You make good points and I too understand the dynamics between owner/operator and customer but it would seem that you place most of the impetus on the customer in the buying experience.... What is the actual responsibility of the customer service rep? To open the doors,display the merchandise,answer some mostly annoying and repetitive questions,take your payment and not go apeshit before closing? Seems to be a rather jaundiced view of customer service don't you think? Look ,we've all been to retail establishment where the service is either overly salacious,prefunctory at best,hostile,uninterested or smacking of the hard sell and then the educated customer walks out and shops on line.. The buying experience has to work both ways regardless of the "personality" and tone of the establishment and I believe we have lost sight of this very important fact. By the way there seems to be quite a lot of drooling in your buying experience however I do tend to get excited in butcher shops and bakeries myself.

I believe those have been outlawed as well due to a documented increase of slashing and stabbings especially in immigrant enclaves and {surprise!} sporting events.

Very timely subject, I just received the LA Police gear bug out bag they had on sale last week for $14.99.

I sent S&B an Email and now waiting for a reply, in the interim I wiped down 15 rounds with a mild degreaser, dried them and then wiped them down with a silicone coated cloth and taking them to the range next week. Seem like a bit of effort in order to shoot them but we'll see.

Any harm in soaking them in hot soapy water? ie: leakage, wet powder., because I believe it has to do with the tacky shells.

My mags or gun then?

I bought the S&B 9mm last time they had a sale and experienced FTEs every third round with my Sig p250. Phil at SS was even puzzled because the gun shot flawlessly with everything else. I did notice that the rounds felt slightly tacky out of the box. Still have 200+ rounds. Maybe I should soak them in some dish washing liquid.

Many thanks to Maksim for defusing a potentially expensive and embarrassing mistake. Thanks again .

Actually they TRIED to confiscate all registered firearms... Two problems. very few were registered and even fewer were registered in legal names. there are still stories of all the guns buried in family compounds where the patriarch forgot the location.

Considering that just about everyone that can afford it carries in The Philippines and the gun culture is so strong with established and underground gun clubs,long range shooting ranges in the provinces and supposedly fierce competition between college shooters, I'm surprised you would be surprised.

Yep, now he can stop bitching and moaning and actually offer customer service..... or change careers all together and get into the Hospitality industry.

The scenes in the Chinese Restaurant in Wong Foo was actually filmed in a restaurant on Kennedy Blvd in Jersey City which has since closed but we used to go there for parties and good old American Chinese.

Very nice,it reminds me of a dive resort where we stayed in the south China seas called El Nido. 100 ft visibility and sealife I have never seen before.

They are proported to be able breath air and live out of water for up to 5 days just a long as they are in a wet environment. Also to be able to move on land because of their tough scales and strong fins.

Mutual and equal participation has always been my bench mark. Casual observation is easier and less taxing when done remotely..

Two chicks at the same time is overrated and distracting unless their into each other......or so I've heard.

An import from Asia that has become a top predator in rivers and streams in the US since being introduced several years ago, now eating through several indigenous fish species,frogs and some say rats.Ironically they offer some firm, white,flaky flesh that even stands up to a grill.

good eating.....

Truk is the big destination for wrecks, but I heard from a diver friend that Yap has shallower dives on smaller wrecks and better for seeing big rays and sharks. Also better resorts and food.

Good to know... but still not convinced about Norton, which in my mind is at times worse than what it proports to prevent.

Wreck dive Yap lagoon. Lap the Nurburgring in a hot Porsche. Make a perfect souffle. Own a bespoke suit. Own a Kramer chef's knife. Find my Grand fathers Luger.

I've had the same problem with a newer 7 installation on a wiped laptop and a new netbook. I use Webroot for all my security needs and CCleaner for cleanup and maintainance.So to get rid of their built in viruses especially those Free trial virus protection programs, I install the CCleaner first, use that to clear out the offending programs and then install any thing I want. After. if you really want to destroy any malware or insidious virus,look into installing Search and Destroy.

These are mine: 1. The Italian Job. The original 1969 movie, My first car was a 67 Cooper. 2. The Big Blue. Basically a movie about free diving. 3. Apocalypse Now. IMO the best Viet Nam movie ever made. 4. Star Wars. The Millennium Falcon 5. Mosquito Coast. Reminds me of home.

You've been attached to a 30 too long, try free diving.

I own my own business so there was no lie involved, i just happen to have 2 jobs.
