Any diagnoses on his brain activity/damage?

Zer gut...! :thumbsup:


Wonder if this near-death experience is gonna affect him in any way... :headscratch:

aside from possibly not riding anymore?

doubt it.

it was slow at work today and so we didnt sell 46 chocolate covered strawberries....and since they have to be made fresh everyday, we had to take them home to eat...either that or throw them away...so i bought home maadd strawberries and me and my fam ate them after dinner...they couldnt belive that the prices of those things are 4, 6 and 8 dollars a piece...they were lucky 2day ^^

This isn't a good thing but I witnessed something today during the exams.

All I have to say is that I detest people who have no integrity and I have no qualms reporting it to the chief.

Yeah. I should have minded my own business but I don't feel good as it was unfair to everyone.

Pioneer is pissing me off. They have taken 10 weeks to send me a rebate that should have been completed in 8 weeks. I called them and tracked the rebate. The rebate arrived in August :beatyou: They now say it'll be sent to me by November 23rd, then they say to wait 15 business days for it to arrive.....WTF????????? :grumble: I've been counting on that $30. "You should receive your rebate check within 8 weeks" my ass. :shakehead:

You know if you don't get that check, the store is liable to pay you the rebate amount. At least that how it works in California.

Really?? Is that a new rule in California??

Hmm, that might explain why CompUSA sent me that $35 rebate years(!) after QPS stiffed me on the rebate...

Good to know. :thumbsup:

i didn't think it was possible, but my Netflix service has gotten EVEN WORSE.
I got a total of 1 movie last week, and ill get probably 2 this week at most.

I'm trying to find that information online. I know I read it in the local paper.

Edit: Can't find it. :( Actually I think the case involved CompUSA. But in any case, if you don't receive your rebate and you think you're getting the runaround, I would contact your local district attorney and their consumer protection department.

When I get a chance, I'll try to contact the Better Business Bureau: I would think they would know of such a rule... :)

If that rule doesn't exist, and it was all in my head, I think it should. Stores should pony up the money if the company doesn't pay the rebate. Especially if you go through all the hassle to follow their guidelines.

But I still think MIRs are bad, and they make them instant rebates.

Total agreement.

Rebates are scams that are mere enticements to get people to buy the product. Then the company will give you the shaft.

Well, it was a product I wanted (Pioneer DVR-509 16x internal dual layer DVD burner) and needed.....just happened to include a $30 rebate. Since it had a rebate, it would be nice to get it. I paid $110 for the burner in July and sent my rebate stuff in August. They got the form on 8/31/05 and it's on the tracker as such. I called them and barked. If I don't get it by December I'm barking again because I printed out the proof that they received it on time and that it was deemed valid.

My cell phone (and past one too) had a rebate too, and that came in a timely manner. Both came in within 4 weeks.

SUNDAY!@ :beatyou:

It could have been worst.

...Canada Post is promising to deliver thousands of pieces of mail to Montreal's Park Extension neighbourhood by Monday – letters that have allegedly been hoarded for years in the apartment of a letter carrier.
The man has been fired from his job and arrested by police after investigators say they found about 75,000 letters and packages in his apartment. ...

Full news here

They say he didn't deliver any mail for at least 3 to 4 years, because he was too lazy to do it. :crazy2:
