jtry1953 says "Sad excuse for a cell phone!" about Samsung - Samsung SGH T219 Cell Phone

jtry1953 — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 18:29:02 GMT

Turn your head an inch and lose your call, buttons stick, dials all by itself sometimes-very embarassing.....apps don't work properly.
My son HAD the same model with all the same problems. A phone to be avoided, as the manufacturee does not respond to complaints- their attitude, just buy another more expensive Samsung model, it'll be better....Fugghedaboutit!!!!...

jtry1953 says "Even the little girl who begged for it hated the taste!" about Breyers Disney Fairies Swirled Lofat Yogurt

I was grocery shopping the other day when the little girl accompanying me begged for Breyer's Disney Fairies yogurt. Since it was on sale and I had a high value coupon for it, I obliged. Upon reaching home, she couldn'twait to tear into it. One spoonful and her face said it all, as she quickly tossed the carton in the trash. I have never seen a little-kid BEG for mouthwash so quickly. I figured she was simply being a little drama queen, so I foolishly tried a tub. I forgot the basic axiom that little kids have few or no tastebuds. The bright orange striped glop in the tub should have sent up a red flag. The fact that it smelled exactly like a baby aspirin should have made me toss it on the spot. Yes, I admit that I was guilty of the willing suspension of disbelief, but I ewwwww, tasted the slime. It was an-odd cross between spackling compound and a cheap artificially flavored popsicle. I couldn't toss it fast enough. We both popped open one tub of the "cherry" flavor,...

jtry1953 says "Ugh!!!" about Fred & Steve's Steakhouse - Lincoln, RI

jtry1953 — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:14:11 GMT

Fred & Steves left me cold. I don't just mean the experience-was unpleasant, the-food wasn't served at appropriate temperatures. Service was exceptionally sloooooooow. I mean a 45 minute wait for an entree that arrived STONE COLD? The other members of our party gave up and when we tried to get our server to at least bring our salads....we were totally ignored. This is yet one more of Twin river's shortcomings. The place can't even pay their bills. Shut it down, bulldoze it and build affordable housing. That's the only way that piece of property will ever have a positive impact on the town of Lincoln, the state of Rhode Island and the world as a whole....

jtry1953 says "Bzz is Beautiful!!" about BzzAgent.com

I have been a BzzAgent for almost one year and I have to say it has had a profoundly positive impact on my life. Being a gal who simply loves sharing a good thing when I find it, BzzAgent is probably the best concept I've ever run across. As I travel through my day, I am constantly sharing tips, tricks and useful information with the folks I meet. Bzzing comes naturally, of course and when I found out I could become an agent and have even greater opportunities for sharing, I couldn't sign up fast enough. If you're like me and you enjoy learning about and trying great products, services and websites, then come join me as a BzzAgent.

Lately, BzzAgent seems to be slipping, especially since they teamed up with My Points. Now I get all kinds of weird telemarketing calls and tons of junk mail. I don' know if it's related or not, but it seems strangely suspect to me. I do blameMy Points, though rather than BzzAgent, since this problem only arose after the changeover in the BzzPoint...

jtry1953 says "Utz Crab Chips rule!!" about Utz Quality Foods - Potato Chips

jtry1953 — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:43:06 GMT

Utz Crab Chips are totally addictive and I'm having withdrawal symptoms as I am writing this. They're hard to find here and I buy several whenever I see them. Even a traditional crab boil doesn't fulfill my "need." I have even tried shaking regular, plain chips in a zip top baggie with Bays Crab seasoning, but it still doesn't help. I am thinking of starting a snack food detox group, any takers????? ...

jtry1953 says "I can't hear you~AGAIN!!!" about T-Mobile

jtry1953 — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 20:19:29 GMT

When my son convinced me to sign up for Flex-Fay and My Faves, I thought I was doing the right thing. I was misled from the get-go at the corporate store neat my home. I certainly did not get what I was promised. Instead, I got stuck with a phone that has numerous glitches, a Samsung 1219 and service that works when it wants to. I get static both from the network during calls and their excuse for customer care when I try to resolve the many service issues I have encountered. Frequently- at least once a day, I have no signal at all, even when I'm standing perfectly still. I experience at least three dropped calls per day and it has caused me much grief, especially when I'm speaking with my doctor's staff as I have many problems with my asthma. I really don't feel safe using their service and I have been actively investigating my options in an effort to avoid a potential medical crisis caused by T-Mobile's service issues....
