Gripe Site 2.0

I'm willing to help a brother anytime I can.
That being said, if you need parts, or recommendation on a repair shop, etc... please put your location in the post.
It's a waste of everyone's time if it turns out you're in Fargo, and here I am in SE Wisconsin telling you where to go for a prop repair.   Obviously that makes no sense.

I know its not a first world problem but it might help someone out.

My gripe today is order two of my meds. The price of one tripled and the other went up five time in price from last time I order it. What is going on with these drug companies. they already have record profits. They just want to skin the mass to make the shareholders happy. If I could get off of the meds. I would!!! Maybe have to stay ordering from Canada.

My gripe is I haven't had anything lately to gripe about!

Elections have consequences. Nuff Said

Common knowledge of the illegal immigrants coming across the border. Talk is they get free cell phones, free medical, free money, free education,  etc etc.. Some convicted of rape and other serious crimes, arrested and then released.  Some are suggesting voting rights, as well as other voting accusations and such.  
Today, due to picking up some kind of virus, I went to Target to buy some cough and decongestant medicine.  
I had to show my drivers license to purchase,  WTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Asians will build anything we ask to spec. T O   S P E C   .
Blame the importer

My wife thought it would be a good idea to get me youngest son a fire pit for his birthday since he tends to spend a good amount of time in his backyard. I did him a favor of assembling it. He didn't even get it out of his car without breaking a leg off of it! And the rest will probably come apart with the first fire! Imagine if these same people are building our car's and other things! Guess I'll be doing some welding soon! How can this country allow something like this to be imported???

Put new tires on my trailer for my boat

Another  POS out on bond kills someone!!!

Wisco, my wife had same issue with an LG phone. Was with US Cellular though. She decided to just keep it so I  turned it off and restarted it and has been fine ever since.

I realized Friday that the (smaller?)  phone speaker on my iphone wasn't working. Only the "louder" speaker worked. I was at Walgreens waiting on a prescription and didn't want to make work calls with everyone able to hear.

So I stopped at the nearest Verizon store to see if the problem could be fixed.

About 10 minutes into a conversation with a nice young man,I realized I was being hustled into buying a new phone instead of getting my "old" (iphone XR) fixed. When I asked about getting this one fixed - since we do pay the insurance on the phones - he said that "this way you don't have to be bothered filing a claim" and since it was only $17 - AND I get a $5/monthly credit to my bill - this way made more sense.

So...the $17 is a one time payment?..."no, that's monthly too." How long?..."36 months".

So...for $600 and change I don't have to be bothered filing a claim?...Do you get commission for selling phones?

He wasn't so nice after that. But yes, he gets commission.

My replacement phone came Saturday.

I'm not some senile old goat that can be fast-talked into unnecessarily spending money. I could outwork and likely outfight that soft-handed, fast talking little sh!t.

I'm tempted to stop by and have a talk with the manager but chances are good that it's store policy to prioritize the selling of new phones over "fixing" the old ones.

There is no way that young salesman could be described as honest and forthright. Dishonest little weasel is more like it.

Shrinkage!

Everything I buy seems smaller these days, and my hand s aren’t getting bigger!

How does that get calculated into inflation….

Thanks,Eyesman...I had cleared it but still had the problem...I left to do a couple jobs,came back and it's magically fixed.

Wisco, if the search bar still has something typed in it, then it will only display what was searched for. You have to manually clear the search bar by using the backspace symbol until the search bar is clear. That may be the problem you’re having. 

I have a Lake-Link search function problem. I had it once before and was given good advice but I do not remember what it was.

I did a search for 'Verizon' on the LL search function. Now Now I can only get the general forum menu - fishing,hunting,campfire,etc - but if I click on that general forum the screen goes back to the search. I can click on a specific subforum - like 'Gripe site 2.0 - but I cannot get the entire subforum menu.

I deleyed LL from the 'recents',shut down the pc,logged out and back in a couple times...

Any hints on how to fix this?

Thanks.

ps - I should have just posted what i was gonna post here on the Gripe Site as it was kind of a gripe - about Verizon - but I figured being more specific was better....I went in with a minor problem with my phone but the guy doesn't want to help fix my phone. He wants to sell me a new phone. (hint: No commission for helping people with the problem they came in for. Commission only for selling a new phone. I'll go into detail later.)
