Alien tape as advertised on TV states it will hold practically anything. I purchased 1 roll for $19.99 and got 2 free.
I followed the instructions to the letter. I hung several pictures (approx 6 oz each picture) on my walls being careful to clean each spot. After hanging the pix up they all fell off the walls in about 3 to 5 days. Does NOT live up to their advertisement at all.

Gutter Guys of Maryland, Inc.
For the past several years I have employed "Gutter Guys of Maryland, Inc" to replace all my gutters, downspouts and install gutter guard on all gutters on my home.
Last year (2022) during a very severe rain storm the water was pouring over the lower end of the valley (where two roofs intersect). After the storm I called them and they sent an install team to correct the problem. They installed a small diverter dam at the lower edge of the valley; this appeared to correct the issue. This year (2023) during a rain storm the water was again pouring over the dam and leaking between the gutter and the soffit. I called them to correct the problem. The CSR I spoke to stated there was a $75 charge to send a team out and look at the problem area. She went on to say the charge was for brushing off the gutter guards. However, no mention there would be a repair where the gutter had pulled away from the soffit.
I have no intention of paying $75 for them to correct a problem that may have come about because of a poor install. There was no charge in 2022 to install the water diverter dam.
Because of multiple installs over the past 4 years there are no receipts.

Tip for consumers:
A clear concise explanation of their warranty by the sales people.

Well finally after several weeks (loose term "several") I did receive a replacement pan. However it does not the pan set I have to date. The pan is copper coloured exterior whereas my original is black. Ohhh well I have a replacement.

Tip for consumers:
Their replacement policy.

Purchased the 15 piece "Stackmaster" set approx. Mid 2021 for $170.00. I noticed the 10" x 1" frying pan was beginning to scratch. I called their customer service in June 2022, filed for a replacement. I was told at the time the manufacturer was back logged in making that size pan; but was guaranteed it would ship as soon as possible. Two weeks went by "no replacement" so I started calling their consumer group weekly. To date no luck, well at least I have 10 years to get a replacement. LOL.

Tip for consumers:
Over all their cooking ware products appear to be good. Just don't try to replace a piece. Customer service certainly seems to have the line of bull down pat.

Page 2, the rest of the story.
I live on the east coast of the US where a hurricane just passed. I was without power on and off for 4 days. Cut to the chase, which is why I writing this review. Everyone of my emergency flashlights did NOT work because of battery leakage, in the all 3 of the maglites the damage was so severe I could NOT get the batteries out of the casings and had to properly dispose of these lights at the local dump who handles hazmat material.
The ACR firefly was part of my emergency equipment for my boat. I discovered this; this past summer while out at night when I needed the strobe to signal another boat for help.
But the real biggie was the Weems & Plath clock. W&P would not repair the clock because they said the damage was caused by the leaking DUARCELL battery. W&P offered to replace the internal portion of the clock at a fee of $194 USD.
So all in all DURACELL batteries have cost me $450. I now have removed every DURACELL battery in everything I own, Importantly smoke detectors, CO2 alarms & the home fire system.
And yes I am aware that DURACELL has a damage claims department; however since all damaged devices contain some form of corrosive damage they can NOT be shipped other then by a hazmat carrier. So wtf...
In closing if you have things you depend upon for emergencies I would check them out.

  • H&R Block

Their Website is fine; but it stops there! My regular firm decided this year to go out of business (so sad, 15 years of great reliable service). I was in a hurry as I planned for a business trip overseas. Block was close to home, convenient plus I was in a hurry to get it done. After about 4 yours my taxes were done and everything submitted to FED & State. By the time I got home that day I had a few Emails from them; two telling me the FED & State had accepted the returns, burden lifted. By the time I was ready to leave for the trip I had received a number of Emails from them, mostly about how I rated the service. I sent back an Email stating the service rep. Met my expectations. Well it seems that was not enough as I kept getting forms to complete; how did I?, and would I questions. [DEL] key. To no avail continued to requests. I do NOT and will NOT recommend any business or services to any of my friends, if they have a bad experience it is suddenly your fault and peuff an angry friend. I can only suggest do not give them your Email.

