  1. What do you do with a teenager that hates high school but is so afraid of real life that he refuses to graduate?

      Tell 'em that college is a magical place and is worth putting up with the crap in high school (worked for me). That should buy you about 2-4 years till they move back in.

      I heard that college sucks because that's when women decide to convert to lesbianism for a few years. You'll have to develop a taste for man meat if you want someone to touch your willy.

  2. I left negative feedback for a seller because the package never arrived, its untrackable and he blames the post office. He wants me to change my feedback. Should I do it? Ebay already refunded my money.

      ebays, feedback system sucks, it's way to short, and does not allow a true follow up.. you can only comment or go through the crappy process to make a change..

      Feedback is suppose to be how you feel about your expierience with the seller. Leave your changes if thats how you really feel.

      Nope. But daughter received a late Christmas card that was addressed to a previous tenant yesterday. She was about to tear it up and bin it but it was tougher than most cards. She opened it up and there was a cheque for £100 inside. So she's trying to get it to the intended recipient.

      Well,

       

      Little hard to feel bad, when every legitimate criticism was met with  "Market Research" and "You don't know what you're talking about"...And every financial concern was hit with "We have large investors!!"

  10. I'm listening to old time radio. It's amazing how many commercials are outright lies. For example, Camel cigarettes are less irritating to your nose and throat. Drinking Pepsi helps with digestion problems.

      My favorite was listening to an old Dodger game and hearing Vin Scully announce that for every Dodger home run, Lucky would donate a carton of cigarettes to the local veteran's hospital. That's wrong on so many levels now.

      if you have a dispute with a vendor (which I have on occasion) they just put through what they like, hard to stop so just give no access. neither is a great choice .

      You might be surprised at how many children you're sharing the theater with. Most parents take their kids to early morning shows to avoid bothering others. At 8:30 you might avoid that, but even by 10:00 (the first showing my local theater has) it was wall to wall kids. although they were better behaved than the adults...

      I grew tired of movie theaters some years back, after seeing one-too-many films that were projected badly in a crappy theater. After that, I'd only go to really well run/maintained theaters (ArcLight, Dolby Cinema), and then only rarely (usually for big-screen blockbusters). There aren't any good theaters nearby, and they charge more, so it just became too much of a hassle even before the pandemic.

      (pre covid) The night before the last Avengers movie, I had bought the only seat so far for the showing, right in the middle.  Paired recliner seats, which clearly show as pairs on the website.

      I get to my seat and there is an entire family of 5 in the row, with someone in my seat.   I get there, show my ticket, and the mom makes her kid move out of my seat, and I would have sat next to her in the paired seat.  I think I said out loud "Are you fucking kidding me?"  Moved down one row where nobody was.  What the hell is wrong with people?
