Re:How Your Returns Are Used Against You at Best Buy, Other Retailers

I still compare prices when I'm about to buy something from Amazon and they are almost always the cheapest still. That's even before considering the 5% rewards the amazon credit card gives me. Maybe you are seeing certain types of merchandise that went up there? Or my purchase habits just happen to line up with their pricing more than yours.

Yeah, looking at the position, that would pay more than that in Portland. Not sure who is going to do that in NYC.
Re:Why do people put on differing amounts of weight?

I find the exact opposite to be most effective with myself and the others I have seen in groups around me. Eat food that is nutrient dense and filling and take out empty carbs and you can succeed at eating less a whole lot easier. And that is when people who have been overweight for a long time succeed in the long term.

With T-mobile I pay $100 (+ ~$8 tax/fees) for 2 smartphones with unlimited everything (data is never cut off or throttled as well). Look into a new plan!

That's not true any more. The brakes can be killed remotely with software.

Thanks for posting about the ResMed Swift FX, I use a Mirage Activa, and kind of want to change so I don't have to shave my upper lip everyday. I might try the Swift FX out shortly, my current mask needs replacing.
I will also add for the other poster(s), properly treating sleep apnea is huge for overall health, and helps you feel a lot better everyday. Risk of stroke goes down and a lot of other big health impacts.

That's not correct at all. You don't need website hosting to have a domain, and you could use free google apps on any domain you own, without paying for a host.

Happy hour means if you buy a drink, you get cheap food. I don't go to places like that much, but if I do it means I can buy a Coke or whatever and get a $4 plate that would be $8 usually. It is intended for alcoholic drinks, but applies to other drinks as well where I've gone.

It will work, Facebook accepted my landline number just fine. There is no need to have an SMS message sent.