  • Anastasia

I received 371 replies to my experiences with Anastasiadate.com (anastasia.com). I would like to take a line or so to express my thanks to all who valued my opinion and gave me a few "votes of confidence".
I took a couple hours to read most of the general comments from others who felt as I do or do not feel as I about Anastasia. YES, as an internet business it is very well managed; connection speeds are good, quality of images excellent, and your privacy is well maintained. But beleive me it really ends there!
However, of the 371 reports there only seems to be about 8% with success stories and of that 8%, 2% all married a lady whose name is Natalie all within about 6 months of each other; hmmmmmmmm! A couple of the reviews were so poorly written it was hard to understand exactly what the writter was trying to convey; hmmmmm, come on anastasia at least use employees who are literate, lucid and versed in the English language.
Several reviewers commented about the number of very young women (18 to 25 YO) stating "oh babe, oh babe, oh babe" I want to be with you, Iam lonely without you, I need you, and so on BS. Oh, I also like the number of, again, very young women who have responsible jobs; like office or store manager, teacher, and the one I really liked psychologist (at the age of 23) WOW whirlwind PhD education.
Well guys it continues to come down to this; its your money, but I could sure spend it on a professional escort for dancing, dining, a good English conversation and a smile on your face for a day or two later.
Now I taken up Anastasia as hobby just to see how far I can push a performer (opps sorry I meant woman) over the hill to admitting the truth about Anastasiadate.
If you are really looking for a FREE FREE FREE dating Website go to "AdultFriendFinder"; you get a few days for nothing to test drive the site, then if you choose you can buy a subscription for 10 bucks for one month, after that you can renew for a nominal fee. But all chat, groups and everything else is FREE and I do mean FREE. AFF is a GREAT site if you are only looking for fun and a remote possibility of a connection.

Took my car to a local center for repair. Charged for OEM parts, instead after market parts where used. Disk rotors wore out in 6 months caused severe damage to other brake parts.

  • Match

10/28/13

I am from the "baby boomers era" and I have been divorced for 25 years. I have not had time to find a special someone because of a career and education. Now I am online looking at a number of dating sites. I came upon match.com and bought a 6 month membership. Remember I said I was a baby boomer in my 60s, which according to some consumer reporting agencies make up 25% of match.com subscribers or 2.5 million boomers. I need to make some things very clear; while I am in my 60s I exercise 3 times a week at a gym, eat healthy, jog, ride my bike, water & snow ski, bowl, play badminton, work on my lawns. I am 5'6" tall, and 132 lbs, my metabolic age is 49, and my BMI is 19.3. I want to share a quick story; about a month ago I accepted a day together with a 58YO lady. The next day I called her and her daughter wanted to know what I did to her mother. I told her what we did the day before. The daughter said her mother was resting and did NOT ever want to talk to me again, she said I was too active and needed that style woman. But here is the bite in the butt; I have been TOTALLY unsuccessful getting a date with a younger woman, who I probably would not kill from my active life style. Match.com wants matches age for age. Women in their 40s DON'T want men in their 60s; they want men in their 30s and early 40s. It is a shame that match.com and the women there don't understand there are finer things in life then just an age grouping. I will add; match.com customer service SUCKS! Match.com sends me daily a list of women that supposedly match my profile. I was pretty clear in stating I will NOT date out of my race, and I will NOT travel more then 25 miles. Obviously, they need a map and a colour chart! Maybe I am being much like the women I criticize, looking for a more youthful individual.

  • AnastasiaDate

Just another gripe about AnastasiaDate.com. If you still think Anasatasia is the best company to do business with for online dating think twice. Try this for grins; remove your credit card information from their site, I did not state change to another card I SAID remove your credit card information from their site. Once you file a credit card on their site you can NOT remove it! Their system will only allow you replace a credit card with another type or one. So all you guys that continue to say; you met the love of your life and so on. Remember your credit card is still there. What is stopping the company from charging your card with false charges? I finally called my card company and had them put a hold on anything that may occur on my card. A good hacker only need to gain access to the password database to apply fraudulent charges or wipe out every cent in your cc account. Hmmm more food for thought about this company. Buyer beware! Ohh wait they do not tell you that upfront about removing cc information.
