It doesn't matter if it's going to be a long and expensive process. That's just the way it's going to be. Don't come to me and complain about it.

You clearly know nothing about FAA requirements.

The **** I won't! The word on the streetz was already that you'd
gone crazy. Then somebody dropped the dime on you here where I see
you shooting off your mouth about how you own MY music AND the name
of the band? You were groupie at best. You didn't do shit except
**** with your tape deck and record the songs which you're now
claiming are yours!?!?!?!??!?. This was a long time ago John and
we've all moved on to better times. And you have the nerve to claim
those 3 months out of a lifetime 40 years ago are yours only and
that you had your "computer experts" give you permission to own MY
music? Yeah, I'll contact you - right in the ****ing face with my
fist if I ever see you I don't care how disabled you are.

My my! Bitter, are you? :-(

I DID name the band when I said "What else is there except Cheep Effects...as opposed to expensive effects?"

But I don't care, YOU can have it all. You own and administer CheepEffects.com, so run with it. I hope it makes you a million dollars!

SOMEONE has CheepEffects.COM with the ability to put Weirdos On The Street and Quicksand up on it!

You can't 'withdraw' a domain name rental agreement. You paid for 2
years and you can't back out of it. You were telling the truth
before, and now you're lying.

I think there's Sqwertz, Hank Rogers, Greg Sorrow and the Boner Troll.
The Boner Troll is the big frogger and probably also produces the
psychiatric, angry posts against John.

Nope! No meat in my Compost, vegetables, eggshells and that's all! Yes it has an odor especially when I break up the Winterized pucks and carry it up to the Garden Beds early Spring, a wheelbarrow 1/2 full load at a time!

You might want to buy a gardening book and read the first half of it. It
will tell you how to compost and also how to transplant.

Here's an interesting story about returning defective products.

Back in 1972, I worked in a furniture store. One of the old salesmen
came in one morning with an old wind-up alarm clock that he had
purchased from Sears 13 years before. It had quit working so he was
going to the nearby Sears store at lunchtime to return it and complain.

We all laughed.

Sure enough though, he came back after lunch with a brand new free
replacement.

Back in the 1970's John bought a cheap serrated bread knife with a red
plastic handle, which came with a 25 year guarantee. That was why he
chose it. I laughed at the ridiculous guarantee so he secretly kept it.
Men are like that.

Damn thing fell apart when it was only 24 years old, so he sent it
back to the manufacturer. They replaced it.

I took a broken chair back to Ikea more than 10 years after I bought it.
One of the reasons I bought was that it came with a lifetime guarantee.
I had the receipt, but it was hardly legible. They tried to deny the
return saying that they no longer offer the life time guarantee and said
it was now only 10 years. I didn't care if they no longer offer the life
time guarantee. They did when I bought it. I got my money back.

Back in the 70's I worked for a company with a lifetime guarantee on all
products. We got very few back but the publicity and goodwill was
fantastic. The returns were not from defects but abuse, wear, accidents
and it made loyal customers. They were hobby products so if you made
one customer happy he told all the club members of his good experience.

This woman tried to return something from a photo on her phone. Caused
an incident at a Pier One.

You think you've heard them all, but every day someone come up with a
dumber story.

"She was screaming at, swearing, insulting, and threatening the staff as
she demanded to return an item she didn't have with her, just a photo of
the item on her phone," Sprague wrote in her Facebook caption about the
confrontation. "The staff were professional and respectful. But they
couldn't return an item she didn't actually have with her."

Wow. What a bitch. Just one question. I have to wonder why they
mention that the women she coughed on was being treated for a brain
tumor. Dare I suggest that if that indicated that she was somehow
weakened and vulnerable, perhaps she should not have started recording
the encounter. That is not unlike starting a fist fight with your arm in
a sling and complaining that it was unfair. She was interferring in the
case of a woman who was obviously imbalanced.

On another group some years ago, a poster wrote of the trouble he was
having trying to return a product to Home Depot - in spite of the fact
that he couldn't remember from whom he had bought the item.
I got a lot of flack for questioning his morals.

A couple years ago we were in Home Sense and trying to check out but
were held up by a guy trying to return something without a bill. He
looked kind a weird bu also looked like he had money, which we thought
explained the good looking blonde with him. It turned out she was not
with him and was in fact someone my wife used to teach with. After much
bickering with the sales clerk the supervisor showed up and informed the
guy that they do not sell that product and never did.


Best money back I ever got was from Via Rail many years ago. I had
taken the train from Toronto to St.Catharines and the train was full so
a bunch of us had to sit in the baggage car. I wrote a nice letter and
explained how unfair I thought it was for me to pay a full fare and not
even have a seat. I suggested that I should only have to pay for a piece
of freight my size and thought I was entitled to a discount because I
got on and off by myself did not bite anyone and did not pee on the
floor. They sent me a full refund.

I bought a not cheap hand crank can opener about 10 years ago, it was a
well-known brand that escapes me at the moment. But I really had my
doubts as it had a plastic bushing on the handle. Less than 2 years later
it broke making it completely useless. I had saved the receipt and card
it was attached to and returned it because it had a lifetime guarantee.
They replaced it free of charge but I gave it to my neighbor since I had
already bought a Kitchenaid that did not have that plastic bushing.

Nor those that disagreed with me!
