BigV, they have Central Markets in Seattle?? Do you have H-E-B's too, or have they only expanded the Central Market part of the business?

Perth, I think even Whole Foods was aware that their Austin stores sucked ass--they just opened a huge new Whole Foods supercenter to compete with Central Market. I haven't been, but supposedly it's much more upscale and has a chocolate fountain, of all things...

The satellite thing is new. If your connection can handle it, try "driving" across the country. Very trippy. The sat photo of my house was taken last summer, when we put in the new sidewalks -- you can see the cement truck parked in the driveway.... :mg:

Aieee!

Hmm... the statellite photo on google for my house is at least two years old, since it still has a clean blue pool in the back yard. But the little red arrow was pointing to the wrong house.

A chocolate... fountain.

A CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN.

Goddamn, I'm moving.

If you like chocolate fountains, go to a wedding expo. They had one in Colorado Springs a few months back and there were probably 8 of those things. And they gave samples.

Once in my lifetime was enough for a wedding expo. My vote had "Elope" written on it, but I was outvoted 1 to 1.

How could I forget At&t? Thanks for reminding me, noodle. They are complete idiots. I called them to get a long distance access code number for one time use- I've done it in the past- I KNOW they have them- just like that whole 10-10-321 thing...anyway, they wouldn't give it me, told me I had to sign up for long distance from them, keep sending me bills, I'm not paying them.

And yes, Starbucks coffee tastes burnt- even when you buy it in the grocery store and make it yourself- it's just disgusting.

oh. Knew I forgot something.

British Fucking Telecom. I have a deep and personal loathing of this company. They take this place by managing to fail to send me a bill or take money from my account for 3 months (i've got better things to do than make sure companies take what they're owed) and then rather than telling me and settling up proceeded to cut off my service without any warning and then try and extort money out of my to turn it back on. Despite it being, 100% (and they admitted it) their fault. For failing to ring me back on their 'ring me back' service, repeatedly, for keeping me on hold for longer than anyone else and for taking over a fucking month to install a line. May the free market continue to shit on your fucked up excuse for customer service and hilariously uncompetitive prices.

"Damn and blast British Telecom," he muttered from force of habit.

We used to love QFC in the early '90s. Clean, personal service, happy employees, no friggen savings card. Not the same now. :(

I keep getting errors when I put in a phone number whether I do it at maps.google.com or just google.com.
