What a rip off.  I paid to have 2 new front tires put on my car (along with a lot of other work).  A couple of weeks after I got the repairs done, I noticed that my NEW tires had very little tread, and they did not match.  Instead of 2 new tires, I got 2 used ones, but was charged for new. —  I also paid to have new front brake pads, new rotors, new lower ball joints, and an all-wheel alignment.  Did I get all USED parts???  Did they actually do the alignment? —  Because I got cheated on the tires, I wonder how much of the other parts were used and I also wonder if the labor I paid for was actually completed.  — After spending $664, the "mechanic" told me I needed about another $500 worth of work (I believe, because the care has over 111,000 on it).  He blew my trust completely, and I will NEVER return to this place!!! —  I will NEVER go back to this store EVER!!!...

Of course, you don't see the bullhooks and the torture when you go to the circus, that's all hidden from view.  If more people knew what really goes on when no one is looking, a lot more people would boycott animal circuses. —  I wish I could give less than one star - like a negative 100 stars. —  For more info, including graphic videos visit http://circuses.com/pdfs/RinglingFactsheet.pdf —...

I'm letting my points grow and grow. — If you're interested, go to www.homescan.com and sign up.  You may not be automatically selected, but they...

But I've tried very many juice combinations and most of them were great.  Overall, this is a great product, fairly easy to clean.  The machine comes with recipes, or you can easily create your own - just throw in your favorite fruit and/or vegetables and you've got a great tasting juice.  Vitamin packed and as fresh as you can get. — ...

A few bottles of shampoo and conditioner, dinner rolls, complete meal kits, scented candles, full-size bottles of fabric softener and laundry detergent. — You earn points which can be redeemed for cash, merchandise, or charity donations.  Check it out, I'm sure you'll love it. —...
