• Commented on Should Libraries Let People Look At Porn In The Open?

• Commented on Tips For Beating The Resume-Reading Robots Of Doom
  You are missing the point. The point is to get your resume past the bots who screen the things. Not being dishonest, just gaming the system so that your resume has a chance of ending up in front of a...
• Commented on I Stuck With Netflix Through Thick And Thin And All I Got Was This Broken Game Disc
  I ordered the same disk 3 times. First one was heavily cracked, second one was literally broken in half just about like the pic above. Third one was okay which was a good thing because I was about to give...

• Commented on Don't Bother Getting A Kindle Fire Unless You Have A Credit Card

• Commented on How To Handle Lending Money To Loved Ones
  My rule - don't lend money to family. It creates bad blood until (if ever) it gets repaid and really changes your relationship with that person who you will need to interact with again and again. If I want and...
• Commented on Which TV Shows Were The Biggest Product Placement Offenders In 2011?
  My hubbie and I were watching Burn Notice from USA the other night. Burst out laughing at the completely blatant commercial for Hyundai right in the middle of a car chase. Something about "in a car chase it's important to...
• Commented on Which TV Shows Were The Biggest Product Placement Offenders In 2011?
  Anyone want some Subway?...
• Commented on 16 Tips On How To Be A Better Hotel Guest
  Wow, what a gripe-fest. Also I cannot believe that all of these would possibly apply to every single hotel. Every hotel has a different policy and it is always wise to contact them directly if you have any questions about...
• Commented on 'Top Chef-Inspired' Frozen Meals Sort Of Means Something
  Why buy a frozen meal then? It sounds like you're putting as much work into it as making your own food....
• Commented on Are You Responsible For Bailing Out Your Financially Irresponsible Parents?

  Am I the only one who's never heard of the word "slorp"?...
• Commented on After Media Exposure, Insurance Firm Reverses Claim Denial Against Tornado Hero
  Not to be a jerk and I'm glad it worked out for the guy but...workers comp? Really? Workers comp is specifically designed to pay off injuries incurred in the line of work. This guy voluntarily went above and beyond what...
• Commented on Walmart Is Dying Because Its Business Model Is Strangling Itself
  Oh please, sensational much? Walmart still makes up 2% of the US GDP. Even if it's got no room to grow, it's still a dominant retailer in the US and worldwide. I think Ad Age is really overstating the case....
• Commented on How To Ease Post-Sunburn Discomfort
  Tea. It's something about the tannins....
• Commented on Help Make Our Really Big Guide To Secret Menu Items Even Bigger
  You can still get them here in Chicagoland. The BK i usually go to has them on the menu for $1.29....
• Commented on Insulting Restaurant Staff On Twitter While You're Still In The Restaurant Might Get You Kicked Out Of Restaurant
  Your point is irrelevant. She had already tweeted her displeasure of the restaurant. She had already made it public to potentially hundreds of people. That said, I do think the manager should have tried harder to get to the bottom...
• Commented on Government Wants Organic Small-Batch Ice Cream Maker To Stop Making Organic Small-Batch Ice Cream
  Using my admittedly small knowledge of pasteurization, doesn't that essentially equate to a lower shelf life? I'm fine with her selling it to individual customers but I'm nervous about Whole Foods carrying it. Who knows how often they really rotate...
• Commented on Wendy's Sues Wendy's Franchisees For Refusing To Cook Up "Hot N Juicy" Burgers
  Wendy's buns are gross. It doesn't seem like they are heated up at all to me. They're soggy and flabby and mushy - just not the best container for any kind of sandwich. If they are making a new one...
• Commented on The 8 Largest U.S. Retailers With The Worst Sales
  I totally disagree. The marketplace does not need 3 office supply stores (Depot, Max and Staples). Betcha one of them disappears before too long....
• Commented on Guy Files Class Action Against Hilton For Charging Him 75 Cents For Newspaper He Didn't Ask For
  They should be clearer in directly asking "Do you want this package?" OTOH, does anyone really think they are just sharing this information for your personal information and edification? I do think OK can be ambiguous in this context and...
• Commented on Airlines Not Passing On Savings Of Not Having To Pay FAA Taxes
  Whoa, deja vu. This is the same thing that happened in Chicagoland a while back when they repealed the gas tax for a week or something. Strangely enough none of the gas prices went down during that week....
• Commented on Frustrating Chat With A Comcast Rep Impersonating A Robot
  That's hilarious. It does sound automated. It reminds me of when you call and they put you on hold for a minute so you have to listen to some spiel while you're waiting. I'd be interested in seeing the time...
• Commented on L.A. Law: If Your Dog Chases Someone, It Can Be Seized, Killed
  I'm a dog owner myself and I can see their point. If a vicious dog chases someone who just happens to be fast enough to escape it, does that mean the dog isn't vicious? Of course not. People, get your...
