Yesterday I was fed up with Sprint. My text messaging had been screwy for over two weeks and they couldn't seem to pull their heads out of their asses long enough to be bothered to figure out what was going on, let alone fix it. And my $380 phone has had issues since I got it and within a one week period has had to be replaced twice. Sprint seems ( Read more... )

CNN is running a story about how former Secretary of Education William Bennett said something more than slightly politically incorrect. Except it seems little has been revealed about the context in which he said it, which to me makes stories like this utterly worthless. It seems he was talking about a hypothetical way to reduce the crime rate with ( Read more... )

I have about a dozen records that I haven't had anything to play them back with in well over a year. Last year I bought cheap turntable off eBay that broke within a week but got me hooked. I then ended up trying to get something better and got screwed by a bad seller and lost $200 and was too disenchanted to try to get another. Last night I decided ( Read more... )

A few days ago I researched some natural remedies for depression since although I knew I needed help with my depression, I didn't want to deal with the side-effects of Prozac and its ilk. I read something about how stuff like B6, B12, folate, and omega-3 fatty acid deficiencies have been found in a significant number of depressed people and given ( Read more... )

Today I got the Philips 20" flat screen CRT TV I ordered last week and picked up a Koss home theater in a box system with built-in DVD player to add to the Accurian (RadioShack) HDTV tuner I bought on clearance last week. For the first time ever I have a complete home entertainment system, albeit a modest one. The entire system is clearly a budget ( Read more... )

On Wednesday my previously online-only friend Derick moved to Denver and the next day we got together for a short while and had dinner. It was good finally meeting someone in person that I had talked to so much online and we got along well in person. I guess Friday, Saturday, and Sunday weren't all that eventful overall. Monday I went to A Taste of ( Read more... )

On Thursday, on impulse, I bought an LG MM-535 for my Sprint service to replace an LG PM-325 that was a bit flaky (and was returned the next day). I had thought about the phone for a few weeks but the high price kept me away. That day I was fed up with my 325 and went into a Sprint store and saw the 535 there and started playing with it and ( Read more... )
