Looking for AJ Madison reviews, rants and/or raves...
Comments (48)Bad experience with these AJ Madison, won’t use them again. We purchased an appliance (induction range) and found out before delivery that it wouldn’t work in our apartment. My bad for not understanding this in advance, or for seeing the fine print about the 35% (!) restocking fee hit for canceling the order. But they wouldn’t even work with us to apply a reasonable share of the price we paid to purchase another product from them instead. Just basically told us we’re out of luck. Absolutely their right, and fully disclosed, but seems like really bad business to lose a customer through zero flexibility and understanding. Obviously won’t buy anything from them in the future. Learn the lesson from me: do all your homework, double-check your measurements and installation requirements, and check with your building superintendent before you buy a new appliance. Otherwise, at least with these guys, it will be costly and they will take your money and won’t try to help you out in any way. Thanks for nothing AJ Madison....See MoreTrendy vs. Timeless - sort of a rant
Comments (27)I'm all over the place with my "style"...I just buy stuff that appeals to me. I like the clean lines of "mid-century modern" but I also like carved pieces...we joke that our house is decorated in Early Auction House. Honestly, though...it is. We've only purchased three of the LR pieces new. Everything else is from thrift shops, resale shops, and auction houses. Only "rule" I have is-there will always be a red sofa. I LOVE my red sofa...it's my Mother's Henredon from 1970. Had it lengthened and reupholstered a few years ago...it's about time to have it reupholstered again. (Note to self, no brushed twill this time. It holds cat fur like a lint brush.) My house has what I'd call a "modified" open floor plan. The kitchen is in the front of the house, but I have a pretty significant half wall between it and the dining room. We don't have a television in our LR, so that's not an issue.

Comments (36)Happy birthday, Outside: Rant: On Nextdoor, people post urgent alerts for loose dogs, but when there actually is an urgent alert such as downed power lines or something crime related (like a high speed chase right by our neighborhood during early evening yesterday), they don't post it. Rave: I'm feeling much better, but I still am not wearing anything other than sweatpants with elastic because of my incision locations. I was able to drive in to the office for a few hours on Thursday and Friday, and driving/riding did not bother me. I did not attend the University-wide opening faculty meeting because, again, I am in sweatpants....See MoreAnyone Fly On JetBlue Into JFK? Question and Rant
Comments (5)Yes, all the time and as recently as end July. I've not noticed what you are mentioning but then again I either take Uber, or if it is all of us and copious amount of luggage, a car service. Why wait in line when you can call an Uber as soon as you set foot off the plane? Uber drivers congregate in designated areas just off the terminal, and then they have designated areas where they can pull up. The practical reality is that more people take Ubers than taxis at JFK and so they are accommodating that. PS The "spa" at T5 is a great place to kill time. We were stuck waiting for a BOS cnxn and spend a morning there. And we can't wait to stay at the spiffy PanAM hotel this March on our way to the keys. I love T5 and JetBlue. As far as leaving from arrivals, it varies by airport....See MoreRelated Professionals
