the layout of the store and there were some corporate wonks walking around with one of the store managers. Good thing because I made use of that to make a point as I will get to in a moment.
History: For a long, long time I have been finding expired products for sale in this store. Everything from moldy and/or outdated produce, dairy, eggs, salsa, cold food products, boxed cereal, baking mixes, bread, meat, and on and on. The problem seems to be rampid at this store and from one end of the place to another. I really need to watch dates when I shop there.
So I grabbed the sour cream and low sodium taco seasoning, and went to the dairy section. I found a lot of items dated August 2011 still on the shelves. Some of the same items had no less than three price tags (prices) on the same item which made me look closer and thats when I notice that there is an entire range of dates on the various packages of cream cheeses (fat free, low fat, regular, etc) and many packages are past the dates. I called an employee over that was walking by and he told me just to leave the bad date items there and he "would tell someone" which did not sit right with me. I found good dated items and put them with my sour cream and taco seasoning.
I carried a bunch of the expired items up to the three managers (or rather the manager and two corporate wonks) and showed them to the group and mentioned that this happens all the time. I find expired items through out the store and I have reported it to the store service desk, employees, and managers but it keeps happening. I told them I shouldn't need to check the date on every item I plan to buy to make sure that they are doing their job to ensure they are not selling expired food. The two corporate wonks were very appologetic, agreed with me, and gave the store manage a look like "we will be discussing this later." I hope it makes a difference. Selling expired items is just not right. I'm not talking like a day past the date either. I found Dole fruit items weeks past the date, milk and juice a week past the date (there's no way the milk was still good), moldy produce, moldy bread, and the list goes on.
If I had more options near me I would stop spending my money there, but it's on my way to and from work, in walking distance of my home, and I would need to go out of my way to go to any other grocery options.

Yeah, to say the least, you made that managers day. They get all high strung and worked up, just because someone (higher up) is going to come in. It's even worse if it's a surprise visit. But, your input, needed to be heard. Your complaints over time went unheeded. So, corrective action was needed.
As for those pesky multi-price tags... those won't be a problem in a few weeks. Since, there will be none. If they can't keep hang tags correct. I will be emailing corporate. As a customer, I shouldn't have to guess or walk to find a price scanner. I want to know the price right there and then. If I don't know it, I will probable not even buy the product. It's a loss of a sale. Pure n' simple.
Good for you on the whole letting the higher ups know!

A week or two ago none, and I do mean none, of the yogurt there felt cold. It all felt room temp or warmer and I am not buying warm dairy products.
As for the manager I feel for him in some ways, but had they cleaned up their act at the store I wouldn't have had to do what I did. If nothing improves now, it's a letter to corporate.

And the Steve Miller Joker t-shirt it quite nice but the Maroon 5 one that I got was er is one of the thin type of t's. Like the Coke (Coke/American Idol/London/Paris T's) - not like the Hanes for the freebie Coke Zero college ones.
But I've boxed those up for now as a friend gave me big bag of his old shirts. So even with the fact that I'll be doing the 'wear and toss' when I get to Russia, I'm still burried in clothes.
