DIS Dads DDC XVIII - Spring Fever!

Hey Jeff, sorry you're going through this.

The TV they are offering, what is the regular retail price of it if you were going to buy it?

As someone who runs a help desk, all I can say is when the supervisor calls, don't "go off" on him. If he has any power to do anything more for you, you will get a lot further if you lay out your case, let them know you are very upset, and let them know their company has put him in an akward position.

Two lines that go pretty far are:

"I understand you didn't make the decision to stop making the parts but there has to be something more you can do."

and "You have to realize from my point this will make me seriously reconsider buying or recommending another Samsung product at any time in the future."

I'd post this question on "the other site".

Aaron (who lives there more) probably has some good advice for ya.

Aaron had a good answer on facebook for this... Lawyers...

This year, that's exactly what I expect. But part of being a Cubs fan is allowing the Cubs to break your heart every year. It's just that this year my heart-wounds will scab over and turn to stone pretty early in the season thus preventing more wounds. I'm looking at 2014 as the next time I have high expectations.

Since I have no pro sport teams here, I have always followed the NL central, probably because that was all that was on the TV. So, while not a particular fan of any, I have followed Reds, Cardinals, Cubs, and Brewers. That other TX team, not so much. So, while not a fan, i have watched them over the years. Is there even a wild card chance this year?

We just had a Navy F/A-18 Hornet crash into a neighborhood apartment complex in Virginia Beach (About 15 minutes from me). The pilots are ok with injuries... and no reported injuries/death on the ground... but please pray for the people involved in this accident.

Give him a break

I think I know someone who has to update one as well

i dont remember what i did two days ago much less two years ago.

Consecutive day ownage. Back to Back.



At least you have a pro sports venue. My 8 time National Champion UK Basketball team is 3 hours away and only a college team. Reds are 4 hours away. Tennessee Titans are 2.5 hours away, but neither are KY teams.



Guilty. Until the boats get backed up too deep, I realize I am in a happy world. I'll go check the mail again. Sometimes, th pony express isn't to reliable.



I like the UP movie and characters, but would prefer Carl and Dug over Russell.



Now that you have your iPhone, download the photobucket app, do your live TR, and you won't eve have to worry about it again.



Wasting vacation time? There can't be such a thing.

i have the photobucket ap.

Morning all!! A little story for Friday:

This took place about 20 years ago when my Niece was 5, DW and I lived about an hour away from my sister. Since my sister is 12 years older than me, DW and I always prided ourselves on being "the cool" Aunt and Uncle. We found out we were going to be working on Easter Sunday so we made plans to visit the weekend before. When my Niece woke up on that Sunday we had created our own "mini version" of Easter, complete with egg hunt and a bunch of toys and candy.
Now I know what you're thinking, "You cannot mess with the Easter Bunny-Time Continuum", well we had a plan for that!
DW is Maltese (little country just south of Sicily) and we told an elaborate story of "The Maltese Easter Bunny". Now, the Maltese Easter bunny visits the families of all the Maltese people all over the world, but since he doesn't have a sleigh like Santa he has to take a plane, and since it's 12 hours to fly from Malta to Canada it is just easier for everyone if he makes his North America visits the week before to ensure he has plenty of time to get back to Malta in case he gets bumped off a flight or misses a connection.
Well my Niece was thrilled, my Sister was happy, everything was right with the universe, and our status of "Greatest Aunt and Uncle Ever" was further solidified.......

Right?

WRONG!

My Sister calls me about 10:00 the next morning, NOT Happy!

You see, my Niece went to school and during "share time" shared the legend of the Maltese Easter Bunny, which immediately set off waves of crying and various level of anger amongst her classmates whom the bunny did not visit!

I need help Please
this is the story I bought a Samsung TV in "2008" the last 2 months i have been having trouble with it , then my luck changed get a letter from Samsung they got a class action suit against them for 2 parts that they will send a tech over to try and fix it , I was not home my fil was he played with buttons and it turned on . basically he said it could be the cable box which it was not . about a week after it started to happend again they made a tech come over but this time he said he would order the parts that Samsung will cover but he did not look at the TV this trip . so Today i get a phone call from Samsung saying they do not make these parts and they can do an exchange for me . Ok what the deal how much i said they said $650.00 so i said to the lady wait your company puts a defective part in TV's and you want the consumer to pay more for your mistake ! . I said can you have a supervisor call me please so now i wait for the supervisor to call me !
are they really allowed to pro rate something that was defective from the beging ? and allowed to do this ?
any help would be awesome Thank you for letting me rant
Jeff
thank you Dads

Let me tell you.. I went through the sme thing! Tv would turn on and off by itself.. Wouldn't turn on when I wanted it to! Took me 3 months but they exchanged it with a larger screen and delivered it to my house!! Good luck!! I didn't pay a dime more

Not a chance. We'll challenge Houston and Baltimore in the race to 100 losses.

An epic story like this one definitely did solidify you add the cool aunt and uncle... Maybe just more so now than then....

Baltimore lost to a community college. I think they've got that locked up. The Cubs are so bad they can't even win at sucking.

Went online after I heard about the crash. Glad you checked in.

Saw that. At least the Marlins didn't do that. But they could go 0-3 tonight. Have 20 games that I have tickets for so it could get painful. Plenty of beer will numb the pain though. And Norm, other than the Heat, Miami does not have professional sports teams.

But, at least there are other pro teams that can come there and play.

You can say you left it that way intentionally for the Easter Egg hunt.
