Agree. Mainly just the principle that a humungous corporation is ripping me off would be worth filling out an online form. More effort than that, no. The vicarious pleasure at seeing them get jail (no, I’m not betting 1 ct that will happen) would be worth $10 though. Absolutely astounding their attitude of them lords,…

What if you’ve already paid the $10 to freeze your credit? Since I jumped on this after your nice reporting. Equifax doesn’t appear to have any info how to get this refunded, or it’s nicely buried on their site. Their management needs to spend some prison time, especially the ones who sold stock.

My usage is even lower but probably doesn’t qualify for Kristen’s “cheaper but same level of service”. I don’t like being in immediate contact. I only use my smartphone for emergencies. I have a smartphone for using non-data apps or apps only over wifi. Free cell plan through FreedomPop.

You’d be amazed how small and thin the bones that hold your eyeballs and sinuses in your face and skull base are. OTOH, your skull is generally pretty thick. The bones you see around your eye sockets, cheekbones are pretty thick but if you land a solid punch, the force getting transmitted through those to the small…

You’re right, not a funny story from a woman’s point of view. It also would not be a funny story from a wimpy guy like me point of view if I was in that situation. It seemed funny from my current point of view; sitting safe at home behind a computer monitor on the internet, not face to face with a live person.

That’s a funny story instead of a bad thing to experience. Not to the guy of course. I’ve never been in a fist fight but I’m sure luck is always half of it. Assuming you’re not an experienced fighter.

Your story confirms my friends statement that the first punch that lands solidly on the face is the end of the fight. The movie fights where they punch each other endlessly is unrealistic according to my friend, an ENT surgeon who fixes the results of real world fights.

I ordered my Transit Van from the factory. It seemed no different than negotiating the price of a Transit sitting on the lot. Same rebates, negotiating, discounts. This was all done by email.

I completely agree, the Sale Price is listed and my inability to comprehend that or make them stop and slow down until I understood the paper and math in front of me is my fault. However, in retrospect, I can recognize the multiple tactics they used to make me overlook what was going on.

That’s pretty much what I’ve learned the hard way. I’m not coming in or talk to you. Give me your lowest out the door price by email competing with 11 other local Ford dealers. Feel free to add on your doc fees, advertising fees, anything other fee you want to fabricate but I’m going with the lowest price. This for me…

Absolutely agree. Been there. Plus the salesman is super friendly and nice and is your “friend”, you can trust whatever paper he puts in front of you. /s

I fell for this with a Toyota Sienna. They do everything to distract you. They wrote slews of numbers on the margins. Everything was done quickly. I couldn’t follow what they were doing with the numbers but felt stupid telling them that so I didn’t - (learning lesson there, I’m an idiot). They drew things out to like…

Actually, I believe they’re fed from the food for their citizens. Their citizens would indeed be starved out quickly. But they don’t care about that.

You know more than me.

You must let us know if such wonderful technology exists!

You’re Russian? And written Seool there? Neat, learned something new. I suppose I should have said Seoul is how it’s spelled by the S Koreans.

In manpower at least, NK has the 4th largest army in the world after China, US, India. Even before the invasion Iraq was not close. Granted, Iraq probably had a hell of a lot better equipment but NK geography (mountains, forested) and decades to bury and hide their artillery isn’t going to make it a cakewalk. Versus…

Seoul IS the correct spelling, not probably. I don’t know what the NK civilian population will do if the leadership is decapitated but I bet the US military is not counting on them to see the US as “saviors” after decades of thorough brainwashing. S Koreans are sane and definitely will be fleeing the war zone. NK…

For an “old and aged” anime watcher in search of quality, it’s hard to believe you’ve never heard of Madoka Magica. IMO, it’s up among the best in theme, character, plot. You need to pay strict attention from the very beginning. And you have to take our word for it and just bear it and get past the first three…

yeah, there’s a ton of law firms advertising their Montana reg services in the back of RV magazines. Since I’m an average joe, not their usual client with a million dollar RV or Ferrari, paying someone a few bucks would defeat the purpose of me trying save a few bucks in sales tax.
