Texannie, how about that Allen Carr book that seemed to help so many people over in the smoking thread years ago? (Teehee, what pimp to get that as a Christmas present) I was never an advocate for the book, but it seemed to help other folks. It has a lot of solid reasoning, such as the fact that smoking CAUSES stress, not relieves it. It is such a damn seductive drug.

Pamy, some of the research I was reading mentioned rapid and/or irregular heart beat as a possible side effect.

Well, Dfennessey is now walking on her smoke breaks instead of smoking. Sounds brilliant to me. Need a smoke? Take a walk until the compulsion goes away.

today at lunch I did not walk at lunch yesterday was too dang cold but at 4:00 I did go for a walk to move my car closer to the building. I am still struggling a little when i am in my car and at those markers where I would normally light one up. But once again it is too cold to be stopping at a store to get out of my car and buy a pack. and once I realize i do not have any to smoke I am okay with it

Escapee, your food addiction is not a problem, lol. But if it were, I have heard that accupuncture can help with over eating.

9:40am and my neighbors have their music up so loud and thumping so hard it's making my windows vibrate. I'm pretty used to this crap in the middle of the night, but early in the morning?????

Oh, heh, I don't mean early as in people are still in bed early. Just that around here, on a weekday during the school year, it's pretty quiet til later in the afternoon.

These neighbors drive me nuts. Their dogs bark constantly and they party several times a week, with the loud, thumping music going all night long. The only time I can expect peace and quiet from them is before noon so it sets my teeth to itching hearing them that early. Probably also means their gearing up for an all night party this weekend too.

War., when you are awake and this is going on in the middle of the night, call the cops! This sounds like disturbing the peace to me if I ever heard it.

OK I need help...

Remember my complaint about Dazzles a few weeks ago? Well guess what appeared in my mailbox tonight! Yup, the two bags of Dazzles corn I ordered. With a postmark date of 12/8/10. The stoopid beyotch said that they shipped product when I ordered it the beginning of November. Really? So why is the postmark 12/8? Huh?

Anyways, my question... I think it's a bit of a moral/ethical dilemma... do I return the items or do I keep them? On one hand, I think I should return them. On the other hand, I think I should keep them just to make up for all the bull-oney I had to put up with.

Whatcha think?

Email them and say they arrived, and if they send you a label for Fedex with return postage you'll send them back. You know they don't answer emails! Certainly don't send them back at your own expense.

Dfennessey and Deb, yes all of the neighbors complain and we have all talked to them about it at one time or another and we've all called the cops. During the worst party (they had people in the yard yelling and screaming, music blaring, and didn't even start til 10:30 pm and were still going strong at 4am,) we found out the next morning that besides us at least six other neighbors had called the cops. Worse, a couple neighbors, including Darren, all said the same thing, cops rolled through the neighborhood about 3am (which was 2 hours after we called them) and never stopped. It's ridiculous.

The sent them with delivery confirmation, so they know I got them. They also know that I was credited my money back, over a week ago. So I'm not sure why they sent them out so much after the fact. I'm sorta thinking along the lines of Serate's "keep them!" I feel it may be a wee bit unethical but these eejits took unethical to the nth degree!

Costa, I'd keep them too. It's probably just their way of saying sorry for the hassle, sort of along the lines when one calls a company to complain about a product & they send $-off coupons to appease the consumer.

I'd send 'em back with a note that said they could take their product and their mega poor customer service and shove 'em!!!

Costa, the thing is, you got your money back right'..? If you return them, they will not even notice....if you keep them, they will not even notice... So-- Keep them'....seriously, they prob could care less one way or another....unless you talk directly to them or write some seathing article and have it somewhere where lots of folks will see it (and I dont mean here)....you might as well enjoy your free popcorn and forget about it... just my opinion

I did post a complaint to the BBB web site, and it was included in the (large number) of complaints (although I'm not sure you can read the complaints).

I finally opened the package this morning and the only thing in it are the two Dazzles packages. There isn't an invoice, a shipping manifest, or a note. If they had decided to send these anyways as an "I'm sorry" gesture, they should've stuck a note in there. Based on that, and that alone, I'm keeping the things. (And hoping that they were packaged somewhere else so they didn't spit in 'em!)

I bought a $9.99 watch.

Why did it have to be secured in a sealed plastic container that resisted 100#/sq. in pressure! I had to use a utensil to open it. It wasn't valuable. I almost dropped it trying to get it out.

Yeah Dogdoc WHY?

I had to put in a new HP ink cartridge yesterday from a 3-pack, knife didn't work, 2nd set of scissors finally made the cut. It would almost seem easier to break into Ft. Knox! All that plastic to head to the landfill? Our recycle doesn't allow it, they're very picky here in Seattle and this packaging doesn't have the little recycle triangle. Ridiculous & so unbelievably wasteful!
