Oh, one last thing....Bratz dolls are putrid and any parent allowing their child to play with them is complete trash. Sorry to offend, but this one I TRULY abhor. All those things do is teach our kids that slvts are just fine, and when you grow up you too can be a streetwalker! I guess people are just REALLY in a rush for grandkids or something.

Gee I had been thinking, when reading Radar's post, that I'd seen street walkers that were more modest and respectable looking than most Bratz dolls, but leave it to Pete to put it succinctly in a post. Rest assured my daughter will never have one or related licensed products.

Yeah, there is that. But besides the fact that we as a society are encouraging our little girls to be trashy (Barbie was bad enough, but BRATZ are terrible) by making the BRATZ dolls out sell Barbie, I've got some real issues with Mattel letting this product go on so long, letting MGA absorb all the risk involved, waiting until BRATZ outsells the formerly #1 selling doll in the world,......and now suddenly the MGA product BRATZ belongs to Mattel too. BRATZ sold for years before this was ever an issue. Had the BRATZ dolls lost all kinds of money, I doubt that Mattel would have cared, but once they get their butts handed to them by another company, that's when they remember that they think they own BRATZ too.

I have been a verizon wireless customer for about 6 years now. A couple of years ago I expanded my service so that I could have 2 cell phones, one for me, one for my (at the time) girl friend. From that point on I have been very unhappy with my cell phone plan.... Through the most of it I would just grin and bear it, but every month I would get billed $98 for a $59.99 plan. How in the world can they just tack on another $40? I called several times, telling them I think my plan should be cheaper, and they would tell me every time that my plan was the cheapest plan they had to offer for 2 lines.
Well, this past thursday my cars were broken into (again!), and it seems that I forgot my phone in the car that night, because now it is nowhere to be found.... So I used this opportunity to cancel my verizon account (no way Im buying another d**n verizon phone).... I do have to pay $180 in "early disconnect fees", but if you look to see how much I would have to pay in the remaining 6 months (at $98 a month) on the plan, Im saving a bundle!
So I had to look around for an alternative for long distance calls, as my home phone service is stripped down to the bare minimum (and only $15 a month thank you)... And I found this wonderful thing called Skype, with it Im getting 10,000 minutes that I can use to call anywhere in the united states, for get this... $2.95 a month.... Beat that verizon! Oh, and no, they dont tack on a mysterious extra $40 a month for seemingly no reason.

Glad you found a solution that works for you. Skype is VOIP right?

STICK IT TO THE CELL-PIRATES MAN! And sorry to hear about the girlfriend...
Here's my gripe of the day....PROCESSED CHEESE FOOD. Kraft singles are not cheese. I doubt they ever have been, nor will they ever be. So why do they call it 'Grilled Cheese' sandwiches when they're made with Kraft Singles? They're actually not grilled either - they're usually panfried! Why aren't they called "Fried Breaded Fat Sandwiches with Cheese Flavor"? Or perhaps just "Fried Death"? And why do we feed this crap to our children, then tell them they need to exercise so they don't get fat?

Healthier, and vegan-friendly. ;D

I can see where Pete is coming from, but those (the slices) are actually a regular part of my daughter's diet to help minimize seizures. Anyone else should restrict the consumption thereof, but they work well for her.

This is pretty small, but I ABSOLUTELY HATE when someone texts you just to ask "what's up". It really is a waste of a text, and it just kills me. Especially when if you answer, that's the end of the conversation. Nothing important, just a waste of time. I hate it even more when someone can't even produce two words, and has to say "sup" or when someone creates their own word meaning the same thing like "watsop". That is all.

I was in WalMart a few hour ago to get some OJ ( I got a Magic Bullet blender, it's fantastic) and check out their DS games and prices (I got a Nintendo DS a few days ago, I'm planning on learning Spanish on it).
But I thought I would check out the toy isle for laughs. I saw some new Indiana Jones Adventure heroes, some wrestling figures, 2 packs of SW Series 3 Attacktix, and some other stuff.
YES, I said 2 packs of series 3 Attacktix, I figure some kid returned them. But I got real excited, I was wondering what kind of amazing deal I was going to get on these, they would probably be just a few cents the way the prices fall over time. After all WalMart is the home of Roll Back prices, and these things would have been rolling back for years. Sadly no, they were $6.97, so I left them for some little kid to get another day.
But Walmart! You claim that you are the home of Roll Back prices. You are a liar and a fraud. And more so, an enemy of America. Roll back the American wage, roll back overtime laws, roll back American Small Business, roll back laws regarding the hiring of illegal aliens, roll back working conditions in Chinese sweat shops, roll back the employment rate, roll back the end of legitimized racism & sexism in promotion practices, but apparently the one thing you don't roll back are Attacktix prices.
WalMart, go roll back yourself.

WalMart, go roll back yourself. Hell yeah! The so called "clearance isle" at wal-mart is a joke. They mark things down a little, and just leave them there for ever at that price. They next to never mark them down any farther. I recently bought a wireless printer from the clearance isle, marked at $80, and the sticker said it was originally $130. When I got home I noticed the original price tag on the other side of the box that said $119.99... So the clearance sticker is a liar!... Still a pretty good deal though, the printer is great. But see, my faience works at tractor supply, and they actually mark things down. She bought an under the counter florescent lamp thing the other day for 7 cents... Yes, 7 cents... It was originally $20.

What exactly do you need an 'under the counter' flourescent lamp for, eh Malform? Perhaps an 'under the desk' lamp, hmmmm?? Lucky dog, you..... Current gripe. Ok, my fiance's nice has been staying with us on and off for the past couple of years now. The first time because her father couldn't seem to make sure she got to school every day.... The second time because he was in rehab. These first 2 times her mother was nowhere to be found.... And now he is in jail for possession, and is looking at a good amount of time. She is currently living with her mother who just showed up a few months ago, but she was informed by the police (as Im told) that she needs to make sure her daughter is provided for because they are hauling her butt into jail as well. So, once again, I guess Im going to have an extra kid in my home. Now, see.... I dont know who to be mad at here... Obviously its not the girls fault, she cant help that she has a couple of losers for parents. But I cant be 100% ticked at her father either. The man has a serious problem, and has actually been trying to get help (it really isnt as easy as it seems to be for movie stars). Bah I dont know... I just know I am going to have another mouth to feed once again... Possibly for a much longer time this time around... And I just feel like I should be pissed at someone.
