Just got satellite radio knocked down to $8/mo for a year instead of $25 by threatening to cancel. Now if I could do that with my internet, that'd be great.

They must be desperate. We just got Sirius in 3 cars for less than we were paying for one car. I was shocked when Mrs. Velo told me the new deal.

It's a 2 story farmhouse with a partial basement exposure, I'm sure that'll work well.
My dad has some 2 part epoxy from the 80s that I swear all the packaging and instructions are in Russian I honestly would be interested to see how a house held together would do. Basically the one thing in his garage I think we'd catch a beating for playing with.

Our deal ran out and I just chatted with someone on Sirius and just asked what kind of a deal I could get. $14/month for two cars. Didn't even bring up cancelling. I was happy about it.

Trying to decide what to do tailgating wise on Saturday. We don't have a parking pass and I am not interested in paying the prices they are going for. Unfortunately my parents won't work with us to let us use their spot while they are in the alumni band luncheon.

Haunted Forest could be an option. $50 per game.

You just put Dad on some government watch list...

I picked up an online order of groceries over my lunch hour. When I got home, I opened up the back hatch and a tub of greek yogurt fell onto the ground. It split open and splattered all over my pants and shoes. I just cleaned these shoes yesterday.

I went to the dentist for a cleaning and checkup. Everything looked good, but the appointment was still excruciating for me. The hygenist scraping my teeth was like nails on a chalkboard.

Can we get Dr reform. 2:00 appt for the oral surgeon and it is now 2:54 and still havent seen the Dr.

I want compensated for my time!!!!

That irritates the hell out of me.

Or when they get you to the actual room and still take a long time.

I'm always (likely super unfairly) wondering what they're doing out there when I hear people moving in the hallway.

My wife doesn't let me come to appointments I don't absolutely have to be at. Between my ADHD and just crankiness that it is a "we will get to you when we get to you" type of atmosphere both in clinic and in the hospital is downright infuriating to me.

I walked out the last time.

I know that's not an option for everyone.

I get there early and you make me wait 1/2 hour over the scheduled time? You are not respecting my time and effort.

I was pretty rude about it last time

Obvious answer is to quit buying that nasty stuff!
