Comcast - out of their f*** minds - ROBBER BARRONS
RATING:

Thumbs Down

they want min $70/month for internet service. If you are lucky to get the triple play (phone and cable included), you can get for as low as $120. Add anything to it and you are at $200 (premium channels, dvr, extra outlets). I want to own comcast, they are the new robber barrons.
AOL free email and I like the content

THis is almost like the old yahoo. Lots of good news, sports content and an okay email service. After I signed up, I got some bad reviews.
I decided to stay on neutral email accounts and after experimenting, I liked AOL. I won't use a limited email account tied to an internet provider again. It is a pain in the ass to restart a new service when you change service providers. I think OUTLOOK is too limiting, have to be on the same computer all the time. I want to access my email from any computer. AOL offers unlimited storage, I never have to delete a note. Let me know what you think about AOL.
Don says you were not able to send notes with old messages attached, but my reply notes have my old notes attached. Anyone else have a grip before I invest too much.
Robbing the piggy bank - comcast robber barons

After years of discounts, I finally settled on a regular price $180 /month for my internet, phone and cable tv. I thought they were out of their mind. I bailed. I can get internet, phone and satellite for $90/month with Att/dish. I was worried that my internet might slow down but was amazed, it was faster. I got two dvr's, four rooms, internet, phone, and internet for almost $100 less /month. The only difference with the packages was unlimited long distance calling and I already had that on my cell phone. I only needed the phone to get the DSL.
After that experience, I decided to stay on neutral email accounts and after experimenting, I liked AOL. I won't use a limited email account tied to an internet provider again.

All the best.

I am so dissappointed with the way Yahoo went. I used to start with them everyday. Tv listings and weather, to go with my sports scores and news. They were my home page everyday. Now they have revised everything to where it is not as useful. The TV listings got watered down. the connectivity between the calendar and all activities got watered down to where they are useless. I used to keep a public calendar that I could share with my family to coordinate. I keep the account as my fall back but I use other accounts since it doesn't let me send large dist lists. Yahoo assumes spamming.

For the summer, they are offering $2.75/games, almost half everyone else for open play. It is applicable before and after leagues. Take advantage of this summer special. For example, Oakridge charges minimum of $5/game before five and six after. We just went and can't wait to go again.

To appreciate what he has done you have to remember BEFORE:
Maintain distribution lists. Send out emails and reminders, answer every inquiry individually. Create outside solicitations from scratch in non-html format.
NOW: Post an event, all potential participants are notified automatically by the preferences of the participant. The participants are responsible for maintaining a current user id/email account. Any changes, cancellations, or updates only need to be posted and all participants are automatically notified. If a question is posted, it can be addressed by anyone in the group in a timely manner. Reminders can be automatically set. When I want to solicit for participation, Sheldon has made HTML code from my posting so that I all I need to do is cut and paste into other websites for a very professional look. And instead of receiving many individual inquiries, the respondents are directed to the event posting on the Socialwave website for all the details.
I have gone from hours a day to organize, to posting an event or advertisement once and confirming the event. Less than one hour a week. If you want to see Sheldon's work in action, visit SOCIALWAVE.net. My players and I love it.
THis is the smallest and most expensive lees
RATING:

I love lee's sandwiches but this storefront charges more and has less selection than all the other lees. Try the Story Road/ Lucretia Lee's. Big selection of spring rolls, side items and I swear more meat selections also. All for under two dollars a piece.
WATCH OUT FOR THE DRINK PRICES
RATING:

Although the deal is pretty good, BEWARE OF THE DRINK prices. You get an awesome appetizer plate of your choice, great soup or salad, a very tasty although small (6oz on average) piece of meat of your choice (I recommend the prime rib), and all followed with a great dessert, even a la mode if you like. BUT When the bill comes you find that a cup of coffee is the price of a latte (2.50) and a cocktail that is mostly ice and thick glass is absurd ($8).
We have never finished the meal, and always brought the dessert home for another time. The bill with normal tip still came to $62. I could eat lots of places for $62/two persons. Right next door, the fish market is far more reasonable.

PEEE UUUUUUU, this is the most expensive family dining experience I have ever done. The food is small portions and the flavor is absent. Save your money and go to Angelo's, Tony diMaggios, hell Pizza hut has better italian food. They think a large portion serves 4 and they typically charge 25+/order for a large serving. I spent $30 and got a taste of marginal food at best. For spectacular, try Original Joes. For family dining, try Three Flames on meridian. All great values and the taste is memorable. I got better value at buffets.
