Post your problems here and no doubt some obliging uncle or aunt will help you through them.

What if the problems we're having is with our aunt or uncle?

Gopher · Jul 11 08 11:50

Then that's valid too. Next question please (to be answered by a bona fide aunt/uncle).

It's not quite agony, but my shoulder blade hurts (right side, in the trapezius). I put some dual action A535 on it.

I hope it's ok to walk around smelling like a medicine cabinet.

Yesterday, I must of hit a nerve in my leg, walked like I had a peg leg. It was sad.

HOT TUB !!! That's my 'cure-all' for all aches and pains. Plus you sleep like a baby after a nice hot tubby.

Yeah Hot tubs are good, although I don't know why I see people go from the hot tub to the pool right after. It doesn't make sense. You go to the hot tub to get out the aches, then jump into a pool where the temp is much colder and you will all of a sudden tighten up again. do'h.

They call it "Icy Hot" for a reason. lol

That guy looks like he's losing. Pain, loss of teeth, and a loss.

My agony is the degree of frustration in all things service related. I am constantly amazed at how difficult it is to get good service...so much so, that I annoy myself for letting it be an issue.

Today I packed 6 tons of tiles in my car while burly men sauntered by. I couldn't help but be reminded, that if I were younger and cuter, I wouldn't have had to break a sweat. Now I know that's a little sexist, yet in spite of being an independant person with such things, it still kinda annoyed me. But to back it up a minute.....why aren't they asking as you are going through the checkout if you will be needing any help (instead of relying on the kindness of strangers) You drop a thousand bucks in their pockets, and nadda.

Aw. Was it Home Depot? I know it was HD....HD sucks for customer service.

Mr LM nearly got in a fistfight once with the HD manager. But I digress...

Our neighbourhood lumberyard is #1 for customer service.

Too bad they only sell paint, lighbulbs and lumber...
