Right?? AE could sell a lot more of these with some nice vertical stacks behind the cab....they could probably sell it more easily to me anyway

I mean i miss the part drawers and everything they had for making things. The rc's where cool but definitely more toy like.

sprayed the hell out of the backyard yesterday. today the nice clean patio is full of dead rolly pollies. so now i have to dig the leaf blower out.

You killed a bunch of innocent insect armadillos!

Radio Shack understood a lot of things that got lost in the shuffle. I loved that place and miss it.

My tiny town doesn't have much in the way of commerce, but we had a Radio Shack up to 12-15 years ago. I still have a small Auvio brand tv, I bought from there years ago, mounted on the wall in front of my treadmill that I use daily.

Got a bit loud with 1 of my coworkers yesterday. Not unwarranted imo....but in today's fragile society where we tend to shelter the stupid and lazy it could come back to get me. Smh

I see a trip to HR in your near future

 

[Suburban_Hooligan]

I'm bored.
but i also don't want to do anything.
and I'm at work.
so...
and it's muggy as hell and that that sucks to work in. so there's also that.
and right now I'm pouring epoxy and that also has its pro's and con's.
what id really like to do is take a nap cause i woke up tired this morning.
and it semi kinda sorta rained about hour ago and i left the windows in my truck cracked so hopefully no water got in.
I'm just babbling at this point cause i don't really want to check on that epoxy.

We have astronauts in space traveling further away from Earth than any human has been, ever.

It's streaming live on Netflix but is hidden by the algorithm...nowhere to be seen on the homepage. We have become such a full blown idiocracy, that I have to manually search to find the live feed of one of the most historically significant events to have occurred in my lifetime.

 

[RudyF6]

Everything ticked me off today. Got home mad.
You know what made it better?
RC.
Ran only about a half pack through my Wendigo (the Class Clown!).
I was laughing in about 5 minutes.
Whew!

This is a rave, not a rant. Our lawn guy finally showed up and is charging us $25 a week.

 

[RudyF6]

You're exactly right Frog!
And I'd sell my mower if I could get $25 mowing!

Truth is, this is more than worth it and the going rate around here.
I simply can't walk 10 feet without feeling like I'm going to pass out and I damn sure not gonna
make my wife mow.
My sister was supposed to do it but she flaked on me.

Dude, I would have paid that 20 years ago when my wife was doing it so I didn't have to when I was working...
I love her!

It's seriously depressing that I can't. I enjoyed it.

I feel ya, we broke down and got a yard guy last year, it was just getting to hard to keep up with. Never thought that would happen.

I'm at the worried stage myself. I had to cancel my first camping trip. Of course, the wife was happy about that.

We had an airshow coming up, and I was worried if I was going to be able to survive all day in the sun with that much standing. Unfortunately it got cancelled due to the Iran conflict, but in a way it was a relief. I need to do something about my current condition.

 

[Chubaka]

My guy left me hanging going on day 4 or 5. So if I'm an butthead my appologies.

So after posting a review of T-Mibile's customer service on a bery busy review site (TrustPilot), and filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, I called T-Mobile one last time a few days later about removing the fraudulent charge on my account, and amazinhgly, the tone of the agant I spoke to was as friendly as can be. So out of the 15+ phone calls where every agent was rude to downright obnoxious, I get one that is super nice and has the charge removed in about a minute. Coincidence? I highly doubt it. Then today I get this guy trying to reach out to me. I must have stirred up enough chit to get the big dogs involved

Considering T-Mobile has 1.4 rating out of 5 tells me this talk won't amount to anything. They have hundreds of reviews regurgitating the exact same experience I had, and this has been going on for years.

I've been with T-mobile for years with no problems until lately. Went into a store for help and all they want to do is make ME use the T-life app. While standing in the store. Nope. All I want to do is add a dumb phone to my account. Takes 10-15 minutes with an employee. The app took 2-1/2 hours the last time - there will be no next time.
