I recently bought a patio recliner through Kmart. When we put it together found it was bent. Contacted customer service who promptly sent us another, no charge--but this too was defective. I know you get what you pay for, but I at least expect it to be undamaged--after all, I didn't buy it scratch and dent! Be prepared to check it carefully and send back if needed.

When my "basic cable" went up to $80 a month I started looking around. I live in a wooded, rural area, so I can't use either an antenna or a dish. I got a roku ($50) and for $20 a month (and an internet connection) I can get both real time and streaming channels. No contracts, month-to-month payment. It doesn't replace broadcast TV or cable, but it is a real alternative. Downside, only works on 1 devise at a time (remember when we watched TV together as a family) and Sling doesn't transmit the big 3 (ABC, NBC, CBS), Check out the stations it does have, (ESPN, Disney, Lifetime) and the ability to add HBO for $15 a month at a time. Love it!

Ancestry has changed to a "new format" effective 12/15/15. On any given day some function no longer works. For example yesterday it wouldn't calculate relationships. Today it says I "match 17 trees" but none will load. The help forum keeps saying "clear your cache" or "refresh" or "try another browser, cause forefox won't work". All I know is, it used to work on my computer, now they expect me to be some sort of computer whizz to use their site. My analysis: it no longer works!
