re: Getting my first ever MRI in 20 minutes

Nothing to it, unless you are claustrophobic or something like that. They have plenty of air circulating in the tube, so if you are cold natured, take the blanket when offered.
Seems like you have to lay still for about 20 minutes. Damn good diagnostic tool.

re: When is the last time you’ve returned something?
Posted by Spankum on 5/11/26 at 11:09 pm to PotatoChip
I recently bought a flush ball for a toilet at Lowes and got home to find that I had bought the wrong one. Since I had the receipt and hadn’t opened it, I decided to return it.
When I got there, the lady at the “customer service” desk started giving me flak about returning the item. I asked her if I could see the item and turned around and dropped it and the receipt in a trash can directly behind me. As I walked off, I heard about 3 customers in line behind me laughing.
Within 5 minutes, I had the correct flush ball and was headed to the parking lot.

Sure will be…$700 per ticket minimum on stubhub now. I think the face value in the LSU section is about $250.

Well, energy prices are the reason for all of the other high prices you mentioned…
Grocery prices, yes. My insurance and utilities , no
Man, you don’t think energy prices affect utility bills? Your power bill has literally got a line item on it to tell you how much the energy costs are.
By the way, insurance and utilities are both regulated by your state government…the government quite literally tells them what rates to charge.

Fuel expenses are the least of the high
Prices I’m paying that bothers me. Groceries, utilities, insurance premiums piss me off far more.

Trouble is, when energy prices go down, inflation does go down. However, prices do not go down.

It just seems like there’s a disproportionate amount of them in MS.
I can answer this…
Misssissippi car tags are based on the value of your vehicle. It is relatively cheap when you’ve got an old vehicle, but car tags can run $1000 per year on a new vehicle. The $30 custom tag fee is relatively small when you are talking about that kind of money for a vehicle registration.
People flip out when they see my Mississippi tag with LSU logos on it!

Man, what the hell is wrong with you? You have the opportunity to have a nice, relaxing day where you cook a little something on the grill and watch some baseball. Yet you want to fall squarely into some family drama which you don’t need to be involved?
Just take your wife to lunch next Sunday when there will be no crowds. This is a golden opportunity!

Theoretically, that is supposed to happen through loss of business by the consumers. In the old days if you had money in a bank and someone stole your money, would we use that bank again? I don’t think so…
Unfortunately, we are too lazy to bother not using companies that lose our data.

is this still a problem if the soil is properly compacted?
Yes, clay soils expand and contract so much when exposed to moisture that it causes problems. In August, there will sometimes be 3” gap between the soil and my foundation,
