• Commented on School Fined $15,000 Because Bookstore Sold Soda During Lunch
  Seriously. I'm a print journalist myself, so I'm not completely blameless. But the broadcast folks seem to eschew everything we hold dear, including objectivity and attribution....
• Commented on School Fined $15,000 Because Bookstore Sold Soda During Lunch
  The KUTV story is extremely poorly-written and vague. It's only got one source: the school's principal. What about someone from the federal agency responsible for enforcing the law? What about something as simple as quoting that law? What about an...
• Commented on FTD.com Vs. Reality: Enjoy Your Mother's Day Chargeback
  I can't believe people haven't said it yet: don't use these online flower ordering places that use local florists to fulfill orders. Search for a florist near where you want to send the flowers. Look for reviews to make sure...
• Commented on FTD.com Vs. Reality: Enjoy Your Mother's Day Chargeback
  The offenders are almost always these online flower companies that use local florists to fulfill orders. I'm surprised people haven't said it yet on this thread, but don't use those companies. Find a local florist and call them yourself....
• Commented on If The Bank Hands You A Counterfeit Bill, You're Probably Stuck With It
  Isn't it a federal crime to pay for something with counterfeit bills? And when you withdraw cash, isn't your bank essentially paying you? In other words, shouldn't the bank be prosecuted to the full extent of federal law for giving...
• Commented on FTD.com Vs. Reality: Enjoy Your Mother's Day Chargeback
  That's not a valid comparison. You don't enjoy a burger based almost solely on its looks. With flowers, you do....
• Commented on Bank Of America Apparently Doesn't Want Credit Card Customers Who Pay Their Cards Off
  Any time they extend credit to someone, it's a liability to them. It's basically liquidity that they have to always have. What if that cardholder suddenly uses the card? The bank has to pay the merchant....
• Commented on Bank Of America Apparently Doesn't Want Credit Card Customers Who Pay Their Cards Off
  I'm always afraid this will happen, so once or twice a year I let the financing kick in on each of my card. I figure if they get a few bucks from me, maybe they'll value my business a little...
• Commented on This HSBC Customer Is Left Out Of The Changeover
  In retail banking, you're usually permanently attached to the branch where you opened your account, like it's your home branch. I guess if you didn't open at a branch, you have no home branch. Anyway, if he's so excited about...
• Commented on No More Plastic Bags Anywhere In Hawaii
  I don't know if I agree with plastic bag bans. I live in DC, where any disposable bag will cost you 5 cents at restaurants, grocery stores and any establishment that sells food (didn't know Macy's sold food, did you)....

  So is ketchup a vegetable?...

• Commented on There's A Used Condom In My Room. Does The Hotel Owe Me Anything?
  They're under no obligation to comp you, upgrade you, give you credit toward a future stay, etc. Should they have? Maybe. I think turning to TripAdvisor would be a good move no matter what, especially if the hotel has a...
• Commented on Why Does A 10-Second Collect Call Cost $37.66?
  If you really need to use a payphone, use a calling card....
• Commented on Disoriented Passenger Trying To Open Door During Flight Prompts Emergency Landing
  Air Wisconsin is a "regional" airline, so it operates flights for major airlines using their branding, ticketing system, ground crew, etc. This appears to have been a flight branded as US Airways Express....
• Commented on Disoriented Passenger Trying To Open Door During Flight Prompts Emergency Landing
  Actually the pressure is much lower outside than inside, so wouldn't it actually make it extremely easy to open?...
• Commented on Mall Now Requires Teens Shop With Parents After 6:00 P.M.
  Huh. The TV station didn't talk to anyone under 18, or even close to 18, for that matter. I think that'd be a very important voice in the matter, no?...
• Commented on Teenager Says TSA Screeners Are Responsible For Breaking $10K Insulin Pump
  Blaming the OP here. The doctor told you not to take it through a scanner. But instead of listening to your doctor, you trust an airport screener's advice on medical devices. Good going. Hey, did the doctor tell you not...
• Commented on Small Brewer Says Budweiser Is Bullying Him About Old Kegs
  It'd be a good idea to start keeping very, very good records of the kegs (if Calfkiller isn't doing that already). Keep track of invoices from purchasing, put serial numbers on each keg, track exactly where each keg goes, etc....

  How responsible is Tumblr for content submitted and maintained by users?...
• Commented on Stuck In Mexico Without Any Bags Thanks To Gate-Checked Carryon
  I rarely see people try to bring on oversize carryons. Airlines have no reason not to block oversize carryons, so they do it often. So no, I don't think oversize carryons are the problem....

• Commented on Bioethicist: If We're Going To Tax Obese People More, We Should Tax Cat Owners Too
  Who's actually proposing to tax fat people more? I think that's little more than a strawman....
• Commented on Are Verizon Reps Pushing 4G Android Smartphones Over The 3G iPhone?
  No ... I didn't say I was proud or mad about anything....
• Commented on Are Verizon Reps Pushing 4G Android Smartphones Over The 3G iPhone?
  In my experience, yes. A friend of mine recently bought an iPhone and took me along, and the salesman definitely discouraged him from getting an iPhone and pushed him toward an 4G Android phone. He went with the iPhone though....
