Bad Marketing Ideas - What Are The Worst?
The Sprint commercials with the talking-hamster-dad drive me nuts. I have an off-beat sense of humor but those are so bad they're cringe-worthy. I don't think the any publicity is good publicity concept works here either because I had completely ignored who was actually behind the garbage until... -
Midnight Press Conference?!
Des Moines Register reporting a midnight press conference on Kathlynn Shepard case. Yowsa. -
Really, really bad day.
The 'rage' thread got me thinking. Ever had one of those days that just goes bad, bad, baaaad? Everything within 50 feet of you goes sour? I had one of those today. It starts out all chipper because it's my birthday but then one phone call re: a new federal policy that really messes with how we... -

Need ENT Doc Recommendation
Yah, I really am using a collegate sports fan message board to ask this question...but, I tried to find an allergist on my own this spring and ended up with a dud, so what can this hurt? I think I need to see an ear-nose-throat specialist pretty quickly. Does anyone have any good, or bad... -
Cicada killer wasps up close!
Sorry if this freaks some out, saw something pretty cool today that I'd thought I'd share. For a few years, we've had a growing population of cicada killer wasps living the high life in a couple of our flower beds and our lawn for about a month in the summer. We were putting together a new... -
Need Graphic Design Help
Too many things to do - not enough time! I'm losing my mind. :goofy: RAGBRAI is going through our little town and somehow I got stuck taking care of ~95% of everything going on. We need a t-shirt design. We know what we want on the shirts but are open to creative ideas on how to accomplish... -

Know anything about OSHA crane inspections?
I'm perpetually amazed at the seemingly odd topics that pop on this board. With that said, I'm putting out a call for expertise, or potential contacts, regarding OSHA-mandated crane inspections. I recently inherited supervision of a unit that has a couple 2+ year old knuckle-boom cranes... -

Laser eye surgery - your experience?
I stopped being a giant chicken and had laser surgery yesterday for severe astigmatism and farsightedness. They put 'bandage contacts' in my eyes, to be removed later today in a follow up visit. Has anyone else had these - does some of the fuzziness go away after they're out? How long until the... -
Seeking Both Ireland Advice & a Garmin Question
In less than a month, 3 Cyclone Fanatics (and one Poke fan, but we still love her... most of the time) are taking off for a fantastic Ireland vacation. Recently there was a great thread about travel advice to Germany - - so I'm wondering if other CFers have Ireland travel advice. We're doing... -
ISU Area Rug?
We're finally going to get off our lazy butts and turn the guest bedroom into a Cyclone room. (Finally! A place to hang the diplomas...) While cruising into the Union today, noticed a great rug at the entrance of the bookstore business office. Whoa - where can one buy these? I was red... -

Who fixes luggage?
Have a wheeled Delsey laptop bag that has worn extremely well except for the wheel that shredded out. I've tried to contact Delsey about it, and that's been useless. I've looked in the yellow pages, also useless. There's no obvious way to change out the wheel. Having to carry around a wheeled... -
Red Light Camera
Oh for crap's sake. Got a ticket in the mail from Clive for doing a right turn on a red (pinkish! with no one coming towards me!) light. Has anyone fought such a thing and won? It tagged my husband as the driver (registered in his name) but I was driving. He has more tickets than me right... -
Need new computer monitor, but there's a catch
Need to buy a new monitor for the in-law's computer. Because of how they have their computer set up, the monitor has to sit on the counter right behind the keyboard, so it's kind of like sitting in the front row of a movie theater when looking at it. I've been pondering how big of a screen...
