Need contacts?!?!

I've been ordering my contacts from visiondirect.com. I think it has some of the best prices and gives you discounts for buying in bulk (those that use disposable contacts know how important that is ). I recently placed an order, and the shipping address was incorrect. I gave them a call today and the customer service was absolutely superb! They saw that my package was lost through forwarding and decided to send me out a whole new shipment with 3 days shipping for free! Talk about great service and great price. If you need contacts, forget the optometrist, they like to gouge. Visiondirect.com is where it's at.

p.s. No I don't work for them and I'm not getting a discount for sharing my story.

Red Ring of Death FTW!!!!

I can't believe I'm actually happy I got the red ring of death last night! When I purchased my xbox, I also bought the 2 year replacement warranty. For those who think warranties are for suckers, read on. I go back today and return my xbox. I originally purchased my system for $400. However, they have recently upgraded the xbox and no longer sell my exact xbox kit. So they had to credit my xbox back to me. Therefore, I ended up with a $430 credit. Using that I purchased the new xbox 360 "pro edition" (which was $299), a new 2 year replacement plan, ironman movie dvd, heroes season 2 AND I still had 8 bucks left on my gift card. Talk about the best warranty ever. If you need to buy a 360 and are afraid of the rrod, buy it from bestbuy and get the warranty. Saved me from weeks of waiting for a new xbox and got me a few other goodies as well.

Trufax?!?! I dunno, but if it is it would be very useful

Good stuff to know...

5 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for
survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST - Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find
yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile, network and there is
an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network
to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this
number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND - Have you locked your keys in the car?

Does your car have remote key less entry? This may come in handy
someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the
car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell
phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from
your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button,
holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock.

Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no
object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach
someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the
doors (or the trunk).

Editor's Note: "It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car
over a cell phone!"

THIRD - Hidden Battery Power.

Imagine your cell battery is very low. To
activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart with this
reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This
reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.

FOURTH - How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits
on your phone: * # 0 6 #, a 15 digit code appears on the screen. This
number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere
safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider
and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset
so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally
useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know
that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does
this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

And Finally....

FIFTH - Free Directory Service for Cells

Cell phone companies are
charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they
don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our
vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you
need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800) FREE 411, or
(800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into
your cell phone now.

Turn signals

Why is it everyone feels the need to start tailgating when the car in the next lane puts on their turn signal? Should we just not use them and cut in anyway?

Funny forwards

Dunno if you guys have read these but I thought it was hilarious.

_______________________________________________

She told me we couldnt afford beer anymore and Id have to quit.
Then I caught her spending $65.00 on make-up.
And I asked how come I had to give up stuff and not her.
She said she needed the make-up to look pretty for me.
I told her that was what the beer was for.
I dont think shes coming back

Divine understanding

A biker was riding along a California beach when suddenly the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant you one wish."

The biker pulled over and said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can ride over anytime I want."

The Lord said, "Your request is materialistic, think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of something that would honor and glorify me."

The biker thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife. I want to know how she feels inside, what shes thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says nothings wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy."

The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

Fight club!

Yes, yes I know the first rule of fight club, but this was just too hilarious. For all those that have participated in fight club, you know that recently, Panos has decided to be a fight club whore. Well, today in fight club, there were three of us just chilling in the room when Panos decides to fight.
[14:48:59] Panos: !fight !random
[14:48:59] fightbot: Panos starts fighting himself...
[14:48:59] fightbot: Panos punches himself in the throat.
[14:48:59] *** Panos has been kicked from #fightclub by fightbot: You have killed yourself!
[14:48:59] *** Panos has joined #fightclub.
LOL!!!!!!! I thought I would share since all of you missed it! Where were you and why werent you in site chat.

Every day I take my dog on a walk since there is a dog park right next to my work. During the walk, theres this area that has a bunch of bushes. A black bird with orange little splots next to his neck lives in these bushes. Usually I let my dog off the leash so he can have his freedom. Whenever we get to those bushes, he sniffs it and the bird pops out and charges at my dog! THAT PUNK! Now everytime I see that bird, I pick up a rock. Then when we pass by the area and the bird starts charging my dog, I toss the rock at it. Daddies gotta protect his children right? Damn punk birds.
