Eddie Bauer used to have great clothing at a reasonable price. Not so anymore. I only buy sale items. The prices went up and the quality went down.

Five minutes and I realized HOUZZ is just a lot of pretty pictures of ugly garish homes that only the rich might? Not worth the time to say it's pure garbage.

I tried Spotify three times and gave it my best, but I just don't like it. I had difficulty every time I tried it. The bottom line was that it just didn't provide variety without repeating in short order.

I want a music service that will work well in the car. I don't want to fuss with anything to stream music while driving. Isn't that the point?

It failed miserably on local errands as well as on the highway. In some instances it would go off on a totally irrelevant tangent, to the extent that the service would go into folk music in a foreign language. Laughable, yes. Like it, no.

In the end is was the gift that kept on giving. Three days into another free trial, I cancelled the subscription, never to return (or so I thought).

I noted the end of the free period in my scheduler and wouldn't you know it, a week later the subscription fee came out of my checking account. So far, Google Play seems pretty darn good.

I only go to Home Depot and the other big box home improvement center for small items, but after a half dozen times of ineptitude and common items being out of stock, or nowhere to be found, never again.

I went in to pick up some fence brackets. You know those things you use to hang a wood fence rail. Two employees looked at me like I was from outer space.

The first asked me if it was a chain link fence. I said no and she walked me over to the chain link fence supplies.

I shook my head and walked away and found another employee and got the same response. They both said, "I think we have those in three places." The second person showed my where all the various joist hangers were and said, "you might find them in there somewhere."

I looked at both of them, threw my hands up, said, "really people," and walked out.

I gave up and drove the few miles to our local home improvement center, Jerry's, I was lead to fencing supplies to a big box labeled "fence hangers, $89." I was in and out in minutes.

Unless absolutely necessary, I'll just head to Jerry's, our great local option.

I have been renovating my house. After stopping in several times for small common items only to be told, "we're out of that" I don't bother anymore. I should have stopped going long ago. When I went in to price kitchen cabinets, only to find no one around, I could hear the staff having a great time in the back, returning from lunch. When they came, out not one said a word to me. When I enquired, they couldn't find the cabinet person and no one knew where she was. Convenient? Yes. Worth my time? Only for drywall mud. (its close to the door).

My "sitter" used my dog and this service as a play date so he could get a break from his horrible untrained puppy. My dog was abused by his dog the entire time he was with the sitter. He slept the entire way home and when I got home my dog was traumatized by being battered by his dog.

It took thirty six hours for him to return to normal. I was in fear the whole time that trauma from an uncaring, horrible, self serving (you fill in the blank). What a horrible, arrogant p@$*ck my sitter was. His puppy had barely been trained and the sitter used my dog to get relief from his puppy monster.

He claimed he supervised the dogs and said, "In all honesty I took pictures as proof he was supervising the dogs, but the proof was in my dogs behavior. The sitter also relayed that my dog nearly got out of his yard, saying he was "relieved" that he got my dog back.

Do not take the risk that I did! I received unsafe, unsecured care by Mommy Dearest!
