Every time...

but anyways, the 80 GB version of the same drive went on sale for $53!!

Every time.....

Why are there only 2 dipping sticks in a pack of fun dip? There are three sections of flavored sugar, but only two dipping sticks, It is enough to make one go insane.

I'm fed up with all of the protestors. The peaceful ones dont bother me much but the ones who break the law and cause problems really anger me. Breaking the law wont do any good. If you want to do something useful go and wash a car or pick up trash, try to do things to make others happy. Help someone with their groceries or ask if you can take their grocery cart back.
