Sorry Partial, but SEARS SUCKS!! I just dropped the glass insert to my Kenmore microwave. I got the model number and part number off of the website and when it comes to the screen to order it, my part isn't listed so I call the 800 number for parts. After leaving me on hold for 10 minutes while making me jump through hoops where I get that "helpful" computer lady who wants me to yell at her with a kid asleep in the next room, it tells me my call did not go through and hangs up on me. So, I call back. This time after all that I get an actual human. I tell him what I need, he tells me he will look it up and puts me on hold. After 5 more minutes, I get a recording saying the office is closed and to visit the website. It's not the first time something like this has happened with them. I HATE SEARS!!!

Oh. And I forgot. My Palm Pilot crashed and died. Hello Outlook.

Maybe ol' Partial can pull a few strings for ya.

If you can help 'er out, P, from half a nation away, that's one step toward being the Man. Not Chuck Norris-like, to be sure, but perhaps Steven Seagal-like. You gotta work your way up.

Sears does suck. Let me know what part you need and I will dive into the database tomorrow morning. Shoot me a PM ZigZagaNopolous

Too funny about this thread getting the bump, I was actually thinking about what I was going to post in it yesterday while out Christmas shopping. I have a few stories to choose from....

The lady at Circuit City who saw me grab the last Nintendo DS (they just put one out on the shelf as I was walking by and I've been looking for one) and then she tried to make me feel guilty by saying her child has been wanting one for so long, blah blah blah. Then her husband said that he'd give me $20 if I handed him the box. Then $40. can you believe people? Some spoiled rotten kid isn't going to get what he wants...boo fricken hoo.

BTW, the DS is for my Dad. I had no idea what to get him, but after seeing those Brain Age games on TV, I thought that would be really good for him and his ongoing recovery from his stroke. There are some other games, too that I bought. They are alot like the things he's doing in therapy, so I'm hoping that he likes it....er, actually uses it !!

Rant #2... people see you walk to your car that is in a good parking spot and they sit and hold up a line of traffic just waiting for you to pull out so they can grab your spot. I ALWAYS will sit there until they finally drive past and then I pull out and let the person in line behind them have the spot.

Rant #3.... I am so sick of hearing about the nativity scene debate at the GB City Hall.

GBR, someone at work gave me a 5 x 7 framed pic of the sig you have.

Did you lay this story on the boo-hoo parents at the store? Should have. Their little "angel" will probably get plenty of loot for Christmas. If he's disappointed that he didn't get the game he wanted, then he might be getting the best thing of all this Christmas: the newfound realization that you can't always get what you want (but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need. )

Meanwhile your dad might be able to use this to recover from a stroke. They're the ones who should feel guilty for even trying the guilt trip. Best wishes to your dad, by the way (and the rest of the family).

Some moron was tailgating me when I was going 45 on the highway. The entire road was pure ice and this idiot was riding my bumper. Ironically enough, just around the corner there was a four car crash with one in the ditch and EMTs everywhere. That could have been us. Moron.

Some idiot let their pet rabbits loose this summer in our neighborhood. They all but survived up until recently. I haven't seen one for awhile so I think it's dead. The other one was sitting at the top of my driveway shivering. It's hind legs weren't functioning and it crawled into our garage on it's front paws. The poor thing was starving and freezing to death and it could barely move. We had to take it into the vet to put it out of its misery.

Why would you get a pet if you can't take care of it? We should drop the bastard off in the Alaskan backcountry and see how long he survives.

hey there JAPF, where ya been hiding?

Don't even get me started on people treating their animals poorly. I could go on and on about that one.... and I will...just a little, lol. Last week I saw a dog in MN, chained up outside. It was -45 that morning BTW. Another big problem that I'm hearing about is people leaving their animals behind in foreclosed homes. WTF is wrong with people??

Yeah, it's been probably a year since I last posted. Times are really busy lately. I had high school basketball almost everyday, weight training a lot, homework, work.

You may be going about this fitness stuff the hard way.

twoseven reports that he has six-pack abs and buns of steel from playing computer games all the time. Check with him about his specific programs and method.

LOL I agree! Had that problem going to work just this morning. The highways are not good here and going to work this morning I have some big-ass pickup truck with the huge tires riding my bumper.

I can't comment on #2. ....it's an emotional topic in our household. I made the kids take their pet rabbits to their Uncles for this winter since we weren't able to take care of them for a couple weeks back in Dec. My daughter just found out hers died. She feels guilty that she wasn't taking care of her rabbit here in our back yard. Told her with how bad this winter has been it may not have made a difference where they were.

another record low set this morning.... -18 below zero.

I don't understand why anyone would have pet rabbits in the first place? Whats the point?
