[RANT] Thanks a lot Barnes and Noble. I enjoyed the wallet rape. [/RANT]
A while back, I bought a Nook from Barnes and Noble. I looked, compared, and researched eReaders for MONTHS before finally purchasing one so I'd have it in time for my trip to Belgium. It just happened that it coincided with my birthday at the end of April, so for my Birthday, I went to Barnes and Noble at Southpoint, and for the grand total of $365 I walked out the door with my new Nook in hand. Yeah, I bought the insurance plan. Hell, I plan on taking it with me on my overseas travels, so being able to get a free replacement if I drop it, or it gets smushed in transit is a good thing. read more »
Why is it so difficult to find urgent care?
So here we are at Myrtle Beach. Everyone else is headed up to Calabash and Sunset Beach to hang out on the sand and go play in the ocean. Dana has a bit of an eye thing going on, so we need to find an urgent care place to go to.
So why have we just spent nearly 40 minutes calling office after office after office trying to find an urgent care, rapid care, or some other sort of non-ER medical center? Every one is either closed, not near us, or knows of another one closer, but doesn't know what their phone number is. read more »
A horrible morning...
Sigh... why does everything seem to happen at once?
So Wednesday brought us torrential rain, thanks to the remnants of tropical storm Faye. That morning, I got half drenched just going the 15 feet to my car. I managed to drive through rain so thick I could barely see the front of my car all the way into town.
That's when I realized I had forgotten my wallet. So, back around the traffic circle, 10 miles back home to get that. It had stopped raining mostly by that point, so I made good time back into P-town and on to Hwy 64. There I ran into the rain again. read more »
The best laid plans felled by an old nemesis
Today is or was July 4th, the day we Americans celebrate Independence day. I didn't do much though I had planned to originally. With the recent decision by the Supreme Court in the D.C. v. Heller case affirming that the 2nd ammendment does in fact guarantee and individual right to keep and bear arms, despite certain other groups' view that the 2nd is a collective right, I decided to celebrate by excercising that right a bit. read more »
