Here's mine:
Never sign up for a 2 yr or 1 yr contract with Verizon FIOS.
Or if you do NEVER change anything on your order (add or remove, upgrade or downgrade). The product is great but the Billing department is out to get you, oh yes they are.
I've called them several times every month every time the bill comes ... there's always something new and strange on it.
*mumbles incoherently*

Never buy glasses at Lenscrafters.

I have several long stories and not enough time to tell them, so just trust me, don't buy glasses at Lenscrafters.

You know where my favorite place is to buy glasses ... shhh don't tell anyone, Walmart. I don't shop at Walmart. The only thing I buy at Walmart is eyeglasses.

Val, we are going to need to buy almost all new kitchen appliances. I have a fridge picked out and a dishwasher picked out, but I haven't picked out a stove top or oven yet. Thanks for the heads up on the stove...

You may be able to take those rusty grates to a machine shop, have them sand blasted and re-coated. I will ask my hubs where you should take them (he is in charge of metal repair...).

My granddaughter and I went out to Circuit City this past weekend to buy some cheap movies. I saw so many people walking out with new electronics. As we were going through the checkout line the cashier was telling everyone (no matter what they bought) "all sales are final". Of course this is because of Circuit City going out of business but it made me stop and think - why would you buy such an important purchase from them? I mean, who's going to service it if something goes wrong? It's one of those things that make me go....Never do this.

Never play with your self using vicks mentho rub.

Never buy glasses at Wal Mart. I paid over $ 300.00 for glasses at Wal Mart, exactly 3 months and two days later the temple broke, then the rim around the lens broke. I took them back and was told they had a three month warranty.
What a crock, they were obviously a piece of junk to start with.
Go to any company with a sense of decency, Wal Mart is not that company.
I would add in my opinion of that company, but there might be women and children reading this.

Never eat yellow snow.

Never pay $300 for a pair of glasses.

I buy the cheapest frames and the cheapest lenses and can walk out of there spending about $78 on glasses.

to some of the past post....
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!

but mine is.... never coir, the kind that looks like old tangled fishing line, to your compost.
unless you like red hair.

Val, and this is for anyone else. Take your grates to someone that does sandblasting/powder coating. Loo in the automotive section of your yellow pages or stop by a reputable body shop. The powder coater will strip your parts to bare metal and apply a powder coating, like paint only harder. You can specify a high temp coating and you have a large variety of color choices.
