    True. But my prices are better than Amazon, and I have 500 5 stars for shipping times. I have received exactly one negative feedback since 2001.

    NFL Redzone is a great station if you like football, but I hate when they split the screen in 4 instead of focusing on a play for one game. I have a decent size 55" Tv, but you can't really see well when split in quarters. I would rather see one screen/game and see another play 10 seconds later rather than see 4 plays live that I cannot really see.

    Your TV is obviously way too small. You need to knock out a wall or two and raise your ceiling and get a decent size TV. Then pick one game and just watch it. Or you can do what the rest of us do and watch Dallas and Pittsburg play on the networks, no matter if they have decent teams or not. Dallas and Pittsburgh annoy me.

    True, I need a bigger TV. I;m not sure how we made it through a Sunday watching TV in the old days when a 17" was considered a good sized TV. They need more than that to display the ads, stats, news, scores at the bottom of the screen now, which annoys me.

    I love it in baseball though when they show the exit velocity, launch angle, and distance though More boring info i need while watching a slow moving game.

    People that talk during the entire concert. The music was loud, too - so they talked loudly. You here to listen to the music or what?

    Our local Open Space org had a no-drone policy. But apparently as long as you make a "rad video edit" - it's OK to flout the rules.

    I suppose all those fuckers should just get off my lawn.

    A 14 yr old from our hockey organization took his own life last spring. We put a patch with his number on our jersey for this year.

    I just had a parent tell me they're upset I didn't ask their permission to put the patch on.

    The kids are 13 and are all well aware of what happened.

    I assume the parent in question was not the parent of the 14 year old, in which case, I second the motion to fuck off. How sad about the boy and how good of you to put his number on the jerseys.

    I'm not against it as a concept. But I am amazed that the system STILL doesn't know how to easily handle when you have your own bags. There's even a button for "I brought my own bags" but it doesn't work. The attendant wanted me to just start scanning, but start with heavy items (so the weight of the bag is insignificant relatively) and when I put the heavy item in the bagging area, put it in the bag in the bagging area. Except that then meant that every bag had a really heavy item in it, which doesn't work for fragile stuff. But when I tried to move a heavy item in to another bag, the system squawked at me.

    They have had these things for years now, you'd think they would have them dialed in by now.

    I think they put in the scanners to limit ongoing wage expenses. Doubt they’ll be spending periodically to advance the systems to helps us customers. They’re already making us do their job for free — and we’re doing it. They’ve got the food supply we demand.

    Both Walmart and HD have done away with the bag/weight sensor requirement. At least the is the case here in W2.

    It makes me sick to think about what this poor kid dealt with in his head every day.

    He was openly gay and really popular. Seemed to be as comfortable in his skin as you could possibly be in that situation. Really good family too.

    The upset over the numbers on the jersey might be because some feel like memorializing people who succeed in suicide encourages others to follow through with it, especially kids.
