It's all word of mouth from family and friends.

Good for you! That is the most powerful form of advertising. Quite often, the most talented people never advertise, because they don't have to. Their reputation for quality goods or services is golden.

Reminds me of my father, years ago. He was a town meeting member (an elected position), and the group met once a month or more, if something important needed to be voted on. Whenever elections would come up, he did nothing and always got voted in, because of his solid reputation and business expertise. There would be others who'd spent money on these local campaigns, send out mailers, hang up signs in store windows, etc., and my father never spent one penny! :hilarious:

I didn't know there was a such thing as snow tires until I was on these boards. I don't know what I thought y'all did up where you get lots of snow. I guess I thought maybe you had magical cars immune to the effects of winter. :hilarious:
I hope you don't need them for a while as well.

Quite a few years ago, chains could be used in MA during really inclement weather. Eventually, they outlawed those. Then the studded tires came in and they were very good, but they tore up the roads. Those were outlawed at some point, too. Most people now use the all season tires. If I had extra money, I'd get snow tires, but the all season tires usually work well.

If I can pull everyone away from Harrison Ford for a minute... I'd like to tell you a true story. Today, I was talking with some people that live in my apartment complex. The conversation went like this.

Them: Hey, how are you. We haven't seen you around for a few weeks, is everything OK.
Me: Oh my yes, everything is fine I have just been away on vacation and I got back last Sunday.
Them: Wow, that is great... where did you go?
Me: I went to Europe for a few weeks and then took a cruise back.
Them: Man, that is great... Did you drive there?
Me: o_O:facepalm::banghead:

Doesn't speak well of our current education system does it? :bookworm::joyfull:

No, it doesn't speak well at all about our current educational system. However, it does make for a great story to tell others, when you're at a party! :p

Be careful with recording. We tried to record a teacher in high school who was like that and not only did the recording not work well, but the principal was not happy with us for doing that because of privacy and yada yada.

I was thinking that there might be a problem with recording the professor with him knowing too. I would suggest telling the professor that the recording is going to happen. @StarWarsGirl95 could always just say she wants to listen to it later, which wouldn't be a fib, and then record a few class periods.

Amen. I hope the Deans take a look into his grades now so they have a feel of what is coming at them within the next month. If that Professor has a brain he will fix them before the Deans need to. It might even be suggested to the Professors by the Deans without communicating that to the students.

agree.. also let's hope that professor doesnt try to pull his rank and lower the score of some as revenge. I've had my doze of that happening to me.

in other news, thanks for making my day better.

Still pretty annoyed here..
my boss paid next day (overnight)shipping with a hefty sum, so I could get my camera lens today.
The goddarn package is already in my town, but they refused to deliver it because it was "scheduled for tomorrow".
When I asked why, if its a next day service..
They claim my boss delivered the package "too late after the usual pick up" which is BS.
Even the tracking information shows the package was given to the shipping company office at 11:10 AM (plus 10 or less minutes to get it in the system)
and they ONLY moved it to the distribution center 5 hours later (4:45pm, in which it triggered the "too late").
but nooooo.. they insist in that lie blaming us.
This is a very common trick so they can get away for not shipping on time and not refunding the "next day GUARANTEED" services.
